Home My Public Portal About2012 Town Report266 Town of Brewster 2012 Annual Reports 267 Roland Webster Bassett, Sr. served the Town of Brewster for more than 60 years, in many capacities. He was first appointed a Special Police Officer in 1954. He was elected Constable in 1956. He was elected to the Planning Board in 1960 and served in that capacity until 1972. He was elected to the Board of Health in 1964 and served in that capacity until 1972. He first served as a Teller at Town Meeting in 1964 and he served on the Town’s Dump Committee in 1968 and 1969. Rolly Sr., also known as the “Coolest Man in Town” or the “Ice Man”, owned and operated Brewster Ice since the 1940s. Everyone knew Rolly, and Rolly knew everyone. He was a strong and reassuring presence, and his input and opinions were actively sought. Wherever he would sit, a group would naturally convene, and Rolly would “hold court”. He could hear about an issue, and quickly surmise the concise “truth” of a situation. He could be relied upon to render his own opinion or judgment, which was typically the best one around. Rolly’s big, tough, gruff exterior masked a kind and compassionate interior. Rolly was well- known for his caring and generosity, despite his insistence that he never receive compensation or recognition for his many contributions. His altruism has been instilled in all 5 of his children and they, in turn, have passed the Bassett legacy of community service and giving back, to his 16 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. We extend our profound appreciation to the family of Roland Webster Bassett, Sr., for all that he shared with us during his lifetime of reliable, selfless, public service to our Community. He will be sincerely missed. IN FOND MEMORY OF ROLAND W.

Brewster was recognized at the local, regional, state and national level for some significant accomplishments! At the local level, the Brewster Community Solar Garden in Commerce Park received the 2012 Clean Energy – Green Action Award for Renewable Generation from the C&I Renewable Energy Collaborative. The Town of Brewster was recognized for working with My Generation Energy to bring on line a renewable energy project which is capable of generating an annual output of 450,000 kWh. At the national level, Brewster received one of only six Coastal America Partnership Awards from the Obama Administration for the Stonybrook Marsh Restoration Project. The new culvert that was put in under Route 6A near the Museum of Natural History along with other efforts in the area has resulted in the restoration of 41 acres of salt marsh and improvements to the access of 386 acres of spawning and nursery habitat for endangered river herring. We were also recognized for the preservation of hundreds of acres of open space in the watershed over the years, which will help to ensure the long-term viability of restoration. What was of special note with this award was the number of different agencies that all worked together to make this happen. A rare feat these days! Along those same lines, but on a broader scale, Brewster received the 2012 Paul Tsongas Environmental Excellence Award from the Association to Preserve Cape Cod. We were recognized “for being a model of municipal leadership on Cape Cod in protecting, preserving and restoring the town’s environmental and natural resources for the benefit of current and future generations.” It was noted we are the only town on the Cape with a Natural Resources Protection Zoning bylaw and our Comprehensive Water Study was one of only a few to look beyond the waste water issue and address drinking water as well. Perhaps this is why we also receive the New England Water Works award for the Best Drinking Water in the state of Massachusetts. Special thanks go to the efforts of our Water Department for this award. Although these awards recognize the efforts of certain groups and individuals, all citizens of Brewster should take great pride in them. These all came about due to your votes on warrant articles over the years and as well as this year. You again voted to protect another 80 acres of open space and authorized the restoration of the dam and herring run at the mill site. These votes have helped make our town not only a great place to live, but worthy of the type of recognitions we received this past year. This past year also saw a fairly smooth budgeting season. We were able to provide the same services as the prior year without an override, although the town supported our decision to expand public safety services and fund two new fire fighter/paramedics and a new police officer. The Board also negotiated new 3-year contracts with the four employees’ unions in town to the satisfaction of both sides. In the year ahead, we will continue to work on the Solar Energy projects at the landfill and Commerce Park, which will not only produce a projected 6 million kWh of sustainable energy each year, but also produce a significant economic return to our town. We hope to implement a new Pay-As-You-Throw program at the transfer station to encourage recycling and distribute 16 costs more fairly as the cost of solid waste removal escalates. And we will make every effort to resolve issues with dogs in town that is fair to both sides. The make-up of the board did not change this year as both Peter Norton and Jim Foley were both re-elected to serve another term. This is the first time since 2009 where the members on the board have been the same for two consecutive years. And although we may have different opinions on issues, we respect each other in our efforts to do what we believe is best for our town. Finally, we couldn’t do the job we do without the assistance we receive from a really great group of town employees. The department heads do a wonderful job in providing the services for our town and work well with us given the financial constraints we impose on them. We receive tremendous support from the Town Administrator’s staff, Jillian Douglass and Donna Kalinick and our own assistant, Susan Broderick. And mostly, we are really blessed to have not only a very astute and unassuming Town Administrator but also the longest continuous serving one on the Cape, Charlie Sumner. His service to the town these past 26 years and the knowledge he possesses is far and away the single most important factor in helping us serve you. Respectfully submitted, R. Daniel Rabold, Chairman John Dickson, Vice Chairman Edward S. Lewis, Clerk Peter G. Norton James W. Foley 17 Financial planning, budgetary matters and Town Meeting preparation typically absorb a significant segment of my efforts. Obviously Federal and State economic conditions have a significant economic impact on the Town’s ability to maintain a desired level of service for both School and Town operations as we worked to create an operating budget for Fiscal Year 2013. Proposition 2 ½ is a statutory provision that limits the amount of revenue that a Town may raise from local property taxes each year to fund governmental operations. However the law does allow a Town to increase property tax revenues above that limit with voter approval. Local receipts, which actually declined in both FY2009 and FY2010, rebounded strongly in FY2011. Total revenues actually increased by over $400,000 in FY2011; with motor vehicle excise taxes and rooms occupancy being the major contributors to this improved condition. Needless to say golf revenues were problematic in FY2011, declining by almost $200,000. However our Golf Commission and Director of Golf have made a series of operational changes in order to tackle this problem. In addition, the Town contracted with a private firm to perform a comprehensive operational analysis of the Captains Golf Course in order to review operations and identify other options. Another significant revenue area for Brewster is State Aid; gross state aid collections for the Town declined by approximately $400,000 since their peak in FY2008. This is coupled with the Nauset School District’s State Aid decline during this same period by almost $500,000. However State revenue collections, while still an area of concern, have improved and adjusted State Aid between FY2011 and FY2012 has stabilized. While we were able to develop an operating budget for FY2013 that maintained the same level of service as provided in the previous year without additional taxation under Proposition 2 ½, the Board of Selectmen did add a special ballot question in the amount of $199,000 in order to increase staffing for both the Police and Fire Departments. Burglaries, fraud, forgery, larceny cases and the illegal use of drugs have been on the rise in our area. The issues associated with the illegal sale and use of narcotics on Cape Cod has affected all Towns in our region. The technical expertise needed for the successful investigation and prosecution of these crimes is essential and requires specialized skills and focus in investigative techniques, criminal law and criminal procedure. This situation resulted in a successful request for an additional police officer in order to attend to this matter. In addition, the Fire Department has experienced a steady rise in the number of requests for emergency incident responses over the past several years. As these requests for service increased so did the need for an adequate number of career firefighter/paramedic personnel. Although we are fortunate to have an extremely dedicated staff of call personnel their availability during our busiest hours is significantly reduced by full-time jobs, and personal and family commitments. These factors created an environment in which our organization struggles to maintain effective levels of response to emergency medical and fire suppression incidents. Based on an internal review of our current career staffing levels, future needs of the community, increased requests for service, and the fundamental need to enhance firefighter safety and operational effectiveness at emergency incidents we determined that the addition of two career firefighter/paramedics to our staff was a necessity. I worked, in partnership with Selectmen Dan Rabold and Ed Lewis, on the collective REPORT OF THE TOWN ADMINISTRATOR 18 bargaining negotiation processes with the Town’s four different bargaining units. After many meetings and a great deal of discussions, we did agree to a series of three-year agreements with our various units, which were approved at the 2012 Special and Annual Town Meetings. In July of 2011, the Massachusetts State Legislature passed legislation referred to as the municipal health care reform act. This legislation allowed communities to bypass traditional collective bargaining processes in order to redesign existing health care plans, or alternatively to move employees into the state’s Government Insurance Commission (GIC), which bargains on behalf of state employees. The significant issue within this legislation permits communities, as an alternative to the GIC plan, to redesign existing health care plans as long as the resulting co-pays and deductibles are no higher than those offered by GIC plan. This legislative authorization did result in annual budgetary savings in the approximate amount of $425,000 in FY2013. The Town’s Debt Service budget declined modestly from $2,871,672 in FY2012 to the sum of $2,835,268 (-1.3%) for FY2013. Most of this Town related debt is not funded through the tax levy but through separate revenue offsets accounts, such as, private road & water betterments; golf expansion; water projects and Community Preservation initiatives. However the 2011 Fall Yearly Town Meeting did approve an article for Brewster’s share of the costs to replace the windows, some exterior doors, and the roofs at Nauset Regional High School. Brewster’s share of the cost is $2,800,000. The project is designed to meet all of the latest “green” energy codes and should save the school 10% -15% on its energy costs in future years. Nauset High has received a grant of $2.4 million from the State towards this project which will subsidize 37.32% of these estimated costs. While the actual repair work occurred during 2012, this expense will not impact the tax levy until FY2014. The Town has dedicated significant resources over the past several years towards the evaluation and improvement of water quality issues in the Stony Brook Valley estuary. Clearly the Stony Brook Valley contains an important herring fishery, which was heavily impacted by roadway storm-water runoff. Previous improvements included the installation of enhanced roadway storm-water system at the Stony Brook Millsites area; the intersection of Stony Brook Road and Paines Creek Road, the Paines Creek Beach parking lot as well as the installation of a new culvert under Route 6A designed to improve tidal flow to the Stony Brook valley. In the fall of 2012, utilizing a Federal stimulus grant program, we started a project to reconstruct the dam at the Lower Mill Pond at the Stony Brook Millsites area. The existing earthen dam at the Stony Brook Mill site was evaluated, according to state safety standards, which resulted in the need for its replacement. In addition, the current fish passage weirs within the stream needed to be refurbished as well as the construction of several additional units in order to promote and enhance fish passage. This project will be completed in the spring of 2013. Finally we received a grant to replace the culvert at Paines Creek Beach leading to Freemans Pond. We are currently engaged in the permitting, design and bidding phase for this project; and anticipate undertaking construction in spring of 2013. The Town has been engaged in evaluating alternative energy options over the past few years. Town Meetings provided the Board of Selectmen with the necessary authorization to negotiate and enter into long-term contracts with the Cape and Vineyard Electric Cooperative 19 (CVEC) in order to accomplish the long–term goal of developing publicly-owned renewable energy facilities on Town-owned property. CVEC is a public entity, established to finance and share the risk associated with the development of large-scale renewable-energy projects with the goal of assisting Cape communities to stabilize municipal electric costs through the local production of renewable energy. The Town has been working with the CVEC to develop two large scale photo voltaic systems on Town-owned parcels of land located at the Commerce Park on Freemans Way and at the Town’s capped landfill off Run Hill Road. We were engaged in contract negotiations; design and permitting for these project throughout the 2012 and anticipate the beginning of system construction in FY2013. The Town has an agreement, for a period of 25 years, plus a 10 year renewal option, with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to lease the Crosby Mansion along with two nearby cottages. Due to the efforts of the Friends of Crosby Mansion, the Town has completed the repair of both cottages. These cottages are rented out during the tourism season. The rental proceeds are then reinvested into the mansion and cottages throughout the term of the lease. We completed the installation of a new septic system at the Mansion last year; and students from the Cape Cod Technical High School have started the construction of the bathroom addition in the fall of 2012. These improvements will enhance our ability to rent out the Crosby Mansion in order to generate additional monies for the continued renovation of the Mansion building. The Town of Brewster has approximately 100 miles of roads that are privately owned and maintained. The Town has a bylaw that allows us to assist homeowners on private roads to repair and repave their neighborhood road system. This past year included one project, that being Prell Circle. The homeowners are responsible to repay the town for the cost of the work through a betterment assessment. As always I would like to recognize the dedicated efforts of the staff in the Board of Selectmen’s Office, those being Jillian Douglass, Liana Rasmussen, Donna Kalinick and Susan Broderick. Of course Brewster is blessed by the contribution of our hundreds of volunteers who provide countless hours of valuable service to the Town, which is greatly appreciated.

We started off the year by mailing more than 4000 Census/Annual Street Listings to the Citizens of Brewster, and processing the 3500 that were returned. More than 900 of Brewster’s 1400 dogs were licensed during this time. In March, we held the Presidential Primary with a voter participation of 16%, which ran very smoothly with the first use of the new AccuVote tabulating machines. In May we held the Annual/Special Town Meetings followed closely by the Annual Town Election with a participation rate of 22%. In September there was the State Primary with a 13% voter turnout, followed by a petitioned district wide recount for the Democratic Governor’s Council seat. Our Fall Special Town Meeting date of October 29, 2012 collided with a visit from Hurricane Sandy; however a few brave souls had to venture out into the night in order to open and postpone Town Meeting until November 13, 2012. November 6, 2012 was the Presidential Election with a voter turnout of 80% or 6579 of our registered voters. Here in the Town Clerk’s office we processed over 1200 absentee ballot requests for the Presidential Election. Please see the next page for the breakdown of issued certified copies, raffle permits, vital recordings, business certificates, fines, marriage intentions, etc. All Town Meeting/Election Reports are submitted and on the following pages. Our Board of Registrar members worked tirelessly to aid in the running of the Presidential Election; thank you, Thaddeus (Ted) Nabywaniec, the Democratic Representative and Francis (Frank) Smith, the Republican Representative. I would like to thank Ellen St. Sure our Town Archivist for her assistance with the Town Vault and aiding many genealogists in their historical searches. Thank you, Jayanne Sci, the Assistant Town Clerk, who continues her excellent service to our office and the citizens of Brewster. We have many people to thank for their support and assistance this prior year, to name a few; the Board of Selectmen; Thomas Thatcher, Building Maintenance Supervisor; Leon Rice, Building Custodian; the DPW staff, especially for the help with the parking lot on election day as well as the set-up and dismantling of the election site; Brewster Police Department; Brewster Fire Department for lighting the parking lot; all of the election workers; and finally the citizens of Brewster. Thank you to our fellow co-workers and Robert Harris who volunteered to help with the District Wide Recount. A special thank you should go to David Whitney, Pamela Smith and Patricia Galante who volunteered their time along with the Registrars to help the residents of the nursing homes cast their ballots. Finally a special thank you to Charles Sumner, Town Administrator for his continued guidance and support. We were preparing for a quiet election year ahead, but now anticipate a Special Primary and Special Election will be in the near future. I look forward to continuing my service to the community.

The proposed dredging is intended to maintain or restore historical navigable access for the public and is of the minimum scale necessary to maintain that access. Historical navigable access refers to the location of navigation channels and water depth at mean low water necessary to accommodate vessel drafts characteristic of the majority of vessels traditionally moored in Pleasant Bay and its subembayments. For contextual reference, historical channel depths are provided in Table 1, and the sizes of moored vessel are provided in Table 2. Figures A, B and C show channel width at a depth of four feet or greater. 2. Shoaling and changes in tidal regime have altered traditional channels such that historical navigable access between Pleasant Bay and Chatham Harbor, between either water body and the Atlantic Ocean, or through the entrance to Bassing Harbor, is severely impeded. Severely impeded access would, for example, preclude access by the commercial fleet for safe haven of vessels, or preclude safe and reasonable access by recreational boaters. 3. Through the permitting process, the municipality has undertaken an evaluation of alternatives to improvement dredging which demonstrates that the proposed improvement dredging is the preferred feasible alternative to restore historical navigable access with regard to avoiding and minimizing impacts to natural resources. 4. A feasible plan is proposed to place the dredged material within the Pleasant Bay system in a manner that is beneficial to resources protected under local and state wetlands protection regulations. 5. Through the permitting process the municipality has undertaken an evaluation of resource impacts resulting from proposed improvement dredging and placement of dredged material, and is able to demonstrate avoidance and minimization of resource impacts and adequate mitigation for any unavoidable impacts. Resource impacts of concern include those affecting shellfish populations and habitat, finfish populations and habitat and other resources and values protected under state and local wetlands protection regulations. 133 The proposed project would be subject to all applicable local, regional and state regulations. During regulatory proceedings the Alliance would provide public comments based an assessment of information and materials provided with regard to items 1 through 5 above and to further describe the proposed improvement dredging project. or to take any other action relative thereto.

The Special Town Meeting was dissolved at 10:10pm. A True Copy Attest: Colette M. Williams, CMC Town Clerk 163 The Brewster Agricultural Commission was established in 2005 by Brewster Town Meeting voters and is comprised of seven members and an alternate. In an attempt to identify and serve the agricultural interests of Brewster, the following definitions of ‘farming’ and ‘agriculture’ as outlined in Massachusetts General Law Chapter 128 Sec. 1A, are being applied. • Farming in all its branches, the cultivation and tillage of the soil • Dairying • Production, cultivation, growing, and harvesting of any agricultural, aquacultural, floricultural, viticultural or horticultural commodities • Growing and harvesting of forest products upon forest land, and any other forestry or lumbering operations • Raising of livestock including horses • Keeping of horses as a commercial enterprise • Keeping, raising of poultry, swine, cattle, ratites (emus, ostriches and rheas) and camelids (llamas, camels), other domesticated animals for food and other agricultural purposes, including bees and fur-bearing animals. State and Federal Agriculture Issues: The USDA reminded producers to ensure that their farm is counted in the 2012 Census of Agriculture. Conducted every five years, this is a complete count of U.S. farms and the people who operate them. It looks at land use, ownership, operator characteristics, production practices, income, expenditure, etc. The Census is the only source of uniform, comprehensive agricultural data. The results are used to serve farmers and their communities today, and help benefit the future generations of farmers tomorrow. Legislators use the data when shaping farm policy and agribusinesses factor it into their planning efforts. From the 2007 Census, this County has almost doubled the numbers of farms, with the average farm size being reduced by about half. The top crop is berries, ranking second in the state. The top livestock is poultry. Barnstable ranks in the top 10% production in the state for berries and poultry and 6th for colonies of bees. The average age of a farmer is 52.7. It is never too late to get started! There is also a new website/App called Harvest to Hand. This offers consumers easy access to fresh farm products/markets, local harvest festivals, events, pick-your-own, home-spun goods and family-friendly farms at their fingertips. Go to www.harvesttohand.com Local Zoning Changes At 2012 Fall Town Meeting, the Planning Board re-presented an agricultural article to change a section of the Table of Uses by adding “Year-round Greenhouses/Farm Stands for wholesale and/or retail sale of agricultural or farm produce” as an allowed use in the Residential Medium (RM) and Industrial (I) Districts. These uses were already allowed in the Rural Residential (RR), Residential Light (RL), Commercial High Density (CH) and Village Business (VB) districts. This year this article did pass. REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL COMMISSION 164 Activities in 2012 Many local farmers attended AG Day in April in Boston meeting with various governmental officials on current Ag issues. This will be held on April 2nd in 2013. In March, a “Meet Your Local Farmers” event allowed local farmers to showcase their product, promote their farms and kick off the 2012 growing season. Sponsored by the Harwich Conservation Trust and the Cape &Islands Farm Bureau, everyone is encouraged to attend in 2013 in March at the Harwich Community Center. A few Brewster farmers are still involved with what is now only called the Harwich Farmers’ Market, currently held on the grounds of the Brooks Academy Museum in Harwich Center during the summer months. A number of local businesses may be looking into opening a Farmers Market in Brewster. Aquaculture On the waterfront, sea farms, now numbering 8 active farms and involving over 18 individuals, continue to produce that delectable bivalve the “Brewster Oyster” and expand its distribution to local restaurants and seafood retailers. Grown under carefully monitored aquaculture methods in the pristine waters of Cape Cod Bay, each oyster is hand selected according to size and appearance for the discriminating raw bar market. It takes about three years of continuous sorting, sizing, and transplanting to produce an oyster for market. The Brewster Aquaculture Association members agreed that “Brewster Oysters” should be harvested larger and more robust than the state legal minimum. This larger size, combined with a defined cup, sets them apart from other oysters. It took a large effort to get the “Brewster Oyster” to where it is today, and the Association works hard to retain its individuality, identity and unique Cape Cod flavor and taste. This year’s harvest brought in 192,150 oysters, a 51% increase over 2011! The increase is probably due to a number of factors; such as warmer water temperatures (faster growth and food availability), strong demand for a product that is gaining respect and market share, and probably not least, greater knowledge and success on the part of the individual growers. For more information go to the Brewster Oyster website: www.brewsteroyster.com. In addition to these private farms, the Town of Brewster Shellfish Dept. and a dedicated number of volunteers farm oysters for fall distribution at specific landings in town. Once distributed these oysters may then be gathered by licensed shellfishers. Cranberry Harvest This year looked like a bountiful crop, starting ahead of the normal season due to the early arrival of spring. Growers delighted in good conditions during the bloom and pollination phase of the season, avoided frost damage with their modern sprinkler systems when temperatures reached below freezing in late April and early May, and battled heat stress in July. However, when finally harvested, the numbers were lower than 2011. There are approximately 51 acres of cranberry bogs in Brewster (a couple of bogs straddle town lines so the count isn’t exact). Using the state-wide average of 165.96 barrels per acre, the estimated harvest for Brewster would be 8,463.96 barrels or 846,396 pounds of cranberries for 2012. There are about 440 to 540 cranberries in a pound depending on the size of the 165 berries, and 44,000 to 54,000 cranberries in a 100 lb. barrel. For more information go to www.cranberries.org. Cape Cod & Islands Farm Bureau The Commission works closely with the Cape Cod & Islands Farm Bureau which usually meets once a month. This group offers assistance to farmers, as well as the general public. They offer their services and advice to any group or person who wishes to preserve the prudent use of the land and waters to benefit current and future generations of Cape Codders. The Bureau welcomes the involvement of members, associate members and the support and encouragement of the entire Cape Cod Community. For more information go to “info@capecodfarms.com” The Commission also works closely with the Building Commissioner and will assist Town Departments, Committees, Boards or residents when Agricultural issues are involved. In 2012 the Commission welcomed Lucas Dinwiddie of Halcyon Farm on 6A and accepted the resignation of David Crocker. We wish thank David for the time and expertise he gave to the Commission. Anyone interested in getting involved in agriculture or agricultural issues should contact the Brewster Agricultural Commission at: Agricultural Commission 508-896-3701 x 1149 or BREWSTER@town.brewster.ma.us On behalf of Brewster’s agricultural heritage…the harvest goes on….. Respectfully submitted, Peter Hermann, Chair Lucas Dinwiddie David Carlson, Vice Chairman Rebecca Howes Stephan Brown Jack Latham, Jr. David Crocker - resigned David Miller 166 REPORT OF THE ALEWIFE COMMITTEE The 2012 season at the herring run has seen a lot of changes. As in the past number of years, the numbers of returning herring has increased. This we know from the results from the herring counting program organized by the Association to Preserve Cape Cod. This group of volunteers, in good weather and in bad, shows up at the run to serve their shift to individually record each fish as it passes into Lower Mill Pond. Thank you to all of these people, you know who you are. This past fall the Division of Marine Fisheries repaired and installed new ladders in the stream on the south side of Stony Brook Rd. This work will make the last part of the brook easier for the fish to negotiate as well as providing for more and better resting pools. The new dam is ahead of schedule. Although, a major change to the area around the run, the dam was in poor condition, having been repaired several times in the past. Deemed a dam, it falls under the Commonwealth of Mass. for safety inspections and although we realized it needed replacement, the state had a hand in seeing that it was replaced. Chris Miller, our Natural Resources officer has been instrumental in seeking funds and working with the engineering firm. A huge thank you also goes out the towns people and the Community Preservation Committee for their continued support of our projects at the run. Several storms this fall and early winter have resulted in the blowing over or severely damaging many of the largest trees at the run. Many of these were planted in the late 60’s and frankly we are not sorry to see them gone. Their root systems were a nuisance; they were growing into the stream and dislodging stones from some of the stone walls. With the help of the DPW and volunteers from Americorp, we have been removing the downed trees and stumps, a large and time consuming project. As one can tell by reading this report the Alewife Committee relies heavily on volunteers to access, repair and maintain our run. To all town departments committees, towns people, and volunteers thank you for your continuing support. Respectfully, Dana A Condit, Chairman Members: William Le Maitre William Todd 167 REPORT OF THE ALL CITIZENS ACCESS COMMITTEE The mission of the All Citizens Access Committee is to advise and guide the town of Brewster and the general public regarding issues of accessibility in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. In keeping with its mission, the ACAC has been planning and working to improve accessibility in various areas with members of town departments and committees, especially with Bob Bersin, Superintendent of Department of Public Works; Chris Miller, Director of Natural Resources; Jillian Douglass, Assistant Town Administrator; Ellen Ojala, Director of Recreation; and John Dickson, Selectman. • Under the guidance of the Drummer Boy Access Advisory Committee, an accessible walkway at Drummer Boy Park was installed this fall and is the first step toward making Drummer Boy Park more accessible to all. • The accessible platform at Linnell Landing is scheduled to be replaced in the spring of 2013. • The committee has been working closely with the Recreation Department to determine how the town’s recreational areas can be made more accessible. A survey of the Freemans Way Recreational Fields was done with Jeff Dougan, the Assistant Director for Community Services from the MA Office on Disability, the results of which will be the basis of future accessibility plans for Brewster’s recreational areas. • Plans for an accessible walkway at Paines Creek were put on hold until the new culvert at Paines Creek is installed. • The dam at the Grist Mill is being rebuilt resulting in the possibility of developing an accessible pathway along the east side of the mill. Other ways in which the ACAC fulfills its mission is through promoting the use of the CART system at town meetings and the AutoMark Voter Assist Terminal at elections, maintaining a town web site, networking with other Cape disability commissions, and working closely with the MA Office on Disability. Brewster was fortunate this summer to have two Mobi-chairs donated to the town. Mobi- chairs are beach wheelchairs which float and fold up for easy transport. One was donated by the Friends of the Brewster Elders and the other by the SMILE (Small Miracles in Life Exist) organization through the efforts of Ellen Ojala, the Director of Recreation. One Mobi-chair is available for use through the Council on Aging; the other is kept at Long Pond. This year we welcomed Claire Gradone as a new member and said goodbye to Jean Sears. Jean was the first Vice-Chair of this committee when it was established back in 1985 and was dedicated to its mission throughout her 27 years of service. We also welcomed Jim O’Leary as the committee’s liaison from the Finance Committee. We look forward to another busy year in 2013 and we encourage and welcome others to come and join us in helping to make Brewster as accessible as it can be. Respectfully submitted, Maureen Steinmann, Chair Brian Ladley Claire Gradone Denise Rego Robert Steinmann 168 REPORT OF THE TOWN ARCHIVIST The Town Archivist writes essays, based on historical materials, which appear in the printed warrants prepared for town voters before each town meeting. Several other on-going projects, related to archival materials in the town vault, are not yet in final form. Ellen St. Sure Town Archivist Crosby Mansion Bathroom Addition Project 169 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS In 2012, the Interim Adjustment to property values was completed, and resulted in a decrease of the total taxable value of the town of 2.82%, to $3,251,967,110, and a tax rate of $7.92 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation. The average value of a single family house in Brewster decreased to $438,700. Next year we will finish the Cyclical Re-Inspection Program, where data collectors from the pk Valuation Group will continue to measure and list the final third of improved properties that they did not inspect in the prior re-inspection cycle. The cooperation of property owners in allowing interior inspections of properties is greatly appreciated, as it is essential to the effectiveness of the program, the goal of which is the most accurate assessments possible. This data will be the basis of the Triennial Revaluation for FY 2014, upon which work will commence early next year. Long time Assessor James Jursak resigned from the Board because he moved out of town. His knowledge of the Brewster real estate market and extensive assessing knowledge, as well as his affable personality, will be greatly missed. He has been replaced by Assessor Belinda Eyestone, the Deputy Assessor for the Town of Truro. Thank you Deputy Assessor David Tately and Senior Department Assistant Sandra Joseph, who continue their excellent service to the taxpayers of Brewster and real estate professionals who use the resources of the office.

REPORT OF THE BIKEWAYS COMMITTEE 171 REPORT OF THE BGTV VIDEO SERVICES COORDINATOR This is to outline accomplishments and progress in Brewster Government Television’s (BGTV) development for the year 2012. It also marks a little over one year of me being officially awarded the contract for video services for the Town of Brewster in Oct. of 2011, although I began to provide video services on a limited basis as a volunteer to the town originally in Jan. 2010, and in the end of 2010 as a paid contractor. I would like to acknowledge and commend the Board of Selectmen, Town Administration, Town Departments Heads, and the many other town boards, committees, volunteers and residents who submit themselves on a regular basis to being videotaped for the sake of broadcasting on cable TV to facilitate a transparent process of open government for the citizens of Brewster. All the following programming statistics are related to the time period Jan. 1st, 2012, to Dec. 31st, 2012. •The town paid JP Ludwig Consulting Services $56,818.25 for 1420 hours of contract services for the year in 2012. •The town produced 217 first run programs (the programs that I actually produced for the town) that aired 2378 times. Compare this to last year’s totals: The town produced 102 first run programs that aired 1040 times. o Board of Selectmen - 30 first-run programs that aired 284 times o Finance Committee - 29 first-run programs that aired 214 times o Planning Board - 25 first-run programs that aired 166 times o Conservation Commission – 17 first-run programs that aired 104 times o Brewster School Committee - 12 first-run programs that aired 80 times o Town Meetings - 2 first-run programs that aired 21 times o Board of Health - 19 first-run programs that aired 131 times o Zoning Board of Appeals - 7 first-run programs that aired 37 times o Brewster Ladies Library - 23 first-run programs that aired 320 times o Stony Brook Elementary School - 5 first-run programs that aired 88 times o Golf Commission - 2 first-run programs that aired 10 times o Specials and Events – 29 first-run programs that aired 489 times o Nauset Regional School Committee - 6 first-run programs that aired 25 times •Barnstable County - 75 first-run programs that aired 280 times that included: Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates, County Commissioners, Cape Cod Commission, and a few others. •Programs downloaded from the Mass Gov server produced for the state - 31 first- run programs that aired 187 times. •Time Machine, which consists of government-produced archive programs downloaded from Archive.org – 49 first-run programs that aired 245 times. •Total numbers of all first-run shows on BGTV including those produced by the town, Barnstable County, Mass Gov, and Arhive.org - 372, that aired a total number of 3090 times. Compared to last year’s report: 211 first run shows that aired a total number of 2062 times. The numbers mentioned above do not include the numerous PSAs (Public Service Announcements) downloaded from the Ad Council that aired on BGTV. Also worth noting are the numerous announcements that are shown on the Electronic Bulletin Board (EBB) describing events in town going on at places like the Council on Aging, Ladies’ Library, Town Hall, etc. For those interested in seeing the detailed report for 2012 BGTV programming including stats, pie charts, graphs, etc. they are available in great detail: Login to the BGTV user account for the BGTV Network. 172 Go to: http://75.144.134.28/FrontDoor/Login.aspx user name: cab, PW: town Click /cablecast- click/reporting - click /all shows – in “event date range” go to “custom” enter “1/1/2012” to “12/31/2012” in “breakdown” check boxes “total, category, producer” then click/go Some other 2012 highlights worth mentioning: •As of December 31st, 2012 the Town of Brewster has $119,345.45 in capital assets in the BGTV equipment inventory. This amount reflects all equipment purchased by the town with cable franchise funds beginning in 2009 for the purposes of producing and cablecasting government programming on Comcast Channel 18 in Brewster. The inventory is also broken down in categories: field production equipment and studio production equipment, for accurate insurance purposes. •At the request of the Town Administration and the Cable Advisory Board oversight and updates are regularly provided on the progress of Lower Cape Community Access Television Inc. (LCCAT, Lower Cape TV, Channel 99) and can be found in the minutes of Cable Advisory Board minutes on the town web site. •2012 continued with the entire in-house production of audio/video of Spring and Fall Town Meetings. Both meetings’ warrant articles were summarized in BGTV programs by Town Administrator, Charlie Sumner, before the meetings took place and aired numerous times on BGTV before each meeting to better inform the citizenry of the issues to be debated. •2012 saw an expansion of programs produced in the field (on location). A few examples include: Brewster in Bloom, Brewster Conservation Day, The Brew Run, Polar Plunge, events at Stony Brook Elementary School; authors, lectures and concerts at Brewster Ladies Library and the Brewster Council on Aging, as well as some ongoing documentation of the Stony Brook Restoration Project. Programs such as these that are of broader local interest are shared on community access LCTV (Channel 99) for viewing to other communities on the Outer Cape. •All programs produced by the town are available for viewing on the town web site and the number of unique viewers to the town’s video content on the web has almost tripled over the past year. The Town Administration’s commitment to open government and the cooperation of so many individuals in what is equivalent to living in a TV fish bowl for the sake of an informed citizenry is exemplary to say the least. It takes special individuals to willingly participate in this always very public and sometimes very personal process. BGTV and the additional access provided on the web are productive in streamlining the legislative process for residents and seasonal residents alike. Looking to 2013 BGTV has progressed and is now fully integrated into the fabric of Brewster town government and the community and will continue to expand and improve in 2013. It is an invaluable tool for those working within town government and provides the opportunity for residents to stay up to date on all the various endeavors of the citizenry and municipal government in the overall participation in our democracy.

Staley, Building Commissioner Mobi-chair 175 REPORT OF THE CAPE COD COMMISSION Keeping a special place special The Cape Cod Commission is the regional land use planning, economic development, and regulatory agency created in 1990 to serve citizens and the 15 towns of Barnstable County. The Commission’s objective is to create a sustainable agency, respected for the balanced provision of regulatory, planning and technical services, as outlined in the Cape Cod Commission Act. The current strategic plan of the Commission includes goals, strategies and measures to achieve these major objectives: Financial sustainability, Technical excellence, Environmental protection balanced with Economic progress and Regional consensus. The Commission established three priorities for this year: I. Wastewater Management: Continued to develop/refine a regional wastewater management plan, prepared technical guidance for review of town Comprehensive Wastewater Management plans, assisted water supply projects, wastewater planning, supported cost-saving technologies/ management strategies. Conducted Cape-wide build-out analysis; analyzed green infrastructure opportunities, developed application for town evaluation of wastewater management options. The Watershed Initiative emphasizes the regional scope of watershed dynamics, encourages citizens to look past town boundaries when considering solutions for wastewater treatment. The ultimate goal is to work with citizen stakeholders to develop cost-effective, appropriately scaled wastewater solutions to benefit and preserve the environment and economy for the future. In June, the Director and staff participated in a “Saturday Conversation at the Brewster Ladies Library: Losing Cape Cod: Our Wastewater Challenge”. This was recorded and televised. II. Wind Energy Planning: Completed Ocean Management Plan: Planning and Regulation of Renewable Energy Facilities: to address potential wind energy development within State Ocean waters around Cape Cod. Produced Technical Bulletin #12-001: Visual Impact Assessment Methodology for Offshore Development: to guide/evaluate marine renewable energy proposals. Commission also addressed sand/gravel mining, and cable/pipeline installations in these waters. The Land Based Wind-Energy Conversion Facilities Technical Bulletin has yet to be completed. III Economic Development: Staff completed survey of Cape Cod’s “business climate”/worked with Cape Cod Economic Development Council, Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce and other partners to implement a Comprehensive Economic Developments Strategy (CEDS). Staff sought opinions of the business community on development/land use issues, the cost of doing business within Barnstable County, and to understand the impediments to business growth that local businesses experience. Staff participated in the 2nd Smarter Cape Summit II .held May 2012. Fertilizer/Pesticide Spraying: The County appropriated $35,000 for a Cape-Cod Pesticide and Fertilizer Use Inventory. The study’s final report is due late spring of 2013. 176 Shared Infrastructure: Staff promotes shared equipment and techniques to meet infrastructure needs across the Cape; is working to create regional e-permitting, e-licensing, and e-inspection online services for municipalities. Staff supports infrastructure solutions that result in more sustainable “Livable communities”, e.g. roadway construction with sidewalk/multi-use paths. Representation on the Commission allows Brewster to participate in setting regional policy, regulatory and funding priorities at Regional, State, and Federal levels and advocate for Town interests in land use planning.

As your representative to the Cape Cod Commission, I thank you for the privilege of working on behalf of our community in order to maintain a strong voice for Brewster on these important local and Cape-wide issues. Respectfully submitted, Elizabeth Graham Taylor, Brewster Delegate 178 REPORT OF THE CAPE COD PATHWAYS COMMITTEE The Pathways Committee was created in January of 1998 to establish Brewster’s section of the Cape Cod Pathway. Utilizing existing trails, ancient ways, cart paths, town roads and new trails, this pathway will eventually connect to walking trails in the towns of Dennis, Orleans and Harwich as part of a network of trails spanning the Cape. Its mission includes creating and developing other walking trails in the Town. The Committee continues its work exploring proposed trail routes. The trail is now complete except for three connecting sections in the middle of Brewster. A seven mile section from the Dennis line to Route 137 at Underpass Road has been plotted using GPS and is being marked with trail signs. The Cape Cod Pathways intention is to provide the walker with a variety of experiences while avoiding heavily populated areas as much as possible. Since the center of Brewster is more densely populated than the eastern or western parts of town, we are still trying to finish our connection to Nickerson Park from Underpass Road at Rte 137. The Committee negotiated with several property owners and private associations but so far has been unable to plot the trail along private property edges to connect open space parcels. We welcome suggestions from residents who enjoy walking on how to best connect our path. In 2012 members of the committee led the walk through Brewster as part of the end-to-end Cape Week Pathways walk. We participated in the inaugural Brewster Conservation Day with a booth at Drummer Boy Park and walks in the Punkhorn Parklands. We are coordinating with the Brewster FLATS group and work with the Brewster Conservation Trust to publicize established walking trails in the town. The Pathways Committee works closely with the Director of Natural Resources and the Conservation Commission and we welcome their participation at our meetings.

Respectfully submitted, Paul P. Sullivan, Chair Celeste Cash Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District School Committee Representatives for the Town of Brewster 181 REPORT OF THE CAPE COD REGIONAL TRANSIT AUTHORITY Dear Brewster Citizens – The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) has provided in Brewster 14,455 one- way passenger trips from January 2012 through December 2012. The Flex and H20 Bus service continues to provide a means for all citizens to have mobility. People (young and old) have learned to use the system to enjoy great flexibility in their lives. For those people living in South Brewster or working at the Pleasant Bay Facilities the H2O line (Orleans to Hyannis) provides Flag Stop service on Route 39. The schedules provide for great connections and convenience with the H2O (Orleans to Hyannis) and Provincetown shuttle More people are finding that the bus is an efficient and enjoyable way to travel. The service provides a means for people without other transportation to lead normal lives. The use of the service by everyone also contributes to fewer cars on the road and a better atmosphere. Brewster ridership on the Flex route for this year from January to December 2012 was 6,700 people which are the total of riders who boarded the buses in Brewster, but does not include people arriving from other towns. The increase in riders was 23% over 2011 for Brewster. Total Flex ridership for all seven towns was 67,934. The Flag Stop pick up in Brewster makes it very convenient to “catch a bus.” An improved DART (Old B-bus) Service for Brewster people added up to 4,250 trips.129 people enjoyed the use of this service. Total DART passenger trips in the fifteen towns of Cape Cod were 188,195 in 2012 compared to 178,652 in 2011. The Boston Hospital Transportation service provided 26 Brewster residents with 113 one- way trips. The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority provides the Brewster Council on Aging a Mobility Assistance Program (MAP) vehicle that provided 3,392 rides in 2012. Coming this summer is the CapeFLYER, a convenient way to get to and from Boston on the weekends. This fast and smooth train ride uses the Third Bridge!! No traffic to deal with!! In Hyannis it will make easy connections with the bus network and the ferries. Try it! “Use the Third Bridge , Ride the Train” Route maps, schedules, fares, Google Transit Trip Planner and the latest news about Cape Cod public transportation services are provided at www.capecodrta.org, as well as links to many other transportation resources. The citizens and Selectmen are to be thanked for their support and assistance. Try riding the Flex, H20, DART, AND ride the CapeFLYER! Respectfully submitted, Roy E. Jones, III Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority 182 REPORT OF THE CAPE COD WATER PROTECTION COLLABORATIVE Wastewater management continued to be the primary focus for the Collaborative this year. The discussions this year revolved around ongoing litigation, the evaluation of a regionalized approach to wastewater management, and the ongoing support of local planning and implementation efforts. The Collaborative continued to be a forum for towns to obtain information on best practices and guidance from the experiences of other towns throughout the region. The ongoing lawsuits between the Conservation Law Foundation, the Coalition for Buzzards Bay and the United State Environmental Protection Agency remains unresolved as of this writing. Barnstable County, while not a party to the litigation, played an important role in the cases while the parties attempted to have settlement discussions. The executive directors of the Collaborative and the Cape Cod Commission both participated in a portion of the settlement talks to educate the parties as to the state of wastewater management efforts on the Cape and the implications of the possible settlement terms on the region. While the parties did not settle and have proceeded to file brief in preparation to argue their respective cases, the educational efforts of the County left both sides better informed of local conditions. The Collaborative continues to actively monitor the progress of the litigation. The County Commissioner directed the executive directors of the Collaborative and the Commission to undertake an assessment of the possible benefits of a regionalized approach to wastewater management. The directive was issued early in 2012 with a report date of December 31, 2012. To ensure openness and input from the public, the Governing Board of the Collaborative has discussed each subject matter issue evaluated by staff prior to it being taken out for a broader public discussion. In addition, the Executive Director met with each of the 15 Boards of Selectmen and Councilors to provide an opportunity for input and discussion. The evaluation is not complete as of this writing, but all involved have committed to full public discussion and disclosure of the analysis as it is developed and presented to the Commissioners for their action. Lastly, the Collaborative has maintained its practice of supporting local planning and management efforts. The Collaborative has continued to provide third party consulting support in engineering and planning reviews and financial management to any town requesting such support. The majority of Cape Towns have accessed this support and the budget to continue this program was expanded and increased in FY 13. 183 REPORT OF THE CAPE LIGHT COMPACT Brewster Representative – Deane Keuch “After retiring as an energy conservation engineer in New York, I wanted to continue those efforts by serving on the Cape Light Compact Governing Board. I enjoy the continuing challenge in a field that I can contribute the results of my experience” - Deane Keuch Cape Light Compact is an intergovernmental organization consisting of the 21 towns and 2 counties on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. The Compact’s mission is to serve our 200,000 customers through the delivery of proven energy efficiency programs, effective consumer advocacy, competitive electricity supply and green power options. POWER SUPPLY Natural gas prices continue to be the primary driver of electricity prices in New England since natural gas generation sets the price for most hours of the year in New England. We expect electricity pricing for the first half of 2013 to increase from their current levels in the high six-cent range to levels in the high seven-cent range. In 2012, Cape Light Compact provided energy to residents and businesses in accordance with a competitive electricity supply contract negotiated by the Compact with ConEdison Solutions. As of December 2012, the Compact had 6,225 electric accounts in the Town of Brewster on its energy supply. ENERGY EFFICIENCY Jan. – Oct. 2012 Number of Participants Customer Savings kWh Saved Rebates/Incentives Paid to Customers Low Income 35 $ 9,091.60 45,458 $ 56,775.22 Residential 520 $ 76,894.00 384,470 $475,663.90 Commercial 13 $ 15,791.60 79,858 $ 20,926.23 Total 568 $101,957.20 509,786 $553,365.35 Funding for the energy efficiency programs (i.e. energy audits for homes and businesses, rebates on the purchase of energy efficient appliances and energy education in our schools) comes from a monthly customer “energy conservation” charge ($0.0025 cents multiplied by the number of kilowatt hours used during the month) that appears on each customer’s electric bill. Other Cape Light Compact efforts include: •1 ENERGY STAR® qualified home was built in the Town of Brewster. •Through Cape Light Compact’s Energy Education Program, the Eddy School 5th- Grade “Energizers” Team with the leadership of their Teacher, Mr. Torres, held a series of Energy Carnivals at the Eddy School and at elementary schools in Orleans, Chatham and Yarmouth. Cape Light Compact appreciates their enthusiasm in helping to present energy related topics in the areas of efficiency, renewable energy and the science of energy to other students in a way which is meaningful, exciting and fun! Cape Light Compact continues to support energy education to teachers through classroom visits, teacher training and materials. 184 Kids Teaching Kids at Eddy School Energy Carnival •The graph below depicts the lifetime generation of electricity and avoided CO2 at the Stonybrook Elementary School since its installation in 2006. (Please note: This graph represents the 2 kW system that was installed as part of the Solarize Our Schools program, and does not include the additional 100 kW array that was installed by CVEC). 185 REPORT OF THE BREWSTER CEMETERY COMMISSION The Brewster Cemetery Commission had several projects going at once this year. One project being the re-positioning of veteran’s stones at the Council on Aging grounds. For many years the memorial stones sat behind a long evergreen hedge which blocked the view of the stones from passersby. Indeed, several folks asked, “What stones?” when we began working on the project to have them moved. With permission from the Brewster Selectmen and the hard work of the Department of Public Works landscape crew, the stones where moved to the front of the Council on Aging building and another stone was added to include more Brewster veterans names. Another projected completed this year was the final marking stone for Lincoln/Foster; an ancient cemetery. With this marker the cemeteries in Brewster no longer have sign poles with plastic letters to mark the entrance of these old cemeteries. Now all are marked with engraved stones that will last many years. With funding from the Community Preservation Commission we are continuing our mission to save as many ancient stones as possible. Not all stones are able to be permanently saved but we are employing several techniques to keep these stones around until other preservation methods are developed. One temporary method is wooden framing done by a local craftsmen and another method is bonding to keep the face of the stone from falling away. This work was done by a preservationist trained in this technique. The Commission worked to maintain the landscapes of several cemeteries by straightening and cleaning stones. We hope to continue with more preservation work, using the same conservation methods, as funds are made available.

Under the current contract the PEG activities are funded by Comcast to a level that makes them feasible if carefully managed. For Brewster both the public community access cable TV and the educational community access cable TV are provided as single channels to a group of 5 towns: Brewster, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, and Truro. All the 5 towns receive the same public community access TV programs and the same educational community access cable TV programs. The educational community access cable TV is controlled by the Nauset Regional Board of Education and virtually all the activities are performed in the Nauset Regional High School by students or teachers at the NRHS. The assigned Comcast channel is channel 22. In order to provide the public community access cable TV a facility was built by remodeling space made available in the NRHS. This facility consists of a studio, an office, and associated spaces. An organization named “Lower Cape Community Access Television” (usually referred 187 to by the abbreviation “LCCAT”) runs the facility. The single stream of public community access cable TV programming is sent to Comcast for distribution in the 5 towns and is identified by Comcast as channel 99 in each of the 5 towns. The governmental community access cable TV is controlled by the Brewster Board of Selectmen. At present there is a paid professional employee who handles both the creation of governmental community access cable TV programming and its connection to Comcast. Comcast distributes the signal to and only to Brewster over the assigned Comcast channel (channel 18). This Year: Brewster viewers who have watched channel 99 more than a few times may well be aware of deficiencies in the quality of the video and the audio. Also there have sometimes been what seem to be unnecessarily long delays in resolving problems in channel 99. The Advisory Committee has repeatedly pushed LCCAT both for correction of the deficiencies themselves and for speedier responses in such situations. There has been some improvement. More remains to be done. The employee prepares monthly reports concerning the operations of the governmental community access cable TV channel. These reports include past actions, plans for approved future actions, and occasionally proposals for possible but not yet approved future actions. Sometimes relatively small expenditures are involved, such as repairs or replacement of equipment, or even a new item of equipment. The Advisory Committee studies these reports, discusses these matters with the employee, and makes appropriate comments. Additionally the Advisory Committee stays informed on the funding that comes from Comcast related to the government channel. These funds may be used properly for a certain range of activities somewhat beyond the direct costs of the operation of the government channel. Some proposed interconnections requiring use of some of these funds would improve communications among several of the town buildings as well as with the Internet, and we need to keep up to date on the ever-developing technical possibilities. Respectfully submitted, Norman Adams, Chairman Janet Husband, Clerk Jennie Mignone Walter Powers 188 REPORT OF THE COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE Now in its eighth year, the Brewster Community Preservation Committee (CPC) receives its’ funding from Brewster taxpayers through a 3% surcharge on local real estate taxes and a supplemental amount from state government as provided under the Massachusetts Community Preservation Act (CPA). The state government “match” comes from a small state wide fee on real estate transactions. Legislative Changes: CPA funds may now be used to rehabilitate recreational assets that were not created or purchased with CPA funds. CPA communities may also use other sources of municipal revenue to boost the amount of money qualifying for the state CPA Trust Fund match. $887,165 was available for CPA use for FY 2013 based on estimated local receipts of $713,211 and an estimated state match of $173,954. Based on Brewster Town Meeting decisions at the time the CPA program was adopted here, CPC funds are allocated as follows: — Open Space Acquisitions 50% — Historic Preservation 10% — Community Housing 10% — Historical, Housing and/or Recreation 30% And 5% of total funds can be used for administrative expenses. Since its inception, Brewster CPA funds have been used for 10 Open Space Acquisitions permanently protecting over 167.85 acres of open space; 18 Historic Preservation projects; 6 Community Housing projects that resulted in 5 newly created affordable units and permanent preservation of 108 existing affordable rental units and 3 home ownership units; and 2 Recreation projects. CPC grants come from applications presented to the committee. Each application is carefully reviewed and if approved submitted for consideration by Town Meeting voters. Any remaining CPC funds are rolled over to be available in the following years. There were 5 CPC applications approved in calendar year 2012 and together they show the range of possibilities that exist under the CPA. 1 & 2. Historic Preservation: $130,000 and $60,000 (two separate applications): The Brewster Natural Resources Department: The Stony Brook Lower Mill Pond Dam & Fish Passage Restoration Project 1. The Town is reconstructing the Historic dam at the Stony Brook Mill site. The existing earthen dam needed substantial repair. The fish passage weirs within the stream also needed to be refurbished, as well as construction of several additional units to promote and enhance fish passage. Most of the funds had already been received in the form of federal grants. The initial $130, 000 was the balance needed to complete the project. 2. Once permitted and publicly bid, it was clear that project construction estimates had been low. An additional $60,000 was requested, in order to complete the project. 189 3. Community Housing Preservation: $400,000: Preservation for Affordable Housing (POAH): Kings Landing Project This project is an existing 108 unit affordable, family rental housing community built in 1973 with easy access to jobs, services, and other amenities. The affordability restrictions would expire in 2017. The nonprofit POAH purchased the property in May 2012. CPA funds will be used towards $5.8 million in property upgrades planned for 2013 and will extend the affordability restriction in perpetuity. 4. Open Space Preservation: The Copelas Properties: $1,800,000 This application consisted of two parcels, one in East Brewster on Freemans Way (Naumkeag Acres @ $660,000) and one in West Brewster on Slough Road (Windrift Acres @ $1,140,000). Totaling 82 acres, these represented the largest parcels available for residential development in Brewster’s District of Critical Planning Concern/ZONE II that protects well-fields and had been a top priority for acquisition for many years. The Brewster Water Commissioners agreed to pay for the Freeman’s Way property, which also lies within the Pleasant Bay Watershed. The Slough Road property is within the Herring River and the Bass River Watersheds. Brewster’s nitrogen contributions to all of these watersheds may be subject to wastewater nitrogen loading requirements. MACC: Conservation Lifetime Achievement Award Ceremony Elizabeth Graham Taylor and SethWilkinson 190 5. Professional Services Article: Pleasant Bay Parcels: $30,000 The Town had the opportunity to purchase the only parcel of land in Brewster that fronts on Pleasant Bay. The parcel, potentially together with adjacent property in Orleans and Harwich could be used as a public park, with scenic views and access to the Bay. The vote was not to purchase these parcels, but to explore potential uses, State and Federal funding/grant sources, private funding, and develop a management plan. The initial review of this project indicated that such a project would not be feasible. The project was not pursued, no monies were spent. Town meeting also approved two other CPA related articles. 1. Community Preservation Committee Bylaw: When the Town originally adopted the Community Preservation Act, Brewster did not have a Historical Commission; therefore the Town assigned a member of the Old Kings Highway Historic District Commission to serve. Since the Historical Commission is now active, the Town modified its bylaw to comply with current statutes. 2. Historical Commission Membership: Brewster’s original Historical Commission limited membership to 5: the State CPC law indicates 3-7 members. The Historical Commission now may have3- 7 members. This year the Committee welcomed Donald Arthur, filling the empty Historical Commission seat. The Brewster Community Preservation Committee is dedicated to the important work of helping make Brewster a better place to live through support of appropriate projects in Historical Preservation, Community Housing, Recreation and Open Space. It is a pleasure to serve the town of Brewster. Elliot Carr, Chairman: Citizen Representative Paul Ruchinskas, Vice Chairman: Citizen Representative Elizabeth G. Taylor, Clerk: Planning Board Donald Arthur: Historic Commission Leonard Avery: Brewster Housing Authority Roland Bassett, Jr.: Recreation Commission Jeanne Boehm: Conservation Commission Martin Kamarck: Citizen Representative Terry Ryder: Citizen Representative 191 REPORT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE WATER PLANNING COMMITTEE In March, 2009 the Board of Selectmen (BOS), responding to concerns about current and future quality issues of water resources (groundwater, surface water, stormwater) created the Comprehensive Water Planning Committee (CWPC), charged to undertake a water planning process under the guidance of the Town Planner for the protection and restoration of these water resources. The planning process is to: •Develop a clear, concise set of goals and objectives for water quality management •Develop Integrated Water Resources Management Plan (IWRMP) per Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) policy •Conduct public hearings on the draft plan, revise the plan based upon public input •Submit IWRMP to BOS with action plan, timetable, cost estimates, funding sources •Develop outreach and public education programs CWPC continues work towards producing the IWRMP. Working with its consultant, Horsley Witten Group (HWG), CWPC produced the Draft Phase II Report, which is currently under review and will be published early in 2013. On publication, the report will be available to the public on the Town’s web site. CWPC also oversaw “Bridge” Projects that were completed during the year. Integrated Water Resources Management Plan (IWRMP) The Plan goal is to enable Brewster to continue to provide a desirable quality of life for year- round and seasonal residents while remaining a vibrant tourist community by addressing Brewster’s long-term waste-water and stormwater management needs through 2030. Bridge Projects Phase I identified immediate and long-term actions essential to completing the Plan. In 2012, CWPC addressed the immediate actions by completing three projects to bridge from Phase I to Phase II: 1. Data-Synthesis-GIS/Buildout Analysis (HWG) a. Linking the Water Department records with the Assessor’s database to allow for calculating the amount of wastewater generated town-wide b. Linking the Board of Health’s (BOH) septic system data and private well data (including test results) to the Town’s Permitting System to facilitate analysis c. Integrating data components with Town’s GIS, providing GIS training to Town staff d. Conducting a build-out analysis to estimate and describe the amount and the location of future development under current development regulations 2. Mill Ponds Complex (School of Marine Sciences and Technology-SMAST) a. Collecting data on Mill Ponds Complex to determine causes of degraded water quality. The final report of this project is expected very soon. 3. Analysis of Stormwater Catch Basins and Outfalls (Kleinfelder/SEA) a. Working with DPW to comply with state/federal Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) regulations, CWPC undertook to locate stormwater catch basins, outfalls, and natural drainage systems, linking this data to Assessor’s database/Town GIS System. Kleinfelder/ SEA conducted field inspections, and produced GIS data inspection reports and photos. 192 Phase II The Town contracted with HWG in 2011 to complete Phase II. Building on the analysis and findings of the Needs Assessment and the above results, the second phase: 1) Analyzes the extent of nitrogen reduction needed to protect and restore Pleasant Bay, with a focus on septic system management as the largest source of nitrogen to the Bay; 2) Evaluates current and future water quality conditions for the Town’s public supply wells and also determines if there is sufficient water available for potable uses based on future growth in Town; 3) Conducts a preliminary retrofit analysis to identify stormwater improvements that will provide water quality treatment and reduce impacts on receiving waters, and identifies improvements to the Town’s regulations to better manage stormwater across the Town; 4) Further evaluates fresh water pond impacts in Town, and makes recommendations for how the Town and pond shore residents can minimize phosphorus inputs to the ponds that have a direct impact on water quality. Major Phase II Recommendations (currently in draft form and under review at printing time) 1. The town should continue to protect open space in sensitive watersheds and in Zone IIs to the Town’s public water supply wells. This is perhaps the most important Phase II recommendation. 2. HWG identified a series of nitrogen management options to restore water quality within the Pleasant Bay watershed. These options will be evaluated in detail in Phase III and the most appropriate and cost effective management strategy will be recommended for implementation. The options to consider in Phase III are: a. The use of onsite, alternative nitrogen treatment systems. b. One or more cluster or neighborhood treatment systems. c. Additional fertilizer reductions at the Captains Golf course. d. The use of irrigation wells to capture nitrogen and return it to a beneficial use such as golf course irrigation. e. The use of permeable reactive barriers to treat nitrogen before it reaches Pleasant Bay. f. The use of alternative toilets, such as composting or urine diverting toilets to prevent nitrogen from entering groundwater through a septic system. 3. Water Supply a. Strengthen the Water Conservation By-law b. Strengthen the Zoning Bylaw provisions for drinking water quality protection 4. Stormwater a. Implement a Stormwater Management By-law to address illicit discharge detection and removal b. Encourage Low Impact Development through Zoning Bylaws and Subdivision Rules and Regulations 193 5. Fresh Water Ponds a. Require specific design standards for upgrades of septic systems within 300 feet of a pond shore b. Continue to identify and retrofit direct stormwater discharges to ponds from roads and parking lots c. Continue outreach to homeowners on proper fertilizer practices d. Create a pilot vegetated buffer adjacent to a pond Collaborations CWPC includes representatives from other Town Committees; the Board of Health, Planning Board and Conservation Commission, as well as citizens-at-large. The Town Planner attends all meetings as the Town staff representative. The Director of Natural Resources and the Conservation Administrator attend and contribute to CWPC meetings regularly. The BOS CWPC Liaison attends most meetings. The Finance Committee CWPC liaison also attends most meetings. The CWPC Chair presented a status report to both the BOS and Finance Committee. The Town Administrator attends CWPC meetings and is a key advisor on issues such as procurement, contracts and intra/inter-town relationships. Harwich and Dennis: Harwich, Dennis, and Brewster share important water resources, including Hinckley’s Pond, Herring River, and Bass River Watersheds, Long Pond and Wellhead Protection Areas (Zone IIs). CWPC is working towards potential future joint projects. Orleans: As Orleans prepares to implement its Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP), including discharges to Namskaket Marsh (which is largely in Brewster), the CWPC regularly communicates/meets with Orleans/Brewster officials about Brewster concerns. In addition, as part of their Development of Regional Impact (DRI) decision, the Cape Cod Commission has required that Brewster sit as a non-voting member on the Orleans Technical Review Committee. Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association (CCCGA): There have been concerns expressed regarding the possible impact of cranberry bogs on water resources. A representative of the CCCGA conducted a public presentation on cranberry bog operations in 2012. CWPC has regular communication the CCCGA. Pleasant Bay Alliance (PBA): CWPC members attend PBA presentations and continue mutual communication. HWG conducted the recent Fertilizer Study for the PBA. Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT): The President of BCT is a regular attendee at CWPC meetings. CWPC contributes to the BCT newsletter on CWPC objectives and project status. Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative (CCWPC): The Town Planner represents Brewster on this board. Membership John O’Reilly was appointed to fill a vacancy on Committee. Chair, Vice Chair, and Secretary were re-elected to their positions through June, 2013. Respectfully submitted, Lemuel Skidmore, Chair, Board of Health Joanne Hughes Patricia Hughes, Vice Chair Russell Schell David Bennett, Secretary Daniel Ryan Bruce Evans, Conservation Commission John O’Reilly Elizabeth G. Taylor, Planning Board 194 REPORT OF THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Brewster Conservation Commission has the challenging task of protecting the interests and functions of its wetland and coastal resources, while respecting the rights and interests of Brewster’s property owners. This is done through the implementation of both the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (enacted in 1972); and the town’s own Brewster Wetlands Protection By-law (enacted in 1984), which protects interests specific to Brewster’s coastal and pond environments. Both of these instruments lay out a review process for any work proposed within 100 feet of wetland resources. They establish performance standards designed to protect the important interests of the various types of wetland resources. Projects must meet these established performance standards for the project to be approved. Enforcement of our wetland regulations continues to be a priority and a challenge for the Commission. These cases require the Commission to spend significant time, energy and money to successfully enforce and resolve. The Commission has been very successful in its court cases, however, the goal of the Commission is to work with parties to cooperatively resolve enforcement issues and restore environmentally sensitive resource areas. Unfortunately, sometimes this is not possible. Strong and fair enforcement of our regulations is a necessary component of comprehensive wetland protection. These penalties address violations, and serve to remind property owners of their responsibility to be aware of, and to comply with the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act and Brewster Wetland Protection By- law. This spring, the Commission will be working on revisions to Brewster’s Wetland Protection By-law and its accompanying regulations to better address resource protection, especially with redevelopment projects. We plan to hold hearings to solicit public comment on the proposed revisions and present the suggested amendments to the fall town meeting. In addition to its regulatory authority, the Commission is responsible for the management of over 1200 acres of Town owned conservation lands, including the Punkhorn Parklands. The Commission continues to work towards development of a comprehensive land management policy to enhance active management of the open space under its care and custody. The Conservation Commission continues to acquire and protect land. The Commission accepted the resignations of long time member and Vice Chairman Donald Schall, who has served the board for more than twenty years. We wish to thank him for his expertise, dedication and gentility. Also, dedicated and hard working members Jeanne Boehm, Ken Rollins and Amy Usowski have had to resign due to other obligations. The Commission has since welcomed members William Klein, Michael Tobin, Jon Romano, and in November, welcomed back a former Commissioner, Paul Wightman. We would like to thank Jim Gallagher, Conservation Administrator, and Carol Spade, Conservation Administrative Assistant, for their excellent work and professionalism. Finally, we would like to thank our fellow Commissioners for their continued effort and commitment to protect our vital natural resources. 195 Respectfully submitted, Stephen McKenna, Chairman Hayley Winfield, Commission Member Secretary Members: Bruce Evans Vice Chairman William Klein Jon Romano Michael Tobin Paul Wightman Hayley Winfield Jeanne Wong Boehm Alternate Member Shana Brogan Alternate Member Conservation Department Figures for Town Report, 2012 January through December Notices of Intent 28 (Continuances not tallied) Requests to Amend Orders of Condition 5 Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation 1 Requests for Determination of Applicability 10 Requests for Certificates of Compliance 26 Requests for Extension Permits 15 Administrative Review Applications 55 Sand Fill projects numerous Pruning numerous Total 140 196 REPORT OF THE BREWSTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The Mission of the Brewster Chamber of Commerce (BCC) is to strengthen, promote and support the economic feasibility, cultural richness, environmental sensitivity and social needs of Brewster. The Chamber encourages the spirit of fair trade and good business practices. This mission is met through a variety of programs and events undertaken by the Chamber including but not limited to the Member Advertising Program, Brewster in Bloom, and the Lower Cape Home & Garden EXPO. The two part-time year–round professional staffers facilitate the work plan of the Board of Directors and assist Chamber volunteers. Two seasonal part-time staffers work for 14 weeks in the summer to assist in providing visitor services. Accomplishments: Since the end of FY2011, BCC’s staff has: • Reorganized the Information Center to more visibly display members’ marketing materials • Established long-term goals and a strategic work plan followed by board and staff • Held casual networking meetings in member businesses attracting 30 – 70 people to each one • Redone the organization’s website to be more member-centric and “blog-like” with complete directories of member businesses by sector as well as in alphabetical order • Upgraded the members’ advertising program to include a full sized 4-color magazine distributed through local inns, B&B’s, resorts, and campgrounds, as well as mailed to all Brewster households and part-time resident tax payers; and a compact visitors’ “quick guide” with town map and business directory. • Purchased new advertising in the Cape Cod Travel Guide and other publications exposing hundreds of thousands of people to Brewster as a Cape Cod destination. • Forged a working relationship with the Town’s Planning Department for business development • Established a simple inquiry tracking system providing simple data about how many people are served and how they get their information • Evaluated the business sector breakdown of the membership • Realized a net growth of +4% in membership • Streamlined member communication by using a secure email marketing service • Assumed administrative duties for Brewster in Bloom to provide central communication and messaging for volunteers, vendors, media representatives and the public. BCC also partners with the “Local 5” Chambers of Commerce (Brewster, Harwich, Chatham, Orleans and Eastham) to brand the Lower Cape as the destination visitors long for. Together, the five organizations co-host: •Business-2-business networking meetings two times per year attracting over 300 attendees • Lower Cape Home and Garden EXPO with more than 100 businesses and 3000 attendees • Collaborative workshops and seminars on topics that help businesses improve • The website www.lowercapechambers.org: a quick portal to the five towns and what each has to offer along with theme-specific tours that cross town borders • Co-op advertising to attract visitors to the Lower Cape region: “old Cape Cod.” BCC continues as a member of the Cape-wide LC3 (Local Cape Chambers Collaborative) that brings together 12 local chambers of commerce to share best practices, and stay connected to our State legislative delegation so that they are aware of issues that impact our local businesses. Three key issues identified as critical to all of our small businesses across the Cape include unfunded mandates that drive up the prices of permits and other business costs; connectivity of all kinds; and coordination and distribution of positive public information about Cape Cod. Respectfully Submitted, Kyle Hinkle, Executive Director 197 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL ON AGING The Brewster Council on Aging’s mission is to enhance the dignity and well-being of our Brewster Elders. The staff of the Council on Aging is available to link our seniors to many services and give them support. 39% of Brewster citizens are over the age of sixty, making the mission of the COA extremely important. We will continue to strive to provide exceptional care to our seniors by offering them the quality services and programming they deserve. The COA provides a wide selection of services in accordance with the needs of our seniors. Exercise programs, wellness instructions, daily lunches, Meals on Wheels, informational seminars, crafts, games, legal and health insurance counseling, financial planning and tax preparation are just a sample of what is offered. Our full-time bus driver brings people to and from the Senior Center for lunch and provides scheduled transportation for shopping in Orleans or going to Orleans’ Adult Daycare Center. On June 1, we had our Paine’s Creek Gifting Mural dedication. Many families generously make donations to the Brewster COA. Donations are made to honor a loved one that has passed on or to show appreciation for our support and services. In order to properly commemorate these donations, we asked Karen North Wells to paint a mural of Paine’s Creek in our first floor large room. The talented students of Nauset Regional High School’s Shop Class designed fishes and plaques to be engraved with the individual’s or group’s name on it. There are 3 donations levels: BRONZE = $500.+ SILVER = $1,000.+ GOLD = $5,000.+ Funds donated will be used solely for the benefit of the Senior Center. We have obtained a grant from the State Dept. of Public Health through the Suicide Prevention Grant to Cape Consortium for Older Adults at Risk. This grant, which we have named as “Let’s Get Out and Have Some Fun”, allows homebound seniors to participate in social events to avoid depression. Some of the trips have included a tour of Chatham with stops at the Fish Pier lighthouse and ice cream; shore dinner; thrift shop and coffee outing; animal rescue league visit with a stop at a local ice cream parlor; and, a Holiday Show with the Cape Cod Symphony. New friendships have been made and the seniors are truly grateful for the opportunity to experience these events. On a monthly basis, there are special activities to coincide with the seasons and holidays, along with informational seminars. We also coordinate special events with our elementary and high school students: Stony Brook Elementary School kindergarten students came to sing holiday songs and have a surprise visit from Santa, the Nauset Regional High School Honor Chorus came to sing holiday songs and the Nauset Regional High School Honor Students came to serve tea and sandwiches at our Holiday Tea. Our new part-time bus driver helps transport our seniors to these special events and programs. The COA building is used for many other activities; the Brewster Men’s Coffee Club, Outreach Assistance, pet grooming, office hours for our State Representative, Quilters, Women’s Forum, guest lecturers, and musical events. Game days are also popular at the Senior Center. They include BINGO, bridge game and lessons, chess, duplicate bridge, mah jongg and poker. Health care clinics, blood pressure and glucose testing are overseen by the Town Nurse in cooperation with the Visiting Nurse Association. The Nurse also conducts home visits to those who are homebound in support of their health needs. Complementing our Wellness 198 Program, we provide Tai Chi, Ballroom and Square Dancing, and “Young at Heart” exercise programs, as well as pedicare, massages and Reiki sessions. Swimming at Brewster Green’s pool at specific times are also available to our Brewster Seniors off season. In conjunction with the Recreation Department, we offer an exercise class, senior tennis at the Town’s tennis courts on Underpass Road and a walking group. In conjunction with the Police Department, we offer project lifesaver, reassurance program and the safe return program. A Sight Loss Group meets at the Brewster Ladies Library on a monthly basis. Volunteers are vital to provide vital services to the COA: banking assistance, computer classes, financial planning, legal help, S.H.I.N.E. representatives, community garden cleanup crew, food distribution, kitchen help, medical equipment shed maintenance, Meals on Wheels drivers, medical appointment transportation, newsletter assembling, and the Sea Captains Thrift Shop. Last year, volunteers provided 5,968 hours of service. Medical transportation, made possible by our Volunteers, is available to our Brewster seniors. Our drivers, at present, receive a small stipend made possible through an Elder Services grant for the use of private vehicles. We also provide a medical van to those who are wheelchair bound and must make trips to their medical appointments. We ask for a weeks notice to provide these services. A contribution is requested dependent upon the mileage involved. We thank ALL our Volunteers for their dedication on behalf of the COA. The Sea Captains Thrift Shop, located at the rear of the Town Hall, offers bargains on clothing, household items, jewelry and the like at reasonable prices. Your support of the Thrift Shop provides aid to some of the programs which otherwise could not be funded through the Town’s budget. The Shop’s hours are Tuesdays to Fridays from 10:00am - 2:00pm, March-December. The Brewster Council on Aging is most grateful to the financial support given by the Friends of Brewster Elders (F.O.B.E.). This organization supports many of our programs and subsidizes several “get together” lunches on various holidays, ice cream socials and dinner and game nights. It also provides entertainment to our seniors through off site trips. The Council on Aging stands ready to assist the Brewster Seniors in any reasonable way. Should you have a need for advice on senior services, please call the COA at 508-896-2737, Mondays through Fridays from 8:00am to 4:00pm. Respectfully submitted, Daryl Bladen, Chairman William Mageean Robert Deloye Suzanne Dean Denise Rego, Director Evelyn Donnelly Diane Richards Barbara Slagle Loretta Ruchinskas Sandra Twite 199 REPORT OF CROSBY MANSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Friends of Crosby Mansion continue improvements on both the interior and exterior of the Mansion. Thanks to our Preservation Grant the last section of our front arches and columns is about to be completed. Our volunteers have painted the lower exterior front including finish on all columns and arches that have been restored as well as the front siding and all windows on the lower front. They also completed outside painting on windows and siding on the south side of the building. Our most frustrating and costly interior repairs incurred through damage done by raccoons. With the help of experts we managed to eliminate them from the building but not before they had damaged areas that required the removal of large ceiling sections and painting. Other interior projects included painting of all second story floors and a building of a small office over our back workroom. We have been fortunate in our donations of period furniture. A nine foot, carved walnut Victorian bed now sits majestically in a bedroom, four marble topped carved tables adorn many rooms, and a lovely small sofa and chairs face the fireplace in the library. (We are still looking for a couple of large carpets for the upper bedrooms) The rooms now have a feeling of completeness. We also have started finishing the area off the billiard room which was the original entrance of the Mansion into the art gallery. We now use this space for our store at open houses where our items include…a CD of 103 captioned shots that take viewers on a tour of each room within the mansion, its outdoor property and the two rental cottages on the bay; a 12 picture monthly calendar; funky little “birdhouses” fashioned out of discarded balusters from out 1888 exterior woodwork; and we are working on producing a CD showing interior pictures of the Mansion around 1889. Improvements were made at each of our beach cottages. A new washer and dryer at the ranch and new mattress sets and carpeting at both. The Cape Tech students and faculty have progressed on building restrooms off our non- historic function room. We all had frustrating delays, but it is simply great to watch the kids cheerfully facing things like working with cast iron plumbing instead of the usual PVC. To watch them work together to overcome each hurdle reminds us that their learning experience is equally great for all of us. We end with thanks to our dedicated group of volunteers. The Friends tackle plastering, carpentry, painting, decorating, organizing, cleaning, etc. and are always at our four open houses every first and third Sundays in July and August to tell visitors the history of the Crosbys and of this remarkable building. The pride we take in our accomplishments to restore this irreplaceable part of our history, and the love we have restoring it to its grandeur, shows in all our remarkable volunteers. Ginny Locke: Chair, Crosby Mansion Advisory Com. / Coordinator for FOCM Brian Locke: President, Friends of Crosby Mansion 200 The Brewster Cultural Council, made up of volunteers appointed by the Brewster Selectmen, makes decisions on how to award the money granted to it by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. The local council reviews two types of applications: standard LCC applications, which may include a broad range of cultural activities that will serve local cultural needs, and PASS applications, which are used to request money for K-12 students’ field trips to cultural performances and institutions that appear on the PASS roster. There are currently 329 local cultural councils in Massachusetts that form an extensive grassroots system of public support for community cultural programs. For 2012, the Brewster Cultural Council received $3850 to award for cultural programs. The Council received 15 LCC applications and approved 12. Successful applicant projects included: Brewster PTO, Cape Cod Opera school outreach program, Eventide Arts’ Festival, Cape Museum of Art “ARTWORK/Art Internships,” the Meeting House Chamber Music Festival’s Summer Chamber Music Series including two performances in Brewster, The Academy of Performing Arts performances in the schools, Cultural Center of Cape Cod ALL WRITE program, Kim Torres’ “Science & Nature Program” for young children, Mass Audubon programs in the Brewster Ladies Library, Nauset Regional Middle School, and the Arts and Alzheimer’s Initiative of the Cape Cod Alzheimer’s Services. In addition, the Council sponsored and organized the fifth Brewster “Literary Evening,” readings by Brewster writers in October, 2012 and our annual Art Exhibit of Brewster Artists in March, 2012, both at the Brewster Ladies’ Library The Brewster Cultural Council generally holds its meetings on Mondays, 4:00 p.m. at the Brewster Ladies Library. Agendas are posted at Town Hall. We welcome future grant applications and input to improve the quality of life for all Brewster residents. The Brewster Cultural Council wishes to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Town Administrator and staff, Brewster Ladies Library and the people of Brewster for their support. Under state law, members of the Council may serve for two consecutive terms of three years. The Council thanks Claire Gradone and Milton Teichman for their many years of service and for their valuable contributions to the work of the Council. Respectfully submitted, Ralph Marotti - Chairperson Susan Daly – Secretary Joan Swaluk– Treasurer Maureen Callahan Benton Jones Sharon Leder Nancy Phillips REPORT OF THE CULTURAL COUNCIL 201 REPORT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL COMMITTEE The Brewster Elementary School District is responsible for providing a quality education for all students from kindergarten through fifth grade. The Stony Brook Elementary School houses kindergarten through grade two as well as two classrooms for the Integrated Preschool Program and an all-day YMCA sanctioned childcare which is housed in 5 empty classrooms. The Integrated Preschool also includes community friends which are integrated with the children with special needs. There was one child that we had to send out of district to get the program that the child needed. The revenue generated from the new YMCA program will be spent on the two schools and their needs for maintaining the integrity of the buildings. The Eddy Elementary School houses children in grades three through five and shares space with the Recreation Department. In addition, many non-profit organizations benefit from being able to utilize the space in the elementary schools when children are not in school, including the Brewster Band, First Parish Brewster Unitarian Universalist Church, Nauset Youth Alliance, Brewster Little League, the Cub Scouts, the Brewster Whitecaps, the Brewster Bayside Skippers, and other Recreation programs. The School Committee recognizes that it is our professional educators, administrators, and support staff who help inspire students to learn and grow. The children of Brewster have excelled in many areas thanks to the competence and dedication of these professionals, of whom 100% are highly qualified. The Eddy Elementary School was recognized as a “Very High” achieving school in both English Language Arts and Math based on MCAS performance, and Data Teams have been formed to thoroughly analyze student work in order to continue improving. All students with special needs were able to be integrated into the schools this year, thanks to the development of the “I CAN” (Individualized Comprehensive Adaptive Needs) Program. Flexible groupings were maintained to enhance math instruction in grades 3, 4, and 5, and the SEA Program (Student Enrichment and Acceleration) was enhanced to challenge all the students along with the high achieving student. Besides regular classroom education, it is very important to get and keep kids active. The School Committee has added a gym program to its’ curriculum which is a golf program. The school committee was approached by Susan Ballantine about getting The First Tee of Massachusetts into the two schools to teach the kids the game of golf and all of the values that the game of golf teaches. This was looked at by the committee and deemed worthy but was also very costly. With the help of the Captains Golf Course, The Men’s Golf Club and both the 18 and 9 Hole Women’s’ Association and their kind donations, we were able to cover most of the cost. The Cape Cod National Golf Course came through for the schools and covered the balance of the cost of the program with a donation to allow us to teach the game of golf to our kids. The Stony Brook Elementary School served as a site for a research project piloting the Tools of the Mind curriculum in its kindergarten classrooms this year. Stony Brook implemented the math curriculum scope and sequence of the new Nauset Mathematics Pacing Guide and continued to employ tiered literacy and mathematics interventions in order to identify learning problems, recognize causes, and create solutions in order to help children perform on grade level. In addition, enrichment opportunities were provided for students to work at their individual ability level. Stony Brook continued to carry out its Character Education program that promotes traits and habits necessary to ensure the future fabric of our society. While the focus of any school system should always be on its children, maintenance of both buildings cannot be ignored. The School Committee is grateful that the Town of Brewster has 202 put into motion a committee to get costs for replacing the roof at the Eddy Elementary School and also replacement of the windows at the Stony Brook School. Each of the schools continues to improve their facilities by spending money approved at town meetings through the Capital Article Spending Plan and a number of these projects will be completed in the coming couple of years. Stony Brook will be looking at replacing the old stage curtains, getting new drinking fountains and some painting done. The School committee and the town recognize the need to maintain all its buildings as assets of the town and have funded regular and extraordinary maintenance needs of the elementary schools. The school committee is looking at possible financial help from the Massachusetts School Building Assistance Committee to fund the two big projects that will be happening over the course of the next two years. The playground at the Eddy School, which is used by the schools, after-school programs, summer camps, and Brewster children and visitors all year long, is also in need of replacement and expansion. The School Committee has formed a Playground Subcommittee to assess the needs of the playgrounds at the Brewster elementary schools; to research funding sources for building, repairing, or expanding playgrounds; and to organize designs, plans, and funding. Although the Brewster Elementary Schools are not as full as they were in the 1990’s, enrollment has hovered around 500 students from pre-school through fifth grade for the past eight years, and enrollment projections anticipate a similar number of students for the next ten years. Given this enrollment, the Brewster Schools are not able to fit all students into one school building without the need to expand. Please explore the Nauset Regional Schools website at www.nausetschools.org for updated information about our schools.

Monthly group meetings attended by Department heads and key Town employees who are trained to work and respond to emergencies within a common Incident Management System are held throughout the year to discuss current emergency management issues, potential community risks, and preventative strategies designed to maintain a high level of readiness for any emergency incident, severe weather event, public health issue or disaster that may occur within our community. The group also works cooperatively and shares resources with the Cape Code Regional Planning Committee, the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, and the Barnstable County Regional Emergency Planning Committee on a daily basis to maintain a continuous level of community response readiness. One of the highlights of 2012 was the hosting of a dynamic, new training program involving a Table Top exercise moderated by an outside emergency planning company. The session involved the real time management of multiple emergency events occurring within Town over a short period of time. During the drill attending LEPC members and other first response personnel were challenged to develop and implement several emergency based operational strategies and tactics in order to mitigate the potential community emergencies presented in the program. Based on the success of this exceptional interactive training session plans are being developed to make this an annual event for the emergency response group. Additionally, during the year the Office of Emergency Management received an EMPG Grant from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that allowed the group to purchase ten portable radios for use on the new Town wide 400 megahertz radio system. With this purchase the Emergency Operations Center and first responders from the LEPC group are now able to communicate directly with other Town departments and key individuals on a daily basis and more importantly during emergency events. Some other highlights of the committee’s efforts in 2012 include: •Participated in the Health Departments annual flu clinic. •Activated the local emergency operations center during Hurricane Sandy. •Received reimbursement in the amount of $38,000 from FEMA for Town wide expenses incurred during Hurricane Irene. •Supervised the management of the Eastern Equine Encephalitis emergency at Nickerson State Park. •Participated in Beautify Brewster Day Local Emergency Planning Committee Members Charles Sumner Richard Koch Robert Moran Robert Bersin Paul Anderson Nancy Ice Sue Leven Denise Rego Lisa Souve Don LaBonte Chris Miller Kathy Cockcroft Sherrie McCullough Victor Staley Tom Thatcher 204 REPORT OF THE ENERGY COMMITTEE Brewster Community Solar Garden, the first project of its kind in state, went on line in early 2012 through collaborative project involving the Town of Brewster, My Generation Energy, and local electric customers. The Town had solicited proposals for installations on town land and facilities and My Generation submitted a creative proposal to lease Town land for up to 25 years and develop a ground-mounted solar PV installation, which would be owned cooperatively and generate net-metering credit for investors to apply against their individual residential electric bills. The project gives consumers the opportunity to own a share in a larger PV installation and to apply the solar electricity to an off-site local electric account. As a member of the Cape and Vineyard Electrical Cooperative, the Town continues to pursue electricity independence by purchasing solar-generated power from PV installations developed on Town-owned sites. CVEC assisted the Town by soliciting proposals and contracting with developers for PV installations on the roofs of the Town’s two elementary schools. In 2010 installations of 374 panels, with generating capacity of 101 kW each were installed on the Stony Brook and Eddy Schools. The electricity from these panels saves the schools approximately $12,000 each year and will continue to off-set the school’s loads utilizing net- metered solar power. In coordination with Energy Efficiency programs sponsored by the Cape Light Compact (CLC), the Town has made strides to reduce electrical energy consumption. Utilizing the resources of the CLC, and availing ourselves of free energy audits, the BEC has facilitated compact florescent light (CFL) bulb, occupancy sensors, switches, and programmable thermostat replacements. CLC sponsored retrofits of Town Water Supply and irrigation pumps with higher efficiency Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) units. The Town has made less progress improving the efficiency of the Town’s use of heating fuel usage. This is primarily because 205 of the need to upgrade and replace old outdated heating plants. Replacement of heating systems requires long-term capital planning and the funding of efficiency studies in the process. The BEC intends to become more active in the Capital Planning process to ensure that energy efficiency savings are estimated and calculated into construction and finance decisions. BEC will continue to identify and pursue opportunities for energy conservation and efficiency, by taking advantage of grant and rebate offered through the CLC. The BEC also hopes to continue to assist in the analysis of equipment replacements and upgrades to HVAC systems for additional energy savings. Through the monitoring efforts of our member, Rich Wolf, the BEC has been tracking the Town’s energy usage for the past 5 years. While the Town’s overall electricity consumption last year (2012) was up 3.2% from that of 2011, it should be noted that the Town’s electric consumption has decreased by 220,861 kW (or 8%) since 2008. Chart 2 shows notable savings of a 42% reduction in electric usage at the Town Hall between 2007 and 2012 and a 26% reduction by the Natural Resources Department for the same period. The Town continues to pursue an ambitious goal of installing enough solar on Town-owned sites to generate solar electricity to offset the Town’s entire Municipal load (the electricity usage for all Town-operated facilities with electric accounts). Working with the Cape and Vineyard Electrical Cooperative (CVEC) the Town has negotiated for private contractors to develop solar installations on the Town’s capped landfill, and at the Commerce Park, of 1.5 and 4 MWs, respectively. The solar electricity generated by these arrays will be sold to NSTAR and the green energy sold back to CVEC customers at a reduced rate. In addition, these installations will generate lease payments to the Town for the 25-year life of the projects. The 206 Landfill installation is anticipated to begin in the Spring of 2013, coming on line before the end of the Summer. In terms of public outreach and awareness, BEC sponsored the first of what hopefully will be an annual “Brewster Goes Green” event, featuring educational presentations from Eddy School students, BEC members, and local businesses. In keeping with the BEC’s goal to assist local residents in saving energy and money by taking advantage of CLC and National Grid energy audits and other incentive programs, the Town’s Council on Aging and Recreation Departments participated in a competition to enroll Brewster households for free CLC energy audits. The two departments enrolled 27 families and were awarded a prize of $1,350 to be applied towards Council on Aging programming. BEC devoted significant time to discussing issues/conflicts relating to CLC/CVEC/town and residential/commercial/industrial/municipal consumers. BEC agreed to assume the role of “Brewster Energy Advocate, acting as a source of expertise and information to help the town and its constituents address myriad energy issues in collaboration with the Town’s Administration and its citizens”. Respectfully Submitted, Edward Swiniarski, Chair Jillian Douglass, Secretary Richard Wolf William Barnstead Christopher Powicki Charles Hanson 207 REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE The Finance Committee consists of nine members appointed from citizens of Brewster by the Town Moderator. Each member serves a three year term and these terms are staggered so that only three members are appointed per year. The Finance committee meets at least once per month and usually weekly during the town budget review process as well as the review of the Town meeting warrants. The Finance Committee’s responsibility is to review all business to come before the Town meetings and to recommend to the voting taxpayers their best guidance for their action at town meeting. The Finance Committee is independent of the elected and appointed administrators of the Town. Committee members also attend other town boards’ meetings, as liaisons, and spend significant personal time reviewing and challenging department budgets. The Finance Committee also has control of the Reserve Fund of $ 95,000 as an emergency relief fund for all Town departments that may experience an unforeseen and unexpected shortfall in their operating budget. In the spring of 2012 the voters approved a property tax override for $199,000 for the hiring of additional Police and Fire personnel. The Finance Committee initiated, with the support of the Board of Selectmen and the Town administrator, an electronic budgetary review process that will make all the documents we review available to the public through the internet. This will reduce staff time to copy and update paper budgets and make the sharing of information less cumbersome and confusing. The Finance Committee would like to acknowledge the contributions of three members who moved on this year. Mr. Howard Bender, who has retired to an out of state home closer to family and Ms. Lisa Gerrish and Mr. Larry Greeley. These members combined, dedicated 19 years of service to the taxpayers and voters of the Town. We extend our many thanks and well wishes for their future. The Finance Committee would also acknowledge the assistance of department heads, the Town administrator, the Finance director and all the staff in aiding the Committee in its duties. Our special thanks to our recording secretary, Marilyn Mooers. Lastly, the Finance committee welcomes any and all interested in attending our meetings on Wednesdays at 6pm in town hall, the schedule is available on the Town’s website as well as the Towns’ TV channel 18 Michael Fitzgerald Chair Dan Guertin Su Ballantine Dennis Hanson Vice Chair Nate Pettengill Greg Levasseur Clerk Jim O’Leary Herb Montgomery Ben deRuyter 208 The Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Residents of the Town of Brewster, The members of our department would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Board of Selectmen, Town Staff, and the residents of our community for the support provided to our organization throughout 2012. In late 2011, we completed an internal assessment of the department’s administrative and operational effectiveness as it relates to the services we deliver to the community. Based on this assessment we developed and submitted a five year strategic plan in early 2012 that will serve as our foundation to improved organizational excellence. Within the first full year of this plan we were able to initiate and/or complete several major objectives including improving our ISO rating, hiring two additional full time staff members, and restructuring the departments table of organization. Future efforts to advance the department and enhance our ability to provide prompt and efficient services will be guided by this document. For those residents interested in reviewing the plan it is available by visiting our website at brewsterfire.com. Between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 the Brewster Fire & Rescue Department responded to a total of 2682 requests for assistance. Of this total 810 were fire related incidents and 1872 were EMS rescue responses. A general breakdown of fire incidents is as follows: Fire (Building, Brush, Vehicle, Chimney) 60 Overpressure, Explosion 6 Hazardous Condition (Electrical, Gas leak, Power line down) 71 Service Call (Public assist, Police assist, Water leak) 122 Good Intent Call (Controlled burning, Smoke scare) 88 False Alarm (Sprinkler activation, Alarm malfunction) 259 Motor Vehicle Crash 100 Severe Weather (Lightning strike, Wind storm) 8 Special Incident (Walk in report of fire, Cover response) 5 Mutual Aid (Fire & EMS) Mutual Aid Given 118 Mutual Aid Received 128 Fire Prevention & Inspection The following breakdown identifies the various tasks completed by the fire prevention bureau during 2012. Oil Burner Permits 102 Oil Burner Inspections 97 Smoke Detector Permits 328 Smoke Detector Inspections 320 Plan Reviews 10 Tank Removals 17 Fire Prevention Inspections 109 Open Burning Permits 630 Miscellaneous Permits 23 REPORT OF THE FIRE & RESCUE DEPARTMENT 209 Report of the Oil Spill Coordinator Between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012, the Brewster Fire & Rescue Department responded to hazardous material incidents in the Town of Brewster. These responses included motor vehicle accidents, natural gas leaks, leaking vehicle tanks, chemical spills, refrigerant leaks, and oil leaks. Hazardous Material Response 19 Underground Tank Removals 2 Report of the EMS Division Between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 the Brewster Fire & Rescue Department responded to 2052 requests for EMS assistance. The breakdown of EMS incidents is as follows: Emergency Care Provided 1872 Transport to Cape Cod Hospital 1485 Day of Week Sunday (155) Monday (244) Tuesday (197) Wednesday (243) Thursday (226) Friday (196) Saturday (214) Time of Day 8:00 a.m. to 11:59 (359) 12:00 p.m. to 5:59 (367) 6:00 p.m. to 11:59 (229) 12:00 a.m. to 7:59 (510) 210 In 2012, the EMS division continued to follow our six year ambulance replacement program through the purchase of a new ambulance. Considerable savings (approx $60,000) was achieved through the refurbishment and placement of the patient carrying or “box” portion of the old ambulance onto a new cab & chassis. Three new “power” stretchers were purchased through a generous donation and placed into service. These units will significantly reduce the amount of patient lifting that is required at an EMS response and in direct correlation reduce the potential for lifting injuries to our staff. The division also negotiated a new contract with our ambulance billing service that keeps the fees paid to the vendor for the service at the prior rate for the next three years. Our EMS officer continued to attend monthly training and operation meetings sponsored by our regional medical director Cape & Islands Emergency Medical Services and a revitalized training program that encompassed bringing in out-of-state instructors was adopted. In addition, in an effort to improve the availability of training for our personnel and make it easier to maintain their certifications we partnered with a State approved private training company that offers EMT refresher training via an on-line forum.

During 2012 our organization completed several identified goals including; •Purchased replacement ambulance •Developed comprehensive Rules & Regulations •Restructured the table of organization for increased efficiency •Promoted a new Fire Prevention Captain •Hosted Fire Department Open House and Community CPR Events •Reduced ISO Rating •Finalized purchase of new personal protective equipment for fire suppression staff •Hired two new full time FF/Paramedics •Supervised purchase and installation of Town wide radio communication system •Hosted probationary firefighter class for 10 potential new call employees •Assisted the Town in the implementation of a revised Fire House Building Needs and Assessment committee •Assisted in the development of the Barnstable County Technical Rescue team In closing, our personnel would like to extend our appreciation to the Brewster Police Department, Department of Public Works, and all other Town departments for the invaluable daily assistance, cooperation, and support received by our organization throughout the year. Respectfully submitted, Chief of Department Robert Moran 212 REPORT OF THE GOLF COMMISSION & GOLF DEPARTMENT The Captains Golf Course had another successful golf season in 2012. Our overall revenues continued to be strong, virtually equaling our 2011 performance, but significantly outpacing the revenues generated in 2010. This has been accomplished by identifying our high demand times and pricing them accordingly, adjusting our member/guest tee time ratio recognizing our declining membership, maximizing our hours of operation during high demand times and creating a more equitable tiered annual fee player structure. The strong financial performance is also a testament to the great job the grounds crew has done in maintaining the best playing conditions of any public course on Cape Cod and the superior customer service provided by our staff. In addition to contributing over $6M to the Town’s General Fund since the inception of the golf course in 1985, the Captains Golf Course continues to provide many valuable benefits to the Town of Brewster that are not easily quantified, but cannot be understated. These include: the positive draw for the Brewster real estate market and business community; the availability of affordable recreation provided to Brewster residents; the support provided to charitable endeavors; the employment opportunities provided to area residents that support local businesses; as well as being a good steward of the land and reducing development. Over the years, the Captains Golf Course has been an active supporter of fundraising efforts associated with the Lower Cape Outreach Council, Brewster Elementary Schools, Nauset Regional Schools, Brewster Police Relief Association, Brewster Ladies Library, Cape Cod Regional Technical High School, Cape Cod Hospital, and many more. Over the past ten years the charitable events held at the Captains Golf Course have netted over $1,500,000 for their respective organizations. We also provide free use of the course for both the boys and girls Nauset High School golf teams during their seasons and offer a free Junior Golf Day in August to promote junior golf. Although the Captains Golf Course continues to generate an operating profit, there was a shortfall after debt service principal payments for FY2012. The biggest financial challenge that the Captains Golf Course faces is the large annual debt service for which it is responsible. In FY 2012 the annual debt service was $943,450. This is the principal and interest charge for the $10M bond to construct the additional 18 holes, the $800,000 bond for an irrigation upgrade and the $300,000 course improvement project undertaken several years ago and financed by the Town. The $800,000 irrigation bond and the course improvement loan are scheduled to be paid off in FY2014, thus reducing our annual debt service costs by approximately $162,000 at that time. The $10M bond, with annual debt service of about $785,000, is scheduled to be paid off in FY2020. In 2012, the Golf Department took many steps to address operational improvements suggested in the independent operational review of the golf operation completed in January 2012. Some of these include hiring a professional advertising agency to more effectively market and promote the Captains Golf Course; renegotiate our credit card processing contract; create an annual fee player tiered structure; reallocated member block times; utilize equipment leasing options as opposed to purchasing; participate in inter-municipal agreements with area towns to share equipment; and better utilize the food and beverage operation. In regard to this last item, the Captains Golf Course contracted with the Back 9 Café as the new food and beverage concessionaire. They increased hours of operation and expanded menus to attract non-golf daily traffic and functions. We have been very pleased with The Back 9 Café’s performance and believe that they have improved exposure of the Captains Golf Course to the community. 213 The Captains Golf Course has always enjoyed the support of the Brewster Selectmen and all of its departments and committees as well as the Brewster community as a whole. We feel it is important to take a long range view of the Captains Golf Course with all of the above factors in mind, so that we can continue to provide a best in class golf facility for the Town of Brewster.

Unfortunately we still see very much in evidence the same problems; alcohol, drugs, spousal abuse, financial shortfalls, mental health problems and the threat of and/or homelessness. It is with great regret we have lost the wise counsel of our committee founder Doris Franzago who has moved out of town to an assisted living facility. Two long time committee friends Vice Chairman Bill Mageean and his wife Patricia have also resigned due to personal circumstances, effective 12/31/2012, They will be missed. We welcome a new member to our committee, Claire Gradone, a long time volunteer worker for the town, Respectfully submitted for the Committee: George E. Pettengill, Chairman Vivian Cafarella Claire Gradone Deborah Blackman Jacobs Elizabeth Jayes Patricia Mageean William Mageean Denise Rego, Secretary 216 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH The Role of the Board of Health: The Brewster Board of Health is composed of five elected members who carry out duties related to Massachusetts health laws and regulations. The State defines the role of local boards of health as “Local boards of health in Massachusetts are required by state and local laws and regulations to perform many critical duties related to the protection of public health. These duties cover a wide range of public health control and prevention activities including: disease surveillance; the promotion of sanitary conditions in housing, recreational facilities, and food establishments; elimination of nuisances; the protection of the environment; and numerous other responsibilities. These requirements reflect the principle that many critical health problems are best handled by local officials familiar with local conditions.” Board Members: In 2012, the Chair was re-elected to another term. In September Dr Jose Fernandez resigned from his position to care for family members. We are grateful for his service. The Board of Selectmen and the Board of Health appointed Annie Sherwood RN, to fill the vacant seat until the next town election in 2013. Mrs. Sherwood was sworn in and began her service on the Board in December. Board Meetings: Board of Health meetings are held the first and third Tuesdays of each month and are open to the public. Video archives and minutes of the meetings are available on the Town website. Member’s Additional Duties: The Board of Health has representatives on the following committees: •The Water Quality Review Committee: Joanne Hughes and Annie Sherwood (alternate) •Comprehensive Water Planning Committee: Lem Skidmore •Recycling Commission: Dr. Mary Chaffee Board Activities •The Board of Health evaluated over twenty-three applications for variances to local and State Title 5 septic system codes in 2012. •The Board reviewed and approved 8 new applications for food service permits. •This Board launched a review of existing town health regulations with a goal of updating and amending them where necessary. Regulations on tobacco sales, smoking in the workplace and public places, and granting variances to Title 5 regulations were updated after public hearings. Updating regulations will continue in 2013. •The Board of Health received numerous reports of problems related to dogs running off-leash and not in control at Drummer Boy Park. When the Town’s Dog Committee was unable to find a solution, the Board of Health was compelled by their state mandate to address the health and safety issues at the park. A public hearing on proposed regulations was held January 20. A regulation banning dogs, and eliminating health risks at Drummer Boy Park including the risk of dog bite, the risk on unintended contact between uncontrolled dogs and other park users, the risk of contact with dog fecal matter, and other problems, was passed in March. Following the ban, there were no further complaints of dog assaults on the playground or of excrement in the picnic area, around the bandstand, or on the walkways. 217 A part-time resident filed a civil complaint contending the Board of Health ban should be overturned. On December 19, 2012 a Barnstable Superior Court judge overturned the Board of Health ban because it applied only to Drummer Boy Park and not to all public parks in Brewster. On January 7, 2013 the Board of Selectmen voted to appeal the judgment and request a stay of the overturning of the ban. •In February, representatives of engineering firms hired to do the operation and maintenance for the Town’s large on-site septic treatment plants appeared before the board to give their annual report. All were operating within the parameters of their permits. •Mary Devlin RN, VNA of Cape Cod, Public Health & Wellness, made a presentation to Board titled “Senior Depression and Suicide Prevention.” Her efforts are appreciated. •Stephanie Kelly, a representative of the Good Samaritans of Cape Cod and the Islands, made a very informative presentation to the board regarding the work of their volunteers. The board members expressed their gratitude to her. •Dr. Mary Chaffee, the Board’s representative to the Recycling Commission, provided the Board with several updates on the progress of the proposed “Pay as You Throw” program. •The Health Department and the Board of Health addressed two hoarding situations in private residences. When health violations could not be rectified at one residence after many months, the Board voted to deem it unfit for human habitation. Efforts are underway to bring both homes into compliance with state and local regulations to afford their inhabitants a healthy and safe living environment. The assistance of the Cape Cod Hoarding Task Force for their referrals and support was appreciated. •The Board is grateful for the persistence, compassion and professionalism demonstrated by the Health Director, Nancy Ellis Ice, and the Assistant Health Director, Sherrie McCullough, in handling many complex public health situations. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Tammi Mason, Senior Department Assistant, for her dedication, organization and efficiency both in the department and at the Board meetings.

The Emergency Operation Plan was drilled again this year at the annual flu clinic. The Health Department also participated in a table top exercise at the Water Department. Call down drills were conducted to be better prepared for an emergency. Communication and working together with many town departments went well again this year. Monthly meetings of the Cape & Islands Health Agents Coalition are attended to coordinate emergency planning with all the towns in the coalition. Inspections and reports, budget reviews, health planning, new regulations and health administration continue to be time consuming.

Influenza clinics were held in the fall of 2012 with a total of 250 immunizations. As in previous years, I have continued to work towards better public health standards for the Town through involvement in meetings, seminars, etc. sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Massachusetts Environmental Health Association and the Massachusetts health Officers’ Association. I also serve on such committees/boards as: the Brewster Water Quality Review Committee, the Local Emergency Planning Committee, Cape & Islands Health Agent’s Coalition, Staff Review, Rabies Task Force of Cape Cod and the Cape Cod Regional Tobacco Control Advisory Panel. I would also like to acknowledge the services of the Barnstable County Health and Environmental Department whose staff continues to provide technical expertise and extensive laboratory analyses at significant cost savings to the Town. In addition, they provided supplemental inspection services for the summer of 2012. I extend a special thanks to the Board of Health; my Assistant Sherrie McCullough; Tammi Mason, Senior Department Assistant and the Natural Resource Department. My appreciation is also extended to Town Counsel, Attorney Sarah Turano Flores, for her continued advice, guidance and support. Respectfully Submitted, Nancy Ellis Ice, CHO, RS Health Director 220 REPORT OF THE BREWSTER HISTORICAL COMMISSION The Brewster Historical Commission (local representative of the Massachusetts Historical Commission) appraises historical preservation projects seeking Community Preservation Act grants. The only such project discussed and approved by the BHC in 2012 was a request for funds to replace the dam controlling water flow to the historic grist mill in West Brewster. Ellen St. Sure, Chair Brewster Historical Commission 221 REPORT OF OLD KING’S HIGHWAY HISTORIC DISTRICT The Old King’s Highway Regional Historic District was established under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 470, Acts of 1973 as amended December 24, 1975. The Old King’s Highway Regional Historic District was created to preserve and protect the exterior appearance of buildings, settings and places compatible with the historic, cultural and aesthetic tradition of Cape Cod. Historic District Committee meetings are generally held at 7:30 pm on the first and third Monday of each month. Applications and guidelines are available at the Historic District Committee’s office located within the Building Department or at the Town of Brewster’s website. In 2012 the Committee received $4,645 in fees and processed a total of 219 applications as described below: Over the past year Patricia McLoud and Roy Robinson retired from the committee. Patricia McLoud retired with just under 10 years on the committee after moving from her long time McLoud House residence. Pat’s forthrightness, expertise and sense of humor will be missed. Roy had recently served as an alternate after 20 plus years as a fulltime committee member. Roy firmly guided the committee with insight and knowledge of Brewster history. The Town of Brewster thanks Mrs. McLoud and Mr. Robinson for many years of volunteering on the Historic District Committee. Don Arthur was elected to the committee upon moving to Brewster fulltime. The Committee wishes to express its appreciation to the residents and merchants of the Town of Brewster for their cooperation in complying with the Historic District guidelines. We would also like to thank the Town employees, particularly the Building Department, for their assistance. Respectfully submitted, John Halvorson, Chairman Brian Warburton Patricia Busch Don Arthur Larry Houghton Patricia McLoud (retired) Applications 2010 2011 2012 Certificate of Appropriateness 65 69 74 Certificate of Exemption 89 86 96 Certificate of Amendment 25 16 25 Certificate of Demolition 5 5 3 Sign Certificate of Appropriateness 15 16 21 Total 199 192 219 222 REPORT OF THE BREWSTER HOUSING AUTHORITY The 2012 fiscal year has been one of challenges and accomplishments for the Brewster Housing Authority. Despite financial cut-backs on the state and federal level, the BHA has once again succeeded in its efforts to provide decent, safe, and affordable housing for its residents. The improvements at Huckleberry Lane are well under way but not yet completed due to the extent of the required repairs. A very competent contractor was hired and has done nice work on the siding. We anticipate the completion of these renovations. The new Formula Funding from the Department of Housing & Community Development provides a set amount of money to use as the housing authority sees fit. The BHA has established and prioritized a list of improvements to be completed with these funds. These include a handicapped door opener and furnace replacement at Frederick Court and new carpeting. These projects are already in progress. The project with the Latham School, named Adele Court and the Brewster Woods development are on hold due to funding issues. We do hope that we can see both through to completion and provide much needed housing units. The Executive Director has submitted an application to the Community Preservation Committee requesting funding for generators to be installed at our properties. This will be a very beneficial addition for safety in the event of power outages. This next year will see another challenge as there is a movement to regionalize local housing authorities under the management of regional non-profit housing agencies. There is great concern that the knowledge of and concern for housing issues at a community level, not to mention jobs, will be lost if this happens. We will need to follow this situation closely as it proceeds. Once again great appreciation is extended to the members of the Brewster Housing Authority staff for their tireless efforts on behalf of the residents they serve. They are devoted to the work of the BHA and we thank them for their dedication. As Chairman, I also wish to thank the other members of the Board of Commissioners for their service to the Authority during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Robert Hooper Chairman 223 REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS To the Board of Health and the Citizens of Brewster: As the appointed Animal Inspector of Barns it is my responsibility to conduct the Annual Animal Census for the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources. I had the pleasure of visiting the 57 permitted locations in Town where animals are kept in order to observe the animal’s environment, screen for signs of illness, and to count every animal. This information is critical to pinpointing locations of animals on computer-generated maps of towns and counties to assist in planning any disease control or natural disaster response. The Animal Census conducted this Fall revealed the following: •Alpaca 14 •Cattle 3 •Chicken 761 •Donkey 5 •Goat 41 •Game Bird 80 •Horse 228 •Pigeon 17 •Pony 17 •Rabbit 19 •Sheep 38 •Swine 14 •Turkey 150 •Waterfowl 88 Thanks to the efforts of the USDA and the Cape Cod Rabies Task Force the 2012 Spring and Fall Oral Rabies Vaccination Program was successfully completed in efforts to continue to protect our community against the raccoon rabies epidemic. I would like to thank Tammi Mason, Senior Department Assistant and James Gallagher, Conservation Administrator for helping me complete the baiting process. I would also like to thank Lynda Brogden Burns, Animal Control Officer and the Brewster Police Department for their continued support. Respectfully submitted, Sherrie McCullough, Animal Inspector of Barns 224 REPORT OF THE INSURANCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE This year the Insurance Advisory Committee met to make proposals to the PEC (Public Employee Committee) as to how the Brewster town employees would receive mitigation funds from the 25% of projected premium cost savings for the first year of plan design changes. The amount was $104,193 and the Board of Selectmen agreed to increase the amount to $111,319. This amount would allow all Brewster employees who participate in the town of Brewster’s health insurance programs as of July 1, 2012 equal insurance reimbursement by way of an insurance premium holiday. Insured retirees received their funds in July. Active and qualifying Brewster employees received their funds in a premium holiday in December. This is a one time mitigation reimbursement. The Insurance Advisory Committee would like to continue meeting quarterly. This committee would continue to represent Brewster employees. The committee’s purpose would be to continue to monitor insurance programs and to check into other policies that members may be interested in. To continue this committee’s work we will need more volunteers. Any Brewster employee or retiree is welcome to inquire into joining this committee. Please call town hall to receive more information. Respectfully submitted, Cynthia Eldredge On behalf of the PEC members: James Ehrhart, RSCME Anthony Dalmau, IAFF, Local 3763 Freddie O’Neal, Mass COPS, Local 332 Annette Preston, OPEIU, Local 6 Brian York, SEIU, Local 888 Cynthia Eldredge, Nauset Education Association 225 REPORT OF THE LADIES’ LIBRARY 2012 was a year of opportunities for the Brewster Ladies’ Library. While the national and state economies continued in the doldrums, the Library benefitted from the generosity of two past Presidents of the Brewster Ladies’ Library Association. Frances Nickerson bequeathed over three quarters of a million dollars to the Library’s Association and Betty Ritter bequeathed over $300,000. The Association’s Board of Directors and its Committee on Fiduciary Responsibility has recommended that a portion of the Nickerson funds be directed toward organizing an annual event in honor of Ms. Nickerson and that an additional portion be allocated to support an architectural and interior design study aimed at identifying options for improving the library’s furnishings and physical layout. The library’s Endowment fund will also benefit from these gifts. Developments in information technology led to significant investments in technology including the purchase of twenty new computers for staff and the public, a new digital telephone system, ten laptops for in-house use by library users, and a totally redesigned website for the library. As information technology continued to change the way users address their informational needs, library staff provided training in the use of digital information resources and library volunteers provided training on the effective use of iPads. It is nonetheless important to note that while eBooks are becoming increasingly popular among the public, their use amounts to less than 4% of total library usage – over 180,000 circulated items during the past year. The importance of the library as a “place” is evidenced by the thousands of visitors who came to the library in 2012 to browse the shelves, use the online catalog, take advantage of free wireless Internet, use the public computers provided by the library, receive reference and circulation help from Library staff, and have stories read to their children. As Brewster’s de facto community center the library provided meeting space for over 500 meetings by local groups and its auditorium hosted book readings, musical programs, magic shows, showings of foreign movies, art displays, pottery shows, poetry workshops and - we think for the first time - a wedding! The library will continue to find ways to make the facility more comfortable and accessible as it did this year with the purchase of several picture-book bins for the children’s area. Several staff changes occurred during the year. For thirty-three years Claire Gradone has served Brewster’s children: reading to them, introducing them to the riches of the library, and opening their minds to the world the library presents. Claire has announced her retirement, effective in March, 2013. Nic Willcox joined the staff as Assistant Youth Services librarian in January, after receiving her Masters of Library and Information Science at the University of North Carolina. Janice Riley joined the staff as an Assistant Librarian replacing Norma Modzelewski, who resigned after 12 years of dedicated service. During 2012, the Brewster Ladies Library Association partnered with the Town of Brewster by providing 25% of the Library budget and over 6000 hours of volunteer effort. This partnership continues to serve the citizens of Brewster well. Respectfully submitted, Jeff Gardner, President, Board of Directors 226 Brewster Ladies’ Library Board of Directors Jeff Gardner, President Ed Ducharme Mary Mauterstock, Vice President Mike Gradone Larry Houghton, Treasurer Sarah Hewitt Barbara Wellnitz, Secretary Glenn Lowery Ann Leighton, Corresponding Secretary Dick Manning Joan Cassidy Katherine Reynolds 227 REPORT OF THE MILLSITES COMMITTEE The Mill Site committee oversees the maintenance of the Stony Brook Gristmill and Museum, as well as the surrounding environs including footpaths and bridges. The Committee also manages the summer season at the Gristmill, including volunteer recruitment/coordination, special events, milling, and corn meal sales. The Stony Brook Gristmill’s new waterwheel and restored mill works were in action this year. Our thanks to Andy Shrake and his assistant, Jesse Lambert. The quality and craftsmanship of their work on this project is truly outstanding. The Mill Site Committee is grateful for the support of town officials, and the approval from many town committees and Brewster residents for the funding to replace the worn out wheel and old farmer’s mill. The new mill works, water wheel and sluiceway are meticulously crafted, much more efficient, and allow us to grind more corn meal using less water. The Grist Mill and upstairs Museum are open every Saturday 10 –2 from late June until the last weekend in August. Visitors can see the water driven wheel and the process of grinding corn into cornmeal. We also sell bags of fresh ground cornmeal. Upstairs, the Museum features weaving demonstrations on an antique barn loom, photos of Brewster’s Factory village, and artifacts from 19th Century Brewster. During this past year, we had almost 2000 visitors and sold over 1800 pounds of fresh ground corn meal. 228 Every year we host two school groups at the Mill. The Boxborough Fifth Grade has been visiting the mill site for twenty years, and we have opened the mill for them for the past five. Another highlight of our season is always the Brewster Third Grade Field trip. The students spend time in the Mill Room, the Museum, and alongside Stony Brook. Mill volunteers explain the mill works, a weaver helps them use the loom, they check out the artifacts and they learn about the alewife life cycle. The students are attentive, engaged, and excited to learn more about Brewster history . In addition to our regular schedule, we hosted three special events at the mill this year: A spring reception to thank the many committees, town officials and residents who helped with the restoration of the mill, our annual Indian Pudding Party in July, and the Mills and Gills Festival in August. The Mills and Gills festival is collaboration with the Brewster Historical Society. This year, Doug Erickson was appointed Town Miller. Doug replaced Stan Godwin who had held the position since 2008. Stan and his wife Sandra worked tirelessly at the Mill during his tenure and continue to volunteer their time and expertise for a variety of projects and events. Our grateful thanks to Stan for his service as miller. The committee relies on volunteers to run all of the mill activities – museum guides, mill room help, special event planning, spring clean up work, and many other projects. If you are interested in volunteering or want to learn more about it, please contact Town Hall. You can also contact us via our Facebook site, Stony Brook Factory Village Gristmill and Museum. Respectfully submitted, Dana Condit, Chairman Faythe Ellis Roger V. O’Day Sandra Godwin William Todd Doug Erickson Stan Godwin 229 REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES This year the Natural Resources Department launched the Brewster Friends of Lands, Aquatics, Trails, & Shellfish (F L A T S) volunteer group to combine the efforts of our community under a unified campaign to clean our waters, preserve & protect our lands, and enhance shellfish populations. We continue to coordinate the Pond and Lake Stewards (PALS) volunteer program who provide bi-annual monitoring for 29 ponds in Brewster. In addition, we sampled Long Pond monthly to evaluate the effectiveness of the alum treatment program. Cooperation with UMASS Dartmouth’s School of Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) continued this year to monitor the complex Mill Ponds network. A revised sampling protocol for the Recreation fields off Freeman’s Way and Captains Golf course was implemented with the help of Lynn Mulkeen Perry from the Barnstable County Health & Environment and Dave Bennett from Bennett Environmental Associates. The Department’s active role in reducing wildfire risk in the Punkhorn Parklands continued with a grant through Barnstable County. We expanded our land management efforts this year to include: the Bates property, well #6, Quivett Marsh Vista, Hawks Nest Farm, Mother’s Bog, Read Kingsbury, Spruce Hill and Bakers Pond. Rather than hire vendors to do annual cutting, we worked closely with the DPW, FLATS volunteers, and AmeriCorps~Cape Cod to keep everything in house. James Gallagher continues to work with the Friends of Punkhorn group on trail maintenance and rubbish removal. This dedicated group meets on the 4th Wednesday of every month at the parking area to the Punkhorn Parklands. We continued efforts (fourth consecutive year) of field habitat restoration on Wings Island by utilizing volunteers from AmeriCorps~Cape Cod & staff from the CC National Seashore fire management crew. We spent numerous days with brush cutters preparing this area for a prescribed burn. Storm water runoff and coastal erosion continue to plague our beaches, this year Chris Wingard coordinated the construction of a staircase at West Breakwater Landing as a requirement for his Eagle Scout badge. With assistance from the DPW, the previous access point was filled in and replanted, providing a safer and less destructive beach access point. Paines Creek Beach saw a colorful array of kayaks stacked along the eastern banks of the access path. We added approximately 44 kayak and canoe storage spaces available for rent at $25 a year. This proved to be a very popular service and efforts are being made to add more for next year. We continue to actively manage the hundreds of moorings in town on both fresh and salt water. This year we established kayak racks at Paines Creek, Mants Landing, and Upper Mill Pond boat ramp. We continue to support alternative modes of transportation by providing bike racks at many of our town landings. Taking pride in our coastal beaches continues to be a priority and this year we partnered with Coast Sweep to coordinate a town wide beach sweep that removed plastic, bottles & cans, balloons and even a microwave from our beaches. In addition, we conducted our routine beach sweeps in February and March to remove debris washed up by winter storms. 230 We continue our work with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) in responding to stranded or dead marine mammals. Each year we have multiple strandings on Brewster beaches, and our department functions as the trained local first responders. We also work with several other local groups in responding to wildlife issues throughout the town. In the last several years we have been very successful in saving many dolphins, seals and sea turtles that otherwise would have perished. This past year had unprecedented amounts of strandings, but our success rate was very high. Community outreach and education continued to be a top priority in 2012. We organized the 4th annual “Learn To Shellfish” program with Brewster Recreation giving children the opportunity to dig clams on the flats. We also hosted elementary school groups at Mant’s Landing shellfish farm to talk about aquaculture and the creatures living in the intertidal zone. Classroom visits were made to Cape Cod Community College and Nauset Regional High School to promote our summer intern program and the importance of giving back to our community through community service. 2012 also saw the development of two successful community events. In April, our Department helped to organize Beautify Brewster Day, which was a town wide cleanup aimed at removing roadside debris in preparation for Brewster In Bloom. For the second event, we partnered with the Brewster Conservation Trust to create Brewster Conservation Day. This was an all day environmental festival that had guided walks throughout town and used Drummer Boy Park as a hub for environmental exhibits and educational programs. Both events received tremendous support and positive feedback from the community and plans are in the works to run them again. AmeriCorps Cape Cod continues to maintain a presence in Brewster. We have continued to utilize between 6 and 24 AmeriCorps volunteers for several half and full day service projects. These include: three days of oyster aquaculture assistance; 9 days of brush cutting on Wings Island; 2 days field habitat enhancement on the former Ellis pig farm (Hawks Nest farm in southwest Brewster); 3 days at Mother’s Bog removing scrub pines, invasive species removal at Quivet Marsh Vista; and herring run cleanup at the Stony Brook Mill site. AmeriCorps members from the Wellfleet House recognized Chris Miller, Ryan Burch & James Gallagher for their outstanding support to the program and its members by awarding them the 2011-2012 “Service Partner of the Year” award. The Department is working at the Stony Brook Mill site to rebuild the upper dam, currently planned for completion in spring 2013. We are actively seeking funding for construction, and have currently obtained grant funding for over ½ of the estimated $550,000. In years past, Barnstable County Cooperative Extension has provided funding to purchase oyster seed. This funding is no longer available, so the Natural Resources department is actively fundraising to make up the shortfall in oyster seed funding. Efforts included privately sponsored fundraising dinners, donations, and sale of “Brewster Oyster” and now “Brewster Flats” branded gear. Through the efforts of staff and volunteers, we have raised approximately $3,000 this year. We expect to continue these efforts, with a goal of raising one-half of the required cost of the oyster seed annually. We have continued to manage our aquaculture volunteer group that provides assistance in propagation, distribution and grow out. We typically have two or three “group” days for pulling the oysters and aquaculture gear off the flats during winter months, and a second day to put them back in the water in late winter/early spring. We also have volunteers who work with us biweekly in sorting oysters and handling gear. In the summer, they assist with the 231 weekly stocking of quahogs off Saints Landing. In the fall, they aid with weekly stocking of oysters for public harvest. Their dedication and contributions are essential, and allows the Natural Resources staff to concentrate on managing town lands as our primary goal. They also assist with monitoring our 8 miles of coastline on a year round basis for shellfishing and environmental issues. We would not provide the level of service to Brewster without their valuable assistance. The Department continued managing the 1.6 million dollar ARRA Stimulus grant for replacing the undersized culvert under Route 6A at Stony Brook. Final paving and guard rail installation was completed this fall, with ongoing salt marsh and fish passage monitoring to continue for the next two years. This multiyear project will restore over 20 acres of salt marsh and improve the health of the Stony Brook valley, as well as improve the herring run. No local match is required for this grant; however, the department is very busy with project management and the required monitoring and reporting. The project was completed on time and under budget, and the department successfully petitioned to use the remaining funds towards two other town projects, Freemans Pond Culvert (permitting costs), and restoration of the Mill Site dam and fish passage at Lower Mill Pond. We have also received a $187,000 stimulus grant through the NRCS to replace the undersized culvert at the end of Paine’s Creek Road that leads to Freeman’s Pond. These funds should pay for 75% of the construction costs. In addition to the ARRA funding for permitting (100% of costs), we received $40,000 in additional funding towards construction through the Massachusetts Division of Ecological Restoration/Department of Fish & Game to help cover the local match requirements for this project. We plan to replace this culvert in Spring 2013. The department also continues to work with DPW and others on stormwater improvements across town, and is managing the engineering design for stormwater and erosion control at Ellis Landing. We wish to thank Brewster for its continuing dedication to open space preservation and protection of its natural resources. Should you wish to help us out, we have regular volunteer opportunities for all ages. Congratulations to Chris Miller for his continued participation with the Stony Brook Valley Project. This year, the project team received the federal “Partnership Award,” from Coastal America for his participation on the Stony Brook salt marsh and fish passage restoration team. We received a tremendous amount of support from our local business community through food and drink donations for a majority of our events. We wish to thank Laurino’s Restaurant, Ocean Edge Golf Club & Resort, Brewster Pizza, TD Bank, Cape Cod 5, Ardeo of Brewster, Local Flavor, Agway, Dunkin Donuts. I wish to thank the staff, including Ryan Burch, Natural Resources Assistant; James Gallagher, Conservation Administrator/Natural Resources Assistant; Carol Spade, Senior Department Assistant, Frank Borek, Shellfish and Alewife Warden, and John Sullivan, Assistant Shellfish Warden. Respectfully submitted, Chris Miller, Natural Resources Director Ryan Burch, Natural Resources Assistant James Gallagher, Conservation Administrator 232 REPORT OF THE NAUSET REGIONAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE WE’RE DOING WELL Serving students in grades six through twelve from the towns of Brewster, Eastham, Orleans and Wellfleet, the Nauset Regional School District has developed a well-earned reputation for excellence. Students from Truro and Provincetown continue to attend both the Middle School and High School. By every available measurement both the Middle School located in Orleans and the High School located in Eastham, perform among the best in the Commonwealth, and Massachusetts is always ranked as one of the best states in the country in regards to education. With a wide range of curricular offerings along with high quality programs in sports and the arts, our schools have attracted large numbers of School Choice students from other districts, ranked among the top in state test scores, employed the very best teaching talent available, and prepared a large percentage of our graduates for college success. WHY WE’RE DOING WELL Good schools happen when they are supported by the people of their community. Nauset Regional has consistently received that support. The voters of our communities want a strong educational program for our children and youth. Through the successful override vote in 2011, the voters confirmed this commitment to education. 233 During this past year the Region completed the upgrades to the roofs and doors at the high school. The project was very successful, having come in under budget by about 1.5 million dollars. The State had made available competitive “green” funds for energy efficient roofs, boilers and windows. Since Nauset Regional High School has had little upgrading since its construction in 1971, the School Committee had made application for some of those monies in 2011. WE CONTINUE TO WORK TO IMPROVE Joining with the four elementary school committees, we have adopted a new Strategic Plan for the years 2012 through 2017. Long-range planning is a multi-year process, and citizens will be asked to participate as we continue to refine our Mission, Core Values and Goals. The updated Strategic Plan includes the following themes: • Student Learning • School Culture and Climate • Communications and Community Partnerships • Leadership and Organizational Management • Education Funding and Sustainability The committee will continue to seek community input as they relate to these themes. In 2011, the Sustainability Committee was created by invitations to the four Boards of Selectmen and four Finance Committees to send representatives to participate along with School Committee members and Administrators. The Committee continues to meet and is a representative of the leadership of the towns, and members which are determined to seek out solutions to this complicated issue. Once again we are fortunate to live and work in communities that value public education Respectfully submitted, John M. O’Reilly, Chair Brewster Representatives Greg O’Brien Jayne Fowler Sue Skidmore 234 REPORT OF THE OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE The Open Space Committee, established in 1998 to carry out the purposes of and receive funding through the Cape Cod Open Space Acquisition Program (The Land Bank), now receives funding through the Community Preservation Committee (CPC). Lemuel Skidmore resigned this year. We wish to thank him for his time and energy on the Committee. This year the Committee Chairman, Elizabeth Taylor, was honored with a Lifetime Achievement in Conservation Award at the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions (MACC) Annual Environmental Conference. “As a stalwart advocate for the environment and a leader in the Massachusetts conservation community, she has long been dedicated protecting our lands, wetlands and water resources for everyone, including future generations.” (MACC) Priorities for the Open Space Committee remain the same, although objectives and funding are now more flexible with Community Preservation funds: 1. Protection of water resources: drinking water supply, ponds, marine watersheds 2. Protection of the rural character of the Town, including historic scenic vistas 3. Provision of Open Space for passive recreation, creation of pocket parks 4. Special purposes: preservation of agricultural areas, wildlife/plant habitats, threatened resources/linkage to existing conservation areas With a total area of 16,335 acres, Brewster is 40.26% developed; 15% “undevelopable” wetland; 32.74% protected; 12.00% land left to be developed or preserved. It remains more costly for the Town to have land developed than kept as open space. The Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC) found in its 2001 Cost of Community Services Study that at that point in time, every dollar of revenue created by a year-round home cost the Town, on average, at least $1.34 for the provision of services and infrastructure maintenance, while open space cost less than a third of that amount. Open Space Acquisitions, Town of Brewster, 1983-2012 Time Span Acres Added Total $ Spent Avg. $/Year Avg. $/Acre 1983-1998 1,372.35 $14,582,328 $ 911,385 $10,625 1999-2006* 158.70 $ 8,527,300 $1,065,912 $53,732 2007-2012 CPA 86.46 $ 2,105,680 $ 421,136 $24,354 1983-2012 1,617.51 $25,215,308 $ 926,896 $15,588 2012 Town Meeting approved purchase of two Copelas properties: Fall Town Meeting approved one article for two acquisitions this year, totaling 82 acres for a total of $1,800,000, about $22,000 per acre. This was a two part purchase, with one 26.65 acre parcel in East Brewster on Freeman’s Way (Naumkeag Acres for $660,000) and one 55.2 acre parcel in West Brewster on Slough Road (Windrift Acres for $1,140,000). These two parcels represented the largest parcels available for residential development in Brewster’s District of Critical Planning Concern/ZONE II that protects well-fields. In fact, the seller has approvals from the Town for a total of 29 house lots on them. These forested parcels will provide important wildlife habitat, protection for existing municipal well-fields and have been a top priority for acquisition for well over ten years. A network of walking trails already 235 exists on the parcels that could be opened for public use and devoted to links in the Cape Cod Pathways Program. The Brewster Water Commissioners agreed to fund the $660,000 expense to pay for the Freeman’s Way property (Naumkeag Acres), which also lies within the Pleasant Bay Watershed. The Slough Road property (Windrift Acres) contributes to the Herring River and the Bass River Watersheds. Brewster’s nitrogen contributions to all three of these watersheds may be subject to regional wastewater nitrogen loading requirement in the future. The Freeman’s Way parcel was to be purchased by the end of 2012 and the Slough Road parcel by the end of 2013, allowing for separate applications for MA L.A.N.D. grants. The Town applied for the Freeman’s Way a grant but was not successful. State open space funds have been drastically reduced over the last year. It is hoped that the Town may be more successful in applying for a grant for the Slough Road parcel in 2013. At Spring Town Meeting the Town passed a Custody of Land Project article which clarified the custody and management of Town-owned open space and integrated sensitive and strategic, conservation worthy parcels under the care and custody of the Conservation Commission. Previously these parcels had all been held by the Board of Selectmen for general municipal purposes. 20 Parcels, totaling almost 300 acres, with conservation importance for wildlife habitat, wetlands, water supply protection, surface water protection, or those adjacent to Conservation Commission lands were included in this article. In addition, this article placed a conservation restriction to be held by the Brewster Conservation Trust on all of the parcels. The article transferred custody of 12 of the parcels (226.37 acres) to the Conservation Commission, thereby resulting in long-term consistent management and protection of sensitive natural resources. 8 of the parcels (68.25 acres) all within the Punkhorn Parklands, were transferred to the Water Commission. At Fall Town Meeting the Town also transferred a number of previously taken tax-title parcels that had been under the custody of the Selectmen for general municipal purposes. Three parcels, totaling 2.77 acres, on Slough Road/Elbow Pond were transferred to the custody and control of the Conservation Commission. Two parcels abutting the Copelas parcels on Slough Road (11.3 acres) and off Freeman’s Way (5.8 acres) were transferred to the Water Commission for watershed protection and possible future well-field development. The Town has taken 64.95 acres of Tax Title lands, as a result of the non-payment of property taxes. Some parcels are kept for municipal use such as housing, while others, such as these, are best suited for conservation purposes. Many of these parcels abut existing conservation lands, while other are located in the Town DCPC and help protect public supply well-fields. Many are back lands with no access; some are classified as owners unknown. The Open Space Committee continues to work with the CPC, jointly evaluating parcels as they become available. Some parcels are prioritized to prevent development within a drinking water Zone II, to preserve marine watershed recharge areas, or for habitat/wildlife corridor/ wetland protection: others better suited for Community Housing, Historic Preservation and/ or Recreation. This Committee works closely with BCT and The Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts, which have been of inestimable assistance in locating/negotiating/purchasing lands. It must be noted that over the last twelve years, BCT has protected over 800 acres of land. 236 The Committee will continue to pursue ways to supplement open space funds through collaborations, contributions, joint purchases, or bargain sales from owners who wish to assist conservation. Land can be protected in many ways: direct purchase, reserved life estate, bargain sale, gift, will, easement or agricultural preservation restriction, all with attractive tax incentives. People can also give land to the Town for Open Space, Community Housing, Recreation or Historic/Agricultural Preservation and generate tax savings. We thank all Departments for their assistance, as well as the Board of Selectmen and the citizens of Brewster for their support of Open Space objectives. Respectfully submitted, Elizabeth G. Taylor/Planning Board, Chair Gary Christen/Pathways, Vice-Chairman Jeanne Boehm/Conservation Commission Danni Jesudowich/Citizen-at-Large Keith Johnson/Citizen-at-Large Don Keeran/Citizen–at-Large Tom Kowalski/Citizen-at-Large Peter Norton/Board of Selectmen Lemuel Skidmore/Citizen-at-Large-resigned 237 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board is made up of seven elected members who serve staggered five year terms. The Board meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 6:30 pm in the Town Hall Building. The Board holds work session meetings when necessary for planning and by-law discussion. Public hearings are advertised in the Cape Codder newspaper. Agendas are posted in Town Hall, outside of Town Hall, and on the Town’s Web site. The public is always welcome to attend Planning Board meetings. Meetings are recorded and available for viewing from the Town Web site or Local Cable Channel 18. Statutory Authority The Planning Board operates within the statutory authority conferred by Massachusetts General Laws (MGL), Chapters 40A and 41. These laws set the direction and scope of Planning Board review as it relates to land division, long and short term planning. Planning Board reviews generally fall within the following categories: * Site Plan Review (enacted in 2011) * Use Special Permits pursuant to Article IV Table 1 of the Zoning By-law * Land Division through subdivision under MGL Chapter 41 * Approval Not Required (ANR) under MGL Chapter 41 * Scenic Road Act (MGL Chapter 40 §15C & Public Shade Tree Act (MGL Chapter 87 §8). The Board hears requests and grants or denies applications for certain special permits. The Board guides the process of zoning amendments which have to be approved by Town Meeting and the Attorney General’s office. Brewster has a special provision of the Zoning Bylaw known as the Site Plan Review, which imposes a special duty to examine every new building (except single and two-family residences) and every new use or change of use to assure that traffic congestion does not occur and that the character and appearance of Brewster is maintained. Planning Board Members Several members of the current Planning Board have served consecutive terms; John McMullen since 1996 and Elizabeth Taylor since 1999. John Leaning and Scott Collum joined the Planning Board in 2010. Robert Barnard and Richard Kuzman chose not to run again in 2012. Suzanne McInerney resigned in 2012. We wish to thank them for their valuable time and contributed expertise on the Board. 2012 also welcomed new members William Hoag and Richard Judd. In November, The Board of Selectmen and the Planning Board met jointly to interview applicants to fill Suzanne’s unexpired term until the May election. Jason Klump was chosen to fill the opening. Planning Board Staff Sue Leven, Town Planner, provides support in drafting bylaws, expertise in Town, State and regional planning, zoning laws, and is present for meetings. Kelly Moore, Senior Department Assistant provides the Board administrative support, assists applicants with the application process, fields calls from residents and supports Sue Leven. Much of the work of the Planning Board is complex, demanding, and requires understanding of applicable State statutes, Town bylaws, case law decisions and subdivision regulations. The Planning Board managed 26 applications in 2012: 238 17 Special Permits: (7) Site Plan Review, (9) Other Special Permits, (1) Subdivision application 8 ANR (Approval Not Required) applications 1 Road Betterment 4 Informal Discussions TOWN MEETING ACTION Annual Town Meeting: in May 2012, the Planning Board presented 6 Articles: Definitions Farm Stands/Greenhouses Use Regulations Non-conforming lots Off Street Parking & Loading Swimming Pool Fence All Articles passed except for Off Street Parking & Loading . Fall Town Meeting: in October 2012, The Planning Board presented one Article: Zoning amendment/Noise, Site Plan Review update The amendment passed. These articles are part of the Board’s ongoing efforts to improve Zoning Bylaws, by removing duplication, clarifying questionable sections, and creating understandable regulations. The Board strives to be sensible and responsive to the community needs. Board Member Activities: All are on Local Comprehensive Planning Committee Robert Barnard Outgoing Water Quality Review Committee Rep.

Jason Klump New Liaison, Zoning Board of Appeals Richard Kuzman John Leaning John McMullen Elizabeth G. Taylor Cape Cod Commission Delegate, Open Space Committee, Community Preservation Committee, Comprehensive Water Management Planning Committee The Future The Planning Board continues to act as the Town’s “Local Planning Committee” under the Cape Cod Commission Act and expects to begin development of Brewster’s Local Comprehensive Plan for submission to the Cape Cod Commission in the near future. Residents who are interested in serving on or even chairing this committee are encouraged to contact the Town Planner. Development still continues on Cape Cod although at a slower pace. Brewster is one of the few towns which still have open land. Brewster continues to work diligently to permanently preserve open space. A return to the historical development patterns, with housing above retail, commercial and industrial establishments and pedestrian friendly “village areas” would increase density in some areas. However, it would also allow us to retain open space in other areas and preserve it as un-fragmented, high quality habitat. 239 The Board encourages cluster development and with the Town’s Natural Resource Protection Design in Zone II’s and the Pleasant Bay Watershed initiative, promotes preservation of open land and protection of our water resources. This type of development makes resource protection a priority, clears less land, better preserves the natural landscape, and has less impervious surfaces, reducing road and stormwater issues. The Board is considering suggestions for revitalizing Brewster’s Commercial, Village Business and Industrial Districts, which would help to increase the Town’s commercial tax base, without increasing the size of these districts. The Community Preservation Act funds are available to help the Town to better integrate housing needs with those for open land/drinking water protection and recreation, while preserving historic character. The Planning Board hopes the citizens of Brewster will continue to support our efforts to preserve the character and appearance of our town. The Planning Board wishes to thank the members of all Town Departments, Committees and Agencies who contributed their time and efforts to the Board’s endeavors. Scott Collum, Chairman John Leaning, Vice Chairman John McMullen William Hoag, Clerk Elizabeth G. Taylor Richard Judd Jason Klump 240 REPORT OF THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department is continuing with the daily work of the Planning Board, Board of Appeals, and Comprehensive Water Planning Committee and providing assistance and information to the general public, and anyone else who asked. The Department also provides staff support to other departments and committees, as time and staffing allow. The Town Planner also represents the Town on the Pleasant Bay Alliance, the Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative, and several federal land use and transportation groups. Zoning and General By-Law Amendments In 2012, the Planning Department worked on several zoning by-law amendments which were heard at the Annual Town Meeting in May 2012 and the Special Town Meeting in October 2012. These included: •A complete rewrite of the definitions, use table and parking by-laws. This included updating definitions and uses to reflect present day concepts such as assisted living and alternative energy. The definitions and use table passed at the May 2012 Town Meeting. The parking by-law did not, and will be revisited at a future Town Meeting. •A change to the by-law governing non-conforming lots that would allow for equal land swaps through the Approval Not Required (ANR) process. •Adding text that had been accidentally omitted back into the Site Plan Review by- law. This text addresses how the Planning Board can address noise issues within the Site Plan Review process. Proposed by-laws for future Town Meetings are also being worked on including revisions to the sign by-laws. Look for these at future Town Meetings. Integrated Water Resource Management Plan – The Comprehensive Water Planning Committee (CWPC) continues to make progress on the Town’s Integrated Water Resource Management Plan (IWRMP), with the second phase of work completed in December 2012. Also completed this year: a Town-wide buildout analysis; the first phase of municipal stormwater system mapping; and a project to create a collection of data layers for the Town’s GIS system, with staff training. The Committee, which is supported by the Planning Department, is working with consultants now on a scope of work for the third phase of work, which will evaluate alternative approaches to address the Town’s water management needs. The CWPC annual report will have more information on the project and other work of the Committee. Staff Review and Development Review – This year, the Department started heading up a new process called Staff Review. Under Staff Review, a prospective applicant can meet with Town department heads to discuss a project before entering the permitting process. This process is free and confidential. The Planning Department circulates information to other departments, sets up meetings, and provides information and follow-up to those who have projects go through the process. In 2012 (the first full year of Staff Review), we had 17 proposed projects go through the process. The Department also provided support for the Planning Board and Board of Appeals’ review of development applications. This involved helping applicants throughout the application and review process, file management, and correspondence, as well as review of decisions. The Department also meets with potential applicants prior to their submitting application to the boards to assist them in the preparing the applications and understanding and addressing zoning requirements. 241 Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) – One DRI from Brewster was before the Cape Cod Commission this year. A 132-unit assisted living and memory care complex on Harwich Road (Route 124) was approved by the Cape Cod Commission in the summer of 2012, and that decision was appealed by an abutter. Special Projects – The Planning Department has been working with the Cape Cod Commission and the State Department of Transportation on a project called “Living Streets.” This is a pilot project which is looking at streetscape and pedestrian improvements to the area of Route 6A between Skaket Corners in Orleans and Crosby Lane in Brewster. Several public meetings on the project were held in 2012, and there will also be opportunities to learn more about the project in the coming year. Public Service – The Planning Department has created several brochures and other public information pieces to assist the public in navigating the permitting process and to keep the public informed of community meetings. Brochures have been created for Staff Review as well as Site Plan Review, and posters and flyers have been designed and produced for community meetings associated with the integrated water management planning process. After many years of having two sets of Assessor’s Maps, the Town is making the transition to the “new” map and lot system in January, 2013. The Planning Department is in the process of converting our files from “old” to “new” map and lot, and have also started scanning all of our files so that they can be accessible electronically as opposed to only on paper. The Planning Department is committed to providing information to the general public, as well as other local, regional, state or federal agencies. We encourage anyone who is interested in planning and anyone who has questions about planning to stop by the office or call and make an appointment. The planning process is much more interesting and effective when residents and property owners are informed and involved. Thanks to all the people who supported the work of the Planning Department this year, including everyone who works for the Town, and the many committee members, residents and visitors who provided guidance and support, or just stopped by to see what we’re all about. Thanks also to Kelly Moore and Marilyn Mooers for their help, hard work and commitment. Respectfully submitted, Susan M. Leven AICP, Town Planner Kelly Moore, Senior Department Assistant, Planning Board Marilyn Mooers, Senior Department Assistant, Board of Appeals 242 REPORT OF THE 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 Pleasant Bay watershed. 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 2012 are listed below. More information is available at www.pleasantbay.org. Water Quality - the Pleasant Bay Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Program finished its 13th monitoring season. Trained volunteers collected samples at 20 locations throughout the Bay, and a 90% sample recovery rate was recorded. Samples are analyzed at the UMASS-Dartmouth School for Marine Science and Technology laboratory. Muddy Creek Restoration - The Alliance worked with the Cape Cod Conservation District and consultants to complete a study of resource effects from the replacement of existing culverts under Route 28 at Pleasant Bay/Muddy Creek with a single span bridge. The report concluded that installation of a bridge would significantly improve the health of wetlands, fisheries, shellfisheries, and water quality in Muddy Creek, with no adverse effects for the rest of Pleasant Bay. The report was presented at a public meeting in March 2012. Based on the findings, the Towns of Harwich and Chatham entered into an inter-municipal agreement to pursue design, permitting and construction of the bridge. Coastal Resources – The Alliance released two new publications in 2012. The Coastal Resource Guide for Pleasant Bay and Chatham Harbor was developed with assistance from the Woods Hole Sea Grant, Cape Cod Commission and Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies. The Guide draws from recent technical studies, as well as existing regional and state resources, to describe trends in barrier beach migration, tidal dynamics, flushing, water quality, wildlife, fisheries and related processes and resources. Much of the information is depicted on GIS-based maps. The Alliance released a study of tide data conducted by the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies. The study shows that the volume of water flowing in and out of Pleasant Bay in 2012 was about the same as it was right after the second inlet formed in 2007. The increase in tidal range experienced after the 2007 inlet reached a peak in March of 2010, and has experienced a slight but steady decrease in the two years since. Tidal range is now less than at any time since soon after the formation of the 2007 inlet, and mean high water is lower than it has been since 2009. Dredging Assessment – All four Alliance towns adopted a resource management plan amendment to allow the Town of Chatham to seek permits for improvement dredging in a designated zone for the purpose of maintaining historic access. The amendment complements a state regulation under review to allow improvement dredging in an ACEC if it is consistent with a locally and state approved management plan. The Alliance wishes to thank the citizens of Brewster for your ongoing support.

The approval of an override in 2012 allowed the Police Department to better respond to the challenging nature of calls. We are also able maintain a detective position necessary to follow up on many of the property crimes associated with drug addiction. As a department, we remain committed to prevent crime, preserve order and protect the lives, rights and property of all people and will continue to work in partnership with our community to identify and respond to its needs.

Mission Statement The Brewster Recreation Department is committed to enhancing the quality of life for all Brewster Residents and visitors by utilizing the Town’s many beautiful parks, beaches and facilities to provide the best quality recreational activities that challenge the body and spirit across all generations. The purpose of the Recreation Department is to meet the diverse recreational, cultural, athletic and leisure-time pursuits of the residents of Brewster with a broad-based comprehensive program. Recreational programs are organized to encourage participation and enjoyment and will be held at safe and well-equipped facilities on a year-round basis. II. From the Director The Brewster Recreation Department has achieved its FY12 goals to continue to improve and expand the programs and events which we established over the past fiscal year. During FY12 we have continued our goal of supporting a full time Assistant Director position for our department. II. Brewster Recreation Programs and Events During the last fiscal year the Recreation Department has continued to expand its core programs to include residents of the Brewster Community as well as residents and visitors from other Lower Cape towns. If you have not participated in one of our programs or events, you have surely heard about the positive opinions from those who have. Our goal is to continue to refine the aspects of the existing programs and events, always looking for new ideas and opportunities to shape the experiences of our residents and visitors alike. During the year, the Recreation Department hosted three community events with the Ocean Edge Resort: Halloween Party & Dance, an Easter Egg Hunt and the Breakfast with Santa. In addition to these events, we hosted a Summer Kick Off event and a Movie Night by the Bay in Drummer Boy Park. Each event was well received by our community and we will continue to offer them in the future. IV. For More Information The Brewster Recreation Department’s automated email announcement list has been an integral part of communicating updated information about our programs and events. It has been a very useful tool in promoting unfilled programs and reminding our subscription base about policies and procedures. Currently over 300 subscribers receive updates and we are told by many that our emails are happily anticipated. In short, we pride ourselves on being able to send a concise message with a friendly tone. Our web site www.brewsterrecreation.com is regularly updated and provides information for all our programming and events. The web site is also used as a means of communication for weather cancellations and to promote our free automated e-mail announcement list. The Brewster Recreation Department is committed to empowering our youth with the skills necessary to become responsible members of society. We recognize the need to instill high expectations so that all our participants realize that success lies within them. As we look forward to 2013 we offer a special thank you to our staff, volunteers, sponsors and the community who supports our department each and every year. 246 V. Recreation Commission Members Roland Bassett, Chair George Bausch, Vice-Chair Steve Bengston, Treasurer Sherrie McCullough, Secretary Kevin Pooler Respectfully Submitted, Ellen Ojala Brewster Recreation Director Brewster Seniors Tennis Group 247 REPORT OF THE RECYCLING COMMISSION During 2012, the Commission continued to assist the Department of Public Works in its efforts to streamline and improve recycling and waste disposal procedures at the Transfer Station. With the assistance of engineers from the Cape Cod Commission, several configurations, designed to rework the traffic pattern and layout of the drop off area, were considered for future implementation. The Board of Selectmen re-affirmed that the Commission should develop a proposal to implement Pay As You Throw (PAYT), a program designed to increase recycling and reduce waste. The Commission made a presentation to the Selectmen in February 2012 explaining the economic and environmental value of a PAYT program to Brewster and providing a draft implementation timeline as well as preliminary estimated cost savings. The Selectmen approved of the general aspects of the proposal but requested more specific information. They preferred that if implemented, the program would not begin until July 2013, at the earliest. The Commission membership expanded during 2012 and added several new appointed members as well as liaisons representing the Board of Health, Town Hall, Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee and Brewster Conservation Trust. Additionally, the Commission was provided significant help from Barnstable County’s new Waste Reduction Coordinator, David Quinn. The Commission accepted, with regret, the resignation of Thomas Hughes. 248 Members of the Commission staffed a booth at the Brewster Conservation Trust First Annual Event and sought input from residents on their perception of PAYT. PAYT continued to be studied throughout the year, including the financial impact for Brewster residents and the Town and how to best educate our citizens. During the last quarter of the year, great progress was made with additional Board of Selectmen and Finance Committee presentations. The latter part of the year was spent preparing educational and other presentation materials for a public forum requested by the Selectmen and held in January 2013. The Commission received feedback from the community including a desire for improved recycling in Town buildings and at the Captains Golf Courses. The Commission remains committed to supporting and implementing PAYT in Brewster and looks forward to evaluating other means of reducing the amount of solid waste generated and disposed of in Brewster such as composting and general waste reduction education. Respectfully submitted, Margretta (Meg) Morris, Chair William Barnstead, Member Robert Bersin, DPW Superintendent and Member John Cunningham, P.E., Member Robert Maloney, Member Kevin Poolers, Member Daniel Rabold, Board of Selectmen Liaison Dr. Mary Chaffee, Board of Health Liaison Ben deRuyter, Finance Committee Liaison Jillian Douglas, Town Administrative Liaison Peter Johnson, Brewster Conservation Trust Liaison 249 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS First and foremost, on behalf of the students and staff at Nauset High School, let me thank you for voting to replace the 40 year old windows, doors and the failing roofs by funding the Green Repair Project. Thanks to our architect, Steve Habeeb & Associates, the project came in approximately 1.7 million dollars under budget, with only a few change orders. Capeway Roof and Modern Glass did a fantastic job in an efficient and professional manner. At this point the roof is 100% complete and the contractors are working on the punch list for the windows and doors. The solar project is being researched by our attorney so as not to mitigate the warranty on our new roof. Again, our most sincere thanks, as it has greatly improved the facility and thus student learning and achievement. A great deal of thanks is also extended to Principal Conrad for being on site during the summer which kept the project on schedule avoiding delays in opening school. The building committee (John O’Reilly, Ron Collins, Tom Conrad, Frank Cummings, Bob Lewis, and Bob Miller) is to be commended for their commitment to the project. The Brewster Elementary Schools continue to be the pride of Brewster! Both schools are embracing many new initiatives in areas of science, mathematics, and English language arts while they work to align their instructional practices to the new State Curriculum Standards. Science instruction has been a major focus this year with both schools setting up labs where students are excited for the hands-on experiences. The YMCA has been a delightful addition at Stony Brook Elementary renting five classrooms to provide a program for lower Cape children who would otherwise have to travel a great distance to receive the early learning experiences which promote childhood development. Students continue to provide our community with services through the Eddy Community Service Club with visits to EPOCH and the Noah Shelter in Hyannis, giving up a day off to pack meals for those less fortunate and serving those in need within their own community. This year we have focused some of our resources on upgrading our technology – replacing old computers, installing interactive white boards in classrooms, and creating wireless access throughout the buildings. This is costly but necessary as even our younger student need to be able to use these tools of the future today. Thank you for your support of our budget that allows us to provide an outstanding education here in Brewster. Our students love interacting with the community: Second grade students sang the National Anthem at a Whitecaps baseball game and the Eddy Chorus sang the Star Spangled Banner at a Nauset Football game to the delight of all attendants. The VFW Post #9917 once again presented a Veterans’ Day Family Program honoring veterans past and present and included the Brewster Band. Both Eddy Elementary and Stony Brook Schools have been given a wonderful opportunity to be part of the “First Tee” program and we acknowledge the generosity of various golf groups at the Captain’s Course and beyond who made this program possible for our students. As you can see, the community is involved in our schools and we are grateful for these partnerships and volunteers. We are fortunate to have such a caring, thoughtful and supportive community in the Town of Brewster where we share the value of education of all of our students, ensuring that “every child matters.” This past year we also completed a facilities assessment of our high school, middle school and central office. The last study was done in 1996. The Nauset Regional School Committee established a subcommittee to review this report and bring forward recommendations as to how to proceed with the repairs and replacement of systems in our facilities that have reached the end of their useful life. The Middle School roof and the siding at the High School as well as the 250 HVAC systems have been identified as priorities and we will proceed by submitting a Statement of Interest to the State for possible financial assistance through a grant in the near future. Nauset High School was recognized and congratulated for earning a place on the 2012 AP Honor Roll. Increasing both participation and the number of students earning a 3 or higher on their AP exams indicates the district is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to benefit most from rigorous advanced coursework. Nauset High students continue to receive the highest ranking on State MCAS testing. New curriculum offerings in robotics/engineering are engaging students in the STEM program in a very positive way. Eddy School 4th and 5th grade students will have a chance to participate in a new robotics program offered for them in the 2012-13 school year. Nauset Middle School is presently applying for permits to build a greenhouse learning lab on Middle School property. The greenhouse will provide multi-disciplinary learning experiences for students in classes ranging from science and technology to arts and ecology, with a focus on growing native plant species as well as producing organic vegetables for use in the school cafeteria. Community fundraising events will be taking place to raise money for the project. We continue to be grateful for the assistance community volunteers provide to make our students and our programs the best on the Cape! During the past year a new Director of Finance and Operations, Giovanna Venditti, was hired as well as a new Food & Nutrition Services Director, Susan Murray, who are working together to implement changes in the food service program. Several state and federal mandates now limit what can be served in our cafeterias. Changes include more vegetable and fruit offerings and less fat and salt to provide a more nutritious meal at school. As with many initiatives, the school lunch program is being monitored carefully to provide a healthy meal within our budget. Brewster Beach Sweep 2012 251 I would be remiss if I did not thank the parents in our communities who support our staffs in their Professional Development which impacted the school calendar. This year we added several extra half days of school so that staffs could join together as a learning community and work effectively with the many changes happening in education at this time, most notably the new Common Core Curriculum in ELA and math for Grades Prek-12 and the new educator evaluation system. Nauset also approved a new five year Strategic Plan in summer 2012. You can find it on our web site www.nausetschools.org. The effort was a collaboration between staff members, administration, School Committees, Town Officials, and parents designed to articulate our mission and core beliefs, identify our priority areas of focus to achieve our mission and goals, determine specific strategies to meet these goals in all our schools and to provide an increased level of accountability and opportunities for engagement of our staff and community stakeholders. Your administrative team and elected School Committee members believe that strong staff and community involvement in our schools will ensure excellence in education for our children. Your Superintendent and the Brewster School Committee have continued to advocate for the richest learning environment that we can afford and we are very proud of the fact that we continue to offer our students opportunities to learn and grow through art, music, drama, foreign language, physical education, sports and extra-curricular activities. With your support we will continue to do so, as education is the key to a successful life and a strong community. Please feel free to contact me at any time. I invite you to share your thoughts and ideas with me and become more involved in our schools. I remain honored and privileged to be your Superintendent of Schools and promise continued commitment to excellence at Brewster’ Elementary Schools and throughout the Nauset District. Respectfully submitted, Richard J. Hoffmann, Ed.D Superintendent of Schools 252 REPORT OF THE VETERANS SERVICES DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Brewster The following report is of the activities of the Department of Veterans’ Services for the Town of Brewster for Calendar Year 2012. The Department of Veterans Services has continued to experience growth in volume due to the returning Iraq/Afghanistan wars, the difficult economic climate and the changing needs of our WWII, Korean, Vietnam and Gulf War veterans. One of our two primary functions is to administer low-income benefits under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 115 for veterans who are honorably-discharged, who establish need and worthiness and are residents of the Town of Brewster. During the year, the Town of Brewster, through our office, provided local aid to qualified veterans totaling more than $28,000 for housing, food, heat, medical and other related costs. The amount expended was reimbursed to the Town by the Commonwealth at a rate of 75% of total expenditures. We also provide services to veterans in obtaining the full range of federal government (Veterans’ Administration), state government and local government benefits. Over the past year this office obtained more than $1.4 million in VA cash benefits for service-connected injuries and VA non-service-connected pensions for Brewster veterans and widows/widowers. These federal funds greatly reduce the demand on our local aid fund. 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, at your home or any location that is best for you. For the convenience of our Brewster veterans we have expanded our hours at our Harwich office to Tuesday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 4:00PM. We extend our thanks to the Board of Selectmen, the Town Administrator and Town Accountant for their outstanding support throughout the year. In Service to Veterans, Edward F. Merigan, Director, Barnstable District Veterans Services Wilfred Remillard, Brewster Veterans Service Officer 253 REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT Thanks, partially, to the efforts of several groups, Brewster Conservation Trust, Water Quality Review Committee, Comprehensive Water Planning, and others, we are able to provide a high quality and reliable water supply to Brewster residents. We also have received a trophy for the “Best Tasting Water” in Southeastern Massachusetts. Our staff has maintained the infrastructure required to provide drinking water and fire protection to the residents of Brewster. Periodic flushing has been accomplished to remove sediment that sometimes accumulates during light seasonal usage. We have computerized this spring and fall flushing program in order to minimize occasional discoloration. The Water Department is completely funded by semiannual rates. Due to futuristic planning, currently, we are not budgeting wastewater treatment expenses as are other towns on Cape Cod. Contracts have been awarded and completed for the first two phases of an additional Well #6. This consists of a building and piping required to connect to the existing treatment facility. The third phase will include the pump, motor, and electrical controls. This phase should be completed in early 2013. The drilling of the well is complete, located near Well 4 in the southern Punkhorn Parklands property. Access roads were improved off of West Gate Road. The necessary improvement in the electric service will be provided by NSTAR. We hope that Well #6 will provide the additional capacity and redundancy that Brewster will require in the near future. The Board of Water Commissioners wishes to express thanks and appreciation to all Brewster residents and all town departments and employees whose help and cooperation contributed greatly to the success and efficiency of our operation and conservation efforts throughout the year. The Board also gratefully recognizes the dedicated and willing work of our Department Staff.

The committee consists of representatives of the Board of Health, Conservation Commission, Planning Board, Water Commissioners along with the Building Commissioner and the Health Director. Our purpose, as defines by the bylaw that created the committee is to: •Promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community by ensuring an adequate quality and quantity of drinking water for the residents, institutions and business’ of the town •Preserve and protect all existing and potential sources of drinking water supplies within the town. •To protect other sensitive water resource areas, including those land areas that contribute recharge to private drinking water supply wells. •Prevent temporary and permanent contamination of the water resources of the town. The committee spends much of its time overseeing the various Businesses in the Water Protection District. Following a review of all data, including but not limited to well testing, we grant Water Quality Compliance Certificates for up to three years. Over the year the committee has continued to foster a level of cooperation between the Sand and Gravel, Wood Waste Reclamation operations and the town. Well tests in these operations have now shown a great deal of improvement to the point we now have a level of comfort with the operators and their desire to be good environmental citizens. During this year with the cooperation of our consultant, Dave Bennett, our Natural Resources Director Chris Miller and the Director of Golf Operations, Mark O’Brien, and the Superintendent of the Captains Golf Course Steve Mann we were able to prove to county officials our good stewardship of the golf course as reflected in continued positive test results of water quality. The improved environmentally friendly course management allowed us to reduce our costs at the same time thereby once again proving that pro-active turf management produces both reduced spending and productive water quality results. With the above in mind the committee maintains a steadfast dedication to work towards removing any and all obstacles that could possibly have a detrimental effect on Brewster’s drinking water. We continue to diligently address any and all problems that may arise within the Zone 1 and Zone districts of contributions to our drinking water supply. The board would like to express its’ gratitude to both our Town Planner Sue Levin for her help and to our trusted administrative assistant Marilyn Mooers for all of her work and to our consultant David Bennett for his technical expertise and assistance. Respectfully submitted, Edward S. Lewis, Chair, Board of Selectman Representative Nancy Ellis Ice, Vice Chair, Health Director Dean Keuch, Water Department Representative Richard J. Judd Jr., Planning Board Representative Victor Staley, Building Commissioner Joanne Hughes, Board of Health Representative Chris Miller, Conservation Commission 255 REPORT OF THE ZONING AGENT Zoning Bylaws (land use regulations) are unique in that the townspeople, with a minimum 2/ 3 majority, vote to regulate themselves, which demands a high amount of respect and obligation from the Building Commissioner/Zoning Agent and the Building Department. Though the incidents can be quite varied the approach for regulating what people can and cannot do on their property stays constant with the language of the Zoning Bylaws. Introducing a property owner to use restrictions on their own property often takes a considerable amount of time, diplomacy and resources of the Building Department. Another responsibility of the Building Commissioner/Zoning Agent entails assuring that applicants remain true to all conditions stipulated in Variances, Special Permits and approved subdivisions that have been granted by the Board of Appeals and/or the Planning Board. This type of oversight often requires constant vigilance by the Building Department for the life of the property. This office made numerous zoning complaint investigations, inspections, interpretations and decisions during the calendar year 2012. Building Permit requests always require some sort of zoning determination, particularly now that land that used to be considered marginal for construction is receiving more pressure for development purposes. The Brewster Zoning Bylaws can now be accessed via the Town’s website <www.town.brewster.ma.us>. If you have any specific questions regarding how the Brewster Zoning Bylaws interact with your property either dimensionally (setbacks, lot coverage…) or by use (commercial, home occupation, signs…), we request that you submit your question in writing so that an accurate account of responses can be maintained for future reference. If you have general questions, we would advise reviewing the Bylaws or contacting the Building Department. Respectfully submitted, Victor E. Staley Brewster Building Commissioner/Zoning Agent Well NO. 6 256 REPORT OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS The Zoning Board of Appeals consists of nine members appointed by the Selectmen. The five regular members are Philip Jackson (Chair), Arthur Stewart (Vice-chair), Brian Harrison, Bruce MacGregor and John Nixon. The four alternate members are Paul Kearney, Leslie Erikson, Patricia Eggers and Sarah Kemp. This membership has remained intact since 2009. During calendar year 2012 there were 10 regular meetings. There were no meetings pertaining to comprehensive permit applications (40B). It is likely that the overall unfavorable economic conditions contributed to the continuing reduction in cases heard. The Board actively pursues comments from other town departments prior to the scheduled hearing of cases. All such comments are appreciated and are clearly helpful in the overall process. A total of 23 cases in 2012 resulted in 5 variances granted and 1 denied, 11 special permits granted, 1 appeal relative to a decision by the building commissioner being granted and 5 cases withdrawn. It should be noted that some variances and special permits are granted only after suggested modifications from the Board guide the applications to a point where they became acceptable to the Board. The Board acknowledges the help of the building commissioner and town planner in this process. In most instances, cases are withdrawn when a denial is anticipated by the applicant. We are fortunate to have the indispensable Marilyn Mooers in the position of Administrative Clerk for the Board. Respectfully submitted, Philip Jackson, Chairman Arthur Stewart, Vice-chair Brian Harrison Bruce MacGregor John Nixon Alternates: Paul G. Kearney Patricia Eggers Sarah Kemp Les Erickson 257 REPORT OF THE ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES Cape Cod Regional Government (known as Barnstable County) First District Courthouse, Route 6A Barnstable, MA 02630 The Assembly of Delegates is the legislative branch of Cape Cod Regional Government (also known as Barnstable County government). Each town within the county is duly represented on the Assembly of Delegates. Delegates are elected by the voters from each town for a two- year (calendar) term. On Tuesday, November 2, 2010, delegates were elected to serve and on January 5, 2011 assumed their duties and began the twelfth session (2011 – 2012) of the Assembly of Delegates. Ronald Bergstrom (Chatham) was elected Speaker and Richard Anderson (Bourne) was elected Deputy Speaker. Michelle Springer continued as the Acting Assembly Clerk following the sad passing of long-time Assembly Clerk Diane Thompson. In February 2011, Janice O’Connell was appointed and assumed her duties as the new Clerk for the Assembly of Delegates. The Assembly of Delegates holds regular meetings on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 4:00 p.m. in the Chamber Hall of the Assembly of Delegates, First District Courthouse, Barnstable, MA. The vote of each delegate is a weighted vote based on the 2010 U. S. Decennial Census. Barnstable has the largest weighted vote of 20.92% and Truro has the smallest weighted vote of 0.93%. The legislative powers of county government are vested in the Assembly of Delegates, and except as provided in the Barnstable County Home Rule Charter, the acts of the Assembly of Delegates are required to be by ordinance. Ordinances are brought forward to the Assembly of Delegates and then referred for review and discussion to a Standing Committee of the Assembly by the Speaker prior to receiving a recommendation from the committee for a vote by the full Assembly. The public has the opportunity to participate in the process when a proposed ordinance is scheduled for a public hearing by the appropriate Standing Committee. Delegates are appointed to serve on the Standing Committees of the Assembly. There are six Standing Committees of the Assembly of Delegates: •Economic Affairs: addresses economic development in Barnstable County •Finance: reviews the budget and looks at every major decision rendered by the Barnstable County government that has financial implications including inter- governmental fiscal policies and procedures •Governmental Regulations: address all matters relating to the Regional Policy Plan (committee composition consists of the Chairs of all other Standing Committees) •Health and Human Services: addresses matters relating to public health, social services and housing •Natural Resources: addresses matters relating to environmental matters •Public Services: addresses matters relating to public services Members of each Standing Committee will review the components of all proposed ordinances assigned to and under consideration by each appropriate committee prior to issuing a report to the full Assembly. 258 An important and significant responsibility of the Assembly is the review and adoption of the proposed FY budget that is submitted to the Assembly of Delegates by the Board of County Commissioners (executive branch of Barnstable County government). Standing Committees meet with department managers, review their budgets and programs, look at the goals and effectiveness of each program, and consider information that is gathered through the public hearing process prior to making a recommendation to the full Assembly for a vote. This budget process typically takes place between February and May of each year. During FY 2012 (July 2011 through June 2012), the Assembly of Delegates adopted ten ordinances (#11-08 and 11-09, and 12-01 through 12-06). A complete list of all ordinances adopted by the Assembly of Delegates is available upon request or can be viewed on the county website at http://www.barnstablecounty.org/assembly-of-delegates/ordinances.
