Beyond the usual excellent services to which we are accustomed, the Town has many projects in various stages of completion in order to enhance and improve those services. The Board of Selectmen thanks all the volunteers and staff that make this progress possible. Some projects have been completed in the past year. The Freeman's Pond culvert project has restored this important waterway and improved the health of the Paine's Creek marsh system. The Recycling Commission has led the implementation of Pay as You Throw, which despite some transitional challenges, has already greatly reduced our solid waste and will improve the environment and save the Town money going forward. We received a $400,000 state grant to help purchase open space land in West Brewster. Many other improvements have been implemented by the school department, the COA, the library, recreation, and others. The Natural Resources department received several awards, including a Gulf of Maine Council Visionary Award, and Chris Miller's Congressional Certificate of Special Recognition. We have many projects underway at this time. The landfill solar project has broken ground and will be producing energy by June. The Comprehensive Water Planning Committee is nearing the end of its critical work anticipating a report that projects to require minimal sewering. We are in the process of acquiring and projecting dozens more acres of open space, continuing a long- term strategy that by spending millions on open space, we will save hundreds of millions in wastewater mitigation. The Stony Brook School window project is in the process of implementing necessary improvements. Our Special Events permitting process will give our businesses greater flexibility in offering services to the town. The Golf Commission has made great strides in improving the finances of the operation and maintaining the excellence of the product offered. The bikeways, pathways, and cable TV committees are all working on program improvements. We expect to initiate several new projects in the coming year. We hope the plan for the new Firehouse will be approved this year. We anticipate that the Eddy school roof project will be approved and completed this summer. We plan to create a Government Study committee to examine our town's structure and operation. The pavement management process we have initiated promises to put us on a sustainable long-term program to improve our roads. We anticipate implementing a state mandate to regulate fertilizer use to reduce the nitrogen loading in our aquifer. We have created a committee to bring 1515 recommendations for long-term beach management. We expect to see a significant project initiated at the Tri-Town Septage Plant. This year projects to a difficult budget year with the loss of revenue due to the suspended Commerce Park energy project and the reduction of state land payments, but we believe we will close these gaps without asking for a budget override. However, if we are unable to find enough ways of controlling costs and enhancing revenue, we may have to contemplate such a strategy for FY 2016 or face significant reductions in services. The Board had a major transition this year as Ed Lewis and Dan Rabold stepped down, and Pat Hughes and Ben deRuyter joined the Board. The Board wants to recognize Ed and Dan for their excellent service on the Board and their many contributions to the town. As we enter 2014, Brewster is in a period of transition. We believe that we are on the path to a brighter and stronger future. Brewster is blessed with a great number of dedicated public servants and volunteers who work tirelessly to improve our operations. Together, we make Brewster the special community that we all so cherish. Thank you again for your ongoing support. John Dickson Chair, Board of Selectmen Peter Norton, James Foley, Pat Hughes, Ben deRuyter 1616 Some of my fondest memories of the last year stem from the extraordinary exchange opportunity that we had to host three fascinating government officials from Pakistan. Through the US Department of State, the Massachusetts Municipal Association and Institute for Training and Development in Amherst, MA, Ms. Shagufta Zareen (Lahore, Province of Punjab), Ms. Saima Khatian (Karachi, Province of Sindh), and Ms. Rukhsana Aziz (Dilikhan, Province of Khyber Pakhtunkwha) visited the United States for a 6 week period, which included a 2 week placement in Brewster. Some of the program objectives were to; help our guests develop an improved knowledge of local governmental systems and approaches in another democratic country; discuss strategies for countering corruption and building public confidence and civic participation; and to foster and develop professional and personal relationships. I believe it was a perspective altering exchange for our guests, as well as for several of us. Fortunately their visit to Brewster coincided with the 2014 Annual Town Meeting, which interestingly was centered on the utilization of town property for a Dog Park. 2013 was also a big year for infrastructure improvement projects. Through a combination of well-timed and well-written grant applications, Brewster was able to leverage a few hundred thousand dollars in local investments into over $1.2 million dollars of State and Federally-assisted capital improvements to rebuild the Stony Brook Millsites Dam and herring ladders; and replace the culvert between Paines Creek and Freemans Pond. These projects combined with efforts over the previous few years to acquire open space, eliminate storm water effluent, and expand tidal flushing within the Stony Brook Valley earned our Director of Natural Resources, Chris Miller, a Congressional Certificate of Special Recognition and the Gulf of Maine Council Visionary Award. The Department was also recognized by the Brewster Conservation Trust as “Conservationists of the Year” for their ability to organize and coordinate the efforts of multiple departments and volunteers to accomplish works that will have real and lasting benefits for our environment and our beloved herring run. Additional infrastructures improvements were made as various studies revealed that our elementary school buildings had a variety of building deficiencies. At the Stony Brook Elementary School, we carried out the first of a two phase project to replace a series of windows in the 1989 portion of this building that had failed and were leaking. We are currently working on a design and bidding process for the second phase, which will be presented to the 2014 Annual Town 1717 Meeting and projected to be undertaken in the summer of 2104. In addition design and engineering work is ongoing to allow for the replacement of failed heating and air-handling equipment, and a leaking roof at the Eddy Elementary School, which will also be presented to the 2014 Annual Town Meeting with construction projected for the summer of 2014. Finally we have also initiated a series of monitoring and safety system improvements at both schools to better protect our students and educational staff from the disturbing realities of a 21st Century where disaster prevention includes planning to protect against internal, as well as external threats. This effort was initiated and coordinated through the Police Department. We are finishing up the final testing of the new positive-air-pressure heating and ventilation system at the Department of Public Works offices and garage facility. That project included important improvements to energy efficiency and air quality, as well as the removal of an underground oil storage tank. The old oil-fired boiler was replaced by two high efficiency natural gas furnaces, along with the upgrading of the existing heat distribution systems and controls. The Town’s Well no. 6, located off Run Hill Road came into production this winter. This new $3.2 million variable speed drive well will produce 1.3 gallons per day of award-wining Brewster drinking water. The Water Department’s average daily demand was approaching 1.3 million gallons per day (MGD) and the maximum daily demand was 3.48 MGD. Based on these actual usage volumes, the Town was nearing its capacity to meet demand should one of our largest sources of domestic water go off-line for any number of reasons. Therefore, the Well no. 6 project was an important project in order to meet the future public water needs of our community. The Towns of Brewster, Orleans and Eastham originally entered into an inter- municipal agreement to construct and operate a septage treatment facility in Orleans in 1985, said agreement will expire in May of 2015. We have tentatively reached an agreement with all parties to extend this agreement until the end of calendar year 2016. Upon expiration of the agreement, the Board of Managers is required to dispose of all assets and demolish the facility, said costs, estimated in the amount of $1,500,000, will be shared equally among the three member towns. Brewster has cautiously started setting aside incremental “savings” toward either the demolition or possibly reconstruction of the existing facility, depending on the resolution we are able to work out with our partners. This year, Brewster voters are again considering how to best address the continued and growing needs of our emergency services operations. Over the past year, the Building and Needs Assessment Committee has been working with an architectural firm to complete an updated Fire Station feasibility study designed to determine the viability of renovating the current station versus building a new facility. The final report completed in July of 2013 concluded the 1818 most economical and efficient way for the Town to proceed would be to construct a new facility that would adequately meet the current and future needs of the Fire Department and the community. The November 2013 Special Town Meeting authorized $230,000 in funding to finance the first step in the process which includes the hiring of an owners project manager, conducting soil, wetlands, and other site analysis, hiring a project architect, developing site and facility design drawings and funding other anticipated project costs. Brewster continues to display exemplary environmental consciousness, as we initiated a “Pay as You Throw” (PAYT) unit-based pricing system for the disposal of solid waste. The Town reduced the price of the annual vehicle permit fee from $110 to $45 per household to cover the fixed costs of the Recycling Center/Transfer Station services. We established three different bag prices to reflect the handling cost of each bag (or volume unit) of waste. Recycling is offered free to permit holding vehicles. The strategy of the program is to create a cost disincentive to the act of putting recyclable items into the official disposal bags for general waste disposal. The program only started in October, but our initial solid waste data reflects marked reductions in total solid waste tonnage. We’ll continue to monitor the program, but we anticipate substantial savings in the Town’s solid waste disposal budget due to the implementation of this program. Throughout the year, financial planning, budgetary matters and Town Meeting preparation continue to absorb a great deal of time and effort. Where local receipts had rebounded somewhat reasonably in the last few years, growth was somewhat more modest this past year. In addition to flat local revenues, Brewster was significantly impacted by reductions in State Aid. We were surprised to learn that the State has revised its valuation calculation for the Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) program, funding that the State reimburses for the loss of property taxes and for services delivery expenses incurred by the Town for State owned land, which consists of largely the Nickerson State Park site. Revenue loss associated with this revaluation process is estimated in the amount of $160,000 annually. This revenue reduction comes at a time when another anticipated source of revenue was lost as well. Our Selectmen and I spent countless hours working with the Cape & Vineyard Electric Cooperative (CVEC) and state officials to salvage what we still believe could have been an extremely valuable green energy initiative project, but despite our best efforts, it appears as though the agreement to build a 4.6 MW Round 2 Solar installation project off Freemans Way has been terminated. We will need to compensate for the loss of the projected $200,000 in avoided electricity cost that the Commerce Park project would have generated. On a brighter note, the CVEC Round 1 Solar project at the Landfill is progressing as planned. This 4,602 panel photo-voltaic 1919 installation will generate 1.2 MW of electricity and will off-set almost 1/3 of the Town’s combined municipal load, generating savings of about $76,000 next year, which will escalate each year of the projects 25 year estimated lifespan. The new bathrooms at the Crosby Mansion will improve the capacity of that facility to host weddings and other special events, which is anticipated to generate additional revenue for the continued restoration of that wonderful historic state resource and to help support our local economy. We are continuing to talk with State officials about other park improvements that could be of mutual benefit and enhance the value of the State’s environmental and recreational resources. As always I would like to recognize the dedicated efforts of the staff in the Board of Selectmen’s Office, those being Jillian Douglass, Donna Kalinick and Susan Broderick. Brewster continues to be blessed by the contribution of hundreds of courageous, smart, creative and talented volunteers who provide countless hours of valuable service to the Town, which is appreciated more year after year.

Name Position Base Earnings OT All Other Grand Total 7786 To Whom It May Concern: It was another busy year in the Town Clerk’s Office; we held the Annual Town Election, a Special State Primary and a Special State Election. There also was the Annual/Special Town Meeting in May and the Special Town Meeting in November, along with processing over 3,800 returned 2013 Annual Town Census. The Town Clerk’s Office now acts as the Brewster Parking Clerk, collecting over $14,000 in parking fines. This year we implemented a postcard mailing, reminding citizens to register their dog, which led to over 100 additional dog licenses being issued. Licensing your dog is not only a benefit for a found dog, but also less worry on their owner who can be quickly located for a reunion. I would like to thank, Ted Nabywaniec, the Democratic Representative and Frank Smith, the Republican Representative of our Board of Registrars who dutifully worked for the citizens of Brewster towards the smooth running of the elections and Town Meeting. We processed 339 new voter registrations, 539 moved/deceased deletions, and 189 absentee ballots for the June election to name a few. I would like to thank Ellen St. Sure, our Town Archivist for her historical knowledge of the Town of Brewster and her generosity in sharing it. Thank you to Jayanne Sci, the Assistant Town Clerk, for her continued support to myself and the citizens of Brewster. I would also like to recognize Jayanne on her continuing education towards becoming a Certified Municipal Clerk. We have many people to thank for their support and assistance this prior year, to name a few; the Board of Selectmen; Charlie Sumner, Town Administrator, Thomas Thatcher, Building Maintenance Supervisor; Shawn Harris, Building Custodian; the Brewster Police Department; the DPW staff, for the set-up and dismantling of the election site; all of our co-workers, all of the election workers; and most importantly, the citizens of Brewster. Please remember to return your 2014 Annual Town Census, these census numbers are used for numerous projections throughout the year including but not limited to; Police resources, Fire/EMT resources and school projections.

If any structure is constructed, and any use of land established, or any existing use is changed after the effective date of this chapter, off-street parking spaces and loading areas should be provided in accordance with the Planning Board’s Policy on Off-Street Parking and Loading (“Policy”). 1. The purpose of this Policy is to acknowledge the wide variety of circumstances surrounding each use in Brewster and to provide a starting point for negotiations for parking areas and loading areas between the Planning Board and an applicant. 2. An existing structure which is enlarged, altered or extended, or an existing use which is extended after the effective date of this chapter shall use the Policy as a guide to provide off-street parking spaces and loading areas, unless the increase in units or measurements amounts to less than 25% of the total square footage on the site existing as of the effective date of this chapter, whether such increase occurs at one time or in successive stages. 3. The Planning Board will work with the applicant to determine the appropriate number of parking spaces and loading areas to be provided for a specific proposal. § 179-22. General Requirements. A. Parking spaces and loading areas being maintained in any district in connection with any existing use on the effective date of this chapter shall not decrease so long as said use remains, unless a corresponding number of parking spaces or loading spaces are constructed elsewhere, such that the total number of parking spaces and loading areas conforms with the Policy or is negotiated with the Planning Board based on the Policy. 118127 B. The parking spaces recommended for the uses listed in Table 1 of the Policy shall be on the same lot as the use they are intended to serve. 1. When practical difficulties prevent their establishment upon the same lot, they may be established no further than 300 feet from the premises to which they are appurtenant, and such spaces shall be located in the same zoning district as, or a zoning district that allows, the use that the off-site parking spaces are intended to serve. 2.

Off-street parking for a particular use may be fulfilled by the use of common off-street parking areas so long as the common area is located no further than 100 feet from the use it is intended to serve and that the total off-street parking provided is equal to that which would be determined through negotiations between the Planning Board and the applicant. 4.

(b) Any funds held in the custody of a city, town or district may be presumed by the city, town or district treasurer to be abandoned unless claimed by the corporation, organization, beneficiary or person entitled thereto within 1 year after the date prescribed for payment or delivery; provided, however, that the last instrument intended as payment shall bear upon its face the statement “void if not cashed within 1 year from date of issue”. After the expiration of 1 year after the date of issue, the treasurer of a city, town or district may cause the financial institution upon which the instrument was drawn to stop payment on the instrument or otherwise cause the financial institution to decline payment on the instrument and any claims made beyond that date shall only be paid by the city, town or district through the issuance of a new instrument. The city, town or district and the financial institution shall not be liable for damages, consequential or otherwise, resulting from a refusal to honor an instrument of a city, town or district submitted for payment more than a year after its issuance. 151160 (c) The treasurer of a city, town or district holding funds owed to a corporation, organization, beneficiary or person entitled thereto that are presumed to be abandoned under this section shall post a notice entitled “Notice of names of persons appearing to be owners of funds held by (insert city, town or district name), and deemed abandoned”.

If the apparent owner fails to respond within 60 days after the mailing or posting of the notice, the treasurer shall cause a notice of the check to be published in a newspaper of general circulation, printed in English, in the county in which the city or town is located. (d) In the event that funds appearing to be owed to a corporation, organization, beneficiary or person is $100 or more and the deadline as provided in the notice has passed and no claim for the funds has been made, the treasurer shall cause an additional notice, in substantially the same form as the aforementioned notice, to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the city, town or district is located; provided, however, that the notice shall provide an extended deadline beyond which funds shall not be claimed and such deadline shall be at least 1 year from the date of publication of the notice. (e) Once the final deadline has passed under subsection (d), the funds owed to the corporation, organization, beneficiary or person entitled thereto shall escheat to the city, town or district and the treasurer thereof shall record the funds as revenue in the General Fund of the city, town or district and the city, town or district shall not be liable to the corporation, organization, beneficiary or person for payment of those funds or for the underlying liability for which the funds were originally intended.

If it is not clear, based on a preponderance of the evidence before the treasurer at the time of the claim that the claimant is entitled to disbursement of the funds, the treasurer shall segregate the funds into a separate, interest-bearing account and shall notify the claimant of such action within 10 days. A claimant affected by this action may appeal within 20 days after receiving notice thereof to the district, municipal or superior court in the county in which the city, town or district is located.

TOWN CODE AMENDMENT / Control of Fertilizer Nutrient ARTICLE NO. 17: To see if the Town will vote to adopt Chapter 119, “Fertilizer Nutrient Control” as a new section of the Code of the Town of Brewster as follows: 119-1 . Purpose Mounting evidence supports the claim that excessive nutrient enrichment of the region’s groundwaters and surface waters may have significant public health significance. Direct effects on drinking water sources are well known and include the increased concentrations of nitrogen to levels that can violate the Safe Drinking Water Standards. The indirect public health effects expressed through surface water enrichment can be equally pronounced and include ecological alterations that can result in toxin algae blooms and the proliferation of human and animal disease organisms involving bacterial, fungal, myxozoa and insect vector pathogens. The Town recognizing that excessive use of fertilizers is part of the overall problem of nutrient pollution promulgates the following regulation regarding the use of fertilizer on turf. This regulation incorporates Best Management Practices which are supported by 161170 scientific research. These practices, if followed, are deemed to protect the public health and aid in achieving compliance with the Total Daily Maximum Loads (TMDL) for the Towns water resources prescribed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts while allowing reasonable use of fertilizers for the enhancement of turf quality. This bylaw is intended to conserve resources and protect the environment by regulating the outdoor application of nitrogen and phosphorus in order to reduce the overall amount of excess nutrients entering the town’s Resource Areas as defined in the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw (CH. 172-2, “Applicability”) and Brewster Wetland Protection Regulations, or from entering the Brewster Wetlands Conservancy District (CH. 179-6), the Brewster Floodplain District (CH. 179-7), and the Brewster Water Quality Protection District (CH. 179-53 thru CH.179-62). Reducing excess nutrients helps protect and improve water quality of valuable estuaries and ponds in Brewster and within our shared embayments. 119-2. Applicability 2.1. It is necessary and desirable to control by regulation in the Town of Brewster the use of fertilizer that contains phosphorus and nitrogen for the purposes set out herein. 2.2. This Bylaw allows for a reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus going into the Town’s waters and wetlands by means of an organized system of education, certification and regulation of practice. This Bylaw is not intended to eliminate the use of fertilizer but only to eliminate excess amounts of phosphorus and nitrogen from reaching our water and groundwater. This Bylaw adopts the Best Management Practices as the normal operating procedures for turf management throughout the Town 2.3. This Bylaw shall apply to turf management practices and to the application of fertilizer to turf within the Town, but not to plants other than turf. 2.4. This Bylaw shall serve as the Town’s Implementing Regulations pursuant to the Fertilizer Management District of Critical Planning Concern designation, Barnstable County Ordinance 13-07. 119-3.

On March 22, 2013, a “Meet Your Local Farmers” event allowed local farmers to showcase their product, promote their farms and kick off the 2013 growing season. Sponsored by the Harwich Conservation Trust and the Cape &Islands Farm Bureau, everyone was encouraged to attend in at the Harwich Community Center. The 2014 meeting will be on March 23rd. A few Brewster farmers remain 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. No local business has opened a Farmers Market in Brewster. Massachusetts Winter Moth Survey Have you seen moths flying around during late fall or early winter, or have you seen moths gathered at your porch light? You could be seeing an invasive species known as winter moth. Help us gather information about the distribution of these moths across Massachusetts. The results will be passed on to UMass Extension, where a research lab is working on a biological control that attacks winter moths. Click here for survey. Local Zoning Changes Massachusetts officials have now approved regulations addressing the cultivating process, advertising, and also where and how dispensaries that sell medical marijuana may be located. The State regulates where and how marijuana may be grown. Local entities, in this case the Brewster Planning Board, are responsible for drafting local regulations for dispensaries. 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. 171180 This year’s harvest brought in 199,880 oysters, a 4% increase over 2012 (192,150). For more information go to the Brewster Oyster website: www.brewsteroyster.com. There are also T-shirts and hats available on-line and at Town Hall. 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 shell fishermen. Cranberry Harvest On December 4, a group of Massachusetts growers, handlers, and researchers came together at the Carver Cranberry Station to discuss the 2013 growing season and upcoming challenges for 2014. Most agreed that a heavy bloom and good set led to expectations of a large harvest, but poor conditions in late June and July resulted in very small berries, with more rot than in 2012 equaling losses due to poor quality, and a crop that was down compared to 2012, which ended up 10-20% below expectation. “ This year was one of extremes: 25+ frost nights in the spring, followed by the 2nd wettest June in our records (more than 6 inches above average), very warm conditions from late June through July, followed by a 7-inch rain deficit from August through October. Extreme heat events in late June (near heat wave conditions) and the hottest July since 1926 stressed the plants. This may account for the early appearance of color on the fruit followed by an apparent shutdown in sizing. These conditions occurred during the infection period for fruit rot pathogens – causing problems with fruit quality. In late summer and into the fall, lack of rain became a challenge for many, with some growers having difficulty getting enough water for harvest.” (Cranberry Station Newsletter December 2013) There are approximately 51 acres of cranberry bogs in Brewster. Using the estimated state-wide average of 161 barrels per acre (down from 165.96 in 2012), the estimated harvest for Brewster would be 8,211 barrels or 821,100 pounds of cranberries for 2013. There are about 440 to 540 cranberries in a pound depending on the size of the berries, and 44,000 to 54,000 cranberries in a 100 lb. barrel. For more information go to www.cranberries.org. The Brewster Agriculture Commission works closely with the Cape Cod & Islands Farm Bureau which usually meets once a month. The Farm Bureau has been a grassroots organization on Cape Cod over the past 70 years. With the support of approximately 700 current members and associates, the Farm Bureau's goal has always been to make farming more profitable and the community a better place to live. This group offers assistance to farmers, as 172181 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. It also offers scholarships each year. 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. 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…..

What we attribute this to is cause for speculation. Whatever the reason, less taking by off shore sea herring fisheries, the new culvert at Route 6A, the new dam and run improvements or just a natural up swing. The increase is proven by the numbers provided by our herring run monitors. The Division of Marine Fisheries now uses these counts in their State wide assessment of river herring. Special thanks go to our dedicated fish counters. The majority of damage done by 2012 and 2013 storms has been cleaned up. Stone replacement as well as other projects will keep us busy in the coming spring. Workers from Americorp have again been instrumental in the cleanup project. Chris Miller and Ryan Burch from Natural resources, as well as Jim Gallagher from Conservation have a clear picture of future projects and goals for the run. Without their help as well as the help of all our volunteers our run would not be what it is today. Respectfully, Dana A. Condit, Chairman Members: William LeMaitre William Todd 174183 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, John Dickson, Selectman and Jim O’Leary, Finance Committee Liaison. • Accessibility of the Brewster Whitecaps facility was reviewed by Jeff Dougan, Assistant Director for Community Services, from MA Office on Disability. • The Dept. of Publics Work marked two designated handicap parking spaces at Drummer Boy Park. • The All Citizen’s Access Committee advised the Eddy School Playground Committee in planning an accessible playground to be built in 2014. • Accessibility at the Millsite was planned through the efforts of Dana Condit, Chairman of the Millsites Committee, and its members. • The building of the accessible platform at Linnell Landing was delayed due to the extensive erosion at all the town's beaches from the winter storms. It is hoped that it will be built for use in 2014. • The All Citizen’s Access Committee served in an advisory capacity to the Americorps Accessibility Project under the guidance of Ryan Burch of the Natural Resources Department. This project will culminate in a work day in May, 2014 during which a team of Americorps volunteers will improve or create accessibility to various recreational areas in the Town of Brewster. • This year, the All Citizen’s Access Committee said goodbye to Maureen and Bob Steinmann who served on the committee for the past six years (Maureen as Chair and Bob as a very active member).They have worked on projects improving accessibility at Drummer Boy Park, Town Hall, the Visitor’s Center and town beaches and worked to ensure CART (Communication Access Real-Time Translation) for hearing impaired at Town Meeting. The Committee welcomed new members Judy Miller and Roberta Murphy and Jim O’Leary as Finance Committee Liaison. The All Citizens Access Committee looks forward to an exciting 2014 with completion of the Americorps project. The Committee welcomes input from 175184 the citizens of Brewster and encourages citizens to come join us in our mission. Respectfully submitted, Claire Gradone, Chair Judy Miller Roberta Murphy Denise Rego, Secretary 176185 The Town Archivist writes essays, based on historical materials, which appear in the printed warrants prepared for town voters before each town meeting. In addition to several other on-going research projects, she is working on an Old Brewster website which should be available for public viewing later this year. Ellen St. Sure Town Archivist 177186 In 2013, the Triennial Revaluation was completed. This certified that our system for determining property valuations met the standards of the Department of Revenue’s Division of Local Services, and resulted in an increase of the total taxable value of the town of 1.9%, to $3,313,114,540, and a tax rate of $8.18 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation. The average value of a single family house in Brewster increased to $446,700. During 2013, in addition to the Triennial Revaluation, we completed the current phase of the Cyclical Re-Inspection Program, where data collectors from the pk Valuation Group re-measured and relisted 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. In 2014 we will continue the program, starting over with the first properties inspected in the last Cycle. The Department of Revenue requires re-measuring and relisting all property in the town every nine years. Senior Department Assistant Sandra Joseph became qualified as a Passport Acceptance Agent, so in 2013 she and Deputy Assessor David Tately processed almost 50 passport applications in addition to their regular assessing duties. Thank you to the Assessing Department staff, who continue their excellent service to the taxpayers of Brewster, real estate professionals and others who use the resources of the office. Thank you also to our consultant Paul Kapinos, and the data collectors and staff at pk Assessment Systems and pk Valuation Group, whose professionalism and skill help ensure the fairness and equity of our values. The cooperation and assistance of all of the other town departments, as well as the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee, is also greatly appreciated. Respectfully submitted, Board of Assessors G. Howard Hayes, Chairman Diane Salomone Belinda Eyestone, MAA 178187 *More involvement this year with Cape Cod Commission agenda. *Attended several meetings about Cape wide sign standards and placement. * Attended Cape wide bicycle summit with state leaders. * Initiated a "friends" group of local advisors. * Joined a new Friends of CCRT group that meets with Nickerson officials. * Marked places with Bob Bersin of DPW for new message board signs. * Met with Kyle Hinkle at Chamber of Commerce to sync with Brewster branding as Eco-Tourist destination. *Made contact with all bike shops on CCRT and distributed regional transportation maps to them. * Made several efforts to add to committee membership. * Attempted to involve local health departments to endorse bicycling as major health benefit.

The platform allows easier access through better organization and search abilities for programs and is compatible to all iOS devices, smart phones, PCs, iPad, iPhone, Droid, etc. • 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 Channel 22) and can be found in the minutes of Cable Advisory Board minutes on the town web site. Looking to 2014 BGTV will continue to expand and improve in 2014. I’m looking at improving the look of programming produced at town hall through energy efficient lighting systems and graphics softwares. In 2014 I intend to present a capital plan for the purpose of keeping the town TV facility current with the available technology in the years to come. It is my intention in 2014 to integrate and promote BGTV’s programming across social media platforms. To stay informed follow the town on Twitter: @brewstercapecod and on Facebook: Town of Brewster, Cape Cod. 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. BGTV and the additional access provided on the web for video content are a productive means in streamlining the legislative process for residents and seasonal residents alike. BGTV 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.

EDDY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ROOF AND HVAC REPLACEMENT PROJECT Eddy School was built in 1995. The roof has consistently leaked for quite some time and the HVAC system is not effective. In November, the Town of Brewster issued a Request for Proposal for a Feasibility Study to replace the roof and HVAC systems. A contract was issued to Habeeb and Associates to conduct this study. In December, the Feasibility report was presented to the BNAC by Steve Habeeb, architect for the study. Mr. Habeeb outlined the changes to the roof and HVAC system as well as an approximate construction cost. As a result, an Owner Project Manager will be needed as well as a Designer to create the plans and specifications for the project. Pending Spring Town Meeting approval, the project is slated to be underway by July of 2014. Stony Brook Elementary School Window Replacement Project The Town of Brewster has done a lot of work on this facility over the last few years. The original school was built in 1975, with an addition added in 1989. The windows in a significant portion of the 1989 addition were leaking and needed to be replaced. Charles Sumner, Town Administrator recommended undertaking this project in a phased manner. The goal was to hire an architect and obtain a bid prior to Spring Town Meeting. Town Meeting supported the funding of the window replacements. The construction started in July 2013. The Phase I window project was completed in August, 2013. The BNAC, Board of Selectman and School officials were very pleased with the work. Approximately forty five percent of the windows have been replaced. At the November, 2013 Fall Town Meeting, voters supported the funding for Phase II window replacements for the development of plans and specifications by late winter of 2014, as well as the receipt for a firm construction bid prior to the May 2014, Annual Town Meeting. 186195 Fire and Rescue Station Project In May of 2001, the Brewster Police Department occupied a new Police Facility. With the completion of the new Police Facility the Fire and Rescue Department occupied the previously shared facility. The structure was built in 1973 and expanded in 1985. In 2002, a proposal of four million dollars for the expansion and renovation of this critical facility was presented to Town Meeting. Unfortunately it failed to gain support for construction financing. In 2008, a Feasibility Study was conducted to evaluate the current condition of the building, as well as long term space requirements of the Fire Rescue Department. The study reviewed a series of building solutions that included renovating and expanding the current facility or constructing a new facility. An article seeking funding for detailed plans and specifications was going to be presented to the 2008 Fall Town Meeting; however it was postponed due to economic factors. In January of 2013, the BNAC was charged by the Board of Selectman to oversee an update of the Feasibility Study conducted in 2008. The firm of CDR Maguire has completed this study. A Fire Station sub-committee worked with Chief Robert Moran and Fire and Rescue Department members, along with CDR Maguire group. The final study is posted on the Town of Brewster’s website. The BNAC upon reviewing the options presented by the CDR Maguire group voted unanimously (7-0) on June 19, 2013 to build a new Fire and Rescue Station, to be constructed on the present parcel of land. In June, James Paul Ludwig, Video Services Director, Town of Brewster, presented an outline to the BNAC for the development of a video to support the case for a new Fire Rescue Station for the Town. Ralph Ingegneri, member of the BNAC was the producer. The goal of the video was to show the residents, the problems and inefficiencies of the current Fire and Rescue Station and how it is not conducive to being used as a Fire Station. The Video is on the Town’s website. On October 03, 2013, a citizen’s forum was held on the Fire and Rescue Department project. Selectman Ben deRuyter moderated the meeting. The Fall Town Meeting was held on November 18, 2013. The warrant article asked for $230,000.00 to fund moving forward toward building a new Fire and Rescue Station. Town meeting supported the article. Thank you to the 187196 residents, Board of Selectman and the Finance Committee for supporting this project. Soil Studies will be conducted, the BNAC will hire an Owner’s Project manager and architect for design services. Thank you to all the members of the BNAC for their volunteering, commitment and expertise in their effort to bring these projects to the Town. Special thanks to Ralph Ingegneri, BNAC member, and J.P Ludwig, Video Services Coordinator, Town of Brewster, for their efforts in producing and directing the video “The Need for a New Fire and Rescue Station” for the Town of Brewster. As always we thank the many committees for their support and the unselfish advocacy and assistance of Charles Sumner, Town Administrator in our efforts. I would be remiss in not acknowledging Susan Broderick, Administrative Supervisor and Donna Kalinick, Administrative Assistant, for their invaluable assistance in preparing the numerous documents and posting of agendas.

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 five priorities for this year: I. Wastewater Management: Refined the regional wastewater management plan and a “green infrastructure” siting tool; pursued pilot projects to better understand green approaches to treating wastewater and stormwater. The state directed the CCC to prepare an update to the 1978 Area-wide Water Quality Management Plan for Cape Cod. The goal is to work with citizen stakeholders to identify the most cost-effective, appropriately scaled and phased solutions on a watershed-by-watershed basis, focusing on the most severely impaired waters and the most easily and affordably implemented solutions while maximizing the use of existing infrastructure. II. Strategic Information Office:–Helped establish the Smarter Government Steering Committee and executed a data-sharing agreement with Cape towns to collaborate on opportunities for digital regionalization, regional solutions for services and products to increase governmental efficiency, decrease costs to taxpayers. An “ePermitting, Licensing, and Inspection System” would allow towns to issue/monitor permits, licenses, inspections, with a web-based portal for citizens/contractors. Staff and the vendor (Accela) are working with Chatham, Yarmouth and Nantucket on pilot project installations, beginning with inspection services and building/health permitting. III. Community Design Services: Design services focus on land use, streetscape, roadway, development patterns, transportation alternatives such as bicycle and pedestrian amenities, stormwater management, sustainable landscape design, and more. IV. Economic Development: This year the focus was on wastewater management planning in economic centers; continuation of the SmarterCape Initiative to promote the use of technology infrastructure that helps the 189198 region’s economy evolve from service-based to knowledge-based; and initial work on a comprehensive Cape Cod Canal area transportation study, which includes considering major congestion, safety, and community/ economic issues associated with the bridges and the rotaries. V. Regional Consensus: The CCC coordinated a number of ongoing planning and policy-making endeavors striving to achieve consensus across the region as well as helping towns prepare Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plans for FEMA certification and potential future funding. Fertilizer/Pesticide Spraying: Pesticide and Fertilizer Use Inventory (Study). A draft study released in fall 2013 found that nearly 6 million pounds of fertilizer and 1.3 million pounds of pesticides are applied across Cape Cod annually, with residential use representing the largest portion in each case. The report provides additional data about sources/amounts of nitrogen that contribute excess nutrients to the groundwater and eventually coastal waterways. It takes a comprehensive look at fertilizer/pesticide use on different land uses and concludes: • Pesticide use to manage utility rights-of-way accounts for 0-1% of Cape- wide pesticide use depending on the portion of the utility right-of-way sprayed each year. • Individual homeowners are the largest users of both pesticides (more than 70%) and fertilizers (more than 80%). • Golf courses are the second largest users of pesticides (8.7%) and fertilizers (15%). • Most non-residential pesticide users are regulated and applications can only be conducted by certified professionals. • Reduction in total use/improved management practices should focus on residential users. 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. Brewster specific activities included: Affordable Housing • Managed the Regional “Ready Renters” Program to fill affordable rental unit vacancies. • Comments to Zoning Board of Appeals for the “Brewster Landing”, a 31- unit Chapter 40B housing project off Underpass Road proposed by Cape View Development. 190199 Economic Development Updated the County Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) The County was approved by the U.S. Economic Development Administration as an Economic Development District, a regional geographic designation by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce for economic development planning, funding, and implementation. Geographic Information System (GIS) • Supported all of the above as necessary • Worked with The Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts to update open space data. • Provided support for on-going pond studies • Brewster signed on to the regional Aerial Flyover Project, a unified approach to aerial mapping photography developed and coordinated through the Commission. The cost to Brewster for a comprehensive mapping flyover is about $5,500, a savings of an estimated $20,000 had the town contracted its own flyover. Natural Resources and Land Protection • Coordinated Cape Cod Pathways, Fall Walking Weekend & Spring Walk • With Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts up-dated protected open space maps • Assisted in updating Local Multi-hazard Mitigation plan, a FEMA requirement. Historic Preservation • Conducted Annual Cape-wide Historic Preservation Workshop:” Tools for Preservation: Inventory, Structural Analysis and Partnerships” Transportation • Annual summer traffic counts, including 10 ATRs (automatic traffic recorders) and TMC (turning movement counts): roadway segments and intersections included Route 124, Route 137, Route 6 at the Brewster/Orleans town line, Route 6A , Airline Road, Freemans Way, Millstone Rd, and Satucket Road. Traffic data are available on line “ www.capecodcommission.org/departments/technicalservices/transporta tion/counts” Water Resources • Annual Pond and Lake Stewardship (PALS) freshwater ponds water- quality sampling snapshot: Blueberry, Cahoon, Canoe, Cliff, Cobbs, Elbow, Flax, Greenland, Griffiths, Higgins, Little Cliff, Mill, Myricks, Pine, Schoolhouse, Seymour, Sheep, Slough, Smalls, Sols, Upper Mill and Walkers Ponds. 191200 • Assisted Comprehensive Water Management Planning Committee As part of the Section 208 Water Quality Management Plan Update, staff prepared a chronology of water quality improvement efforts in Brewster over the past 40 years. A final version of the wall-sized chronology was provided to the town for its use. Waste Management • Compiled data and background materials for Regional Wastewater Management Plan. Brewster faces many challenges as we approach capacity. How we preserve and protect what we cherish the quiet rural beauty, historic character, wild-lands, the water supply, watershed areas and critically now…how we deal with our wastewater and stormwater, as well as climate change – will determine the character and future of our community and the entire Cape region. 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 192201 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 2013 the Charge of the Brewster Pathways Committee was amended by the Brewster Selectmen to allow minimal use of the Cape Cod Rail Trail to help connect the Pathways Trail into Nickerson State Park. Also in 2013, members of the committee continued to lead walks as part of the Cape Cod Pathways Walking Weekend and Cape Walk programs. Members of the Pathways Committee also participated in Brewster Conservation Day and the Orleans Celebrate our Waters event. The Pathways Committee continues to coordinate 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 participation at our meetings.

Sullivan, Brewster School Committee Representative to CCRTHS Celeste Cash, Brewster School Committee Representative to CCRTHS 196205 Dear Brewster Citizens – During the Great February Blizzard of 2013 The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) working with our Fire and Police Departments served the Town of Brewster tremendously in transporting those in need to Emergency Shelters. During the February 8th Storm the CCRTA cape wide transported over 900 people to and from shelters. This incident indicates that CCRTA is an important part of emergency operations and planning. As an active participant in the Barnstable County Emergency Planning Committee the CCRTA has developed operational plans for various emergency situations to serve the towns. The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) has provided in Brewster 16,097 one-way passenger trips from January 2013 through December 2013. In 2012 there were 14,455 riders. 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. The Flex schedules provide for great connections and convenience with the H2O (Orleans to Hyannis) and Provincetown shuttle. Extended hours this year have provided great flexibility in riding. 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. For those people living in South Brewster or working at the Peasant Bay Facilities the H2O line (Orleans to Hyannis) provides Flag Stop service on Route 39. Brewster ridership on the Flex route for this year from January to December 2013 was 7,769 people which are the total of riders who boarded the buses in Brewster; this does not include people arriving from other towns. This total was over 1,000 more riders getting on the bus in Brewster than in 2012. Total Flex ridership for all seven towns was 79,107. The Flag Stop pick up in Brewster makes it very convenient to “catch a bus.” The DART (Old B-bus) Service for Brewster people added up to 4,673 trips.166 people enjoyed the use of this service. In 2012 there were trips. Total DART passenger trips in the fifteen towns of Cape Cod were 215,267 in 2013 197206 compared to 188,195 in 2011. The DART provides an excellent door to door way for anyone to get around I can say from personal experience. The Boston Hospital Transportation service provided 31 Brewster residents with 125 one-way trips. The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority provides the Brewster Council on Aging a Mobility Assistance Program (MAP) vehicle that provided 3,655 rides in 2013. This compares with 3,392 rides in 2012. “Use the Third Bridge, Ride the Train” was a total success for the CapeFLYER this past summer. The train service was even extended form Labor Day to Columbus Day. With over 16,000 riders the rail initiative to provide a way to get to the Cape and Islands without fighting traffic exceeded all expectations. It more than paid for itself by $100,000. Starting Memorial Day weekend this year the CapeFLYER will ride the rails again. This time the schedule will provide a great way for us to go to Boston for the day or weekend. Watch for the exciting announcements. 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 198207 Wastewater management continued to be the primary focus for the Collaborative this year. The discussions focused on the evaluation of a regionalized approach to wastewater management and the potential savings offered by regional watershed based approach and a thorough vetting of alternative management approaches. 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. In January 2013, Barnstable County, acting through the Cape Cod Commission, was directed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to prepare an update to the 1978 Section 208 Area-Wide Water Quality Management Plan for Cape Cod. This plan will be a comprehensive Cape-wide review of water quality issues facing the region, but will focus initially on nutrient management and water quality planning for Cape Cod’s coastal embayments. The Commonwealth provided $3 million to accomplish this task with the condition that a draft plan be completed within 12 months. A of the work plan is available here: http://www.capecodcommission.org/resources/initiatives/208workplan.pdf. The Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative recently reinstated monthly Governing Board meetings and reconstituted its Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to provide input into the 208 Plan Update. The TAC was a key player in the review and shaping of the technologies matrix that formed the basis for the evaluation of appropriate management techniques. In addition, a Regulatory, Legal, and Institutional (RLI) Work Group, with representation from DEP, EPA, the Cape Cod Commission, the Army Corps of Engineers and other State and Federal partners, will address the potential need for regulatory reform and other challenges associated with planning and implementation. Other ad hoc committees will be established, as necessary. The Collaborative, through its Executive Director, is fully involved and engaged in this effort The Commonwealth expects the 208 plan and its underlying analysis to reflect the County’s focus on the individual watersheds of each embayment as the most logical management unit on which to base water quality planning. It is widely expected that watershed based planning will provide management solutions that are less costly and require less infrastructure to be built than conventional planning efforts may recommend. The ongoing lawsuits between the Conservation Law Foundation and the United State Environmental Protection Agency remain unresolved as of this 199208 writing. The Collaborative continues to actively monitor the progress of the litigation. 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 2013. Andrew Gottlieb, Executive Director Susan Leven, AICP, Brewster Representative 200209 Brewster Representative – Deane Keuch “After retiring as an energy conservation engineer in New York, I was appointed to continue those efforts by serving on the Cape Light Compact Governing Board. I enjoy the 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 as the fuel is used to produce more than half of the region’s electricity. While New England’s consumption of natural gas continues to increase for generating electricity and for heating, there has not been a corresponding increase in pipeline capacity into the region. Due to the constrained pipeline capacity and a new “Winter Reliability Program” that will help avoid a natural gas shortage, electricity pricing for the first half of 2014 will increase substantially. These prices may come down somewhat in the second half of 2014. In 2013, 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 the most recent count, the Compact had 5,990 electric accounts in the Town of Brewster on its energy supply. Customers have a choice as to which power supplier they wish to engage, and are able to opt out of, the Compact’s supply at any time with no charge. The Compact encourages customers to be aware of competitive electric markets, and to be well informed consumers. CONSUMER ADVOCACY Since 1997, Cape Light Compact has advocated for the ratepayers of Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard at the local, state and federal level. This consumer advocacy has saved customers over $142 million and the Compact is currently fighting to prevent an additional $20 million rate increase to residential customers. 201210 ENERGY EFFICIENCY 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: • Two Government projects in Brewster were funded $1,710 to implement energy efficiency efforts saving 11,513 kWh. Brewster Government entities including the Cape Cod National Golf Course and the Brewster Elementary School received energy efficiency incentives and technical assistance from Cape Light Compact and CLC consultants in 2013. The demonstration phase of the LED Streetlights Initiative was also funded in the Town of Brewster for the amount of $1,150.88, saving 2,985 kWh annually. • Brewster saw an active year in the efforts of energy educational outreach. Mr. Rafe Torres, 5th grade teacher from the Eddy School continued to lead his 5th grade team of energizers in a series of Energy Carnivals that brought the world of energy efficiency, renewable energy and the science of energy to students at Station Ave Elementary School, Ezra Baker School, and the Eddy School through the assistance of the Compact’s Energy Education Program.

Kai Nalenz our stone conservator completed work on the removal of cement from three gravestones in First Parish/Breakwater cemetery. This project was funded by Community Preservation funds which over the past few years have enabled the BCC to undertake more complex restoration projects. Every week over the past summer the BCC was able to have a working team cleaning, straitening and grounds keeping. The Brewster Cemetery Commission is made up of five members and at least three members were able to meet weekly in one of our historical cemeteries for work. The Town of Brewster voted at town meeting to engineer and place granite markers in the Brewster Memorial Cemetery. This will offer the town more burial sites, enough for the next fifteen to twenty years. Brewster Memorial Cemetery is a large track of land and will take the town into the next century for burial sites. Submitted by Joan Carstanjen Cemetery Commissioner Norma Modzelewski Janet Hicks Richard Lockyer Tom Rogers 203212 Now in its ninth 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. Until 2007, the state provided a 100% match, thereby doubling the amount which the Town could spend in the designated areas. The state match for CPC funds declined each year between 2008 and 2011, initially to 67% then as far as to 25%. In 2012 and 2013 it has risen again, and is now back up to approximately 67%. When Brewster Town Meeting approved the Community Preservation Bylaw it provided for expenditure in the following areas: ¾ Open Space Acquisition - 50% ¾ Historic Preservation -10% ¾ Community Housing -10% ¾ Historic Preservation, Community Housing, or Recreation - 30% The CPC reviews applications for funding and considers recommendations from the Open Space Committee, Recreation and Historic Commissions, the Housing Partnership and the CPC’s own Housing Sub-Committee before submitting articles for consideration by Town Meeting voters. The CPC inherited an existing land purchase program enacted under prior state legislation providing for a Cape Cod Land Bank. In addition the CPC inherited responsibility for several long term bonds issued by Brewster to finance prior purchases, and the Town has issued additional bonds for three purchases since 2006, but the level of indebtedness on land purchases is relatively unchanged since the CPC was formed. Land bond payments are from CPC funds. As a part of acquiring open space parcels, the Town standardly applies for State Land Grants. Between 2007 and 2012 the state approved individual land grant reimbursements totaling $3.77 million on six of the eight land purchases made, resulting in a net cost to the Town of less than 25% of the purchase price. More recently, less funding has been available, making individual land 204213 grants harder to obtain, increasing the portion of cost the town must bear to closer to 50%. In contrast to Open Space, the CPC had approximately $2 million carry-over balances available as 2013 began, for Historic Preservation, Community Housing and Recreation. One project was approved at the May 2013 Town Meeting: 1. Recreation: $200,000 Eddy Elementary School Playground Project- to redesign and improve the existing playground to create a safe, innovative, accessible and visually appealing recreational play space. Three projects were approved at the November 2013 Town Meeting: 1. Community Housing: $600,000 Habitat for Humanity – for acquisition of land and pre-development expenses for development of deed-restricted affordable homes for private ownership by income eligible buyers. 2. Community Housing: $600,000 Brewster Housing Authority (BHA) - the award was to provide the local funding necessary for the Brewster Housing Authority’s Brewster Woods development, a proposal which will involve the new construction of 50 affordable family rental units on BHA land. With state approval up to 70% of these units could be reserved for individuals and households who live or work in Brewster. 3. Recreation: $ 39,400 Eddy Elementary School Playground Project – Since the initial application, the Playground subcommittee improved the accessibility design of the playground via ramps and by adding wheelchair-accessible components. In addition the CPC made a $30,000 grant under a prior $300,000 authorization to buy-down the price for a qualified buyer to purchase a home. This year two members resigned; Leonard Avery, the Brewster Housing Authority representative and Terry Ryder, a Citizen Member. We wish to thank both of them for the time and energy they devoted to serving on our committee. The CPC welcomed new members, Dion Dugan, Brewster Housing Authority representative and William Klein, Conservation Commission representative. 205214 Jeanne Boehm who had been the Conservation Commission representative switched to being a Citizen Member. We thank her for remaining on the committee. The Community Preservation Committee is dedicated to the important work of helping make Brewster a better place to live through support of appropriate projects in Historic Preservation, Community Housing, Recreation and Open Space Acquisition.

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. In early 2013, CWPC worked with its consultant, Horsley Witten Group (HWG), to produce the Phase II Report. CWPC also finalized the scope of Phase III, and with funds authorized at 2013 spring and fall Town Meetings, contracted with HWG to conduct the Phase III study. Phase III will be complete in mid-2014. On publication, all reports are available to the public on the Town’s web site. 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. The Town is currently taking action on the recommendations in the Phase II report. 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) Analyzed 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) Evaluated 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) Conducted a preliminary retrofit analysis to identify stormwater improvements that will provide water quality treatment and reduce impacts on 208217 receiving waters, and identifies improvements to the Town’s regulations to better manage stormwater across the Town; 4) Further evaluated fresh water pond impacts in Town, and made recommendations for how the Town and pond shore residents can minimize phosphorus inputs to the ponds that have a direct impact on water quality. Phase III The Town contracted with HWG in 2013 to conduct Phase III, which is due to complete in June 2014. The third phase will build on the analysis and findings of work to date. Wastewater 1) Analyze, select, and produce implementation plans for alternatives for nitrogen reduction in the Pleasant Bay Watershed. These alternatives were: • Fertilizer reduction at golf courses • Fertilizer reduction by residents: a by-law • Advanced N treatment systems • Orleans connection to their proposed WWTF • Purchasing connections of homes in Orleans • Alternative toilets • Cluster/neighborhood treatment systems • Irrigation well(s) to capture N and return it to beneficial use • PRB to treat groundwater • Shellfish propagation 2) Additional work includes: • Draft Board of Health regulations for septic system management Two meetings with Board of Health conducted, regulations being drafted • Analyze nitrogen loading in the Herring River Watershed This will be covered in 2014, since the final MEP report for the Herring River watershed was not completed until late in 2013. • Plan a pilot permeable reactive barrier project Planned for 2014, perhaps in cooperation with neighboring towns. • Draft Planning Board Stormwater Regulations and finalize a regulatory program, including phosphorus management Met with Planning Board, regulations being drafted Ponds 1) Conduct rapid watershed assessment for up to five ponds Schoolhouse Pond complete, Slough and Sheep ponds to be studied in 2014 2) Management plan for the Mill Ponds Complex To be provided in 2014 209218 3) Conduct outreach to property owners on pond Materials produced, first meeting held January 11, 2014 Public Outreach 1) Produce informational brochures on water quality issues, maintain the CWPC website, and conduct public meetings. Ongoing. Three Public Meetings held in 2013, and HWG participated in events including Brewster Conservation Day; staff represented the Committee at the Lower Cape Expo. 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, the Conservation Administrator, and the Health Director attend and contribute to CWPC meetings regularly. The Board of Selectmen’s CWPC Liaison attends most meetings. The Finance Committee CWPC liaison also attends meetings. The CWPC Chair presented a status report to BOS and the Finance Committee. The Town Administrator attends CWPC meetings periodically and is a key advisor on issues such as the Tri- town septage plant, procurement, contracts and intra/inter-town relationships. Pleasant Bay: CWPC and Town Staff are working with Chatham, Harwich, and Orleans to develop mutually beneficial solutions for this shared watershed. 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, 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): CWPC maintains regular communication with the CCCGA. Pleasant Bay Alliance (PBA): CWPC members and staff attend PBA presentations and continue mutual communication. HWG conducted the recent Fertilizer Study for the PBA. 210219 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. Cape Cod Commission 208 Plan Working Groups Several CWPC members, and Town Staff, participate. Membership Adam Curtis and Paula Miller were appointed to fill vacancies during 2013. Chair and Secretary were re-elected to their positions, and David Bennett was elected Vice-Chair. Respectfully submitted, Lemuel Skidmore, Chair, Board of Health Adam Curtis David Bennett, Vice-Chair, Secretary Paula Miller Bruce Evans, Conservation Commission John O’Reilly Elizabeth Taylor, Planning Board Daniel Ryan Russell Schell 211220 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 strives to work with property owners to resolve enforcement matters, and if necessary to restore environmentally sensitive resource areas. Sometimes this is not possible, and the MA Department of Environmental Protection and the Barnstable County and Orleans District Court Systems become involved. 2013 was no exception, but the Commission did resolve many cases with property owners. Penalties are issued as a reminder to property owners that wetland laws are there to protect the natural resource areas. In 2013 the Commission adopted the long standing dock policy as regulation, and future revisions/updates to the by-law will be made in 2014. This year was the Commission’s busiest ever, with more wetland filings than in any past year. Also, the Commission held numerous hearing continuances, due to the complex nature of the filings Cape Cod was hit with a major coastal storm on or about February 8, and erosion on town beaches was significant. This led to the MA Department of Environmental Protection issuing a Severe Weather Emergency Declaration, which allowed certain coastal repair projects until March 1, without the standard wetland permitting. Approximately 50 emergency requests were filed in Brewster for the many coastal properties damaged by storm force winds and high tides 212221 The Herring Run at Stony Brook renovation project was completed in July 2013. The Paines Creek culvert project was delayed due to circumstances beyond control. It was completed in October, and the improved tidal flow into Freemans Pond has improved the pond environment significantly. Steve McKenna, our long-serving Chairman and Commissioner, stepped down and is now a regular member of the Commission. Paul Wightman is now the Chairman, bringing extensive knowledge to the table. Bruce Evans is the Vice- Chairman. All committee members should be applauded for their commitment and hard work in this extremely busy year. Gratitude should also be extended to Jim Gallagher our Conservation Administrator, and Carol Spade, our Administrative Assistant. They both worked tirelessly and always provided information for site visits, schedules and meetings precisely. Chris Miller, Natural Resources Director and Ryan Burch, his Assistant, are to be commended on their field work and managing of the extensive properties that fall under their command.

First, three of our local inns became ‘verified green’ under the Cape & Islands Green Business program attracting several travel writers and a TV production company that focus on ecotourism. Second, the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History did market research of their audiences in August 2012 and learned that their main attraction was the programming they present in the natural surroundings of the marsh and Cape Cod Bay: the type of activity attractive to eco-tourists. In October 2012 the Chamber partnered with a local economist to conduct a survey of the Chamber’s members to learn their interest in supporting ecotourism. 100% of respondents felt that this re-branding was a good idea and a case statement was presented to the members in November. What followed was the development of a Sustainability Plan, drafted by the economist with input from the Chamber’s executive director. This 5-year plan was completed in January 2013 and unanimously approved by the Chamber’s board of directors. It was presented to the Town of Brewster’s Board of Selectmen in March where it was learned some of the initiatives suggested in the Plan were already being considered by the Town. In June 2013, the Chamber commissioned a special logo created to go with the ecotourism campaign: a green heart-shaped recycle symbol that is being used in a variety of combinations that say “I love Brewster.” Ecotourism Defined Ecotourism is broadly defined as “sustainable travel.” Brewster’s unique natural assets of more than 5,000 acres of conservation land with walking and biking trails; salt and fresh water beaches; ponds and forests set the backdrop for the eco-tourist’s experience. The town’s cultural assets include world class attractions such as a natural history museum; awarding winning live theatre; renowned artists and chefs; historic architecture that is now used as 5-star inns; farms and education facilities; and a history rich in tales of merchant sea captains. On a personal level, ecotourism means supporting the local community and respecting the natural environment. How can one participate? Some ways include: 214223 • Shop locally! For every $1 spent with a local business 68 cents comes back to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. Compare this to doing business with a national chain, where only 43 cents comes back, or doing business online where that return is ZERO! Brewster has many small businesses, the majority that are owned and operated by Brewster residents, providing goods and services of all kinds. • Strive for “zero waste” at home and in business. Recycle and compost. And try pre-cycling where, before making a purchase, you consider what will happen to that item when you’ve used it up, or no longer need or want it. Can it be broken down into recyclable parts, or go to the local thrift or swap shop? • Respect our natural environment. The success of our local economy is tied to Cape Cod’s natural beauty. Adopt a “pack it in – pack it out” policy when visiting the beach; riding or walking the Cape Cod Rail Trail or other trails; and when visiting our cultural attractions such as Stony Brook Grist Mill or Drummer Boy Park.

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. 216225 The Council on Aging (COA), a department of the Town of Brewster, is located in the Senior Center, which is an historic building built in 1881 located at 1673 Main Street. The COA’s mission is to enhance the dignity and well-being of our Brewster seniors. The COA staff is available to link our seniors to many services and to give them support. 39% of Brewster citizens are over the age of sixty, making the mission of the COA extremely important. We continue to strive to provide exceptional care to our seniors by offering them the quality services and programming they deserve. Staffing: The COA has 3 full-time employees: director, administrative assistant and a bus driver. The COA has 4 part-time employees: one19-hour per week senior clerk, two 19-hour per week outreach workers and a one 8-hour per week bus driver. Through the Commonwealth of MA’s Formula Grant, we have funding for a 21-hour program/volunteer coordinator, as well as 8 additional hours for the part-time bus driver. Elder Services’ Mature Workers Program provides us with a 16-hour receptionist. Programs/Services: The COA provides a wide selection of services in accordance with the needs of our seniors, such as: consumer and community education; exercise and wellness programs; recreation, health screening and social events; and daily lunches at the COA or via Meals on Wheels. In addition to on-going programs throughout the years, there are special events and seasonal social functions, many of which involve our local schools and other town departments. For more information, please stop in to pick up a current newsletter, “Bayside Chatter” or check us out on the Town’s website: http://www.town.brewster.ma.us/departments-mainmenu-26/council-on- aging-mainmenu-35 Grants: Commonwealth of MA’s Formula Grant provides us with funding to help out with needs such as employees and supplies. Elder Services’ Title III funding helps us with mileage reimbursement for volunteer drivers. Other grants provide the opportunity for specific outings for homebound seniors as well as medical supplies to help seniors with mobility issues. Volunteers: Volunteers allow us to provide vital services to the COA: banking assistance, computer classes, financial planning, legal help, S.H.I.N.E. (Serving Health Insurance Needs of the Elderly) representatives, community garden cleanup 217226 crew, food distribution, kitchen help, medical equipment shed maintenance, Meals on Wheels delivery, medical appointment transportation, newsletter assembling, and the Sea Captains Thrift Shop. Last year, 120 volunteers provided 4,383 hours of service, which are equivalent to about 2 ½ full time employees. Friends of Brewster Elders (F.O.B.E.): The COA is most grateful to the financial support given by the Friends of Brewster Elders. This organization supports many of our programs and subsidizes several “get together” lunches on various holidays, ice cream socials and dinner and game nights. They also provide entertainment events to our seniors throughout the year. The Friends also manage our Sea Captains Thrift Shop, which last year moved to the old Water Department building behind the Senior Center. 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 Saturdays from 10:00am until 3:00pm, March through December. Memorial/Honorary Donations: Donations to the Senior Center are used solely for the benefit of our Brewster seniors. Brewster artist Karen North Wells has painted a mural of Paine’s Creek in the Senior Center and it is used to display memorial and honorary donations. Please stop in to see this beautiful mural and to obtain more information. The Council on Aging is ready to assist Brewster seniors in any reasonable way. Should you have a need for advice on senior services, please call us at the Senior Center at 508-896-2737, Mondays through Fridays from 8:00am to 4:00 pm.

The Garden Club considered this the best ever for attendance and for the great comments by the hundreds of visitors. We were in awe of the creativity and beauty shown by the team of each room. Our Properties Manager, Brian, who worked tirelessly with them, said they were a constantly enthusiastic group, and it certainly showed. We know this will be a rewarding fund raiser for both the Garden Club’s scholarship fund as well as for the Crosby Mansion, and we thank all of you who supported such a positive function for the community and for us. Our 2013 cottage rental season was excellent. We made improvements to both cottages to keep them up to date and appealing. The ranch has newly painted bedrooms, restoration to the old existing outdoor shower, new dining room area chairs, a new picnic table and a new gas grille. The bungalow has replacement windows on the north side and interior painting in two bedrooms. Having the rental funds from these two gems means the Crosby Mansion will safely prosper for years. The exterior of our new bathroom addition has been completed. The Cape Tech students installed the basic plumbing and basic electricity which was a tremendous job and has been approved by our state building inspector. Unfortunately the Tech had to move on to other projects and we will miss their enthusiasm and their laughter. The remainder of work is being completed by both licensed contractors and volunteers with a completion date of late spring 2014. Once again 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 open houses every first and third Sundays in July and August to tell visitors all the history of the Crosby’s and of this remarkable building. The pride all of us 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, Advisory Committee Chair Brian Locke, Crosby Mansion Properties Manager 219228 The Brewster Cultural Council, made up of volunteers appointed by the Brewster Board of 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 2013, the Brewster Cultural Council received $3850 to award for cultural programs. The Council received 20 LCC applications and approved 13. Successful applicant projects included: Cape Cod Opera school outreach program, Eventide Arts’ Festival, the Meeting House Chamber Music Festival’s Summer Chamber Music Series, 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, the Arts and Alzheimer’s Initiative of the Cape Cod Alzheimer’s Services, Cape and Islands Community Development Project and two special children’s programs at the Brewster ladies Library. In addition, the Council sponsored and organized the sixth Brewster “Literary Evening,” readings by Brewster writers in October, 2013, our annual Art Exhibit of Brewster Artists in March, 2013, and in May, 2013 our very first Musical program. All were 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 Sharon Leder for her many years of service and for her valuable contributions to the work of the Council. 220229 Respectfully submitted, Ralph Marotti - Chairperson Susan Daly – Secretary Joan Swaluk– Treasurer Maureen Callahan Claire Gradone Benton Jones Nancy Phillips Milton Teichman 221230 On February 9, 2013 winter storm Nemo required the opening of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to coordinate community response to the event. During the storm the LEPC group and Town employees faced severe challenges in the areas of emergency response, sheltering, flooding and beach erosion, FEMA reimbursement requirements, and the transportation of residents to and from the regional shelters. While all of these tasks were managed appropriately by staff many lessons were learned during the event that will serve as a foundation for operational, resource, and staffing based improvements to our emergency response plan. Throughout the year members of the Local Emergency Planning Group continued their progressive and effective posture of ensuring the safety of our residents through a number of dynamic local and regional initiatives. 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 emergency incidents, severe weather events, public health issues or disasters that may occur within our region and community. The group also continued to work cooperatively and shares resources with the Cape Cod 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. In addition, I am pleased to report that our annual operational evaluation conducted by Barnstable County during the Health Departments flu clinic once again revealed a high level of operational effectiveness and disaster response readiness. One of the highlights of 2013 was the hosting of a dynamic, new training program encompassing the development, set-up, and operation of a local Emergency Operations Center (EOC). During the course attending LEPC members and other town personnel were provided with in-depth information regarding the operational strategies and tactics required to deliver effective customer service and emergency response from an EOC environment. Based on the success of this exceptional interactive training session plans are being developed to bring additional emergency management training from MEMA to our community. Also during the year the Office of Emergency Management received an EMPG Grant from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This $2,900.00 award funded our second annual Table Top exercise. This year’s training exercise 222231 involved the real time management of multiple emergency incidents that could occur within Town during a Category 3 hurricane. During the program attending LEPC members and other first response personnel were challenged to develop emergency response plans and implement strategies and tactics designed to mitigate the presented emergencies. This was an excellent program that provided outstanding training to the LEPC members. Some other highlights of the committee’s efforts in 2013 include: • Participated in the Health Departments annual flu clinic. • Purchased road diversion equipment to enhance response readiness • Participated in the review of new FEMA flood maps • Assisted Conservation Department with public notification of properties affected by the new FEMA flood maps • Funded and coordinated the construction of an emergency access road between local schools • Received emergency response reimbursement (Phase 1) from FEMA in the amount of $27,000 for Town wide expenses incurred during Winter Storm Nemo • Hosted Incident Management (IMS) training for town employees 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 223232 The Brewster Energy Committee had a very busy year in 2013. The ConEdison solar installations at the Town’s 2 elementary school buildings continue to provide about $12,500 in savings each year, by producing electrical energy that is used “behind the meter” to avoid the need for the schools to purchase that electrical power directly from the grid. There was one storm interruption at the Stony Brook Elementary School due to storm damage, but that outage was quickly corrected. After years of negotiations through CVEC with American Capital Energy Incorporated (ACE), a groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 14th to celebrate the commencement of construction of the1.3 MW ground-mounted solar array on top of the Town’s capped landfill. Weather permitting, it is anticipated that the project should begin producing electricity in the Spring of 2014. This project is anticipated to offset about ½ of the Town’s municipal electrical demand, generating from $90,000 to $100,000 in savings to the Town in FY 15 In December, the Board of Selectmen finalized the contract for CVEC’s “Round II” 4. 6 MW solar installation at the Town’s Commerce Park site. When activated, this project is currently anticipated to, not only offset the Town’s full municipal electric load with green energy, but to also generate about $4.5 million in savings to the Town over the course of the 1st twenty (20) years of the project. Through the Cape Light Compact, the Town is participating in a Cape- and Vineyard-wide program to replace the Town’s 106 municipally-owned High- Pressure Sodium Vapor street lights with new high-efficiency Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures. The new fixtures are designed to improve night-visibility and reduce both energy and maintenance costs. The program is designed to have no direct cost to the Town, by capturing ratepayers’ contributions to the State Energy Efficiency Fund and directing them back to our region for long term savings. Starting the Spring of 2014, Brewster is expected to save about $5,000 per year. The fixtures will carry a 10-year warrantee and are expected to last well over 20 years. The Energy Committee continues to work with other departments to develop energy-saving programs. The Committee is currently providing input to the Town’s design of a new Fire Station and to the replacement of the Eddy School HVAC system, now under consideration. 224233 Through the monitoring efforts of our member, Rich Wolf, the BEC has been tracking the Town’s energy usage for the past 5 years. The Town’s overall electricity consumption was down from last fiscal year by 72,168 kWh. That is a about a 3% reduction. Natural Gas consumption is up by 10,168 CCF from last year, but this is attributable to conversion of the Town Hall and the DPW heating systems from oil to gas. Overall natural gas consumption is on a par with FY 2011 while fuel oil consumption is down due to the Town’s systematic conversion of facilities to higher efficiency Natural Gas HVAC systems.

Each member serves a three year term and those 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 Spring and Fall Town Meeting warrants. The Finance Committee is independent of the elected and appointed administrators of the Town. The Finance Committee’s responsibility is to review all business to come before Town Meeting and to recommend to the voting taxpayers the best guidance for their actions at Town Meeting. Committee members also attend other town board’s meetings as liaisons, and spend significant personal time reviewing and evaluating department budgets. The Finance Committee controls a reserve fund of $98,000.00, an emergency relief fund for any town department that may request funding from an unforeseen and unexpected shortfall in their operating budget. The Captains Golf Course budget submitted to the Finance Committee reflected a financial loss and adding to the long term debt for capital expenditures. In an effort to reduce the financial burden to the taxpayers we submitted an alternative budget at Town Meeting. Our proposal was defeated. Our review of the Capital Budget submittal for addressing “sinkholes” on the original 18-hole course resulted in a revised fiscal solution that reduced the overall interest costs saving the taxpayer while still accomplishing the needed project. The Building Needs and Assessment Committee’s recommendation for funding the initial steps to replace the existing Fire Station facility and the Finance Committee’s participation in the process produced a cooperative dialogue that resulted in a thorough assessment of the proposed project to identify potential cost burdens before proceeding with the design process. Our incorporated suggestions should result in a cost effective design solution that serves the Town well into the future. Our review of the Elementary School Committee’s Capital Budget identified two separate line items addressing facility issues impacting the Eddy Elementary School building longevity. The Finance Committee’s review and discussion resulted in the combining of approaches. The Elementary School Committee appreciated the analysis, recognizing that our recommendation gave them the 227236 greatest latitude in resolving the issues in a more timely manner. The result will provide an opportunity for the taxpayer to preserve a municipal building asset in a prudent manner while addressing issues effecting the viability and longevity. The electronic system implemented in 2012 continues to provide efficiencies, timely updates of information and cost reductions for all committees involved in the review process. Additionally, having a “real time” budget available via the town’s web site provides taxpayers a better view of town finances. In closing last Spring Ben deRuyter was elected as a Selectman allowing Madhavi Venkatesan to join the committee. Madhavi has an extensive economics and financial background which we welcome as a valued addition. Respectfully submitted, Mike Fitzgerald, Chairman Dennis Hanson, Vice Chairman Su Ballantine Dan Guertin Greg Levasseur, Clerk Herb Montgomery James O’Leary Nathan Pettengill Madhavi Venkatesan 228237 Ƭ 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 2013 and we look forward to continuing this positive relationship as we advance our organization to continued excellence. Throughout the year our efforts to improve our organization and the services we deliver have been guided by our five-year strategic plan that was developed and implemented in 2012. During 2013 several major administrative goals were met including the development and implementation of job descriptions for all personnel, the implementation of an annual employee evaluation program based on standardized fire and EMS competencies, the development and implementation of standardized training curriculums, and the continuance of our efforts acquire funding and develop design plans for the construction of a new fire headquarters. Residents interested in reviewing the department’s five- year strategic plan may do so by visiting our website at brewsterfire.com. Between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013 the Brewster Fire & Rescue Department responded to a total of 2817 requests for assistance. Of this total 817 were fire related incidents and 2000 were EMS rescue responses.

A contract was signed with SVI for the delivery of a new ambulance built on a Ford F550 chassis that will replace Ambulance 244. This unit will be leased with funds from the ambulance revenue account. In addition, we purchased three Lucas automatic CPR devices that have significantly improved the delivery of CPR to patients while providing our personnel the ability to complete multiple high priority EMS procedures in a simultaneous manner. During 2013 the State of Massachusetts decided to move away from State EMS certifications to a National certification model used by a number of states across the country. This transition has caused a number of issues within the EMS community and our organization. Our EMS officer will continue to work with our medical director Cape & Islands EMS and staff to ensure all personnel remain certified and in compliance with the new national certification protocols.

Respectfully submitted, Chief of Department Robert Moran 233242 Ƭ The Captains Golf Course had another successful golf season in 2013 despite what were considered poor weather conditions. Our overall revenues continued to be strong, exceeding our 2012 performance. Of particular significance was the increase in the Annual Passholder revenue, which surpassed 2012 by about $35,000. The record setting rain in June coupled with the extreme heat and humidity in July took its toll on the turf, but through the actions and leadership of Steve Mann, course superintendent, he and his staff brought the course back to top condition in the fall. Steve Mann decided to retire as of December 31, 2013 after more than 28 years of service (25 years as Superintendent) to the Captains Golf Course and the Town of Brewster. We are grateful for his service and wish him well in his retirement. In addition to contributing over $5.5M 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. As evidence of this, the recent draft report from the Horsley Witten Group, Inc. Pleasant Bay Nitrogen Management Alternatives Management Report states that the reduction of N fertilizer over the last several years applied by the Captains Golf Course “is equivalent to upgrading 315 homes to advanced septic systems, or connecting 168 homes to an advanced WWTF. It would save the Town between $4.6 million and $5.8 million in upfront capital costs. 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 $1.5M 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 host a 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 FY2013. The biggest financial challenge that the Captains Golf Course faces is the large annual debt service for which it is responsible. In FY 2013 the annual debt service was $944,700. This is the principal and interest charge for the $10M bond to construct the additional 18 holes, the $800,000 bond for an irrigation 234243 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 were paid off in FY2014, thus reducing our annual debt service costs by approximately $162,000 in FY2015. The $10M bond, with annual debt service of about $785,000, is scheduled to be paid off in FY2020. Over the years, the Golf Department has taken many steps to improve the efficiency of the operation. Some of these have included: reduced part-time seasonal man-hours by about 17%; reduced a 40-week maintenance position to 25 weeks; hired a professional advertising agency to more effectively market and promote the Captains Golf Course; renegotiated our credit card processing contract; create an annual fee player tiered structure; utilized equipment leasing options as opposed to purchasing; participated in inter-municipal agreements with area towns to share equipment; and better utilized the food and beverage operation, promoting non-golf functions and “off the street” business. 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.

Nauset Together We Can (The Juice Bar) provides teen services, used by 542 Brewster teens (42% of total). Major funding provided by local banks and churches. 14. Outer Cape Health Services provides community health services to the lower and outer Cape; and are the only agency accepting Mass Health reimbursement for adults. They served 833 Brewster residents (up from 777); and plan to open a new health center in Brewster in the future. It is great regret that we announce the retirement of George E. Pettengill, our Committee Chairman and guiding force for many years. We will miss his leadership. Respectfully submitted for the Committee, William C. King, Chairman Vivian Cafarella Claire Gradone Patricia Hess Deborah Blackman Jacobs Anne O’Connell Denise Rego, Secretary 238247 The Role of the Board of Health: The Brewster Board of Health is comprised of five elected members who carry out duties related to Massachusetts health laws and regulations. The Board is represented in its daily business activities by a full-time Health Director and an Assistant Health Director. Local Boards of Health in Massachusetts are required by state statutes and regulations to perform many important duties related to the: • Protection of public health • Control of disease • Promotion of sanitary living conditions, and • Protection of the environment from damage and pollution. Board Members: Lemuel Skidmore was re-elected to a 3-year term. Annie Sherwood, RN, was elected to fill a one-year vacancy and Patricia Ottolini, RN, was elected to a 3-year term. The Board elected Dr. Mary Chaffee to serve as Chair and Joanne Hughes to serve as Vice Chair. Board Meetings: Board of Health meetings are generally held the first and third Tuesdays of each month. They are open to the public. Video archives and meeting minutes are available on the Town website. Member's Additional Duties: The Board of Health has representatives or liaisons on the following Town committees: • Water Quality Review Committee: Joanne Hughes (Chair) • Comprehensive Water Planning Committee: Lemuel Skidmore (Chair) • Recycling Commission: Dr. Mary Chaffee; Board member Annie Sherwood was appointed to the Recycling Commission as a member of the public. • Dog Park Development Committee: Patricia Ottolini Board Activities: • Variance Hearings: The Board of Health evaluated 30 applications for variances to local and State Title 5 septic system codes. • Food Service Permits: The Board of Health evaluated and approved 7 food service permit applications. • Regulation Reviews: In a multi-year effort to update and revise all Board of Health regulations, the Board reviewed 10 regulations and updated five (outdoor café, fuel storage, leaching setback, portable toilet and private well 239248 regulations. Five regulations were considered to be adequate and no changes were made. • New Recycling Center Regulation: The Board established new regulations for the management of the Brewster Recycling Center to reflect changes in how solid waste is handled – including the implementation of Pay-As-You- Throw. The new regulations are intended to protect the public health, safety and environment within the Town of Brewster by regulating the collection, storage, transfer, recycling and disposal of solid waste. • Rescission of Drummer Boy Park Dog Regulation: The Drummer Boy Park Dog regulation, which had been implemented to manage dog-related health and safety issues in the park, was rescinded after the Board of Selectmen instituted a leash requirement for dogs in Drummer Boy Park. • Residence Unfit for Human Habitation: The condemnation proceedings initiated by the Board in the Fall of 2012 in the Barnstable Superior Court continued in 2013, when the Court appointed an outside Receiver to take custody of the property on Stonybrook Road. Since then, substantial work has been undertaken by the Receiver to bring the property closer to compliance with the State Sanitary Code. It is hoped that the litigation will be fully resolved sometime in 2014. • Presentations and Updates: The Board heard presentations on public health and environmental topics including: • Innovative/Alternative Septic Systems: A discussion on innovative/alternative septic treatment systems by Brian Baumgarten, Barnstable County Health Department Environmental Project Assistant and George Heufelder, Barnstable County Health Director. • Mosquito-borne disease: An update on mosquito control efforts by Gabrielle Sakolsky, Assistant Superintendent and Entomologist, Cape Cod Mosquito Control Project. • Water Quality: A presentation by Mark Nelson, Senior Hydrologist with the Horsley Witten Group, on the health of Brewster’s ponds and strategies the Board may select to enhance the protection of Brewster’s ponds. The Board voted in November 2013 to have Mr. Nelson draft a regulation for the Board’s consideration that would offer additional protections for the Town’s ponds. • Pay-As-You-Throw: The Chair provided several updates on the implementation of Pay-As-You-Throw. The Brewster Board of 240249 Selectmen voted to adopt Pay-As-You-Throw, a system where residents pay for solid waste services per unit rather than through a fixed fee. This program became effective October 1, 2013. The Board of Health is co-operator of the Recycling Center, along with the Selectmen. Pay-As-You-Throw is a strategy that encourages higher rates of recycling and reduces the volume of trash created by a municipality. • Restricting the Sale and Use of Tobacco Products: A proposal to reduce youth smoking by increasing the age when one can purchase tobacco products was discussed by Bob Collette, Director of the Cape Cod Regional Tobacco Control Program, and D.J. Wilson, Tobacco Control Director of the Massachusetts Municipal Association. The Board indicated they would seek guidance from Town Counsel and hold a public hearing. • Emergency Call-Down Drills: The Chair participated in 4 call-down drills executed to test the Town’s emergency response system. The Chair wishes to thank the Board members for their thoughtful and conscientious service to the Town. The Chair would also like to thank, on behalf of the entire Board: • Keith Johnson, Board member who completed his term in May. • Selectman Ben DeRuyter, appointed in June as that Board’s liaison to the Board of Health. • Health Director Nancy Ellis Ice, Assistant Health Director Sherrie McCullough, and Senior Department Assistant Tammi Mason. Their efforts ensure the efficient operation of complex Health Department activities that protect and maintain the health and safety of all who live in or visit Brewster. Respectfully submitted, Mary Chaffee, PhD, RN, FAAN, Chair Joanne Hughes, Vice Chair Lemuel Skidmore, MS, MPH Annie Sherwood, RN Patricia Ottolini, RN, MPA, CHA 241250 The Health Director carries out the daily activities of the Brewster Board of Health and is responsible for a broad array of duties. During the period January 1, 2013– December 31, 2013 my staff and I continued many activities designed to protect the environment and promote public health. Many activities are coordinated with other Town departments, with the County, and with other outside agencies. The Emergency Operation Plan was drilled again this year during the annual flu clinic. Call down drills were also conducted to be better prepared for an emergency. I attended monthly meetings of the Cape & Islands Health Agents Coalition to coordinate emergency planning with all the towns in the coalition. My staff and I completed numerous inspections and reports, budget reviews, health planning, and participated in crafting new regulations.

Influenza clinics were held in the fall of 2013 with a total of 230 immunizations administered. As in previous years, I have continued to work towards better public health standards for the Town through involvement in meetings and seminars sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Massachusetts Environmental Health Association and the Massachusetts Health Officers’ Association. I also serve on the following boards and committees: 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 2013. 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 244253 The Brewster Historical Commission has met only rarely this year as there have been no recent requests for Community Preservation grants and most of our members are busy with history-related projects of their own. The replacement dam servicing the old grist mill on Stony Brook Road, recipient of a CPA grant the previous year, has been completed and that historic Factory Village area is again a favorite visiting site for both residents and tourists. Ellen St. Sure, Chair Brewster Historical Commission 245254 ǯ 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 2013 the Committee received $4,765 in fees and processed a total of 210 applications as described below: Applications 2011 2012 2013 Certificate of Appropriateness 69 74 64 Certificate of Exemption 86 96 106 Certificate of Amendment 16 25 22 Certificate of Demolition 5 3 6 Sign Certificate of Appropriateness 16 21 12 Total 192 219 210 In 2013 Larry Houghton was re-elected to the committee for a 4 year term. Jim Trabulsie and Tom Turcketta joined the committee as alternates. The Committee wishes to express its appreciation to the residents and merchants of the Town of Brewster for complying with the Historic District guidelines. We would also like to thank the Building Department for their continued assistance. Respectfully submitted, John Halvorson, Chairman Patricia Busch Larry Houghton Brian Warburton Don Arthur Jim Trabulsie (Alternate) Tom Turcketta (Alternate) 246255 The 2013 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 continue to progress but are 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 and others as well. The new Formula Funding from the Department of Housing & Community Development provides a set amount of money to be used as the housing authority sees fit. The BHA has established and prioritized a list of improvements to be completed with these funds. The furnace replacement at Frederick Court has been completed and additional projects are in the planning stage. The Brewster Woods development is progressing. Meetings with neighbors have been conducted and we will soon begin the search for a developer. The Governor's plan to regionalize local housing authorities under the management of regional non-profit housing agencies is still a possibility. 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. Our executive director, Jackie Courchesne and her assistant Lorraine Carroll retired in November and the board and residents miss them both. Their efforts and expertise were invaluable. We have entered into a management agreement with Leila Botsford and the Mashpee Housing Authority. Ms. Botsford is a very capable and accomplished housing professional who has taken over the leadership of the authority. We are fortunate to have her. 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 247256 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 61 permitted locations in Town where animals are kept in order to tally the numbers and types of domestic animals and to observe the animal’s environment and general well being. 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 16 • Cattle 5 • Chicken 848 • Donkey 6 • Goat 52 • Game Bird 40 • Horse 220 • Pigeon 14 • Pony 7 • Rabbit 14 • Sheep 31 • Swine 25 • Turkey 86 • Waterfowl 82 Thanks to the efforts of the USDA and the Cape Cod Rabies Task Force the 2013 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 248257 This committee did not meet in 2013. The following is the recommendation of this member. Now that the town employees have experienced the new out of pocket expenses, deductibles and co-pays of the insurance changes it is now time to regroup this committee. Each department should notify town hall of who their representative will be. Suggested issues might include flexible spending accounts. Respectfully submitted, Cynthia Eldredge Insurance Advisory Representative from Brewster Schools ǡ 249258 ǯ Claire Gradone who has served Brewster’s children for thirty-three years retired on March 1. The Open House and Retirement Party for Claire were well attended and gave the community an opportunity to thank Claire for her service. Nori Morganstein, Youth Services Librarian/Assistant Director started on April 2, 2013. Nori came from Chicago with a Masters of Library Science from the University of Pittsburgh. In 2012, the library received substantial bequests from two past presidents of the Brewster Ladies’ Library Association, Frances Mapes Nickerson and Betty Ritter. The Association’s Board of Directors and its Committee on Fiduciary Responsibility recommended that a portion of the Nickerson funds be directed toward organizing an annual memorial lecture in honor of Ms. Nickerson. On October 5, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin was the featured speaker at the inaugural Frances Mapes Nickerson Memorial Lecture sponsored by the Brewster Ladies’ Library Association. She spoke to a capacity audience at Brewster Baptist Church. The lecture was preceded by an essay contest open to Brewster students and a week-long series of events at the Library, including a book discussion of “Team of Rivals” by authors Jim Coogan and Sally Gunning, and State Representative Sarah Peake, moderated by Mindy Todd of NPR. Essay contest winners Katie Elliott-Grunes and Jessica Williams were presented awards at a special reception preceding the lecture. The Board’s Fiduciary Responsibility Committee also recommended that a portion of the bequests be allocated to support an architectural and interior design study to assess needs of the library to better serve the community. The Board of Directors voted to apply to the State of Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners for a Planning and Design Grant, with the support of the Town of Brewster. After many months of hard work, the Library’s new website was launched on Monday, January 7, 2013. With the new website, we started accepting donations online. The library’s website won first place in the Massachusetts Library Association PR Contest. The award was presented to Kathy Cockcroft, Library Director, Kathleen Remillard, Adult Services Librarian and Nic Willcox, Assistant Youth Services Librarian at the annual conference in Cambridge on April 25. 250259 Other investments in technology included the purchase of 6 PC’s in February to replace outdated hardware, 10 laptops for in-house loan from the 2013 Eddy Grant, and 3 new online databases – Consumer Reports, Antiques Price it! and Legal Forms. Wi-Fi was expanded throughout the building. The theme of the library as a “community center” proved true again. There were 512 library sponsored programs during 2013, including Sunday Concerts, Friday Foreign Film and Knitters Group for adults, Storytime, Toddler Town and Dr. Seuss’s Pancake Breakfast for children, and Teen Iron Chef and Anime Showing for teens. Outside groups held 550 meetings in the library. The library circulated over 180,000 items during the year, with 23,445 items just in July. The exterior of the library was repainted in 2013 making it even more attractive as a community center. In response to a community survey distributed in the spring of 2011, patrons indicated that 63.5% would like to visit the library on Sundays. So a trial for Sunday Hours was instituted between November 2012 and March 2013, and turned out to be a successful endeavor. During the 17 Sundays the library was opened between 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm, circulation statistics averaged 133 checkouts for the three hours, highest during the months of January and February. Unfortunately, on October 9, one third of the plaster in the Historic Room separated from the ceiling. The Historic Room, Newspaper Room and Periodicals Room had to be temporarily closed for two months before being fully restored. Library staff was kept very busy in rescheduling meetings previously booked in the Historic Room. Once again our volunteers proved to be very important to the library. They contributed 6045 hours of their time in 2013, the equivalent of 4 full-time staff members. We are deeply grateful for their efforts. It is also noteworthy to mention that the Library won the prize for “Most Humorous” in the Brewster in Bloom parade. The theme was “It’s easy being Green”. We are very grateful for the ongoing support of the Town of Brewster. The town annually provides 75% of the library’s operating budget. Respectfully submitted, C. Mary Mauterstock, President, Board of Directors 251260 Brewster Ladies’ Library Board of Directors C. Mary Mauterstock, President Edward Ducharme, Vice President Larry Houghton, Treasurer Joan Cassidy, Secretary Ann Leighton, Corresponding Secretary Lisa Gerrish Mike Gradone Sarah Hewitt Glenn Lowery Cynthia Mathison Katharine Reynolds Barbara Wellnitz Brewster students and essay contest winners Katie Elliott-Grunes (left) and Jessica Williams (right) were special guests at the reception for Pulitzer Prize- winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin prior to Goodwin’s lecture in Brewster on October 5th , sponsored by the Brewster Ladies’ Library Association. The students were named winners of The Frances Nickerson Writing Competition, held in conjunction with the inaugural Frances Nickerson Memorial Lecture delivered by Goodwin. In keeping with the theme of her lecture, the writing competition was an historical essay about Abraham Lincoln’s presidency, specifically the Emancipation Proclamation. Katie Elliott-Grunes wrote on “Why Wait, Lincoln?”, while Jessica Williams titled her essay “Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation.” The Nickerson Writing Competition will be sponsored by the Brewster Ladies’ Library each year as one of the events surrounding the Nickerson Lecture. It is the goal of this competition to challenge and encourage potential young writers in Brewster and to demonstrate that the ability to write well can bring students rewards and opportunities – a goal Doris Kearns Goodwin wove into her lecture when she also introduced the essay winners. 252261 The past year has been a busy and successful season for us at the Mill. As in the past, we were open Saturdays in July and August for the grinding and sale of cornmeal as well as entertaining guests in our upstairs museum. The new grist mill continues to function better than our expectations. This year, as in the past, we hosted two school districts at the mill and herring run. The fifth grade from Boxbough, MA has had a Cape Cod field trip for over twenty years and we are pleased to be included as a stop on that trip. The town of Brewster third grade also has us on their spring field trip schedule. For both of these classes, we open the mill and museum and volunteers are available to answer questions and explain the herring run. We enjoy the children and find them to always be interested and polite. Projects continue at the mill and millsites. This past year, we had a new roof installed on the mill building. Under the new shingles, but on top of the old roof boards, a layer of new boards were installed. The mill building was rebuilt in 1873 after a fire. When it was rebuilt, it was constructed using material from the old salt works. We feel that the new roof system will service the building for a long time, and at the same time retain the look, feel and smell of the old building. This work was accomplished by Andrew Shrake and his assistant, Jesse Lambert. Andy and Jesse are true craftsmen, dedicated to restoration and repair. We are again fortunate to retain them for this project. Another ongoing project is the replacement of a stone wall bordering the mill pond. When completed, this will allow us to continue with plans to make the south side of the millsites wheel chair accessible, an exciting prospect for the town. Many of the projects at the millsite grounds as well as in the mill and museum are done by volunteers. Without these volunteers, our mill and museum would not be the attraction that it is. Thank you to one and all. A special thank you goes out to Bill Barnstead, our assistant miller. Bill did not miss a single Saturday all summer. The millsites committee, our miller Doug Erickson and our volunteers look forward to serving the community and our guests in the upcoming season. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Townspeople of Brewster for their continual support and patronage of the Stony Brook Millsites. Respectfully submitted, Dana A Condit, Chairman 253262 Members: Faythe Ellis Sandra Godwin William Todd Roger V. O'Day Doug Erickson Stan Godwin 254263 We would like to thank the Brewster Friends of Lands, Aquatics, Trails, & Shellfish (F L A T S) volunteer group for their 1,350 hours of volunteer service to Brewster in the areas of water quality monitoring, shellfish enhancement, & trail maintenance. The grass roots, community based group grew to 150 dedicated members in 2013 and saw the launching of Surroundings, the newsletter of FLATS. Past and future issues can be viewed on brewsterflats.org or visit the website to learn more about what is happening in our community. We are always looking for new members; for more information contact Ryan Burch at 508-896-4546 or rburch@town.brewster.ma.us. We continue to monitor 29 ponds in Town, utilizing the Pond and Lake Stewards (PALS) volunteers for a majority of the testing. This year FLATS members Bill Wood took over coordination responsibilities for the spring, while Dave & Diane Carlson took the reins in the fall. PALS volunteers provide invaluable data used to monitor trends in dissolved oxygen, temperature, clarity & algal growth in identified ponds. We would like to recognize Jane & Carroll Johnson for their continued service to the program; this year they delivered the samples everyday for two weeks to the Cape Cod Commission. In addition, we continued monitoring Long Pond from April-November 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. Results and recommendations are due in spring 2014. A continuation of the revised sampling protocol for 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. This included survey work to identify location and elevation of groundwater at each monitoring well to further understand movement of groundwater at the golf course. For the 6th consecutive year, the Department received a grant from the Barnstable County Cooperative Extension to continue its efforts at reducing wildfire risk in the Punkhorn Parklands. The grant emphasized fuel source reduction through mechanical cutting. AmeriCorps’ Fire Crew was instrumental at trimming intersections and roadside vegetation in accordance with the Punkhorn Wildfire Management Plan. Land preservation efforts continued in 2013, as we maintained our aggressive approach at invasive species removal at several properties across Town. With the continued support of AmeriCorps, a healthy relationship with the Brewster Department of Public Works and support from FLATS volunteers, we worked 255264 vigorously at maintaining a diversified habitat, able to support a wide range of wildlife species and promote native vegetation. We continued efforts (fifth consecutive year) of field habitat restoration on Wings Island by utilizing volunteers from AmeriCorps~Cape Cod & staff from the Cape Cod National Seashore fire management crew. Although conditions didn’t allow for a prescribed burn, we spent numerous days with brush cutters preparing this area for a burn in 2014. Our Department helped to coordinate two new access points along Brewster’s shoreline. Chris Wingard led his troop of Boy Scouts at Breakwater Landing West as they built and installed a short boardwalk and staircase accessing the beach, as Chris’s Eagle Scout project. At the other end of Town, Hal Minis led a dedicated corps of volunteers as they built and constructed a raised boardwalk, tying to a stairway down to the beach at Spruce Hill Conservation Area. These two volunteer led projects provided 300 hours of free labor to the town. Efforts were also made to protect and secure Town beaches from erosion. Breakwater and Breakwater West received erosion control fencing upgrades along with beach grass plantings that have helped to build & protect coastal dunes. Access to the water remained a top priority in 2013 as we managed over 75 kayak & canoe racks at Paines Creek, Mant’s Landing & Upper Mill Pond in an effort to promote recreational boating for our residents & visitors. This has become a very popular program and selection is done by lottery. Applications are due March 1st with a $25 annual or bi-weekly fee. For more information please visit the Town’s website under Natural Resource – Shellfish & Mooring regulations. 2013 experienced a rise in moorings in Town as we continued our efforts at managing over 300 moorings between Brewster’s salt and fresh waterways. Along with patrolling for current mooring stickers, we continued efforts at removing dangerous and unclaimed mooring tackle from the flats. For the second year in a row, we joined forces with Coast Sweep to participate in a national campaign to clean our shoreline. This year, we collaborated with AmeriCorps, who helped organize volunteers and lead groups on 5 different routes. With over 65 volunteers we removed plastics, bottles, cans, balloons, cigarette butts and wood debris. 2013 experienced the worst coastal erosion Brewster has seen in years and without the help from our community volunteers, cleanup efforts would have taken much longer. This includes the massive cleanup and rebuilding efforts 256265 after last winter’s storms including “Nemo”. We would like to thank the crew from Brewster Park for the time and effort they committed to removing tons of debris caused by our winter storms. 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. Luckily this year did not have the volume of strandings as the previous year. Community outreach and education continued to be a top priority in 2013 as we organized the 5th annual “Learn To Shellfish” program with Brewster Recreation giving children the opportunity to dig clams on the flats. We did an additional “Learn about Shellfishing” program at the Ladies Library. We also worked with AmeriCorps to bring the message of reduce, reuse, recycle to 3 local elementary schools in Brewster through the Green Ribbon Recycle Puppet Show. Introducing the idea of farm to plate was our theme as we visited Nauset Regional High school to talk about shellfish aquaculture and why it is important on Cape Cod. We brought on one senior under the Town tax abatement program, who provided us with 82 hours of service working on community event and outreach planning projects. 2013 also saw the continuation 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 build on Brewster Conservation Day. This was an all-day free environmental festival that showcased 35 exhibitors, offered children’s activities, and guest speakers, all with a message of conservation. We were awarded two AmeriCorps members in 2013, who volunteer with us 3 days a week starting in October and finishing in July 2014. They help organize community events, maintain our shellfish farms, manage our conservation lands and assist with day to day operational duties. Overall, they will contribute over 1,250 hours of service to the town. In addition to our AmeriCorp placements, we also conduct AmeriCorp group projects in town. Each project brings in from 6 to 24 people for an entire day. Examples of these projects include wildfire fuel source reductions in the Punkhorn, shellfish propagation, invasive species removal, beach cleanups, beach and dune restoration and plantings, and maintenance of conservation 257266 properties. Last year we conducted 8 full day projects with AmeriCorp, for a total of 550 hours of free service to the Town. The Department completed two large restoration projects last year. The Lower Mill Pond Dam Reconstruction Project replaced the historic dam with a modern engineered dam that preserves the historic character of the property, while ensuring dam safety and good passage for the herring. As a part of this project we also rebuilt the fish weirs located south of Stony Brook Road. The majority of the cost of the project was through federal grants received by the department. We wish to recognize substantial participation by the State Division of Marine Fisheries and, of course, essential assistance and input by the Alewife and Millsites Committees. The Department also completed the Freemans Pond Culvert project at Paines Creek Landing. This project replaced a failing undersized culvert with a larger box culvert, and will ensure the health of the salt marsh located around Freemans Pond. We are finishing up this spring by additional site work, including plantings, regrading, and paving the small turn around in the parking lot. This project was over ¾ funded through grant funds from federal, state and private partners. This year the Brewster Conservation Trust selected the Department for their Conservationist of the Year award. “Led by Director Chris Miller, assisted by Jim Gallagher, Ryan Burch and Carol Spade, the Brewster Department of Natural Resources & Conservation Department has been responsible for award-winning improvements to our wetlands, beaches, waterways and conservation areas, including national awards.” Other recognition for the Department included Chris Miller receiving the Gulf of Maine Council Visionary Award for his work in Brewster, and a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition for his work to preserve the natural environment in Brewster. Our Department purchased oyster & quahog seed through a program connected with Barnstable County’s Cooperative Extension and was supplemented by funds raised from our rent a rake program, donations, and Brewster Oyster gear. Our municipal shellfish propagation program continues to flourish with help from our shellfish volunteers. Bud Johnson heads up our dedicated group, who provides assistance in propagation, distribution and grow out. This year we saw a record number of people take advantage of summer quahoging at Saint’s Landing, Oyster Sundays at Ellis & Little Neck weeks also at Ellis. We would not provide the level of service to Brewster without their valuable assistance. 258267 The Department also continues to work with DPW and others on stormwater improvements across town. We are hopeful to complete stormwater work in the roadway to Ellis Landing in 2014, followed by a newly designed ramp to the beach. 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 259268 The Nauset Schools continue to be successful because of the support from our communities and the commitment we share for academic excellence. Nauset continues to rank as one of the best districts in Massachusetts and has received several recognitions for academic achievement and excellence. It is my belief that the life blood that runs through these schools is the teachers and the staff of the Nauset Region. My opinion is that the teachers and staff are the main reason our District has done well in the past is doing well in the present and will continue to outperform in the future. In keeping with the Nauset standards, a big initiative to upgrade Technology throughout the district is taking place and a five year Technology Plan has been created to achieve our goals in making our students’ successful as they move through the system and out into the world. Schools have incorporated Smart Boards into their classrooms which has enhanced student learning, a computer science program is being established, Robotics courses continue, and infrastructure at our buildings has been updated to include WIFI. Again, our communities have always supported our initiatives to improve student learning/achievement and we trust our citizens will support this endeavor. Many capital projects are underway and have been completed. We thank you for your continued support to keep our facilities in good working condition. We continue to work with our local officials and keep them apprised of what is happening in our schools. Communication has been fluent and in the best interest of our students. Presently, Principal Conrad is working with the Town of Eastham to apply for a CPC grant to repair the tennis courts at Nauset High School for the students as well as for the recreation department in the town of Eastham. A typical sign of generosity and community spirit is the funds that have been raised for building of a greenhouse at the Middle School. This is a very ambitious project but the community has jumped in to support this wonderful learning lab for our students. Many community organizations and individuals have made substantial donations and have been involved in the planning. Again, just another example of the great communities in which we live. Nauset Regional Middle School, with the overwhelming support from the community supported the hiring of a school resource officer. The resource officer has proven to be a wonderful presence at the school to assist in prevention of bullying, building security, and is also a confidant and role model for students. 260269 The Nauset High School Music Department received the Highest Overall Program Award in at the National Festival of Music in Atlanta Georgia. Foreign students from China, France and Belgium are now attending Nauset HS. The Administration and the Police Chiefs have worked tirelessly in creating a comprehensive security plan for the district and we thank them for efforts in keeping our students safe. Greg O’Brien, Nauset Regional School Committee member retired from the committee after 18 years of service to the district. Marie Enochty also retired from the Committee after 15 years of service and Jon Porteus is retiring from the Committee after six years of service to our district. We thank these dedicated individuals for keeping the best interests of students in the forefront and promoting excellence in education. Respectfully Submitted, John O’Reilly, Chairman Brewster Representatives Susan Skidmore Edward Lewis Jayne Fowler 261270 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). This year the Committee welcomed William Klein, replacing Jeanne Boehm as the Conservation Commission representative. Jeanne remained on the Committee, staying on as a Citizen-At-Large. 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, 1983-2013 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 2007-2013 CPA 86.46 $ 2,105,680 $ 421,136 $24,354 1983-2013 1,617.51 $25,215,308 $ 926,896 $15,588 No properties were submitted to town meetings for approval in 2013. The two Copelas properties (Freemans Way-26.65 acres and Slough Road-55.2 acres) are scheduled to close in 2014. The Town did receive approval for a state grant of $400,000 towards purchase of the Copelas property off Slough Road. In March of 2013, the Committee contracted with Mark Robinson, Executive Director of the Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts (Compact), to coordinate, outreach and negotiate the acquisition of various parcels for open space located in four focus areas in Brewster, as identified by the Committee. 262271 These areas show geographic distribution; SW, NW, SE and Central areas of Town. Parcels of interest were identified in each area. The consultant sent outreach letters and followed-up with landowners. Engaged landowners are approached with appropriate preservation techniques, whether it be donation, Conservation Restriction or possible purchase. It is hoped that the Committee’s first anticipated acquisition from this project will be on the Spring 2014 warrant. In compliance with State regulations, The Town completed and recorded a perpetual conservation restriction, held by the Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT) on the 33-acre ex-Bruch parcel on Sheep Pond, our first Land Bank acquisition in 1999. The Open Space Committee continues to work with the Community Preservation Committee, 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 the Brewster Conservation Trust and The Compact, which have been of inestimable assistance in locating/negotiating/purchasing lands. It must be noted that over the last thirteen years, BCT has protected over 800 acres of land, often working in partnership with the Town. 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/Citizen-at-Large Danni Jesudowich/Citizen-at-Large Tom Kowalski/Citizen-at-Large Keith Johnson/Citizen-at-Large Don Keeran/Citizen–at-Large William Klein/Conservation Commission Peter Norton/Selectman’s Rep. 263272 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 Town Hall. 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 on the Town Web site or Local Cable Channel 18. The Zoning By- law (Chapter 170 of the Town Code) can be found on the Town Web site under Planning Department or Planning Board. 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 types of 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 provision of the Zoning By-law known as the Site Plan Review, which requires the Planning Board 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 Two 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. Rick Judd and William Hoag 264273 joined the Board in 2012. Jason Klump ran for Suzanne McInerney’s unexpired term in 2013. Scott Collum ran for a five year term. Both were elected to the Board in 2013. Member: Term Expires William Hoag, Chairman 2017 Richard Judd, Vice-Chairman 2017 Jason Klump, Clerk 2016 John Leaning 2015 John McMullen 2014 Elizabeth Taylor 2015 Scott Collum 2018 Planning Board Town Staff Susan Leven, Town Planner, provides support in drafting by-laws, 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 the work of the Town Planner. Much of the work of the Planning Board is complex, demanding, and requires understanding of applicable State statutes, Town by-laws, case law decisions and subdivision regulations. The Planning Board managed 17 applications in 2013. The Board held 29 meetings and collaborated on five by-laws. The by- laws included Signs, Bed & Breakfast Use, Special Event Venue, Parking and Loading, and Water Planning Representative to the Water Quality Review Committee. Summary of Applications and Requests 14 Special Permits: (5) Site Plan Review, (2) Use Special Permits, (7) Other 5 ANR (Approval Not Required) applications 1 Road Betterment 2 Informal Discussions Town Meeting Action Special Spring Town Meeting: May 6, 2013, the Planning Board presented 1 Article: Bed and Breakfast addition to the Use Table.

The articles on parking and special events passed, but the sign article did not pass. Fall Town Meeting: November 18, 2013, The Planning Board presented one Article: Zoning amendment/Water Quality Review Committee - The amendment passed. These articles are part of the Board's ongoing efforts to improve the Zoning By- laws by removing duplication, clarifying questionable sections, and creating understandable regulations. The Board strives to be sensible and responsive to community needs. Board Member Activities: All members are on the Local Comprehensive Planning Committee William Hoag Current Water Quality Review Committee Rep. Richard Judd Outgoing, Water Quality Review Committee Rep. Jason Klump Liaison, Zoning Board of Appeals, CCC Herring River Work Group Elizabeth Taylor Cape Cod Commission Delegate, Open Space Committee, Community Preservation Committee, Comprehensive, Water Planning Committee John Leaning John McMullen Scott Collum 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 this committee are encouraged to contact the Town Planner at brewplan@town.brewster.ma.us Development still continues on Cape Cod although at a slower pace. Brewster is one of the few towns which still has 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. 266275 The Board encourages cluster development and with the Town’s Natural Resource Protection Design in Zone II’s and the Pleasant Bay Watershed, 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. 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. The Board also thanks their staff for their valuable assistance throughout the year.

The Department also provides staff support to other departments and committees, as time and staffing allow. The Town Planner 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 2013, the Planning Department worked on several zoning by-law amendments which were heard at the Annual Town Meeting in May 2013 and the Special Town Meeting in November 2013. These included: ¾ A complete reworking of the Town’s sign regulations. This by-law amendment was intended to address the needs of local businesses enforcement entities. The article did not pass at Town Meeting, and is currently being reworked. It will be resubmitted for the Annual Town Meeting in May 2014. ¾ The parking regulations that were defeated in 2012 were reworked and brought back to Town Meeting in May of 2013. One of the changes involved removing specific requirements for parking by use. Information on recommendations for the number of parking spaces to provide by use has been removed from the by-laws and has become a Planning Board policy. This will allow applicants to negotiate the number of parking spaces needed with the Board during the review process. ¾ Several housekeeping items were also taken care of, including an amendment to address a change in the charge of the Water Quality Review Committee. Proposed by-laws for future Town Meetings are also being worked on including several proposed revisions to the Town’s zoning map, and a by-law outlining locations and regulations for medical marijuana dispensaries and cultivation. 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 third phase of work expecting to be completed in June of 2014. The Committee, which is supported by the Planning Department, has been working with our consultant (Horsley Witten Group) on evaluating alternative approaches to address the 269278 Town’s water management needs and selecting preferred alternatives to help the Town meet the nitrogen reduction requirements for the Pleasant Bay Watershed. The CWPC annual report will have more information on the project and other work of the Committee. Staff Review and Development 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 going through the process. In 2013, we had 20 proposed projects go to Staff Review. The Department also provided support with 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 preparing the applications and understanding and addressing zoning requirements. Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) – A 132-unit assisted living and memory care complex on Harwich Road (Route 124) that was appealed following approval by the Cape Cod Commission in the summer of 2012, saw that appeal dropped in 2013. The project was approved by the Planning Board in July of 2013. Construction is expected to commence in the next several months. Public Service – The Planning Department continues to create 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 are available 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. We are continuing to create an electronic database of all of our paper files, which is quite a large undertaking. We hope to have the process completed in 2014. 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. 270279 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 continued 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 271280 The Pleasant Bay Alliance is an organization of the Towns of Brewster, Chatham, Orleans, and Harwich charged with implementing 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 2013 are listed below. More information is available at www.pleasantbay.org. The Pleasant Bay Resource Management Plan is updated by the Alliance every five years. The third five-year update was developed in 2013 with input from local and regional resource managers and interested citizens. The 2013 Update contains recommendations in the areas of biodiversity and habitat protection, wetlands protection, fisheries management, watershed planning, coastal processes and structures, navigation safety, public access and historic resources. The 2013 Update was adopted by Town Meeting in each of the four Alliance towns and was then sent to the state Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs for approval. The Pleasant Bay Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Program completed its 14th monitoring season in 2013. Trained volunteers collected samples at more than 20 locations throughout the Bay, and a 90% sample recovery rate was recorded. Data from the monitoring program are used by the towns to guide nutrient management planning. Public education activities included a Summer Speaker Series featuring experts on resource management topics ranging from marine invasive species to sea level rise and erosion control. The Alliance also co-sponsored the Seal Symposium along with the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies, Friends of Pleasant Bay and Cape Cod Fishermen’s Alliance. Implementation activities for the Pleasant Bay Fertilizer Management Plan included a training session on fertilizer best management practices for municipal turf managers co-sponsored with GreenCape. The Alliance also distributed information cards containing best practices for residential lawn care and testified in support of the Cape Cod Fertilizer District of Critical Planning Concern. The Alliance also commented in opposition to NSTAR spraying within the Pleasant Bay watershed. The study of coastal resources continued with collection of tide gage data in Meetinghouse Pond and at the Chatham Fish Pier. The Alliance continued to coordinate with state environmental agencies regarding approval of regulations 272281 that would allow improvement dredging in a portion of the ACEC under prescribed conditions. The Alliance also launched the development of best management practices for erosion protection. The Alliance presented Conservation Commissions in each of the four towns with proposed permitting guidelines for docks in freshwater lakes and ponds within the ACEC. Each Commission wrote a letter in support of the guidelines. The guidelines now will be sent to the state Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs for approval. The Alliance wishes to thank the citizens of Brewster for your ongoing support. Respectfully submitted by: Chris Miller, Natural Resources Director, Alliance Steering Committee Susan Leven, Town Planner, Alliance Steering Committee Carole Ridley, Alliance Coordinator 273282 In 2013, the men and women of the Brewster Police Department have continued to strive to provide the level of service that our community has come to expect from its police department. In society, the forward progression of technology seems to be coming at us at an ever increasing rate. The same has proven true in today’s policing. Our officers are faced with crimes being committed via the internet, confessions being made on Facebook, and evidence being hidden on thumb drives. As we move forward as a police department, we will continue to keep up with the demands of modern technology by combating it with a combination of our own technology and educated police officers. Part of this fight on high tech crime involves working regionally with our counterparts around Cape Cod to develop best practices and assist each other in investigations. This regional approach is not a new concept to us, as we have been working regionally for several years now when it comes to SWAT, narcotics investigations, and accident reconstruction. We will continue to work on a regional level to improve our effectiveness and efficiency. This includes investigating the pros and cons of regionalizing our dispatch services. As we move forward into 2014, we acknowledge the trends in technology but we do not lose focus on the fact that it is our relationships with the people of Brewster that makes us the best police department we can be. Our goal is always to enforce the laws in a fair and just way, with integrity and morals guiding our path. Without the support of the citizens of Brewster, the Town Administration, the Board of Selectmen, and the Finance Committee, none of that would be possible. We appreciate the support we have always received and continue to receive. 274283 The following is a report of the activities of the Brewster Police Department for the calendar year 2013.

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 FY13 goals to continue to improve and expand the programs and events which we established over the past fiscal year. During FY13 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 community events such as the Breakfast with Santa and Easter Egg Hunt and Breakfast at Ocean Edge, the Polar Plunge at Breakwater Beach, Holiday Gift Wrapping, Brewster in Bloom Run, 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. We also added in small day trips offered during days students did not have school. IV. For More Information Our web site www.brewsterrecreation.com is regularly updated and provides information for all our programming and events. Registrations are now accepted online through our website as well as competed in our office. The web site is also used as a means of communication for program information, department updates and weather cancellations. 277286 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 2014 we offer a special thank you to our staff, volunteers, sponsors and the community who supports our department each and every year. V. Recreation Commission Members Roland Bassett, Chair George Bausch, Vice-Chair Kevin Pooler, Treasurer Sherrie McCullough, Secretary Allen Ryone Respectfully Submitted, Ellen Ojala Bearse Brewster Recreation Director 278287 Brewster launched Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) in 2013, a program aimed to boost recycling and reduce the volume of trash generated by the Town. The Board of Selectmen directed the Recycling Commission to initiate the program to help the town control costs and for its environmental benefits. The Commission was directed to implement the PAYT program on October 1. The Selectmen decreased the annual vehicle permit for the Recycling Center in response to the launch of PAYT. To prepare for PAYT, the Recycling Commission held a public educational forum in January 2013 and launched many efforts to prepare for a smooth program implementation. The actions were designed to help Brewster residents learn how they can recycle more household waste. The Board of Selectmen renamed the former Brewster Transfer Station, the Brewster Recycling Center to demonstrate the Town’s focus on recycling solid waste. Between March and mid-September, the Commission, along with the help of the Town Administrator’s office and the Department of Public Works (DPW), tackled many activities to prepare for PAYT including: • Negotiating the Town’s contract with our PAYT bag vendor • Working with local stores who want to sell the Town’s PAYT bags • Designing the Town’s PAYT bag • Preparing educational information for the PAYT bag insert • Creating new signage for the Recycling Center to help users recycle efficiently • Writing “Frequently Asked Questions” about PAYT • Editing the Town’s “Recycling Guide” • Writing articles about PAYT for publication • Appearing on cable television to discuss PAYT • Participating in the Brewster Conservation Trust environmental fair • Re-designing the road entrances for the Recycling Center and the Swap Shop • Coordinating with the Brewster Chamber of Commerce in their effort to promote Brewster as an eco-destination • Meeting with part-time homeowners, senior citizens, and others to educate them about PAYT. • Installing additional recycling bins to collect textiles and other items • Scheduling a Styrofoam collection event to assist residents with discarding their holiday Styrofoam. In the run-up to the PAYT launch in October, Commission members, Commission liaisons, and volunteers worked at the Recycling Center handing 279288 out information, answering questions, assisting with the training of the gatekeepers and installing the new signage. For a full week prior to the kick- off, members concentrated their efforts and continued their outreach, while also planning a ‘Kick-off’ event for October 3rd, the PAYT launch. The event was successful and the Town received positive press coverage. After the PAYT kick off, the Commission examined other tools and techniques for managing Brewster’s waste stream. These included composting and an analysis of how the Swap Shop supports re-use. Municipal composting was researched with the assistance of the Barnstable County Cooperative Extension and the DPW. The Commission had concerns about vectors (rodents, birds, wildlife) and potential odor issues (decomposing organic waste in compost requires significant staff oversight and effort to manage properly). The Commission and the DPW will continue to encourage residents to compost at home. DPW is collecting monthly data on the impact of PAYT. They and the Commission will analyze the data in 2014 after an adequate period of data collection. Respectfully submitted, Margretta (Meg) Morris, Chair William Barnstead, Member Robert Bersin, Member and DPW Superintendent John Cunningham, Member and Vice Chair Brenda Locke, Member Joseph Prevost, Member Annie Sherwood, Member Dr. Mary Chaffee, Board of Health Liaison Ben deRuyter/Dan Guertin, Finance Committee Liaison Jillian Douglas, Town Administrator Liaison Peter Johnson, Citizen Dan Rabold/John Dickson/James Foley, Alternating Board of Selectmen 280289 Many, many thanks for your continued support of the students and staff of the Nauset Public Schools. Because of this support, we continue to experience outstanding results in the Brewster Elementary Schools and the Nauset Regional Schools. Not only are our annual test scores way above the State average, our children continue to thrive and grow in a stimulating school environment staffed by dedicated, caring teachers. In 2013, Eddy School students earned a Composite Performance Index of 89.4 in ELA, an improved Composite Performance Index of 89.3 in math, as well as an improved score of 93.8 in science for all students. These scores mean that a significant percentage of students scored in the Advanced and Proficient categories of the State MCAS exam, well above the State average. Our high academic achievement at the elementary level is complemented by a strong program in the arts, music, physical education, and after-school enrichment opportunities. At Nauset Middle and Nauset High Schools, we achieved a similar level of excellence in State test scores. For example, 87% of Grade 7 and Grade 8 students ranked proficient and advanced in reading and writing compared to the State average of 72 and 78 respectively. In Grade 10, 97% of students scored proficient and advanced in English and 90% in mathematics compared to the State average score of 91% and 80% respectively. Of course the MCAS is only one measure of student performance. Our students also excel in advanced placement courses and in art, drama, sports, and music. In fact this year the high school bands and chorus groups won several gold medals at a national competition! Two areas of challenge for our schools are infrastructure needs and the expansion of instructional technology. At the Eddy School, plans are in the works to replace major sections of the roof which are failing. This will be a very large project since it will include replacement of a number of roof top heating and ventilation systems along with the rood itself. The project makes sense though as costs will only increase in the future and the funds we expend each year for repairs would be better spent directly on our students in the classroom. 281290 The Stony Brook School is in the middle of a window replacement project. About half of the failing windows were replaced in 2013 and we hope to complete the remaining ones in 2014. In addition, the Nauset Middle School roof at 23 years old will also need replacing. Fortunately, we were successful in getting a State grant that would pay up to $900,000 of the estimated $2.4 million cost. As this report went to press the Regional School Committee was still considering whether to move forward with the project in 2014. Finally, The Eddy School Playground is another sizeable project that will become a reality in 2014 thanks to your generous support of funding from the Community Preservation Commission. Many thanks too to all who have generously donated their time and effort to make this possible not just for the students of Brewster but for the entire Brewster community as well. Work on our other major goal, increasing the level of technology in all of our schools, is progressing. All of our schools are now able to provide wireless access to the Internet from any location in the school and for the high school, on the campus as well. This was a critical first step to improve the infrastructure that will eventually deliver many robust and exciting teaching tools to our teachers and students. For example, teachers can now use mobile devices such as the iPad to instantly display a video on the environment while the students study the topic and work collaboratively on projects about the environment. Many of our classrooms now include a modern day “blackboard” know as a Smartboard. This tool allows teachers to display motivating content in a large format and students are able to use the interactive technology of the Smartboard to show what they know. Smartboards and mobile devices are fast becoming the tools of today, not just a dream of tomorrow. With them our students are able to not just learn subject content, but they are also learning important 21st century skills in communication, creativity, problem solving, and collaboration. You may have also heard of the “Common Core.” The Common Core was adopted by the State of Massachusetts and its emphasis is on enhancing writing skills, expanding reading of non-fiction, and promoting a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, not just getting the correct answer. Principals and teacher leaders have worked hard to adjust to both what we teach (curriculum content) and how we teach (pedagogy) so learners of all abilities are challenged with a vigorous and rigorous program of studies. The District is also piloting the use of several software applications to make student assessment data more readily available so staff can adjust teaching to improve student learning. 282291 Lastly I want to again thank our citizens and in particular our police chief, Richard Koch, and the Brewster Police Department for their insightful leadership in helping our schools to enhance the level of safety and security. The very highest priority for your school administration is the safety of our students; and our partnership with Brewster Police, Fire, and other town departments provides us with a level of security that meets this priority. Our schools are not just for our younger residents. They are for our entire community and as such, I invite you to become involved and support our efforts to provide the best education we can. After all, today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders who will use their years of education for the betterment of our world. Nauset Schools truly live our motto: Every Child Matters. Please feel free to contact me at any time. My door is always open to you and I invite you to share your thoughts and ideas with me. I am honored and privileged to be your Superintendent of Schools. Respectfully submitted, Richard J. Hoffmann, Ed. D. Superintendent of Schools 283292 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 2013. 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 $37,000 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 $1.63 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. Our Harwich office is open 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 284293 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 received a trophy in 2012 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. The recently updated flushing plan has increased the removal of sediments and minimized occasional discoloration experienced by residents. The Water Department is completely funded by semiannual rates. Due to futuristic planning and conservation efforts, currently, we are not budgeting wastewater treatment expenses as are other towns on Cape Cod. The new well (Well 6) located near Well 4 in the southern Punkhorn Parklands property has been completed. This well is capable of providing 900 gallons per minute or 1.3 million gallons per day. The Well 6 project began many years ago in anticipation of the needs of Brewster residents. It took the combined efforts of retired Water Superintendent Paul Hicks, the Board of Water Commissioners, Selectmen, Finance Committee Members and Town Administrator Charles Sumner to bring this project to reality. 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. Respectfully submitted, Walter Rowles, Chairman, Brewster Water Commission Annual Statistics: 2012 2012 2013 2013 % DIFFERENCE MILLION GALLONS MILLION GALLONS FROM 2011 TOTAL PUMPED 452 453 +0.22% MAX.

The bylaw establishes a zoning overlay district that delineates a protective radius (Zone II) surrounding our public drinking water supply wells. The purpose of this Groundwater Protection District is to: • Promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community by ensuring the adequate quality and quantity of drinking water for the residents, institutions and businesses 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. • Conserve the natural resources of the Town • Prevent temporary and permanent contamination of the water resources of the Town. The WQRC membership includes a representative of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Health, Planning Board, Conservation Commission, Water Commissioners as well as the Building Commissioner and the Health Director. A warrant article at the November 2013 Town Meeting established representation of the Comprehensive Water Planning Committee, commencing in 2014. The WQRC reviews all building construction, new or expansion within the Groundwater Protection District. Change of use of an existing property also triggers a review. Single family dwellings are exempt from this review. Certain activities and land uses are prohibited and/or restricted within the Groundwater Protection District. Through these reviews the committee seeks to minimize potential impacts to groundwater resources from increased development and the associated human activity. Certificates of Water Quality Compliance effective for three years are issued by the WQRC to applicants that meet the requirement of the bylaw. This year the WQRC continued to work closely with the two businesses engaged in the reclamation of buried wood waste in the Groundwater Protection District. The committee recognizes the potential for adverse environmental and groundwater impacts if wood wastes are not properly managed. Progress toward the removal of all buried wood waste is steady and remains a priority. 286295 The WQRC recognizes the contribution of Steve Mann, the retiring Grounds Superintendent, at The Captains Golf Course. His turf management practice through responsible application of nitrogen has had a mitigating impact on the Town’s Pleasant Bay Total Maximum Daily Load for nitrogen (TMDL), assessed by the State. Gathering golf course monitoring well data, its compilation and interpretation are ongoing. A report by the committee consultant, David Bennett, is projected for January. We are grateful to Mr. Bennett for he has been generous in giving his time, expertise and a large portion of his fees in service to the Town. The committee is privileged by the continued dedication of Administrative Assistant, Marilyn Mooers who volunteers her service. We are indebted to her. It has been a privilege to serve the Town in this capacity. Respectfully submitted, Joanne Hughes, Chair, Board of Health Representative Nancy Ellis Ice, Vice Chair, Health Director William Hoag, Planning Board Representative Douglas Wilcock, Water Commission Representative Patricia Hughes, Board of Selectmen Representative Chris Miller, Conservation Commission Representative Victor Staley, Building Commissioner 287296 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 within the language of the Zoning Bylaws. Introducing a property owner to use and dimensional 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 2013. 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 288297 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 2013, twenty three regular applications were heard. Additionally there were multiple meetings pertaining to the White Rock Commons and Brewster Landing comprehensive permit applications. Another comprehensive permit application is expected early in calendar year 2014 relative to senior housing. The Board actively pursues comments from other town departments prior to scheduled hearings. All such comments are appreciated and are clearly helpful in the overall process. The total of 23 regular applications consisted of eighteen Special Permits, one Variance, two Appeals of Decisions by the Zoning Agent and two modifications of previously issued permits. 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 many instances, applications 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 Chair 289298 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 6, 2012, delegates were elected to serve and on January 2, 2013 assumed their duties and began the thirteenth session (2013 – 2014) of the Assembly of Delegates. Ronald Bergstrom (Chatham) was elected Speaker, Teresa Martin (Eastham) was elected Deputy Speaker, and Janice O’Connell continued as the Assembly Clerk. 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 and may also be appointed to serve on special committees. 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) 290299 • 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. 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 2013 (July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013), the Assembly of Delegates adopted seven ordinances (#12-07 through 12-09, and 13-01 through 13-04). 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. Below is a list of the Standing Committees and Special Committees, and a description of the ordinances and subject matter that were reviewed by the committees and ordinances adopted by the Assembly during fiscal year 2013.
