Among the items of focus in 2014 were Open Space Purchases, Renewable Energy Projects, Beach Parking and several Building and Needs projects. Many of these projects will be ongoing in the coming year. The large solar project at the Landfill was completed in July of 2014 and will have a positive impact on the Town’s ability to supply electricity to its buildings. Despite the fact that the Commerce Park Solar Project did not come to fruition, due to forces out of the Board’s control, we were still able to purchase electricity at a lower rate as an off-taker through CVEC. The Town made three very important Open Space purchases in 2014, continuing a long-term strategy that by spending millions on open space, we will save hundreds of millions in wastewater mitigation. The acquisition of a large parcel of land off Freeman’s Way which is located next to two important watershed protection areas was completed in early 2014. Another important water shed acquisition was of a parcel on Black Duck Cartway which is located near the Punkhorn Lands. The Town also successfully purchased, with the help of the Brewster Conservation Trust, a parcel of land located next to Drummer Boy Park. The Town received a MA LAND Grant in the amount of $260,364.00 towards this important purchase. On another front, the Town worked with Habitat for Humanity to purchase and develop a large area of land on Tubman Road. This important project will be ongoing and will provide much needed affordable homes in our Town. We thank Habitat for Humanity for taking the lead on this critical need. The Board completed two very important building projects this year with the assistance of the Building & Needs Committee. The replacement of the roof and HVAC systems at the Eddy Elementary School and Phase II of the Window Replacement Project at the Stony Brook Elementary School. We thank the voters of Brewster for supporting these two very important projects. Through the effort and hard work of many town employees and volunteers, both of these renovations were completed in the summer while school was not in session and the buildings were ready for the beginning of the school year. A special thanks goes out to the Recreation Department for working with the Town to continue to run their successful summer program in the midst of a large scale project at the Eddy School. While the Board was able to complete these two important projects, it still continues to struggle with the major concern of the Brewster Fire Station. The funding for design to build a new Fire Station was passed by a two thirds majority at the May Town Meeting, but failed by only 66 votes at the poles. The Board is now back to the drawing board and reviewing renovation versus building new options. The Board is actively seeking input from all residents and constituents with the hopes of bringing a plan to the voters again in 2015. The Pavement Management findings were presented to the Board in 2014 and we are now weighing out how to fund the much needed work that will be done on our roads throughout Town. In conjunction with long term road repairs, the Town will be looking at bicycle and pedestrian access throughout Town. Much of the work that needs to be done will have a positive impact on storm water run-off concerns throughout Town. The Board and key town employees have also been working with the State to develop plans for the improvement of Route 6A. The State will begin this large scale project in the spring of 2015. The Board remained stable in its membership with the re-election of John Dickson to a second term. However, a big transition is in store for the Town of Brewster with the announcement that Town Administrator Charlie Sumner will be retiring after 28 years of service. The Board hired the Collins Center of UMass Boston to assist with the search for our next leader, knowing that these will be big shoes to fill. Along the same vein of future planning, the Board interviewed and appointed candidates to the Government Studies Committee who will review how our Town government operates. To this end, the Committee initiated a town wide survey to our residents and has begun interviewing key personnel and committee members. The Board is also engaged in long term planning and the updating of a master plan for the Town which will help guide us in the coming years as we make important decisions about the wants and needs of our Town. After a full year of implementation, we are happy to report that the Pay as You Throw program at the Brewster Recycling Center has successfully reduced household trash by 47% and increased recycling by 26%. Through the hard work of many volunteers and town employees, this initiative has worked. The Board and the Recycling Commission are now looking at expanding recycling to Town beaches and recreational areas. One of the biggest issues that the Board has faced in the last year and will continue to face is beach parking, access and improvements. The formation of a Coastal Committee was accomplished in 2014 to help the Board develop a management plan for Brewster’s coastal resources. The Board also continues to work with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation and local residents to realize a plan to add parking and better access to Crosby and Linnell Landings. Through the work of the Natural Resources Department, the Town has been the recipient of Coastal Resiliency Grant Funding to assist with projects at our beaches. The Town hopes to complete projects at Linnell Landing, Ellis Landing, Breakwater Beach, Fisherman’s Landing and Long Pond in the coming year. The Board of Selectmen, acting as the Personnel Board, held two public hearings in 2014. At the June hearing, the Board revised job descriptions for the “Administrative Assistant, Fire/Rescue Dept.”, “Call Firefighter/Paramedic”, and “Call Firefighter/EMT”. We increased the compensation rate for year-round part-time on-call inspectors form $34/inspection to $35/inspection and we adjusted the “Master Mechanic, DPW” job description to reflect that position as reporting to the Foreman as opposed to the Superintendent. In December, in keeping with the Selectmen’s Policy 10, related to a minimum wage, and in response to the increase in the State minimum wage to $9.00/hr, the Board increased the wage rates for several positions, so that no Town position earns less that the State minimum wage rate. In order to comply with Chapter 260 of the State Acts of 2014, the Board also adopted a policy related to granting leave for victims of domestic violence. We discussed re-organizing the Department of Natural Resources and amending job descriptions for that department, as well as creating a new job description to cover duties related to complying with state procurement laws. These last 3 items are anticipated to be discussed further in 2015. As we enter 2015, Brewster is in a period of transition. With many projects and financial restraints on the Town budget and capital funding, many important decisions will be made in the coming year. We invite the residents of Brewster to be part of the process and part of the solutions to the dilemmas we will face. The Town is blessed with a great number of dedicated public servants and volunteers who work tirelessly to improve our operations. Thank you again for your ongoing support. James Foley Chair, Board of Selectmen Ben deRuyter, Vice Chair Pat Hughes, Clerk Peter Norton John Dickson R EPORT OF TOWN ADMINISTRATOR 2014 was a year of continued change and progress, not just for the Town, but for several local entities that represent important threads in the fabric of our community. The Latham Centers is expanding their operations in Brewster by acquiring the old Fire History Museum property on Main Street. Volunteers showed their support by pitching-in for a campus clean-up event. We are all encouraged as the Cape Cod Bible Alliance Church began its re-construction, showing renewed energy after the devastating fire of 2013. We are also excited to see initiation of construction of the new MP Renaissance/Maplewood extended-care facility on Route 124. Other Town events that nurtured community support and yielded valuable improvements were the AmeriCorps week in April, which produced several All Citizen Access projects at numerous beaches and public facilities, and the 2nd Annual Conservation Day in July, which fostered some great new and stronger environmental partnerships. The completion of the Paines Creek culvert and parking retreat project also garnered some renewed enjoyment and proved to be a success. I think it is also fair to say that the effort that went into the Town’s Pay as You Throw unit-based waste disposal fee program paid off, yielding a 47% reduction in the volume of household waste and 26% increase in recycling volume in its first year. The Town continued in 2014 to invest in infrastructure improvements. Two extremely valuable projects that required diligent coordination and cooperation were the Stony Brook Phase II Window Replacement and the Eddy School Roof and HVAC Upgrade projects. The accomplishment of both of these projects during the tight timeframe of a 3-month summer recess was truly commendable and we have many people to recognize; including Pomroy Associates, Habeeb Architects, AKRO Architects, Vareika Construction and Robert Miller, Chairman of the Building & Needs Assessment Committee. Several private roads (Ebenezer Lane, Prell Circle, South Pond & Captain Fitts Drives) were repaired using the Town’s Private Road Betterment Program, which we encourage citizens on private roads to utilize when invest in repairs to their road infrastructure. These projects are a win-win partnership for both the neighborhoods and the Town. Projects funded by the Community Preservation Act (CPA) continue to improve and enhance our Town. The renovation of the Eddy School Playground was completed this fall and provided All Citizens’ Access at that facility. Improvements are being made to several of our Recreation Fields, and CPA funds were used to leverage Coastal Resiliency Grant funds to plan for dune restoration and enhanced parking facilities at Breakwater Beach. The Brewster Baptist Church Steeple Renovation was completed and the Brewster Historic Society is working towards the purchase and preservation of the historic Elijah Cobb House, located off Lower Road. Utilizing funds generated through the adoption of the Community Preservation Act, the Town has continued with a successful strategy of preserving and protecting water resources, open space, and community character by partnering with the State, the Brewster Conservation Trust and others to acquire 26.65 acres of land on Freeman’s Way, 3.29 acres on Black Duck Cartway, and 3 acres of marsh front land adjacent to the Drummer Boy Park. Of special note the Town was a recipient of a $260,364 grant from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, which was applied towards this last acquisition, thereby reducing the Town’s commitment to $140,000. We also forged a new partnership with Habitat for Humanity by assisting in the purchase of 17 acres on Tubman Road (the old Bassett Wild Animal Farm) for phased development of affordable homes. This acquisition project also allowed for the transfer of 3.5 acres, adjacent to the 35 acre town-owned land (where the Police Station and Brewster Memorial Cemetery are located), to be set aside for future general municipal purposes. Not all of our growth and planning has been without controversy. The defeat of the Fire & Rescue Station construction project ballot question by 66 votes came as something of a surprise, because the project received more than a 2/3rds majority affirmative vote at 2013 Fall Town Meeting. The Town has been wrestling for over 14 years with the ever increasing need for an adequate Fire & Rescue facility. Failure is partially attributed to the side-by-side appearance on the over-ride ballot of 3 competing requests; the $707,316 for Brewster’s share of the Nauset Regional Middle School Roof and the $3.3 million Eddy School Roof and HVAC upgrade projects. In addition, it appears as though some voters are not satisfied that the potential for renovating the existing structure as a Fire/Rescue Station has been fully evaluated. Because continued deferral of this project has resulted in a rapidly increasing escalation of costs, the Board of Selectmen has resolved to tackle, again, the question of a renovation versus a new building. The current goal is to better define the scope of the project and to identify a timeline for this imminent public safety need. On a smaller scale, planning has begun to allow for connection of the parking facilities at the Ladies’ Library with that of the Brewster Baptist Church, to better accommodate voting at the Church and larger cultural events at the Library. More much-needed infrastructure projects are just ahead. We were recently informed that the Massachusetts Department of Transportation has authorized funding to rehabilitate the Route 6A in its entirety in 2015. The roadway system will be repaved and numerous drainage problems will be remedied within the scope of this project. In addition, not only will the existing sidewalk system be repaired, but sidewalks will be expanded and connected in many other areas along the Route 6A corridor. In order to prepare for this important project, National Grid, our natural gas provider, is in the process of expanding their distribution infrastructure from Millstone Road to the Orleans town line. Finally the Brewster Water Department will be undertaking a program in the spring of 2015 to replace the existing water service infrastructure along this passage. At the same time the Town has initiated a comprehensive evaluation of the Town’s road infrastructure system, often referred to as a Pavement Management Program. This professionally conducted study of pavement conditions throughout the community clearly indicates the need to accelerate funding for roadway improvements to keep pace with deteriorating conditions. The study determined that roadway investment is underfunded by approximately $1,000,000 per year. All this focus on streets and roads prompted the Board of Selectmen to adopt a Road Safety Coordination Policy and to encourage integration with bike safety improvements. It also prompted the Bikeways Committee to examine key intersections of Town roads with the Cape Cod Rail Trail and to make recommendations for standardized crossing treatments to be included in future engineered designs. Brewster also continues to contribute substantially towards investment in repairs and improvements to our regional infrastructure. Brewster contributed $707,316 towards the $2.5 million roof repairs at the Nauset Regional Middle School, which was supplemented by 37% reimbursement grant through the Massachusetts’ School Building Assistance Program. In addition the Town continues its set-aside of stabilization funds towards the eventual demolition or reconstruction of the Tri- Town Septage Treatment Plant, located in Orleans, MA. While this facility is collectively owned by the Towns of Brewster, Eastham and Orleans, the land is owned by the Town of Orleans. The existing inter-municipal agreement will expire on December 31, 2016. The Town of Orleans is currently evaluating a variety of options concerning the future use of this site. One of Brewster’s greatest community assets is the 1,800-plus acres constituting the Roland Nickerson State Park. In 2014 the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) began an update of the State’s Resource Management Plan. The Board of Selectmen has actively engaged State officials in a dialogue related to Park improvements that could mutually benefit the Town. Some of these concepts include creation of vehicular parking areas closer to the Bay to improve access and alleviate congestion at Town beaches; a plan to improve safe bike access to the beaches; potential land swaps; and the inclusion of a third cottage to the Crosby Mansion lease for added revenue generation. Growth-related impacts continue to fuel the Town’s efforts towards an Integrated Water Resource Management Plan (IWRMP). Working with the Horsley Witten Group, the Comprehensive Water Planning Committee brought a Fertilizer Control Bylaw to the 2014 Fall Town Meeting which was strongly endorsed. The passage of this regulation is expected to provide credit against future requirements to reduce nitrogen emissions into Pleasant Bay. The Town also formed a Coastal Resources Committee in 2014, which will help direct Town efforts toward coastal resiliency. Our work to prevent erosion and loss of beach resources will be assisted by a $ 200,000 Coastal Resiliency Grant, which was competitively awarded in response to an application submitted by the Department of Natural Resources. In addition the Town received a second grant award in the amount of $180,000 to assist in a plan to construct a new protective dune system, and reconstruct the parking lot at Breakwater Beach. Also worthy of note for positive fiscal and environmental impacts are the Town’s renewable energy advances in coordination with the Cape and Vineyard Electric Cooperative (CVEC) and the Cape Light Compact (CLC). Brewster’s Landfill Solar installation is now operational and will generate 1.4 MW of electricity per year of cash off-sets against the Town’s municipal electricity costs. Brewster has also signed “Off-Taker” agreements to purchase excess electricity generated by CVEC’s “green” energy projects in other Towns at a kilowatt price that is currently less than that charged by NSTAR. These initiatives will result in saving of approximately $125,000 annually. Brewster also participated in the CLC’s street light project and replaced all of the Town’s 105 street lights with high-efficiency LED lamps and fixtures, with a 10 year warranty. This conversion will save the Town approximately $5,000 per year. With a keen eye toward the future, and in recognition of the ever increasing pace of change, the Selectmen established a Government Studies Committee this past year to re-examine how the Town does its business and to make recommendations for improvements as we move forward. The Town carried out a similar effort in 1983 and 1995. I also have my eye on the future. I will be retiring from my position as the Town Administrator in the fall of 2015. The Board of Selectmen is in the process of creating a Town Administrator Search Committee that will be working with the consultants from the Collins Center at the University of Massachusetts in Boston to conduct a selection process for a replacement. As always, I would like to recognize the dedicated efforts of our Town employees and the hundreds of volunteer board and committee members, who donate so much of their time, energy, and unique abilities to make our Town the extraordinary and wonderful place that it is. Thank you, All. Respectfully submitted, Charles L. Sumner, Town Administrator R EPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOU NTANT I hereby submit my Annual Report for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2014 in compliance with Chapter 42, Section 61 of the General Laws of Massachusetts.

We processed 564 absentee ballot requests for the November General Election, 85 for the September Primary and 60 for the Annual Town Election. I would like to once again thank Ellen St. Sure, our Town Archivist for her willingness to work with all who inquire on our history. Thank you to Jayanne Sci, the Assistant Town Clerk, for her continued support to myself and the citizens of Brewster. Jayanne graduated this year from the New England Municipal Clerks Institute and is well on her way to becoming a Certified Municipal Clerk.

All uses otherwise permitted in the underlying district are allowed, provided that they meet the following additional requirements, as well as those of the Massachusetts State Building Code dealing with construction in floodplains and coastal high hazards. A. Statement of purpose. The purposes of the Floodplain District are to: (1) Regulate development in areas subject to coastal storm flowage, particularly high hazard velocity zones, in order to minimize threats to public safety, potential loss of life, personal injury, destruction of property, and environmental damage inevitably resulting from storms, flooding, erosion and relative sea level rise. (2) Enable safe access to and from coastal homes and buildings for homeowners and emergency response personnel, such as police, fire and rescue departments or other emergency response officials. (3) Reduce or prevent public health emergencies resulting from surface and ground water contamination from inundation of or damage to sewage disposal systems and storage areas for typical household hazardous substances. (4) Minimize monetary loss and public health threats resulting from storm damage to public facilities (water and gas warns mains, electric, telephone lines, streets, bridges, etc.). Avoid the loss of utility services which, if damaged by flooding, would disrupt or shut down the utility network and impact regions of the community beyond the site of flooding. (5) Eliminate costs associated with the response to and cleanup of flooding conditions. (6) Reduce damage to public and private property resulting from flooding waters. B. Definitions. As used in this section, the following words shall have the meanings specified herein: AREA OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD -- The land in the floodplain within a community, subject to a one-percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year.

This proposed law would eliminate the requirement that the state’s gasoline tax, which was 24 cents per gallon as of September 2013, (1) be adjusted every year by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index over the preceding year, but (2) not be adjusted below 21.5 cents per gallon.

This proposed law would expand the state’s beverage container deposit law, also known as the Bottle Bill, to require deposits on containers for all non-alcoholic non-carbonated drinks in liquid form intended for human consumption, except beverages primarily derived from dairy products, infant formula, and FDA approved medicines. The proposed law would not cover containers made of paper-based biodegradable material and aseptic multi-material packages such as juice boxes or pouches. The proposed law would require the state Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) to adjust the container deposit amount every five years to reflect (to the nearest whole cent) changes in the consumer price index, but the value could not be set below five cents. The proposed law would increase the minimum handling fee that beverage distributors must pay dealers for each properly returned empty beverage container, which was 2¼ cents as of September 2013, to 3½ cents. It would also increase the minimum handling fee that bottlers must pay distributors and dealers for each properly returned empty reusable beverage container, which was 1 cent as of September 2013, to 3½ cents. The Secretary of EEA would review the fee amounts every five years and make appropriate adjustments to reflect changes in the consumer price index as well as changes in the costs incurred by redemption centers. The proposed law defines a redemption center as any business whose primary purpose is the redemption of beverage containers and that is not ancillary to any other business. The proposed law would direct the Secretary of EEA to issue regulations allowing small dealers to seek exemptions from accepting empty deposit containers. The proposed law would define small dealer as any person or business, including the operator of a vending machine, who sells beverages in beverage containers to consumers, with a contiguous retail space of 3,000 square feet or less, excluding office and stock room space; and fewer than four locations under the same ownership in the Commonwealth. The proposed law would require that the regulations consider at least the health, safety, and convenience of the public, including the distribution of dealers and redemption centers by population or by distance or both. The proposed law would set up a state Clean Environment Fund to receive certain unclaimed container deposits. The Fund would be used, subject to appropriation by the state Legislature, to support programs such as the proper management of solid waste, water resource protection, parkland, urban forestry, air quality and climate protection. The proposed law would allow a dealer, distributor, redemption center or bottler to refuse to accept any beverage container that is not marked as being refundable in Massachusetts. The proposed law would take effect on April 22, 2015.

This proposed law would (1) prohibit the Massachusetts Gaming Commission from issuing any license for a casino or other gaming establishment with table games and slot machines, or any license for a gaming establishment with slot machines; (2) prohibit any such casino or slots gaming under any such licenses that the Commission might have issued before the proposed law took effect; and (3) prohibit wagering on the simulcasting of live greyhound races. The proposed law would change the definition of “illegal gaming” under Massachusetts law to include wagering on the simulcasting of live greyhound races, as well as table games and slot machines at Commission-licensed casinos, and slot machines at other Commission-licensed gaming establishments. This would make those types of gaming subject to existing state laws providing criminal penalties for, or otherwise regulating or prohibiting, activities involving illegal gaming. The proposed law states that if any of its parts were declared invalid, the other parts would stay in effect.

This proposed law would entitle employees in Massachusetts to earn and use sick time according to certain conditions. Employees who work for employers having eleven or more employees could earn and use up to 40 hours of paid sick time per calendar year, while employees working for smaller employers could earn and use up to 40 hours of unpaid sick time per calendar year. An employee could use earned sick time if required to miss work in order (1) to care for a physical or mental illness, injury or medical condition affecting the employee or the employee’s child, spouse, parent, or parent of a spouse; (2) to attend routine medical appointments of the employee or the employee’s child, spouse, parent, or parent of a spouse; or (3) to address the effects of domestic violence on the employee or the employee’s dependent child. Employees would earn one hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked, and would begin accruing those hours on the date of hire or on July 1, 2015, whichever is later. Employees could begin to use earned sick time on the 90th day after hire. The proposed law would cover both private and public employers, except that employees of a particular city or town would be covered only if, as required by the state constitution, the proposed law were made applicable by local or state legislative vote or by appropriation of sufficient funds to pay for the benefit. Earned paid sick time would be compensated at the same hourly rate paid to the employee when the sick time is used. Employees could carry over up to 40 hours of unused sick time to the next calendar year, but could not use more than 40 hours in a calendar year. Employers would not have to pay employees for unused sick time at the end of their employment. If an employee missed work for a reason eligible for earned sick time, but agreed with the employer to work the same number of hours or shifts in the same or next pay period, the employee would not have to use earned sick time for the missed time, and the employer would not have to pay for that missed time. Employers would be prohibited from requiring such an employee to work additional hours to make up for missed time, or to find a replacement employee. Employers could require certification of the need for sick time if an employee used sick time for more than 24 consecutively scheduled work hours. Employers could not delay the taking of or payment for earned sick time because they have not received the certification. Employees would have to make a good faith effort to notify the employer in advance if the need for earned sick time is foreseeable. Employers would be prohibited from interfering with or retaliating based on an employee’s exercise of earned sick time rights, and from retaliating based on an employee’s support of another employee’s exercise of such rights. The proposed law would not override employers’ obligations under any contract or benefit plan with more generous provisions than those in the proposed law. Employers that have their own policies providing as much paid time off, usable for the same purposes and under the same conditions, as the proposed law would not be required to provide additional paid sick time. The Attorney General would enforce the proposed law, using the same enforcement procedures applicable to other state wage laws, and employees could file suits in court to enforce their earned sick time rights. The Attorney General would have to prepare a multilingual notice regarding the right to earned sick time, and employers would be required to post the notice in a conspicuous location and to provide a copy to employees. The state Executive Office of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Attorney General, would develop a multilingual outreach program to inform the public of the availability of earned sick time. The proposed law would take effect on July 1, 2015, and states that if any of its parts were declared invalid, the other parts would stay in effect.

ACTION: Defeated; Yes: 153 – No: 357 TOWN CODE AMENDMENT / Control of Fertilizer Nutrient ARTICLE NO. 11: 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. Findings The Town of Brewster herein makes the following findings: A. There is sufficient scientific evidence demonstrating that excessive nutrient enrichment of the region’s water resources can have numerous, significant negative impacts; B. Public health risks from excessive loading of nutrients to water resources may include direct detrimental effects on drinking water sources by increased concentrations of nitrates that can violate Safe Drinking Water Standards; C. Degradation of the quality of water resources can have significant negative impacts to the local and regional economy, and the fiscal well- being of the Town. D. The Town has significant amounts of glacially deposited coarse, sandy soils that are subject to rapid water infiltration, percolation, and leaching of nutrients. E. The Town’s soil characteristics mean that agronomic practices of soil fertilization common in other parts of the region, state and country may not always apply in the Town, as these practices vary by soil type. F. Scientific literature demonstrates that a significant potential source of nutrient loading to water resources is from inappropriate and/or improper use of turf fertilizer. §119-2. Purposes It is the overarching goal of the Town of Brewster to provide a regulatory framework that results in the planting and maintenance of minimally managed turf areas. Consistent with this goal, and based on the findings provided in §119-1, the Town provides this By-Law to achieve the following purposes. A. To ensure application of fertilizer shall be performed in a manner consistent with Best Management Practices (BMP’s), which from time to time may undergo changes in response to scientific research. B. To provide a legal mechanism for enforcement against the inappropriate and/or improper use of fertilizer. C. To incorporate, by reference, the University of Massachusetts Extension’s Turf Management BMP’s as the primary standard for the content and application practices related to turf fertilizer; D. To provide a regulatory tool that will help Brewster to achieve compliance with the Total Daily Maximum Loads (TMDL) for the Town’s water resources prescribed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. E. To provide standards that will allow reasonable use of fertilizers for the enhancement and maintenance of turf quality. F. To conserve valuable waterways and other resources that increase property values, protect the unique environment vital to our economy, and reduce the financial burden on taxpayers and property owners by regulating the outdoor application of nitrogen on turf. G. To help achieve the goals of the Brewster Water Protection DCPC, the Cape-Wide Fertilizer Management DCPC, and the Local Comprehensive Plan. §119-3. Authority This By-law is adopted by the Town of Brewster as Implementing Regulations pursuant to and as authorized by the Fertilizer Management District of Critical Planning Concern designation, Barnstable County Ordinance 13-07, and by Section 9 of Chapter 262 of the Acts of 2012. §119-4. Applicability A. This By-law shall apply to and regulate any and all applications of nitrogen through fertilizer on managed turf areas within the Town of Brewster. B. Applications of fertilizer for agriculture and horticulture uses are exempt from the provision of this by-law as they are regulated by the MDAR Fertilizer Regulations. C. Applications of fertilizer to vegetated areas that do not include managed turf areas are not subject to the provisions of this By-Law as they are regulated by the MDAR Fertilizer Regulations. §119-5.

H. The Town of Brewster shall incur no liability for any damages of any nature whatsoever arising from the project by virtue of the Town's agreeing to finance any repair of a private subdivision way. The abutters who accept Town financing shall be deemed to have indemnified and held the Town harmless against any and all such claims. I. Any private way improved under the provisions of this bylaw need not be brought up to full Town road standards. Any private way improved under the provisions of this bylaw shall continue to remain a private way or take any other action relative thereto.

Help with Ag Conflicts Ever found yourself in a conflict with local government/state agency/your neighbors over your farm stand traffic, spraying with pesticides, animal smells? Contact the Agricultural Mediation Program at the Massachusetts Office of Public Collaboration’s (MOPC), which promotes mediation to prevent/minimize escalation of conflicts, resolve conflicts at the earliest possible stage. MOPC trains Ag Coms to resolve local conflicts; provides outreach/ mediation services, conflict resolution training/support to help sustain farm businesses/ farmlands. It teaches how to prevent/manage conflict effectively and mediates. State Agriculture Day: Local farmers attended MA Ag Day March 26, 2014 in Boston, meeting with officials on current Ag issues. 2015 Ag Day is March 31st. Save the Date! Meet Your Local Farmers March 8, 2014, the Harwich Conservation Trust and Cape & Islands Farm Bureau sponsored local farmers to exhibit products, promote farms, kick off the growing season. The 2015 event: March 7th, Harwich Community Center. Farmers Markets A few Brewster farmers remain involved with the Harwich Farmers’ Market, at the Brooks Academy Museum. No local business has opened a Farmers Market yet in Brewster. Remember to visit winter markets in Orleans and Chatham! Check out “Harvest to Hand,” an app with easy access to fresh farm products/ markets/local harvest festivals/events/pick-your-own/home-spun goods/ family family-friendly farms. Go to www.harvesttohand.com 2014 Winter Moth Survey It’s that time of year again: winter moths are showing up at porch lights. The winter moth (Operophtera brumata) is an invasive species, whose caterpillars efficiently defoliate trees, stripping leaves of oaks, maples and other hardwood trees down to lacy skeletons. The Massachusetts Introduced Pests Outreach Project is an educational component of the Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey Program to increase awareness of introduced pests, help prevent introduction of new invasive pests. Go to http://bit.ly/wintermoth14 to take the survey. Local Zoning Changes Fertilizer Regulations The 2013 CCC Cape-Wide Fertilizer and Pesticide Use Inventory indicated that homeowners were the largest users of pesticides/fertilizers. Fall Town Meeting approved a Fertilizer Management Bylaw; a turf nutrient management/ fertilizer application regulation; covering timing/location/manner of fertilizer application. Fertilizer applications for agriculture/horticulture use/application to vegetated areas without managed turf areas are exempt, covered by MDAR. Aquaculture: The Brewster Aquaculture Association On the waterfront, 8 active sea farms with over 18 individuals continue to produce that delectable bivalve the “Brewster Oyster” and expand its distribution to local restaurants and seafood retailers. Brewster Oysters are raised on the tidal flats of Cape Cod Bay. The distinct flavor of an oyster is due to the pristine water in which it grows. In this case the clean, clear waters of the Bay provide a definitive "bite" to a shellfish connoisseur's palate. Brewster flats are a unique environment for oysters. Aquaculture methods provide secure sites for oysters to grow. Contained in mesh bags, trays or cages firmly anchored against wind, wave and current, Brewster Oysters are protected from predators while being bathed in the plankton rich waters of the Bay. Each oyster is hand selected according to size and appearance for the discriminating raw bar market. About three years of continuous sorting, sizing, and transplanting produces an oyster for market. Association members agree that “Brewster Oysters” are harvested larger/more robust than the state legal minimum. This larger size, plus a defined cup, sets them apart from other oysters. It was hard to get the "Brewster Oyster" where it is today; retaining the individuality/identity and unique Cape Cod flavor/taste. This year’s harvest was 276,089 oysters, a 38% increase over 2013. And, there were problems: sand, pests, predators and biofouling organisms. Ongoing impediments included Blue Mussel sets, oyster oversets and algae growth, requiring hand scraping of almost every oyster before market this year. For more information go to the Brewster Oyster website: www.brewsteroyster.com. Cranberry Harvest UMASS Cranberry Research Station, East Wareham, is an outreach/research center charged with maintaining/enhancing the economic viability of the MA Cranberry Industry. The Station produces numerous publications, including a monthly Newsletter and the “Neighbor-to-Neighbor” guide used to educate residents and visitors about cranberry farming. Contact: cranberry@umass.edu. The Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association, Carver, assists growers in solving everyday problems, offers assistance in regulatory compliance, sponsors professional development seminars and organizes association activities. CCCGA works to ensure that cranberry farming can survive urbanization and that open space and clean water, vital to cranberry growing, will be preserved. Contact: info@cranberries.org The 2014 Cranberry growing season had some old and new issues: fruit firmness, “scald”, new insect pests, pesky perennial weeds and changing fruit rot management protocols to avoid the use of the Bravo fungicide. Winter was colder than average, with 23” above normal snowfall (the fifth highest snowfall in 64 years of record keeping) and warm periods between storms so that a deep, protective, snow cover never developed. Spring had below average temperatures, rainfall and sunshine. Summer was cool, wet and well above average amount of sunshine. Fall was warm, very wet, with above average sunshine. Rain fell predominantly in “large storm” events. Cranberry can usually withstand extreme storm events, even if the bogs become flooded. Unfortunately in 2014, one of those events came during bloom, the least flood tolerant stage. There are approximately 51 acres of cranberry bogs in Brewster. The 2013 crop yielded a state-wide average of 161 barrels per acre (440-540 cranberries = pound, 44,000-54,000 cranberries=100 lb. barrel). Information on the estimated harvest for 2014 will not be available until February 19th, past the due date for this report. For more information go to www.cranberries.org. The Ag Com works closely with the Cape Cod & Islands Farm Bureau, a grassroots organization for more than 70 years, with the goal of making farming more profitable and the community a better place to live. It offers assistance to farmers, as well as the general public. The Bureau welcomes the involvement of members, associate members and the support and encouragement of the entire Cape Cod community, as well as providing 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 Ag issues are involved. Anyone interested in getting involved in agriculture or agricultural issues should contact the Brewster Ag Com at 508-896-3701 x 1149 or Brewster@brewster-ma.gov. On behalf of Brewster’s agricultural heritage…the harvest goes on….. Respectfully submitted, Peter Herrmann, Chair David Carlson, Vice Chairman Rebecca Howes Stephan Brown Jack Latham, Jr Lucas Dinwiddie David Miller REPORT OF THE ALEWIFE COMMITEE The number of fish using our run in the 2014 season was reminiscent of runs in the late 50's and early 60's. Whatever the reason, less by catch in the off shore sea herring fishery, the moratorium on the taking of fish from our run or other conservation and maintenance practices, something is working. In meetings with the State Division of Marine Fisheries, there are discussions regarding the lifting of the ban on the taking of herring at runs in the State. The State and Federal Fisheries management groups feel that each individual run should be able to prove it will be a sustainable fishery. This will require more fish count data. So for the immediate future, our run will remain closed to the taking of herring. Again we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the herring run counters for their time. As you can see, it is this data that will help make decisions as to our runs future. This counting system was implemented by the A.P.C.C. and is widely used across the Cape. We would also like to thank all of the other volunteers. The Americorps group, organized by Ryan Burch from Natural Resources, has again stepped up to clear brush and help maintain hydraulic connection in our extensive stream and pond system. Volunteers from town have again helped clear streams, remove brush, repair and build new stone walls. This volunteer spirit speaks to the dedication of our towns people. All of the volunteers and the support from the towns people at town meeting help make our run and the Grist Mill the successful attraction that it is. Respectfully submitted: Dana A. Condit, Chairman William LeMaitre William Todd R EPORT OF THE ALL CITIZENS ACCESS COMMITTEE The mission of the All Citizens Access Committee is to advise and guide the town of Brewster and the general public regarding issues of accessibility in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. In keeping with its mission, the ACAC has been planning and working to improve accessibility in various areas with members of town departments and committees, especially with Bob Bersin, Superintendent of Department of Public Works; Chris Miller, Director of Natural Resources; Jillian Douglass, Assistant Town Administrator; Ellen Ojala, Director of Recreation, John Dickson, Selectman Liaison and Jim O’Leary, Finance Committee Liaison. • The All Citizen’s Access Committee advised the Eddy School Playground Committee in planning an accessible playground which was completed in November, 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 culminated in a work day in May, 2014 during which a team of Americorps volunteers worked to improve or create accessibility to various recreational areas in the town of Brewster. o New ramp at Council of Aging building o Viewing platforms at Linnell Landing and Mant’s Landing o Lines painted for visually impaired at Whitecaps field and Brewster Ladies’ Library. o Handicap ramps at Quivett Creek Marsh and Long Pond public landing o Raised garden beds at the Brewster Community Garden and Frederick Court Senior Housing • This year, the All Citizen’s Access committee gives thanks the Brewster Police Department for improved handicapped parking at the voting polls and at Town Meeting. The Committee welcomed new member Joan Carstanjen. The All Citizens Access Committee pledges to continue to provide increased accessibility to Town facilities. The Committee welcomes input from the citizens of Brewster and encourages citizens to come join us in our mission. Respectfully submitted, Claire Gradone, Co-Chair Denise Rego, Co-chair/Secretary Joan Carstanjen Judy Miller Roberta Murphy R EPORT OF TOWN ARCHIVIST In addition to writing brief historical essays which are printed in the first pages of each Town Meeting warrant, Brewster’s Archivist has taken on more research-and-writing projects than she is ever likely to complete. These include a re-doing of the historic house inventory compiled in the 1970s; biographical studies of early burials in the Lower Road cemetery; a re-cataloguing of archival materials in the town vault–and a book based on a journal kept by a Brewster ship captain during a shipwreck year. Ellen St. Sure Archivist, Town of Brewster REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS In 2014, the Interim Adjustment of values was completed, certifying that our system for determining property valuations met the standards of the Department of Revenue’s Division of Local Services. This resulted in an increase of the total taxable value of the town of 1.97%, to $3,379,744,690, and a tax rate of $8.26 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation. The average value of a single family house in Brewster increased to $456.500. In 2014 the office staff processed 64 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 accuracy 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 R EPORT OF THE BIKEWAYS COMMITTEE Several of the committee’s initiatives were advanced in 2014.Efforts to involve more citizens and town administrative support has been successful. An experienced facilitator in Mr. Hal Minis was attracted to our mission goals and has contributed outstanding assistance in this regard. After several presentations before town administrators and other key figures agenda items were refined and given positive feedback. They are: • A Nickerson connector. • A feasibility study of bike lanes and sidewalks on Millstone Rd. • A feasibility study of bike lanes on Lower Rd • Bike racks at town facilities and businesses. Presently the committee is assessing bike rack inventory that is town owned and will recommend needed levels. We are also working through the Chamber to encourage local business to have this bicycle accommodation and inform them of the economic benefits. • Directional signs to the CCRT are now posted at key intersections. • Attended various meetings with state and local officials to monitor bike safety requirements on the green lighted 6a repaving. This will result in reduced travel lanes and a 3 foot fog line which will offer increased safety for cyclists. Sidewalks will be enhanced to 5 feet for pedestrians. • Three informational sign kiosks have been erected along the town’s section of the CCRT. A map has been inserted to reflect local roads. We will be seeking funds to improve this display. • We have met with Eric Levy of the CCRT and Nickerson to coordinate our crossways markings. Chief Koch’s advice and approval has been sought for these improvements. • Attended several Friends of CCRT meetings and encouraged repairs to Brewster’s section of the trail, recently accomplished. • The CCRTA agreed to sticker all buses with our bike safety message. This has been done. • Promote through outreach a safety program at Ocean Edge for seasonal workers. We will actively continue to seek ways to promote Brewster as a bike and pedestrian friendly community for both our citizens and visitors. Respectfully submitted Jack Clarke, Chairman Brewster Bikeways Committee REPORT OF THE BGTV VIDEO SERVICES COORDINATOR BGTV Stats and Report for the year 2014 (Jan. 1st through Dec. 31st) This is to outline accomplishments and progress in Brewster Government Television’s (BGTV) development for the year 2014. Essentially my services to the Town of Brewster encompass the production, publishing, and distribution of video and photographic content to Brewster residents and nonresidents and staff via BGTV, the town’s web site, social media sites, and other local and regional cable channels. A Cable franchise fund from the town’s agreement with Comcast provides the funding of equipment and personnel to facilitate and operate BGTV. All the following programming statistics are related to the time period Jan. 1st, 2014, to Dec. 31st, 2014. • The town paid JP Ludwig Consulting Services $68,216.52 for 1531 hours of contract services for the calendar year in 2014. • The town produced 253 (compared to 223 in 2013) first-run programs (the programs that I personally produced for the town) that aired 1776 times. Add that to the programs produced elsewhere, the County, State, other towns, etc., and the grand total is 396 programs that aired 2494 times. Overall there was 3322 hours of programming other than the Electronic Bulletin Board on BGTV in 2014. o Board of Selectmen - 33 first-run programs that aired 251 times o Finance Committee - 23 first-run programs that aired 111 times o Planning Board - 23 first-run programs that aired 131 times o Conservation Commission – 24 first-run programs that aired 91 times o Brewster School Committee - 13 first-run programs that aired 40 times o Town Meetings - 2 first-run programs that aired 23 times o Board of Health - 19 first-run programs that aired 77 times o Zoning Board of Appeals - 15 first-run programs that aired 56 times o Brewster Ladies Library - 15 first-run programs that aired 160 times o Stony Brook Elementary & Eddy School s - 4 first-run programs that aired 76 times o Specials and Events – 23 first-run programs that aired 402 times o Nauset Regional School Committee - 19 first-run programs that aired 87 times o Other Meetings - 40 first-run programs that aired 220 times • Barnstable County - 62 first-run programs that aired 267 times that included: Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates, County Commissioners, Cape Cod Commission, and a few others. • Programs downloaded from the Mass Gov server produced for the state - 4 first-run programs that aired 17 times. • Time Machine, which consists of government-produced archive programs downloaded from Archive.org – 50 first-run programs that aired 250 times. • Total numbers of all first-run shows on BGTV including those produced by the town, Barnstable County, Mass Gov, and Arhive.org - 396 that aired a total number of 2494 times. Compared to last year’s report: 368 that aired a total number of 2470 times. The numbers mentioned above do not include the numerous PSAs (Public Service Announcements) downloaded from the Ad Council that aired on BGTV. Also worth noting are the numerous announcements that are shown on the Electronic Bulletin Board (EBB) describing events in town going on at places like the Council on Aging, Ladies’ Library, Town Hall, etc. For those interested in seeing a more detailed report for 2014 BGTV programming including stats, pie charts, graphs, etc. they are available in great detail: Login to the BGTV user account for the BGTV Network. Earth Channel 2014 Statistics: 2014 was the first full calendar year that the town has used Earth Channel. The Earth Channel platform on the town web site allows easier access through better organization and search abilities for on-demand programs and is compatible to all iOS devices, smart phones, PCs, iPad, iPhone, Droid, etc. It also has reporting abilities (analytics) so data can be gathered for analysis. Maintaining the Earth Channel system for the town is now part of my job description. There were a total of 9960 on demand sessions that break down as follows: Selectmen – 2243 Cons Com – 1512 Planning – 1121 Fin Com – 737 Health – 435 NRSC – 392 Town Meeting – 232 School Committee- 323 ZBA – 189 Ladies Library – 95 School Events – 118 Community Events – 466 Other Government Meetings - 1827 Some other 2014 highlights worth mentioning: • In December of 2014 J.P. Ludwig Consulting responded to a new Request for Proposal from the town for TV and video web production services. I am happy to report that the administration accepted my proposal and that I have signed another 3-year contract with the Town of Brewster. • 2014 field production programming included: Brewster in Bloom, Two lectures from Brewster Conservation Day, 911 Commemoration, Memorial Day, Brewster All Access Day with Americorps, events at Stony Brook & Eddy Elementary Schools including the Eddy School Playground Dedication, authors, lectures and concerts at Brewster Ladies Library and the Brewster Council on Aging. Also several press conferences were produced at the behest of the Town Administration. • BGTV also added some additional meetings on a regular basis: The Comprehensive Water Planning Committee, Brewster Government Study Committee, and the Golf Commission. The Nauset Regional School Committee also meets in Brewster on a regular basis. • BGTV has an on line video file sharing folder, G Channel Cape Cod, that allows for distributing programs of broader local interest to other Outer Cape channels including Lower Cape TV Channel 99, NRSD Channel 22, and government cable Channel 18 in the towns of Orleans, Eastham, Truro and Provincetown. Also the town is subscribing to MassMediaExchange and besides being able to download programs from the county I also upload programs now for viewing regionally. So some BGTV programs have been downloaded not only all over the Cape Region and Southshore, but also in Vermont and New Jersey. • 2014 continued with the entire in-house production of audio/video of Spring and Fall Town Meetings. This year I have also brought in a production assistant for the meetings to decrease set up and teardown time and to reduce the stress involved when it’s a one-person operation. Warrant articles were summarized in BGTV programs by Town Administrator, Charlie Sumner, and Susan Leven, Town Planner, before the meetings took place and aired numerous times on BGTV before each meeting to better inform the citizenry of the issues to be debated. • The town’s Facebook and Twitter feeds were used for the first time for live election coverage in 2014. Short video updates from the polls as well as photos and written posts kept residents informed about voter turnout and the unofficial results were shared as soon as they became available. Once the polls closed a live broadcast of the town clerk announcing the final official results aired on BGTV and then repeated late into the night. • Some technical notes: This year, in order to bring the Master Control System at Town Hall up to date, the town went through the procurement process to replace the Tight Rope Media System (TRMS) hardware at town hall. This entailed replacing two key units, TRMS Cablecast and Carousel, essentially the two computers at the heart of the system. These machines had been running 24/7 for five years, on Windows XP OS, and are essential for video playback and the BGTV bulletin board. They were replaced at a cost of $12,875 installed. Also the Sony Anycast Station, used at Town Meeting for TV production and at Town Hall for recording programs in Room B was replaced with a newer model called the Sony Anycast Touch at a cost of $15,995. The old piece of equipment will be sold with the proceeds going into the general fund. This transaction also went through the procurement process. • BGTV has its own Vimeo channel. HD video versions of special town and school events and programs produced for Brewster Ladies Library can be found at www.vimeo.com/brewsterma BGTV is web streaming at http://brewster-ma.gov/documents-a-archives/channel-18-livestream available to the public 24/7. All programs that the town produces are available at http://brewstera.gov/government-channel-18 and are also simultaneously posted on the town’s official social media. Twitter: @brewstercapecod and Facebook: Town of Brewster Cape Cod Looking to 2015 BGTV will continue to expand and improve in 2015. I make it a point of keeping the town TV facility and equipment current with the most viable and available constantly evolving technology and software. I also invest in my own equipment and software at home for my own business and this benefits the town as well without additional expense to the town. As always 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's electronic realm 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.

Thank you to all the members of the Building Needs Assessment Committee for their volunteering and expertise in their effort to bringing these projects to the Town. A special thanks to Fire Chief Moran, who has spent many hours attending meetings, providing tours for interested citizens and being constantly available as a source of information. I would also like to thank past member Ralph Ingegneri for his unselfish efforts as a Building Needs Assessment Committee member. Thank you to the many Committees for their support and the advocacy and assistance of Charles Sumner, Town Administrator, in our efforts. Thanks to Susan Broderick, Administrative Supervisor, and Donna Kalinick, Administrative Assistant, for preparing the numerous documents and posting of Agendas. Respectfully submitted, Robert H. Miller, Chairman Geof Deering Ralph Ingegneri Dave Telman, Vice Chairman Philip Lindquist Jonathan Phillips REPORT OF THE CAPE COD COMMISSION Keeping a Special Place Special The Cape Cod Commission (CCC) is the regional land use planning, economic development, and regulatory agency created in 1990 to serve citizens and the 15 towns of Barnstable County. The Commission’s objective is to create a sustainable agency, respected for the balanced provision of regulatory, planning and technical services, as outlined in the Cape Cod Commission Act. The current strategic plan of the Commission includes goals, strategies and measures to achieve these major objectives: Financial sustainability, Technical excellence, Environmental protection balanced with Economic progress and Regional consensus. Commission priorities for 2014: I. Wastewater Management: update of the 1978 Section 208 Cape Cod Area- Wide Water Quality Management Plan continues. The watershed based plan uses data already collected by towns as part of their comprehensive wastewater management planning. All solutions are being considered. There is no optimal solution; each watershed is different. Cost is an important part of the discussion; the impact on individual homeowners is a primary concern. If a solution isn’t affordable, it’s not doable. The 208 Plan will be an integrated water/wastewater management system with a series of phased approaches to remediate groundwater/surface water impairments in each watershed. A public draft was issued in August; the final draft due to MA DEP/EPA March of 2015. II. Fertilizer Management District of Critical Planning Concern (DCPC) In response to State legislation to remove the ability of individual communities to regulate fertilizers, the Commission initiated a Cape-wide Fertilizer Management DCPC. Implementing regulations included stakeholder meetings with landscape, turf management, fertilizer industry professionals and the public. Approval by the County in October 2013, allowed towns the opportunity to adopt local bylaws consistent with the implementing regulations. By the end of 2014, Brewster and six other towns had adopted local fertilizer management regulations, all of which were approved as consistent. III. Regional Policy Plan Update The last update in 2009 represented the first substantial reorganization of this guidance document since it was first drafted. Many of the changes being based on recommendations of the 21st Century Task Force, a panel appointed to perform an outside review of the Commission. This update started with three regional meetings in December 2014. Some of the new goals are to: • ease the local comprehensive planning process, • provide regulatory incentives for neighboring towns to plan together, • simplify the regulatory process, • create a framework for regional capital planning. IV. Strategic Information Office: The Commission’s Strategic Information Office (SIO) has continued its technical support and development of an e-permitting platform for Cape towns. Another SIO project was a Cape-wide aerial flyover to produce digital mapping for a comprehensive Geographic Information Service (GIS) dataset. Towns had historically contracted for such services independently. With most towns participating, an estimated $1 million in savings was realized. V. Community Design Services: Design services focusing on land use, streetscape, roadway, development patterns, transportation alternatives such as bicycle and pedestrian amenities, stormwater management, sustainable landscape design, and more. VI. Economic Development: The Commission submitted the first five-year update to the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) in June 2014, establishing regional priority projects for the next five years. Smarter Economy Conference The May 2014 Smarter Economy Conference introduced a new on-line planning tool called FRED, Flexible Regional Economic Development. Driven by 17 information layers of land use, economic and social data, FRED helps identify development potential and challenges in user-selected areas of the Cape. This represents a new way to plan and identify locations best suited for new development, redevelopment and other economic development planning needs. VII. Regional Consensus: The Commission coordinated ongoing planning and policy-making endeavors striving to achieve consensus across the region. Regional Solid Waste Negotiations The Commission facilitated regional negotiations for solid waste disposal on behalf of 11 Cape communities resulting in a $17 per ton reduction in prices offered by Covanta through its SEMASS trash-to-energy plant. Timing of the regional negotiation allowed lower-cost alternatives to enter the marketplace. VIII. Communications/Outreach From January through May 2014, Commission Executive Director Paul Niedzwiecki met with Boards of Selectmen to provide an update on Commission activities and progress of the Section 208 Plan Update. He met with the Brewster Selectmen on March 31st and April 7th. In spring 2014, citizen-initiative petitions seeking town-level action to begin withdrawal from the Cape Cod Commission were presented as town meeting articles in eight towns and a citizen petition for Barnstable Town Council action. All were defeated, on procedural votes or direct votes on the merits. Local Activities: 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: 1. REGULATORY PROGRAM • MP RENAISSANCE: Two minor modifications to this 2012 Development of Regional Impact approval for a residential care facility on Route 124. 2. AFFORDABLE HOUSING • “Ready Renters” Program helped fill affordable rental unit vacancies. • Brewster received $12,000 in District Local Technical Assistance (DLTA) funds to support opportunities for affordable housing/support services. 3. NATURAL RESOURCES AND LAND PROTECTION • Coordinated Cape Cod Pathways, Fall Walking Weekend & Spring Walk • Worked with the Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts (Compact) to up-date open space maps 4. HISTORIC PRESERVATION 2014 Available on-line Cape Historic Preservation Workshops: • “Current Practices in Drafting and Using MHC Inventory Forms” • “Historic Preservation Restrictions and the Community Preservation Act” • “Maintaining Your Historic Property: Historic New England’s Approach to • Preservation & Maintenance” • “Restoring and Protecting Modern Buildings on Cape Cod” 5. TRANSPORTATION In FY2014, the Commission administered more than $30 million in Cape-based transportation projects, funded through the Cape Cod Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). • An $8.5 million resurfacing project for Route 6 (Dennis, Brewster, Orleans) is included in the 2015-18 TIP (endorsed May 2014), scheduled for construction in 2017. • Annual summer traffic counts included sections of: Route 124, Route 137, Route 6 at the Brewster/Orleans town line, Route 6A, Satucket Road, Stony Brook Road, Slough Road and Underpass Road. Traffic data is available at: “www.capecodcommission.org/departments/ technicalservices/transportation/counts” 6. ROUTE 6A LIVING STREETS: The Commission advised the Board of Selectmen regarding how to initiate changes to Route 6A as part of a planned State repaving project based on the 2012 Livable Streets report prepared by the Commission. • CONNECTING TOWN CENTERS: A July 2014 report identified existing and recommended pedestrian and bikeway connections to village centers. Two connections were recommended for Brewster: Underpass Road (from Route 6A) to the Cape Cod Rail Trail and Route 124 – Route 137 to Cape Cod Rail Trail (and Tubman Road bike route). 7. WATER RESOURCES • Worked on 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. • Assisted Comprehensive Water Management Planning Committee 9. WASTE MANAGEMENT Compiled data and background materials for Regional Wastewater Management Plan. 10. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) • Supported all of the above as necessary • Updated open space data with the Compact • Provided support for on-going pond studies • As a part of the April 2014 regional Aerial Flyover GIS Project, Brewster saved an estimated $55,000, versus contracting for services alone. 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 R EPORT OF THE CAPE COD PATHWAYS COMMITTEE The Pathways Committee was created in January of 1998 to establish Brewster’s section of the Cape Cod Pathway. Utilizing existing trails, ancient ways, cart paths, town roads and new trails, this pathway will eventually connect to walking trails in the towns of Dennis, Orleans and Harwich as part of a network of trails spanning the Cape. Its mission includes creating and developing other walking trails in the Town. The Committee continues its work exploring proposed trail routes. The trail is now complete except for three connecting sections in the middle of Brewster. A seven mile section from the Dennis line to Route 137 at Underpass Road has been plotted using GPS and is being marked with trail signs. The Cape Cod Pathways intention is to provide the walker with a variety of experiences while avoiding heavily populated areas as much as possible. Since the center of Brewster is more densely populated than the eastern or western parts of town, we are still trying to finish our connection to Nickerson Park from Underpass Road at Rte 137. The Committee negotiated with several property owners and private associations but so far has been unable to plot the trail along private property edges to connect open space parcels. We welcome suggestions from residents who enjoy walking on how to best connect our path. In 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. During 2014, members of the committee continued to lead walks as part of the Cape Cod Pathways Walking Weekend and Cape Walk programs. The Pathways Committee continues to coordinate with other Brewster Town Committees and work with the Brewster Conservation Trust to assist in our publicity and help establish walking trails in the town. The Pathways Committee specifically works closely with the Director of Natural Resources and the Conservation Commission and we welcome all public participation at our meetings. Respectfully submitted, Gary Christen, Chair Douglas Erickson Beth Finch Jim Gallagher Eric Levy George Thurber Patricia Tammar REP ORT OF THE CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT Cape Cod Regional Technical High School will provide an opportunity to acquire high quality technical, academic, and social skills preparing our students for success in our changing world.

Fyfe CCRTHS School Committee R EPORT OF THE CAPE COD REGIONAL TRANSIT AUTHORITY Dear Brewster Citizens – The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) has provided in Brewster 14,911 one-way passenger trips from January 2014 through December 2014. The Flex and H20 Bus service continues to provide a means for all citizens to have mobility. People (young and old) have learned to use the system to enjoy great flexibility in their lives. For those people living in South Brewster or working at the Peasant Bay Facilities the H2O line (Orleans to Hyannis) provides Flag Stop service on Route 39. The schedules provide for great connections and convenience with the H2O (Orleans to Hyannis) and Provincetown shuttle More people are finding that the bus is an efficient and enjoyable way to travel. The service provides a means for people without other transportation to lead normal lives. The use of the service by everyone also contributes to fewer cars on the road and a better atmosphere. Brewster ridership on the Flex route for this year from January to December 2014 was 4,419 people which are the total of riders who boarded the buses in Brewster; this does not include people arriving from other towns. Total Flex ridership for all seven towns was 70,445. The Flag Stop pick up in Brewster makes it very convenient to “catch a bus.” Consider the number of automobiles this has kept off our roads and elimination of exhaust fumes The DART (Dial-a-Ride Transportation) Service for Brewster people added up to 5,915 one way trips. 204 people enjoyed the use of this service. There were 4,673 rides in 2013. Total DART passenger trips in the fifteen towns of Cape Cod were 224,898 in 2014 compared to 215,267 in 2013. 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 39 Brewster residents with 179 one-way trips. The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority provides the Brewster Council on Aging a Mobility Assistance Program (MAP) vehicle that provided 4,577 rides in 2014. This compares with 3655 rides in 2013. “Use the Third Bridge, Ride the Train” was again a total success for the CapeFLYER this past summer helping all riders avoid the traffic and have an enjoyable ride. A special Bicycle Car was added to make the bringing of bikes a lot easier. Starting Memorial Day weekend this year the CapeFLYER will ride the rails again. 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 R EPORT OF THE CAPE COD WATER PROTECTION COLLABORATIVE 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 through the 208 process described below. 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 is a comprehensive Cape-wide review of water quality issues facing the region, with a 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 so much of the effort on wastewater was in support of the development of the plan. The Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative 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, addressed 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. The watershed based planning has provided management solutions that are less costly and require less infrastructure to be built than conventional planning efforts may recommend. The Massachusetts Legislature has adopted the 208 framework as a basis for allocating state financial assistance and has adopted authority to enable the type of watershed permits envisioned in 208 to be issued. The ongoing lawsuits between the Conservation Law Foundation, and the United State Environmental Protection Agency remains unresolved as of this 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 stayed intact. R EPORT OF THE CAPE LIGHT COMPACT 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 award-winning energy services organization operated by the 21 towns and two counties on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. The Compact’s mission is to serve its 200,000 customers through the delivery of proven energy efficiency programs, effective consumer advocacy, competitive electricity supply and green power options. For more information, visit www.capelightcompact.org. POWER SUPPLY Pricing in 2014 continued to be driven by regional natural gas concerns. The winter of 2013/2014 saw an even more pronounced price spike than was experienced during the preceding winter, as cold weather drove increased demand for natural gas for heating and electricity. This resulted in periodic constraints on the transmission used to transport natural gas into New England, driving natural gas and electricity prices to record highs. While oil units were dispatched to help ensure reliability in the face of limited gas supplies, this further contributed to increased electricity costs. The repeated winter price spikes to lead to regional conversations about how to resolve the issue. The six New England governors, through the New England States Committee on Electricity (NESCOE), discussed a proposal to procure additional gas pipeline capacity by adding a fee onto the rates of all New England electricity consumers. While the proposal generally received consensus from all six administrations, Massachusetts, following the failure of several Patrick administration-supported energy bills to pass, withdrew its support of the plan. Instead, the Commonwealth chose to focus on other potential solutions, most importantly, energy efficiency. While the incoming administration may decide to support the NESCOE proposal, several federal approvals would still be needed before it could be enacted. Even if these approvals were awarded, it would still likely take several years before a major expansion in pipeline capacity could be completed. This means that prices are likely to remain high over the next several years. Pricing periods covering the first half of the year, which includes the most expensive months, are likely to stay very high, while second half pricing will likely be slightly lower. Gas pipeline owner Spectra is pursuing a modest expansion of its existing Algonquin pipeline, but the limited size of the project is not likely to significantly impact prices, and won’t be completed before the end of 2016 at the earliest. In 2014, Cape Light Compact provided energy to residents and businesses in accordance with a competitive electricity supply contract negotiated by the Compact with ConEdison Solutions. For 11 months, the Compact’s price was lower than NSTAR’s. The Compact also issued an RFP for a new supplier contract starting in December 2014. The contract was awarded to ConEdison Solutions for residential customers and NextEra for commercial and industrial customers. As of the most recent count, the Compact had approximately 6,000 electric accounts in the Town of Brewster on its energy supply. 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. In 2014, the Compact focused much of its advocacy on grid modernization and time-varying rates. Both issues will have far-reaching impacts on customers on the Cape, affecting reliability, the cost of electricity and how prices are set, and the ability of our systems to accommodate increasing amounts of renewable energy. In March of 2014, the Compact also submitted to the Department of Public Utilities revisions to its Aggregation Plan, a document originally submitted around the time of the Compact’s inception. The Compact is currently awaiting a final order from the Department. 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) and a portion of the “distribution charge” ($0.01510 for residential customers and $0.00972 for commercial and industrial customers) that appears on each customer’s electric bill. Other Cape Light Compact efforts include: • A total of 106 streetlights in Brewster were retrofitted with LEDs, saving approximately 24,000 kWh and $6,000 in energy and maintenance costs annually. The Town also received 360 bulbs through the Leading by Example program. • Again, Brewster saw an active year with the Compact’s Energy Education Outreach Program as teacher, Mr. Rafe Torres, lead his 5th grade energizers from the Eddy School on an Energy Carnival tour that brought the world of energy efficiency, renewable energy and the science of energy to students in schools throughout the Cape.

This was the result of 3 members out of 5 resigning from the Commission and the Commission's inability to attract new members. The Commission appealed to the Board of Selectmen and was allowed to reduce the required membership to 3 members. Then by adding a new member, Albert Fitzgerald, we have been able to meet with a quorum over the past six months. The Commission focused on repairs needed to gravestones and the gate at the Ancient Cemetery. We were successful with the help of the DPW to secure the gate preventing it from swinging freely but also enabling it to be closed. One large gravestone was rehabilitated by Gravestones of New England Inc, a subcontractor we have used many times and paid for out of Historic Preservation funds. However we are held back from doing anything other than gravestone repairs due to the limitations put on our only source of funding. We will draft an Article for the next town meeting asking for funds to repair the Ancient Cemetery fence and Information Board from the Historic Preservation funds. At its November meeting the Commission voted to ban dogs from The Brewster Memorial Cemetery. Our Rules and Regulations manual indicates that dogs must be on leashes but the current sign at the cemetery says no dogs. We will correct this document. The Commission approved the burying of a group of unidentifiable old gravestones which have been stored at the DPW for years. They will be buried at Breakwater Cemetery and a marking stone placed on top. The Commission is following the installation of row markers approved at Town Meeting last year to make sure these are purchased and placed according to the Article. These are on order and the land is in a condition now to allow the subcontractor to put them in. The Commission has made a number of field trips to the various cemeteries and is capturing pictures of stones in need of repair or cleaning. Minor cleaning will be done by Commissioners when they are available but most cleaning will be contracted out to a specialist as doing it wrong can cause further deterioration in the stones. Thomas C. Rogers, Chair Janet Hicks Albert Fitzgerald REPORT OF THE COASTAL COMMITTEE The Board of Selectmen established the Brewster Coastal Committee in July 2014. The objective of the Brewster Coastal Committee is to develop a management plan for Brewster’s coastal resources. The Committee is to have seven members and is expected to: • Conduct an assessment of the coastal processes, natural resources, existing uses and management practices on Brewster’s Cape Cod Bay shore (the area extending from the bay facing- edge of the uplands to the lowest low tide of the intertidal flats) • Identify critical areas of the bay shore, including those that support important uses of the resource, either by humans or coastal species and those that are vulnerable to erosion or affected by upland development • Identify a range of alternatives to address: ¾ future management of all the coastal resources of Brewster’s bay shore ¾ public access to the bay, including alternatives to onsite parking lots ¾ rising sea levels and increases in storm intensity, including retreat and re-location • Recommend on-going, immediate (1-3years), short-term (4-6 years) and long- term ( 6+ years) actions • Recommend ways of securing funding, including new or changes to current means of generating revenue for coastal management and protection The Committee met twice in December 2014. At its first meeting, Chris Miller, DNR Director, provided an overview of Brewster’s coastal resources, including the town landings and beaches and the efforts Brewster has made to address water quality and erosion issues. He highlighted the state coastal resiliency grant the Town was awarded to identify the natural systems at risk, the forces shaping coastal change, including sediment fate and transport, and projected sea level rise, and allow the Town to conduct long term planning to relocate or adapt our most at-risk infrastructure. The grant will provide information important to the Committee’s development of the coastal resources management plan. The Committee reviewed the proposed plans for Breakwater Beach retreat and green infrastructure project at its second meeting. Members of the Committee are: Joseph Rinaldi, Chair Abigail Franklin Secretary James Goodrich Chet Lay Steve McKenna Matt Cannon R EPORT OF THE COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE Now in its tenth 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 MA Community Preservation Act (CPA). The State government “match" comes from a small statewide fee on real estate transactions. From 2005-2007 the State provided a 100% match, thereby doubling the amount that the Town could spend in the designated areas. The State match for CPC funds declined each year from 2008-2012, initially to 77% then as low as 32%. In 2013 the match rose to 63%, falling to 38% in 2014. When Brewster Town Meeting approved the Community Preservation Bylaw it provided for expenditures in the following areas: ¾ Open Space Acquisition - 50% ¾ Historic Preservation -10% ¾ Community Housing -10% ¾ Historic, 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. Over its history, the CPC has recommended and Town Meeting has approved 21 Historic Preservation awards totaling over $1.74 million; 10 Community Housing awards totaling just over $2 million; 6 Recreation awards totaling over $637,000; and 12 Open Space awards totaling just over $5 million. Six projects were approved at the May 2014 Town Meeting: 1. Historic Preservation: $350,000 Brewster Historical Society (BHS) - towards purchase of the Elijah Cobb House for preservation as its museum and for general public access. This will be the only Brewster sea captain’s home open to the general public. 2. Historic Preservation: $81,000 Brewster Baptist Church Steeple Restoration Project- funds for renovation of the façade of the church, replacing the steeple that had been damaged by powder post beetles. The church was constructed in 1860 with an addition added in 1911, where the steeple is located. 3. Community Housing: $300,000 Habitat for Humanity, Inc. – for the acquisition, design, permitting and development of deed restricted affordable ownership housing on a portion of property located at 620 Tubman Road. At the November 18, 2013 Special Town Meeting, Town voters had approved $600,000 for the purposes of acquiring and developing land for the construction of six (6) deed restricted affordable homes. Habitat identified a parcel and requested an additional $300,000 towards the purchase. The parcel was eventually purchased for $900,000, with the Town acquiring the rear 3.56 acres for general municipal purposes. This property will now be used to develop fourteen (14) affordable homes. 4. Open Space: $114,000 Viprino Property- this acquisition preserving 3.29 acres of contiguous forest land, critical habitat and wetland buffer zone is within the Punkhorn Parklands. Located in a Zone II to public water supply wellfields for Harwich and Brewster, this parcel is very near the Town’s newest well #6. 5. Recreation:$62,000 Recreation Department: Fields Repair and Renovation-The Department’s eight (8) fields are vital assets to the community. They were in need of a variety of improvements: fencing repair/replacement, dugout repair/replacement, field restoration, storage sheds for equipment, drainage repair. Without this investment it is likely that these fields would have had to be closed. These areas are used for many activities: baseball, softball, soccer, walking and exercise, bike riding, dog walking, picnicking, family reunions and games, social activities, fundraisers and special events. The fields are also rented to area groups and are an important revenue source for the Department. 6. Recreation: $59,675 Department of Natural Resources Breakwater Beach Restoration Project- Breakwater Landing is a Town-owned 3.4-acre recreational park, with a 59-space parking area and an approximately 300-foot beach located on Cape Cod Bay. It is also an important access point to the Brewster Flats for vehicles providing emergency response. This Landing has been subject to repetitive severe storm damage, losing a number of parking spaces and having sand deposition 100 ft. into the parking lot. The Town will remove and relocate the asphalt parking lot from near the beach to an area less vulnerable to storm damage, provide comparable parking, restore an extensive protective and resilient dune habitat behind the beach, improve beach access, minimize impervious cover, and install green stormwater infrastructure to improve water quality for swimming, shellfishing and habitat. The Town received a $200,000 MA CZM Coastal Resilience Green Infrastructure grant, requiring a 25% match (cash and in-kind). The CPC funds plus an in-kind match from the Town provided the requisite 25%. One project was approved at the November 2014 Town Meeting: 1. Open Space: $500,000 Eldredge Property- the Town voted to acquire and conserve 3.08 acres abutting the 17-acre Drummer Boy Town Park. This waterfront building lot, strategically located between historic Main Street and Quivett Marsh, had been a high priority acquisition for the Town for many years. The purchase price of $500,000 reflects a seller’s discount, owing to a state tax credit for preserving critical habitat and marsh-front protection land. The Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT) pledged $100,000 towards the purchase price, lowering the Town’s net cost. In addition, the Town received a State LAND grant of $260,000 towards the purchase, reducing the purchase cost to $140,000. The land is now under the custody of the Town Conservation Commission and further protected by a Conservation Restriction held by the BCT. This purchase will enable the Town to extend a walking trail from the Drummer Boy out to an overlook of the marshes, with a view to Cape Cod Bay. 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 a long term bond issued by Brewster to finance a prior purchase. 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. Bond payments are from CPC funds. As a part of acquiring open space parcels, the Town standardly applies for State Land Grants. Between 2006 and 2014 Brewster acquired twelve open space properties totaling 178.57 acres with a total acquisition price of $9,843,680. State LAND grants, as well as other funding was secured for these purchases resulting in a net cost of 51% or $5,054,680, a final per acre cost of $28,306. Less funding has been available in the last few years, making individual land grants harder to obtain. However, the Open Space Committee has worked closely with the BCT and the Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts to foster partnerships with other conservation trusts, as well as neighboring towns to purchase a number of properties, resulting in reduced costs to Brewster, even without State LAND grants. In the Town’s most recent purchase the Town’s final portion was 28% of the purchase price. This year two members resigned, Martin Kamarck, Citizen Member and Donald Arthur, Historic Commission representative. We wish to thank both of them for the time and energy they devoted to the Committee. We especially wish to thank Don Arthur for the work he did as Treasurer, setting up numerous spreadsheets which allow us to accurately keep track of Committee projects and expenditures. We also wish to thank George Boyd, who replaced Don Arthur as the Historic Commission representative. George has since resigned and was replaced by Joan Carstanjen. Peter Johnson has also joined as a Citizen Member. A hearty welcome to Joan and Peter. 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.

Staff support provided by Sue Leven, Town Planner The Integrated Water Resources Management Plan The CWPC, in conjunction with its consultant, Horsley Witten Group (HWG), has continued its work on a town-wide Integrated Water Resources Management Plan (IWRMP), begun in 2009 and will be issuing a draft report and implementation plan in early 2015. Ongoing studies since inception of the plan have found that broad-scale sewering will not be required in the town and the water supply system has the capability of providing adequate quantities of excellent quality water. The primary problems to be addressed are Brewster’s contribution of nitrogen-laden groundwater to impaired estuaries, such as Pleasant Bay and the water quality in Brewster’s 80 ponds. Key recommendations of the plan include a program to upgrade or relocate septic systems which are contributing phosphate to ponds, in the form of a Board of Health regulation. HWG prepared a draft regulation and has met with the Board of Health several times to discuss its implementation. In addition, the plan calls for improved stormwater management town-wide to protect ground- and surface-water quality. A draft stormwater management bylaw was prepared by HWG in conjunction with CWPC and is now under consideration by the Planning Board for presentation at Spring Town Meeting in 2015. Pleasant Bay Nitrogen Management Brewster is responsible for nitrogen loading to portions of Pleasant Bay as determined by the Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP). After evaluating alternatives for the Pleasant Bay watershed, CWMP has determined that the nitrogen load could be abated through the following actions: reduced fertilizer application at Captain’s Golf Course (already accomplished); recapture of nutrients (nitrogen) through golf course irrigation wells; control of fertilizer use town-wide through a fertilizer bylaw (adopted in November 2014) and shellfish propagation in Pleasant Bay. The degree to which these measures will be accepted as credits for the reduction of the nitrogen load is under discussion with the Cape Cod Commission and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). In addition, coordination with Orleans will be required to for the creation of oyster reefs or aquaculture in Pleasant Bay. These issues will be addressed in the coming year. Ponds The CWMP has identified pond water quality as the most significant water quality problem in Brewster. Ponds are impacted by urbanization and residential development on their shores, with stormwater runoff containing fertilizer and other pollutants and septic system leachate containing nutrients, (primarily phosphates) as primary sources. To assist in the identification of pollution sources to Brewster ponds CWPC produced an atlas of 43 Brewster ponds delineating the land areas contributing groundwater flow or surface runoff (watersheds) to the individual ponds. The CWMP conducted detailed evaluations of Schoolhouse, Walkers, Upper Mill and Lower Mill ponds. The studies show how each pond is a unique ecological system and in addition to watershed factors the sources of problems can include the sediments in the pond itself, vegetation, birds and other organisms. Recommendations include improved stormwater facilities, septic system retrofits, increased shoreline buffer areas and public education. In-pond techniques include alum stabilization of phosphate in the sediments and harvesting of vegetation. These studies will serve as models for future pond work in the town as they provide detailed explanations of the cost and feasibility of the various techniques available for pond remediation. During the coming year the town will seek funding for implementation of the management plan for the Mill Ponds. Since many ponds are under private ownership and are beyond the scope of town management, the CWPC supported the formation of the non-profit Brewster Ponds Coalition, which will serve as a clearinghouse for information and coordination of studies and grants for pond and lake associations and private pond-front landowners. Regional Issues The Cape Cod Commission (CCC) has issued a draft updated regional “208” Areawide Water Quality Management Plan under the Federal Clean Water Act, which focuses on nutrient contamination of the embayments surrounding the Cape. The plan requires the formation of sub-regional waste management agencies to address water quality where a watershed to an impaired coastal embayment crosses town boundaries. Brewster shares watersheds with Orleans, Harwich and Dennis. The Brewster IWRMP is already structured on a watershed basis, however the requirements for creation of a joint management agency with neighboring towns is a new challenge which will be addressed in the coming year. In addition, the CCC 208 plan promotes the concept of adaptive management which will allow towns to try alternative technologies such as innovative toilets or shellfish propagation and monitor their effectiveness. This provides considerable flexibility to communities such as Brewster who wish to avoid sewering, and will provide a source of grants to test out many of the new technologies.

Public outreach activities included a booth at Brewster Conservation Day, website maintenance and the preparation of public information documents. Brewster residents are encouraged to attend meetings of the CWMP on the2nd and 4th Monday of the month and to become actively involved in the review and implementation of the Integrated Water Resources Management Plan in the coming year. Website Information on the CWMP programs can be found by clicking on the “Water Planning” icon on the Town of Brewster’s homepage (www.brewster-ma.gov). REPORT OF CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Brewster Conservation Commission has the challenging task of protecting the interests and functions of its wetland and coastal resources, while respecting the rights and interests of Brewster’s property owners. This is done through the implementation of both the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (enacted in 1972) and the town’s own Brewster Wetlands Protection By-law (enacted in 1984), which protects interests specific to Brewster’s coastal and pond environments. Both of these instruments lay out a review process for any work proposed within 100 feet of wetland resources. They establish performance standards designed to protect the important interests of the various types of wetland resources. Projects must meet these established performance standards for the project to be approved. Enforcement of our wetland regulations continues to be a priority and a challenge for the Commission. These cases require the Commission to spend significant time, energy and money to successfully enforce and resolve. The Commission 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. 2014 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. The Conservation Commission was coming off their busiest year ever in 2013. The number of applications and filings submitted to the Conservation Commission was down slightly in 2014, however, the Commission held numerous hearings and continuances due to the complex nature of the filings. Paul Wightman is now the Chairman, bringing extensive knowledge to the table. Michael Tobin is the Vice-Chairman. In 2014, the Brewster Coastal Committee was formed and Commissioner Stephen McKenna became the Conservation Commission’s representative to that committee. The Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel was also formed in 2014 and Associate Commissioner Virginia Iannini became the Conservation Commission’s liaison to the panel. Bruce Evans serves as the Conservation Commission representative on the Brewster Comprehensive Water Planning Committee. William Klein serves as the Conservation Commission representative on the Open Space Committee and the Community Preservation Committee. All committee members should be applauded for their commitment and hard work in this extremely busy year. Gratitude should also be extended to James 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.

It prefaces the message that Brewster is Cape Cod’s Ecotourism Destination – a unique community with the environmental and cultural assets to support the claim. Also during FY14, the chamber continued to offer the programs created the year before in addition to running the town information center daily during June, July and August. • “Best of Brewster” TV is now in its 2nd full year and can be seen on channel 99 Monday through Saturday at 12:30 PM and on Sunday at 9:30 AM. This talk show features guests that are involved in local government and also a Spotlight Business who is a member of the Brewster Chamber. • 3rd Annual Green Halloween, in collaboration with the CC Museum of Natural History and media sponsor 102.3 The Dunes provides a safe (and crafty) Halloween celebration for more than 200 children the last Sunday of October • The chamber has now taken over all aspects of administration, marketing and fundraising for Brewster for the Holidays, the 3-day town- wide festival held the first weekend in December. • The “Welcome New Brewster Property Owner” program continues to provide basic town and business information to our newest full and part- time residents. • The “We Referred You” program has become very popular with chamber members looking forward to know that their business was referred by chamber staff. And only chamber members are referred! • BCC continues as a Viridian Associate offering members green energy alternatives. • BCC and the four other Lower Cape Chambers present the 6th Annual Lower Cape EXPO with more than 85 vendors and 3,500 attendees • Brewster in Bloom breaks the craft show record again with 92 craft vendors; town-wide support for the festival continues. • “Best of Brewster” magazine, is published for the 4th year, mailed to all Brewster tax payers including part-time residents at their primary address. We are hearing from people that they look forward to receiving their annual copy! • BCC presents “Recycle Relay” (again) during Brewster Conservation Day. • BCC continues as a partner of the five Lower Cape Chambers to market the region as “old Cape Cod” and with LC3 (Local Cape Chambers Collaborative) working on issues that impact businesses across Cape Cod. The Mission of the Brewster Chamber of Commerce (BCC) is to strengthen, promote and support the economic feasibility, cultural richness, environmental sensitivity and social needs of Brewster. The Chamber encourages the spirit of fair trade and good business practices. This mission is met through a variety of programs and events undertaken by the Chamber including but not limited to the Member Advertising Program, Brewster in Bloom, and the Lower Cape Home & Garden EXPO. The two part- time year–round professional staffers facilitate the work plan of the Board of Directors and assist Chamber volunteers. Two seasonal part-time staffers work for 14 weeks in the summer to assist in providing visitor services. R EPORT OF THE COUNCIL ON AGING The Brewster Senior Center is housed in a grand 140 year old building that is important to the legacy of our wonderful town. But sadly, it does not come close to filling the needs of our growing senior population. According to the 2010 Census, seniors 55 and over make up 47.5% of our total resident population. All of us on the COA Board observe daily the shortcomings the building presents to Denise Rego, COA/Senior Center Director, and her staff. Several members of the COA Board recently visited 3 neighboring Senior Centers on a fact finding tour. These visits reinforced our belief that the Brewster Senior Center facility is drastically compromising both services and programming, as well as potentially jeopardizing the safety of our seniors. It is time to provide Brewster Seniors with a facility comparable to other Cape Town Senior Centers which is functionally designed and equipped to meet the multi physical, cognitive social support needs of seniors, all keys to successful aging and longevity. At the Fall 2014 Town Meeting, $35,000 was appropriated for a needs/feasibility study for a new Senior Center/Community Center. This study will start the process of providing us with a comprehensive report, detailing the needs of a new facility for both seniors and the community as a whole. 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. Staffing: The COA has 3 full-time employees: director, administrative assistant and a bus driver. The COA has 4 part-time employees: one15-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, 4 additional hours for our senior clerk, 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: Last year, 124 volunteers provided 5,382 hours of service. These wonderful 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 crew, food distribution, kitchen help, medical equipment shed maintenance, Meals on Wheels delivery, medical appointment transportation, newsletter assembling, and the Sea Captains Thrift Shop, which is located behind the Senior Center. 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. 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. Respectfully submitted, Robert Deloye, Chairman Suzanne Dean Ben deRuyter, Selectman’s Liaison Jackie deRuyter Dennis Hanson, Finance Committee Liaison Gennie Moran Cynthia O’Leary Denise Rego, Director Diane Richards Loretta Ruchinskas Karen Thurber Timothy Whelan REPORT OF CROSBY MANSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE The past year was a successful one at Crosby Mansion as two major projects were completed. The last sections of arches and columns on the front porch have been restored and a new restroom facility off the function room was finished. This allowed us to once again hold wedding functions on property, (which we had not done for many years) and add additional open house dates as well. The new restroom was very well received by all attendees and will now allow us to book in more functions to generate much needed revenue! The restroom addition cost the Friends group just under $120,000 and we still have one final payment due of $32,500 to pay off our new septic system loan! All of our open house series were very well attended. This year we extended our tours into the spring and fall seasons. The first Open house tour kicked off during the Brewster in Bloom weekend, several more during the summer months, ending with Columbus Day weekend. We once again welcomed and held events that benefited Town and local organizations such as Friends of Brewster Elders annual cookout, B.A.P.R group meeting, team building event for Brewster Lady’s library, etc. Our dedicated volunteer painting crew continues on the exterior and interior of the Mansion. They painted all interior walls and halls of new restroom and function room. Several of our volunteers took on the task of repairing the entire third floor back dormer windows (Eight in all). This dormer was added in the early 70’s when it was the girls camp (Seascape) and all of them were in horrendous shape. Professional wallpaper restorers donated their time to go through every room checking and re-hanging any areas that needed attention Our 2014 cottage rental season was also a huge success with both reserved starting mid-June and ending mid-September. We made improvements to both cottages keeping them up to date and appealing for both returning and new renters. The bungalow has newly painted bedrooms and ceilings, exterior trim painted and a new gas grille The Ranch exterior trim was painted, new living room TV, deck chairs and a new gas grille Having the rental funds from these two gems means the Crosby Mansion will safely prosper for years. 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 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 REPORT OF THE CULTURAL COUNCIL 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 2014, the Brewster Cultural Council received $4200 to award for cultural programs. The Council received 20 LCC applications and approved 13. Successful applicant projects included: Meeting House Chamber Music Festival’s Summer Chamber Music Series, The Academy of Performing Arts, 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, Cape Cod Alzheimer’s Services, Cape and Islands Community Development Project and special children’s programs at the Brewster ladies Library. In addition, the Council sponsored and organized the Seventh Annual Brewster “Literary Evening,” readings by Brewster writers in October, 2014, the Eight Annual Art Exhibit of Brewster Artists in March, 2014, and in May, 2014 our Second Musical program. All programs 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 Nancy Phillips and Ralph Marotti for their many years of service and for their valuable contributions to the work of the Council. Respectfully submitted, Joan Bernstein - Chairperson Susan Daly – Secretary Joan Swaluk– Treasurer Maureen Callahan Claire Gradone Benton Jones Jo Ann Phillips Nancy Phillips Milton Teichman REPORT OF THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR During 2014 The Town of Brewster was affected by several winter snow storms that significantly challenged the staff members assigned to the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) and other Town employees designated to provide field based emergency response and road plowing services to the community. Intense snow storms on January 3, January 21, February 15, and a powerful late season blizzard on March 26 forced the closing of schools, businesses, and Town Hall on several occasions and severely impacted the workforce and equipment of the involved departments. Due to their length and intensity these large storms required the recall of off-duty employees and department heads to ensure the proper level of emergency services were delivered to the community. As in past years Fire Headquarters was used as the operational base for staff members due to its central location in Town and available rehabilitation facilities. While these long term storm events seriously strained the resources of the community and the physical well-being of the employees all of the tasks required to ensure the community was managed safely and effectively were implemented and carried out in a professional and efficient manner. 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 were held during 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. Emergency management personnel also continued to work cooperatively with the Cape Cod Regional Planning Committee, the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Barnstable County Regional Emergency Planning Committee to maintain a continuous level of community response readiness and knowledge of regional emergency response and sheltering plans. Also during the year the Office of Emergency Management received an EMPG Grant from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This $5,075.00 award was used to purchase incident command equipment for the emergency management group, police, and fire departments. It will also be used to fund our third annual Table Top exercise which will be conducted during the first quarter of 2015. This real-time training exercise that will be administered through the Horsley-Witten Group will involve the real time management of a hazardous material incident at the transfer station. During the program attending LEPC members and other first response personnel will be challenged to develop emergency response plans and implement strategies and tactics designed to mitigate the presented emergencies. Some other highlights of the committee’s efforts in 2014 include: • Purchased incident management equipment to enhance response readiness • Received top tier grading during an emergency response readiness review conducted by Barnstable County • Assisted Cape Code Sea Camps with evacuation plan review Local Emergency Planning Committee Members Charles Sumner Richard Koch Robert Moran Paul Anderson Nancy Ice Sue Leven Denise Rego Lisa Souve Don LaBonte Chris Miller Kathy Cockcroft Tom Thatcher Sherrie McCullough Victor Staley Jillian Douglass Donna Kalinick Sue Broderick Lisa Vitale Heath Eldredge REPORT OF THE BREWSTER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL COMMITTEE The Brewster Elementary School District is responsible for providing a quality education for all students from kindergarten through fifth grade. The Stony Brook Elementary School houses kindergarten through grade two as well as two classrooms for the Integrated Preschool Program, as well as an all-day YMCA sanctioned childcare which is housed in 5 empty classrooms. The Integrated Preschool also includes community friends which are integrated with the children with special needs. There was one child that we had to send out of district to get the program that the child needed. The revenue generated from the new YMCA program will be spent on the two schools and their needs for maintaining the integrity of the buildings. The Eddy Elementary School houses children in grades three through five and shares space with the Recreation Department. In addition, many non-profit organizations benefit from being able to utilize the space in the elementary schools when children are not in school, including the Brewster Band, First Parish Brewster Unitarian Universalist Church, Bible Alliance Church, Nauset Youth Alliance, Brewster Little League, the Cub Scouts, the Brewster Whitecaps, the Brewster Bayside Skippers, and other Recreation programs. The School Committee recognizes that it is our professional educators, administrators, and support staff who help inspire students to learn and grow. The children of Brewster have excelled in many areas thanks to the competence and dedication of these professionals, of whom 100% are highly qualified. The Eddy Elementary School was recognized as a “Very High” achieving school in both English Language Arts and Math based on MCAS performance, and Data Teams have been formed to thoroughly analyze student work in order to continue improving. All students with special needs were able to be integrated into the schools this year, thanks to the development of the “I CAN” (Individualized Comprehensive Adaptive Needs) Program. Flexible groupings were maintained to enhance math instruction in grades 3, 4, and 5, and the SEA Program (Student Enrichment and Acceleration) was enhanced to challenge all the students along with the high achieving student. We have enriched our class rooms with white boards, IPads and other technology that is being used now and will be in the future. While the focus of any school system should always be on its children, maintenance of both buildings cannot be ignored. The School Committee is thankful that the Town of Brewster has paid for, through funding by the town and its’ generous taxpayers the money needed to replace the roof, HVAC systems and sidewall in the Eddy school to maintain the integrity of the school system. The opening of school was not delayed due the diligence to the owner’s representative of this project and to maintain a schedule that allowed the children back into the school with minimal disruption. Also at the Eddy, a new playground was completed and is in use. There are many thanks to be sent out to all the volunteers, staff and town people whom if not for their support and dedicated effort, the children may not have had a playground to use this year. The Stonybrook School continued to replace the windows and as of the summer of 2015, we should be completing the third phase of window replacements. The schools are in great shape and this is due the town people caring enough to support our capital projects through the taxes that we pay as residents. Without this support, the schools would be in much tougher shape. Although the Brewster Elementary Schools are not as full as they were in the 1990’s, enrollment has hovered around 500 students from pre-school through fifth grade for the past eight years, and enrollment projections anticipate a similar number of students for the next ten years. Please explore the Nauset Regional Schools website at www.nausetschools.org for updated information about our schools. Respectfully submitted, Dave Telman, Chair Brenda Cazaeult, Vice-Chair Marie Enochty Clair Gradone Lori Gilmore R EPORT OF THE ENERGY COMMITTEE 2014 was an active year for the Brewster Energy Committee. The great excitement has the completion and commencement of operation of the solar array at the capped land fill. It is producing about one half of the electrical need of the Town's buildings. It was anticipated that the remainder of the Town’s municipal energy needs would be covered by another array at Commerce Park. However, there were a number of reasons that project could not be completed. To fulfill the balance of the Town’s municipal electricity demand with green-produced power, the Town of Brewster executed power purchase contracts with the Cape and Vineyard Electric Cooperative (CVEC )to purchase excess power generated by other CVEC green projects. Another project that was completed this year was the conversion of the HVAC at the DPW building (201 Run Hill Road) from oil to a higher efficiency natural gas system. Along with other modifications the new installation is a major improvement over what had been in place. Also within the realm of energy efficiency, Brewster participated in the Cape Light Compact (CLC) county-wide upgrade of streetlights. All of eth Towns 100+ public streetlights have been replaced with new, high-efficiency, LED fixtures and lamps, at a savings of approximately $7,000 per year. In addition, the color temperature of the lighting was adjusted from the contrasting orange light of the old sodium vapor lights to a more neutral light to mimic the color of incandescent lights or moonlight. The new fixtures are also shielded to prevent as much light as possible from glowing back into the sky. The following charts provide a comparison of Brewster’s Electric and Gas annual consumption from year to year for the past 5 years. Ongoing savings from earlier green production and energy conservation projects, including the solar arrays on the two elementary schools, continue. The Committee thanks the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator, Mr. Sumner, for their continued support.

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 in open public meetings held at the Town Hall conference room throughout the year. All Wednesday 6:00 P.M. meetings are televised over the local cable channel and are available via the town of Brewster government web site. In preparation for the Annual Town Meeting, the Committee holds regular weekly meetings to review the town’s operating budget as well as the Elementary and two Regional School budget proposals and all Warrant Articles. A similar review process occurs for the Annual Fall Town Meeting warrant. 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, attempt to identify its impact on the fiscal welfare of our Town and to recommend to the voting taxpayers our best guidance for their consideration at Town Meeting. Our meetings permit the elected and/or appointed Town officials to present in detail the justifications for their fiscal requests. These discussions often lead to a collaborative approach thus benefitting the real estate property taxpayers. Our Committee members also attend other Town Departments’, Committees’ and Boards’ meetings’, acting as liaisons, spending significant personal time reviewing and evaluating department fiscal demands. The Finance Committee controls an Annual Reserve Fund, currently $101,270.00. This Annual appropriation permits the Finance Committee to entertain unforeseen and unexpected needs that occur during the Fiscal Year. It provides an opportunity to continue the Town’s already authorized business without requiring a Special Town Meeting. These requests are thoroughly reviewed in open public meetings and require a recorded majority vote of the Finance Committee for authorization. Our membership attempts to analyze all town governmental operations on “a cost/benefit” review approach. The real estate taxpayer burden has increased as other sources of offset funding have decreased. The Finance Committee is committed to providing sound fiscal reviews in order for the voters to make informed decisions about their real estate property tax rate. One example would be to explore alternatives such as the impact of longer term borrowing of funds for special projects such as municipal buildings, taking into account their expected service life expectancy. Such approaches could spread the annual real estate property tax burden over a greater term and permit the Town to address its future needs in a timely manner. Our goal is to continue to minimize the necessity of having to face Proposition 2-1/2 override on an annual basis while ensuring that the Town is able to conduct its business. We are always searching for areas that can further reduce fiscal burdens and make tax dollars go further. In our annual review of the Captains Golf Course operating budget, we remain concerned that its operations require offsetting revenue shortfalls through their capital account. From its inception the golf operation was to provide a cost benefit source to the town. The golf commission and golf staff have worked very hard to maximize the operation. We see it as our responsibility to continue close oversight for taxpayers as additional shortfalls will have a dramatic impact on the annual tax rate. In May 2014, the Annual Town meeting and election approved a Proposition 2- 1/2 capital request for the Eddy Elementary School. The Finance Committee was a strong proponent for this request resulting in a new roof, HVAC system and other upgrades. The timing of this capital renewal project allowed the town to acquire bonds at a favorable interest rate thus lessening the tax impact. Under the leadership of the Building Needs and Assessment Committee, the project was completed on budget and on time prior to the start of this fall’s school term. We commend that Committee’s dedication and extra efforts as well as that of the Town Administrator, Board of Selectmen and Elementary School Committee in seeing this important project through to a successful fruition. In conjunction with the Town Administrator and his staff, we have continued to improve upon the electronic document system implemented in 2012. It continues to provide efficiencies, timely updates of detailed information and cost reductions for all committees involved in the fiscal review process. Over the past year, town administration has expanded access to information and technological applications. Additionally, our committee sees taxpayers having access to “real time” budget documents via the town’s web site a great benefit, providing taxpayers a detailed view of town finances. In closing, last Spring, our esteemed colleague, Nathan Pettengill passed away. His loss was greatly felt by our Committee. His respectful yet deliberate demeanor provided great insights and led to thorough and thoughtful evaluation of all areas in immense detail. Although Nate was receiving intense treatment he participated in this past annual town meeting as he felt it important for him to contribute. His diligent work and commitment to his position demonstrated his great love for his town of Brewster. Charles DeVito joined our Committee and has developed a strong grasp of town finances and issues faced in fiscally managing town government. We continue to appreciate your participation in our deliberations and always welcome your inquiries. Only by our working together do we all benefit as well informed active participants in our local government.

Several major goals were met including the development and implementation of job descriptions for all personnel, the execution of our biking ambassador program, the hiring of six new Call firefighters, 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. Between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014 the Brewster Fire & Rescue Department responded to a total of 2780 requests for assistance. Of this total 716 were fire related incidents and 2064 were EMS rescue responses.

This unit was leased with funds from the ambulance revenue account. 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. We continue to work through this transition which is scheduled to be completed by April of 2015.Our EMS officer continues to work with our medical director Cape & Islands EMS to ensure all personnel remain certified and in compliance with the new national certification protocols.

Respectfully submitted, Chief of Department Robert Moran REPORT OF THE GOLF COMMISSION & GOLF DEPARTMENT The Captains Golf Course had another successful golf season in 2014. Our overall revenues continued to be strong, pretty much equaling our 2013 performance. Of particular significance was the increase in the Annual Passholder revenue, which surpassed 2013 by about $38,000. In February 2014 our new superintendent, Pete Ervin, came on board after the retirement of long-time superintendent Steve Mann. By all accounts, Pete and his crew did a fabulous maintaining the course. The feedback from our customers was overwhelmingly positive and we continue to be considered among the finest public golf courses in New England. In addition to contributing over $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 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 FY2014. The biggest financial challenge that the Captains Golf Course faces is the large annual debt service for which it is responsible. In FY 2014 the annual debt service was $939,200. This is the principal and interest charge for the $10M bond to construct the additional 18 holes, the $800,000 bond for an irrigation upgrade and the $300,000 course improvement project undertaken several years ago and financed by the Town. The $800,000 irrigation bond and the course improvement loan 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.

R EPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT STUDIES COMMITTEE The Brewster Government Study Committee (BGSC) was created by the Board of Selectmen in March, 2014 with the following charge: Charge for Brewster Government Study Committee The Board of Selectmen (the “BOS”) wishes to ensure that Brewster’s government is transparent, responsive, efficient, and effective in its governance and in the delivery of town services by our various departments. The BOS seeks to improve our town government in order to provide the best service to its citizens, and therefore, will appoint a seven-member Brewster Government Study Committee (the “BGSC”) to study our town departments, boards, committees, and commissions according to the following charge. The BGSC is hereby charged with conducting an in-depth review of the town’s current organizational structure including the role of Town Administrator, the various town departments, boards, committees, and commissions. The study will examine the clarity of duties, span of responsibilities, methods of internal and external communication and coordination. The study will compare how these factors are dealt with in Town policies and in practice. The BGSC will deliver the results of its study to the BOS based upon the following definition of scope and timeline. 1. SCOPE The BGSC will conduct an in-depth review of the following: a. Organizational structure. Is the structure is too tiered or too flat from a management and leadership perspective? b. Definition of duties. How clearly are the duties of the Town Administrator and various departments defined? Are there gaps or overlaps with respect to duties and responsibilities? Is the span of responsibilities for individual departments too broad or too narrow? c. Management appointments. What person or entity is responsible for appointing departmental managers and does the process build the proper accountability? d. Communication and coordination. Are there adequate and effective channels of communication between the BOS and the Town Administrator; the Town Administrator and the departments; amongst the departments, and within each department? e. Staffing. Does the organizational structure provide for optimal staffing levels? Is there adequate succession planning? f. Performance management. How well are supervisory functions defined and executed? How is the performance of departments and department heads evaluated and communicated to the BOS and to the public? How effectively is the performance of department heads and staff managed by the appointing authority? The BGSC will examine our town’s boards, committees, and commissions (the “BCC”): a. What is the relationship between the BCC and the staff that supports the unit, and is the support sufficient and effective? b. Examine and understand the policy-making responsibilities of the BCC versus the regulatory responsibilities. c. Is the BCC appointed or elected, and does this make sense when considering the BCC’s duties and responsibilities? Does the BCC’s status naturally provide for appropriate accountability and transparency? d. With respect to appointed BCC: does the appointment process sufficiently and successfully recruit members, and is the process transparent and balanced? 2. PROCESS Phase 1: Assess current conditions and issues. The study will include a review of relevant Town bylaws and policies, interviews with the Town Administrator, department heads, BCC, Board of Selectmen and other key staff. In addition, the BGSC will gather the public‘s perspective through various mechanisms of its choosing such as surveys, focus groups and/or open forums. At the end phase one, the BGSC will identify the key issues, challenges, and opportunities for strengthening our town government and improving its effectiveness. The Committee will present a report of these findings to the BOS. Phase 2: Identify best practices and relevant experiences from other towns. Focusing on the issues, challenges, and opportunities identified in phase one the BGSC will work with a consultant who will charged with identifying best practices and experiences from other towns that might serve as models for Brewster. Phase 3: Develop recommendations. Based on the results of the interviews, public input, and consultant findings, the BGSC will develop recommendations for reorganization and reform of policies and procedures. The BGSC will develop its draft report in partnership with the consultant. Final recommendations will be presented to the BOS and to the public. Recommendation may be short-term, such as management improvements or policy changes, or long term, such as moving towards a Town Charter. 3. SCHEDULE (FIFTEEN MONTHS) Phase 1 will be completed within eight months of convening the BGSC. Phase 2 will be completed within three months of the completion of Phase 1. Phase 3 will be completed within four months of the completion of Phase 2. 4. SUPPORT The Town will provide secretarial support to take minutes, post meeting notices, distribute materials and schedule BGSC meetings with individuals and members of the BCC. The BGSC will establish its own meeting schedule and individual assignments. The Selectmen interviewed a number of candidates for the CBSC and in June appointed Don Arthur, Peggy Jablonski, Chris Kenney, Todd Montgomery, Colin Odell, Dave Whitney and Elbert Ulshoeffer to be the seven members of the committee. Peggy Jablonski subsequently resigned from the BGSC in September and the Selectmen selected Jerri Carlin as her replacement in November. The initial meeting of the BGSC was held on July 15, 2014. At this meeting the members of the committee selected Colin Odell to be Chairman and Todd Montgomery to be Vice-chairman. Since the initial meeting the BGSC has met twice monthly, typically on the second and fourth Thursdays. These meetings are recorded and broadcast on the Town’s public television channel and are also available on the Town website. During 2014 the primary work of the BGSC has been the information gathering called for in Phase One of the process outlined in the BCSC Charge. The committee has conducted interviews with the Town Administrator and Assistant Administrator, Town Department heads, and many of the Town’s boards, Commissions and Committees. This interview process will be continuing into the first quarter of 2015. In addition to the interviews the BGSC distributed a survey to Brewster residents with the fall tax bills. The survey document was also available on the Town website and as an online web survey. The BGSC received over 600 survey responses to the survey which are currently being analyzed. The members of the BGSC would like to thank Donna Moberg for the excellent assistance she provides as the BGSC administrative assistant.

The mission is to promote equal opportunities for all persons where discrimination exists. Promoting equality in housing, employment, education, public accommodations, banking, credit and health care is the focus of the BC HRC. The goals of the Human Rights Commission include providing education and outreach programs, investigating and mediating concerns and complaints, raising communities' awareness of human rights violations and helping to build more inclusive communities on Cape Cod. BC HRC works with similar commissions across the state to promote civil rights and diversity. Some Cape Cod residents report that discrimination remains a barrier to equal opportunity in our community. Discrimination can manifest in both obvious and subtle ways. It can take on the form of harassment such as derogatory comments about a person's identity or unfair treatment compared to people who are not members of a protected class. BC HRC seeks to connect residents of Cape Cod with quick and effective resolutions on any issues brought to the Commission. Updates on public events are reviewed and brought to our attention. The individual Town Representatives work regularly with the Commission, taking part in regular meetings and being involved with investigations arising from their community. Town Representatives are an asset for accomplishing the work of the Commission. Representatives distribute HRC publications (in 3 languages) in local places to make materials accessible for the public. Town representatives are part of Strategic Plan committees including Education, Outreach, Projects, Partnerships, and Fundraising. They also work with the Human Rights Academy for middle and high school students. For the past year, I have worked closely with the Commissioners on community efforts to promote the basic human rights of all persons in Barnstable County. This education and commitment continues with intentional networking and the support of trained mediation and outreach programs for our diverse population. For more information on concerns or questions please contact 508 375-6912.

During the period from January 1, 2014 – December 31, 2014 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 Barnstable County Department of Health and Environment and with other outside agencies. A computer simulation exercise of an Emergency Dispensing Site operation was conducted in the fall. Quarterly 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 reviewing existing regulations. We have enhanced information available on the Departments website.

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 2014. 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 REPORT OF THE BREWSTER HISTORICAL COMMISSION The Brewster Historical Commission (local representative of the Massachusetts Historical Commission) appraises historical preservation projects seeking Community Preservation Act grants. Members of the Brewster Historical Commission, appointed by the Brewster Board of Selectmen, currently include: Ellen St. Sure, Chair Geroge Boyd, Vice Chair Joan Carstanjen, BHC Representative on local Community Preservation Committee Jeffrey Hayes Patricia Busch REPORT OF THE OLD KING’S HIGHWAY HISTORIC DISTRICT In 2014 the Old King’s Highway Regional Historic District celebrated its 40th year. 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 Act is a uniquely formed regional preservation and architectural review law. The regional Historic District regulates the construction, alteration and/or demolition of all signs, buildings and structures protecting a distinctively historic and aesthetically important region 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 2014 the Committee received $4,295 in fees and processed a total of 230 applications as described below: Applications 2012 2013 2014 Certificate of Appropriateness 74 64 60 Certificate of Exemption 96 106 119 Certificate of Amendment 25 22 32 Certificate of Demolition 3 6 8 Sign Certificate of Appropriateness 21 12 11 Total 219 210 230 After serving on the Committee for seven years, Brian Warburton resigned in April 2014 to take a new position out of state. Brian’s contributions were extremely valuable and his building expertise will be missed. The Committee wishes to express its appreciation to the residents and merchants of the Town of Brewster for complying with the Historic District guidelines and thank the Building Department for their continued assistance. Respectfully submitted, John Halvorson, Chairman Patricia Busch Larry Houghton Brian Warburton (resigned April 2014) Don Arthur Jim Trabulsie (Alternate) Tom Turcketta (Alternate) R EPORT OF THE BREWSTER HOUSING AUTHORITY Fiscal Year 2014 was a very busy year for the BHA, filled with challenges, accomplishments, and changes. In addition to a slight increase in funding from the state, we adopted our five-year Capital Improvement Plan for formula funding from the Department of Housing and Community Development, and received a grant to address some needs on the grounds at Huckleberry Lane. Capital Improvements in 2014 totaled more than $113,500.00 and consisted of new kitchen cabinets, countertops, and flooring for several units at Huckleberry Lane, as well as a couple units at Frederick Court, many new appliances at both sites (most of which were free to the housing authority, thanks to a grant we received), new carpeting and furniture in the Community Room at Frederick Court, and a new heating system in all Frederick Court apartments. In addition to Capital Improvements, we have focused on improving the appearance of our properties. New signs have been installed at Frederick Court and the office, as well as some new plantings, with more planned for the spring/summer of 2015. Building washing, tree-trimming, and gutter cleaning were all done this past fall. John McElroy retired this fall, and we are pleased to welcome Ryan Doyle as our new Maintenance Laborer. Following a very successful year under the management of Mashpee Housing Authority, led by Executive Director Leila Botsford, the Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to indefinitely extend the management contract. In addition to Ms. Botsford, the MHA offers many talented staff people to help oversee the management of the BHA, including a Director of Maintenance, a Resident Services Coordinator, and Maintenance Assistants. A new telephone system has also been installed so that when the BHA office is closed, the phone will be answered in the MHA office so that callers can get immediate assistance. The Governor’s proposed plan to eliminate local housing authorities was rejected; however Chapter 235 was enacted by the legislature this summer. This new law is considered to be a benefit to everyone, providing local housing authorities with more assistance in areas where assistance is needed, while maintaining local control in cities and towns. The legislation requires regulations to be enacted and guidelines to be established by DHCD with the aid of housing stakeholders. Governor Patrick ordered his Public Housing Advisory Committee to work with DHCD to do this important work and we are lucky to have Leila Botsford working on this Committee and its working groups. The BHA has received a grant from Mass Housing Partnership for assistance with the Brewster Woods project. In early 2015 we will be finalizing the Request for Proposals to advertise for a developer and later in the year select one to move forward with the project. We hope to work closely with the community to develop attractive, affordable, rental homes of which Brewster residents can be proud. The coming year will undoubtedly provide the BHA with new and even greater challenges but also with new opportunities to serve the residents of Brewster. Once again, great appreciation is extended to all the members of the Brewster Housing Authority Board of Commissioners for their service to the Authority during the past year and to the members of the community who support our mission to provide decent, safe, and affordable housing to the residents of Brewster. Respectfully submitted, Robert Hooper, Chairman Brewster Housing Authority Board of Commissioners REPORT OF THE BREWSTER HOUSING PARTNERSHIP The Partnership welcomed new members Diane Pansire and Peyton Johnson this year, allowing us a quorum sufficient to call meetings, after a fairly long hiatus. We reorganized and Diane is now the Chair. Members agreed to rotate the secretarial duties, as necessary (for which I am grateful). We met six times in 2014. We provided input and recommendation to the Selectmen and the Zoning Board of Appeals on Cape View’s Local Initiative Program (LIP) Chapter 40 B proposal for the development of twenty-eight (28) ownership units of 1-, 2- and 3- bedroom housing at the Route 6A (northern) end of Underpass Road. The project was endorsed by the Selectmen and approved by the ZBA. Seven of the units will be deed-restricted for affordability. The Partnership also reviewed and commented on applications to the Community Preservation Committee for CPA funding. The first was from the Yankee Drive Townhouse Condominium Association for about $32,000 towards maintenance work on the Yankee Drive Townhouse Condominium building and grounds. The Partnership did not support this application, primarily because only ½ the units in that structure are deed-restricted for affordability and the proposal did not include creation of any new units via additional deed- restrictions or new construction. The CPC denied the application, finding that the private Association had not exhausted conventional financing options. The second was the application from Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod for $600,000 towards the purchase of about 17 acres of land on Tubman Road for the development of affordable single family homes. This application was approved by the CPC and Town Meeting and the acquisition was successful. This project will produce a total of fourteen (14) affordable homes and is expected to break ground in 18 months We continue to work with Town Counsel to clear title and access for the six (6) lots that were allocated by Town meeting in 2006 for development for affordable housing. Our goals have continued to be: 1.) to ensure that projects and programs which have been initiated are not defeated or abandoned; 2.) to advocate for simple, appropriate-scale development, utilizing local talent and labor; and 3.) to investigate new programs and development potentials which will increase Brewster’s inventory of housing which is affordable to households earning no more than 80% of median income. Consistent with our State authorized mission, we encourage our fellow citizens to take an interest in maintaining and improving Brewster’s affordable housing stock. We give special thanks to all of you who have supported our endeavors. We hope that our incremental victories will continue to encourage you as the challenges to creating affordable housing continue to mount.– “Peace”. Respectfully submitted, Jillian Douglass, Prior Chair & Secretary Diane Pansire, Current Chair Ralph Marotti Peyton Johnson REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS To the Board of Health and the Citizens of Brewster: As the appointed Animal Inspector of Barns it is my responsibility to conduct the Annual Animal Census for the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources. I had the pleasure of visiting the 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 13 • Cattle 9 • Chicken 911 • Donkey 9 • Goat 35 • Game Bird 78 • Horse 228 • Pigeon 26 • Pony 7 • Rabbit 19 • Sheep 23 • Swine 17 • Turkey 132 • Waterfowl 83 Thanks to the efforts of the USDA and the Cape Cod Rabies Task Force the 2014 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 R E PORT OF THE LADIES’ LIBRARY Once again, the Brewster Ladies’ Library took on the model of a “community center,” with myriad programs sponsored by the Library, conference rooms booked near capacity by non-profit community groups, mentoring and tutoring sessions, Lego Club, Toddler Town, Story Time, Friday Foreign Films, Sunday concert series, Summer Reading Program, book discussion groups, Teen Lit Book Club, and a very successful Book Sale – among many, many others. There were 337 Library-sponsored programs, attended by 8417 people, and 183,805 items (including Ebooks) circulated by the Library. During the month of July alone, 12,834 patrons came through the door – with more than 950 in a single day – both a record. With the support of the Town, the Library was open on Sundays from November 2013 through March 2014 and is continuing this successful endeavor this year as well. The highlight once again was the Nickerson Lecture Series sponsored by the Brewster Ladies’ Library, when journalist and author Laura Ling addressed a capacity audience on October 18 (in Brewster Baptist Church). Laura Ling currently is the host and reporter for a documentary series on the E! Network and also is the co-author, with her sister Lisa Ling, of Somewhere Inside: One Sister’s Captivity in North Korea and the Other’s Fight to Bring Her Home, which details her 140-day captivity in North Korea in 2009. The Nickerson Lecture Series also featured an essay contest open to Brewster students who wrote on topics related to the Korean peninsula; this year’s winners were Victoria Whitney and Jessica Williams, who were guests of honor at the reception prior to Laura Ling’s lecture. The week-long events also featured a PBS documentary; lectures by Ambassador Stephen Warren Bosworth, diplomatic corps member and former U.S. ambassador to South Korea, and Professor Sung-Yoon Lee of Tufts University, who spoke on “Five Myths about North Korea;” and a discussion on Somewhere Inside by Brewster author Sally Gunning, state representative Sarah Peake, and NPR’s Mindy Todd – all held at the Library. The Board’s Feasibility Study and Strategic Planning committee received $25,000 from the Town and another $20,000 from an Eddy grant to create a design plan and building program for the renovation for the Library. While the footprint of the Library will not change, the Library needs to utilize all the space available in order to offer more services, programs, and learning opportunities to the community. The committee will be seeking input from the community in the coming year (2015). Once again, our volunteers proved their value to the Library, contributing 5672 hours of their time in 2014, the equivalent of more than three full-time staff members. They are vital to the sustainability of Library offerings, and we are deeply grateful for their commitment. As 2014 was ending, 1000 copies of the Caro Dugan Diary were received from the printer. A wonderful glimpse into Brewster history, the book is now available for purchase at the Library and will be celebrated at a publishing party early in the new year. Circulation Manager Chris Lord retired from the Library staff, after 27 years of service; Nina Gregson was promoted to replace her. We also bid farewell to Janice Riley and Anne Stewart, and welcomed new staff members Chris Kaufmann, Rydell Welch, and Angela Howes. We also want to take this opportunity to recognize Kathy Cockcroft, Library Director, a valued colleague to all of us who get the opportunity to work with her. We are grateful for the ongoing support of the Town of Brewster, which provides 75% of the Library’s operating budget. The remaining 25% comes from the members of the Brewster Ladies’ Library Association and the Book Sale proceeds. Respectfully submitted, Barbara W. Wellnitz, President, Board of Directors Brewster Ladies’ Library Board of Directors Barbara W. Wellnitz, President Joan Cassidy, Vice President Larry Houghton, Treasurer Mike Gradone, Secretary Ann Leighton, Corresponding Secretary Ed Ducharme Lisa Gerrish Ross Gorman Sarah Hewitt Glenn Lowery Cynthia Mathison Robert Mauterstock R E PORT OF THE MILLSITES COMMITTEE This year has been a busy one for the Millsites Committee. In early 2014, a hardworking cadre of volunteers replaced the stone wall bordering the mill pond. This work allowed the footpaths to be widened and made more accessible for all visitors. Americorps workers also provided support in clearing brush and planting grass and we are grateful for the work they did. This spring, we welcomed back the Boxborough fifth graders and the Brewster third graders for their annual field trips. And a new group – the Brewster fourth graders – came to the Mill to learn about “Simple Machines”, thanks to a Cape Cod Five mini-grant awarded to teachers Joann Borsari and Peggy Erickson. The teachers used the millworks and herring run to demonstrate key lesson concepts. In every case, the school children are engaging, well behaved, and fascinated. They are always a pleasure to host. The Grist Mill, including the Museum upstairs, was open every Saturday in July and August. This year, we began grinding organic corn in response to many requests from visitors. We ground and sold approximately 2,400 pounds of corn meal. We want to express our appreciation to artist Karen North Wells who donated her time and talent to design the new artwork for our cornmeal bags. This year the Grist Mill location was included in Brewster Conservation Day activities and the consensus is that it was a successful partnership. We are already discussing ways to make our role in BCD 2015 bigger and better. The Museum is a town treasure – featuring a myriad of artifacts of 19th Century Cape Cod life, information about Brewster’s saltworks and Factory Village photos. There is a barn loom where a child can sit with the weaver and learn how to make a rag rug. Our goal is to make the Grist Mill and Museum a “family friendly” destination. We encourage you to stop in during Brewster in Bloom weekend or on a summer Saturday to experience this special place. The heart and soul of the activities at the Grist Mill are our volunteers. The Committee relies on them to cover the entire summer schedule, as well as for spring work projects, hosting field trips, and managing summer festivals. We would not be able to open the Mill to field trips or summer visitors without the generosity of people who donate their time. We are so fortunate for their help and so appreciative of their contributions. If you are interested in volunteering at the Mill, please contact Town Hall or a Millsites Committee member. Doug Erikson, Chairman Members: Dana A. Condit Faythe Ellis Roger V. O’Day Sandra Godwin Stan Godwin Emily Sumner REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES 2014 was a BIG year for the Natural Resource Department. With new partnerships, improved public access, expanded community events, enhanced shellfish populations, and the preservation of critical natural resources, the staff and numerous volunteers accomplished many of the goals for 2014. The Brewster DNR and the Brewster Conservation Trust continued to join forces on land management projects, public access, environmental education and public outreach We also participate and collaborate with various boards and committees, including the Pleasant Bay Alliance, Brewster Coastal Committee, Brewster Conservation Commission, Comprehensive Water Quality Planning, and Water Quality Review Committee, among others. Looking back, here are the highlights for 2014. Water Quality Monitoring We continue to monitor 29 ponds in Town, utilizing the Pond and Lake Stewards (PALS) volunteers for a majority of the testing. This year Bill Wood continued coordination responsibilities for the Spring, while Dave & Diane Carlson took the reins in the Fall. PALS volunteers gathered invaluable data used to monitor trends in dissolved oxygen, temperature, clarity & algal growth for specific ponds. We would like to recognize Jane & Carroll Johnson for their continued service to the program by delivering the samples 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) came to a close as they completed their study of the Mill Ponds complex (Walkers, Upper Mill, Lower Mill Ponds). For the complete study please visit: http://sites.google.com/site/brewsterponds/project.updates/ Establishing new partnerships with the Brewster Ponds Coalition http://www.BrewsterPonds.org enabled us to strengthen our ability to preserve and protect Brewster’s water resources through education and outreach and begin to focus on next step options for preserving water quality. With the continued guidance from Dave Bennett, of Bennett Environmental Associates and support from Lynn Mulkeen Perry of Barnstable County Health & Environment, we continued the revised groundwater monitoring protocol for Captain’s Golf Course. Volunteers The Brewster FLATS (Friends of Lands, Aquatics, Trails & Shellfish) continued to support the Department’s expanding responsibilities in the areas of water quality monitoring, shellfish enhancement, public access, resource preservation & trail maintenance. The grass roots, community based group has expanded its membership from 150 in 2013 to 198 in 2014. The number of volunteer hours also increased this year, totaling 2,419. “SURROUNDINGS”, the groups’ quarterly newsletter, continues to educate, recruit, and inform community members about events, recognize volunteers, and streamline ways to get involved. Past and future issues can be viewed on brewsterflats.org. 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@brewster-ma.gov. Many thanks go out to our FLATS members for all the time and hard work they give to this Department and our community. Summer Interns The DNR’s summer volunteer program received numerous applications and awarded 5 positions to Sophie Bergquist, Jessica Whalen, Luke Steinmetz, Camden Moore and Aidan Biondi. The Nauset Regional High school students compiled 163 community service hours while gaining valuable life skills. AmeriCorps 2014 has been “The Year of AmeriCorps” in Brewster. The organization contributed 3,765 volunteer hours to our community service in projects that ranged from improved access to town amenities, shellfish propagation, environmental education, community events (Beautify Brewster, Brewster Conservation Day, Coast Sweep), habitat restoration, fire safety and waste reduction. Some of the major AmeriCorps projects include: 2014 All Access ~ AmeriCorps Week. With guidance from the All Access Committee and support from the DPW, the DNR worked closely with AmeriCorps to improve 12 sites in 8 days for people with mobility challenges. Projects included: • Installed 6 resting/observation benches – 2 at Spruce Hill, 2 at Calf Field Pond trail, 2 at Paines Creek Landing. • Built /installed access ramp at the Council on Aging. • Built /installed 6 raised beds at the community garden on Lower Road. • Assisted with the Grist Mill access walk way. • Built /installed 6 raised garden beds at the Brewster Housing Authority. • Built /installed viewing platform at Linnell Landing. • Built /installed viewing platform at Long Pond. • Built/installed seasonal viewing platform at Mants Landing. • Built/installed viewing platform at Quivett Marsh Vista. • Anti-slip paint at Stony Brook School and the Ladies Library. 2014 Beautify Brewster. The 3rd annual Town wide clean-up was a huge success, with AmeriCorps members and over 130 community volunteers, 12 Town Departments working together and nearly 2,200 lbs. of debris removed from our streets. AmeriCorps Cape Cod 15th Anniversary. Brewster was a recipient of a tree planted at Town Hall. Each of the 15 Towns that AmeriCorps services was given a tree as part of the “Together We Grow” campaign. In addition, Ryan Burch was presented with a certificate of appreciation to honor the history, support and collaborative work that Brewster has given to AmeriCorps. 2014 Brewster Conservation Day. Saturday, July 12th at Drummerboy Park. This joint effort between the Town and Brewster Conservation Trust attracted over 700 visitors to enjoy a day filled with educational and interactive exhibits that focus on protecting our natural resources. 2014 Coast Sweep. The 3rd annual beach sweep brought together 65 volunteers to help remove 600 lbs. of trash from our over 5 miles of shoreline. Public Outreach Reduce, Reuse, Recycle We 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. Expanding on that theme, AmeriCorps member Enam Mensah established the “Trash to Treasures” program, which takes shells from local restaurants and returns them to Cape Cod Bay as future shellfish habitat. Fire Safety AmeriCorps also spread the message of fire safety through a puppet show at the May open house of the Brewster Fire Department. Learn to Shellfish Program Keeping on pace from years past, the DNR continued to support the efforts of other Town Departments. For the 6th year in a row we collaborated with the Brewster Recreation Dept. to offer a Learn To Shellfish program, which provides children the opportunity to discover Brewster’s FLATS and what lives within them. Land Management Land management efforts continued in 2014, as we maintained our aggressive approach at invasive species removal at various properties throughout Town. With the continued support of AmeriCorps, a healthy relationship with the Department of Public Works and support from FLATS volunteers, we worked vigorously at maintaining a diversified habitat, able to support a wide range of wildlife species and to promote native vegetation. Focus areas included: Baker’s Pond, Kingsbury / Mathews property, Mother’s Bog, Hawks Nest Farm, Wings Island, Punkhorn Park Lands, and Quivett Marsh Vista. We utilized the skills and knowledge of AmeriCorps’ Fire Corps to continue efforts (6th consecutive year) of field habitat restoration on Wings Island. Under DNR supervision, the Corps cut and piled woody material in preparation for a prescribed burn. In addition, AmeriCorps members Val Falconieri and Enam Mensah worked closely with staff to develop new interpretive signs for 7 of the Town’s walking trails. Hal Minis added technical support to build and install 2 new kiosks at the Hay Trail and Spruce Hill. AmeriCorps volunteer Teikyo Mowchan joined the Department for his 2014/2015 service term. Teikyo will be at the DNR Wednesdays and Thursdays from October thru July working on shellfish propagation, water quality, environmental education, and community outreach. Wildfire Prevention For the 7th 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 along with DPW was instrumental at trimming intersections and roadside vegetation in accordance with the Wildfire Management Plan. Coastal Issues and Grants Stormwater The Department continues to work with the Comprehensive Water Quality Review Committee, the Department of Public Works and others on stormwater improvements across town. This year, we began developing the engineering design for stormwater and erosion control at Ellis Landing, which we hope to implement in 2015. Paines Creek Together with the Department of Public Works and staff from the Town Administrators office, we developed a parking plan for Paines Creek, including paving the entrance circle. The plan was to include additional parking, with several spots strategically placed to allow a scenic view of the creek and the sunset. We anticipate that this new design will be more resilient and easier to maintain. Coastal Resilience Planning The Department received a grant for $200,000 from the Massachusetts Division of Coastal Zone Management to evaluate the changing shoreline, including resilient designs for three landings, sand movement on the flats, erosion rates, and nourishment permits at each of our coastal landings. This project will finish in spring 2015. Coastal Resilience Retreat at Breakwater Beach The Department received a $165,000 grant from the Massachusetts Division of Coastal Zone Management to retrofit Breakwater Beach. The final permitting and implementation will take place in spring 2015. We work together with the newly formed Coastal Committee to evaluate the state of our coastline, the public infrastructure, and natural resources, and develop longer term guidance for the town. Harbormaster Kayak and Canoe Racks We continued to manage over 75 kayak & canoe racks at Paines Creek, Mant’s Landing & Upper Mill Pond. The goal of this hugely popular service is to promote access to our waterways and increase recreational boating for our residents & visitors. Selection is done by lottery with applications due before March 1st. There is a $25 annual or bi-weekly fee due with the application. For more information please visit the Town’s website under Natural Resource – Shellfish & Mooring regulations. Boat Moorings The Brewster flats and fresh water ponds continued to be a popular boat mooring destination. With over 300 moorings in Brewster, strong efforts are being made to maintain a safe environment for recreational boaters and protect personal property. Along with patrolling for current mooring stickers, we continued efforts at removing dangerous and unclaimed mooring tackle from the flats. Strandings 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 through out 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. Unfortunately Cape Cod Bay experienced a record high number of turtle strandings, but with a strong network of volunteers many of the turtles were able to be rescued. Shellfish 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 sales of 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. Local Support We wish to thank Brewster for its continuing dedication to open space preservation and protection of its natural resources. Gifts and Donations 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, John Sullivan, Assistant Shellfish Warden, and Sam McGee, Assistant Shellfish Warden. Respectfully submitted, Chris Miller, Natural Resources Director Ryan Burch, Natural Resources Assistant James Gallagher, Conservation Administrator REPORT OF THE NAUSET REGIONAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE Schools are successful when students, staffs, and communities thoughtfully and purposefully work together to achieve a common goal, an excellent education for all students. Our schools and our staffs are second to none! Nauset continues to rank as one of the best districts in Massachusetts and attracts students from across the Cape and beyond because of our excellent reputation and numerous successes. Our teachers work tirelessly to ensure that students reach their full potential academically and interconnect with the community whenever possible to develop thoughtful, caring and mindful individuals. At Nauset, Every Child Matters. Last year Nauset began a big initiative to upgrade Technology throughout the district. The roll out of iPads to all teachers at the High School and Middle School, as well as all ninth grade students, has been very successful. It is an invaluable tool that is enhancing our teaching methods and changing the way our students learn. Teachers are eager to grow with the integration of technology in their classrooms. The School Committee is working on a plan to get more devices to students in other grade levels in the very near future. Time and again our communities come together to support our schools. This was very much evident in the completion of a state of the art turf football field at Nauset High School and the Greenhouse Learning Laboratory at the Middle School. Both of these wonderful assets were fully funded through community donations and I thank everyone for their generous contributions to our schools! The Capital Asset Subcommittee, together with the Business Office, has done an outstanding job in completing many capital projects that have been long overdue. There are several critical projects that have been identified by the Capital Asset Subcommittee and the School Committee voted to ask the towns to support these projects that include: Drainage at the Middle School, Lab Stations, Courtyard Concrete Rails, Ramps and Outdoor lighting at the high school. We hope our towns support our efforts in keeping our buildings safe and secure for our staff and students. Programming for our students is a priority and our principals continue to challenge our students by offering a myriad of subjects ranging from Adventure Ed to Summer Science Technology Institute. A Saturday Academic Academy for re-teaching is being piloted at the High School, the International Baccalaureate Program is being studied, Mandarin language is being offered at the Middle School and High School, Advanced Placement courses are well attended in both schools and the list goes on and on. The Administration and the Police Chiefs continue to work on security plans across the district and we thank them for all their efforts in keeping our students safe. A new School Resource Officer was successfully integrated into the Middle School community. The resource officers at the Middle and High Schools have proven to be a wonderful presence in our schools to assist with prevention of bullying, building security, and safety issues. Dr. Richard Hoffmann will retire after six years as Superintendent of Nauset and nearly 40 years in education. He has helped maintain the progress of our schools, advocated for our students, promoted new initiatives, and has helped move the district into 21st century thinking and learning in a global community. We thank him for all his efforts on behalf of our children. John O’Reilly, Chair of the Nauset Regional School Committee Brewster Representatives: Edward Lewis, Jayne Fowler, Sue Skidmore REPORT OF THE OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE The Open Space Committee, established in 1998 to carry out the purposes of and receive funding through the Cape Cod Open Space Acquisition Program (The Cape Cod Land Bank), now receives funding through the Community Preservation Committee (CPC). 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 more than 40% developed; with 15% “undevelopable” wetlands; 32.74% protected lands; and less than 12.00% of its land left to be developed or preserved. Since 1999 the Town has purchased $15.1 million in open space. The assessed value of these purchases is approximately 4/10 of one percent of the $3.3 billion of the Town’s assessed property value. With the approval of the Community Preservation Act (CPA) in 2005, Town Meeting has approved $9,843,680 for 178.57 acres of land. The Town received $4,129,000 in grants and other monies, with a net cost of $5,054,680. The net cost per acre was $28,306. Open Space Acquisitions, Town of Brewster Time Span 1983-1998 Open Space Committee 1999-2004 Cape Cod Land Bank 2005-2014 CPA Acres Added 1,372.35 102.12 178.57 Purchase Cost $14,582,328 $5,278,000 $9,843,680 Avg. $/Acre $10,625 $51,684 $55,125 Grants $0 $769,264 $4,129,000 Final Town Cost $14,582,328 $4,508,736 $5,054,680 Net $/Acre $10,625 $44,151 $28,306 The Naumkeag Acres, the Copelas property on Freemans Way, 26.65 acres, closed in 2014. Windrift Acres, the Copelas property on Slough Road, 55.2 acres has yet to close. The Town received approval for a State grant of $400,000 towards purchase of this property. One land purchase was approved at the May 2014 Town Meeting: Viprino Property: $114,000 - this acquisition preserving 3.29 acres of contiguous forest land, critical habitat and wetland buffer zone is within the Punkhorn Parklands. Located in a the Zone II to public water supply wellfields for Harwich and Brewster, this parcel is very near the Town’s newest well #6. One land acquisition was approved at November 2014 Town Meeting: Eldredge Property: $500,000 - the Town voted to acquire and conserve 3.08 acres abutting the 17-acre Drummer Boy Town Park. This waterfront building lot, strategically located between historic Main Street and Quivett Marsh, had been a high priority acquisition for the Town for many years. The purchase price of $500,000 reflects a seller’s discount, owing to a state tax credit for preserving critical habitat and marsh-front protection land. The Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT) pledged $100,000 towards the purchase price, lowering the Town’s net cost. In addition, the Town received a State LAND grant of $260,000 towards the purchase, reducing the final purchase cost to $140,000. The land is now under the custody of the Town Conservation Commission and further protected by a conservation restriction held by the BCT. This purchase will enable the Town to extend a walking trail from the Drummer Boy out to an overlook of the marshes, with a view to Cape Cod Bay. 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. The Committee has identified a number of parcels based on specific criteria. The Viprino acquisition was a result of this outreach. 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: other parcels are better suited for Community Housing, Historic Preservation and/or Recreation. This Committee works closely with the BCT 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. This year one member resigned, Danni Jesudowich, Citizen-at-Large. We wish to thank her for the time and energy she devoted to the Committee and especially for the many hours she spent reviewing/editing the 2013 Open Space & Recreation Plan Update. A hearty welcome to Andy Perkins and Peter Herrmann, as new Citizens-at-Large. Peter Norton continues as Board of Selectmen Liaison. 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-Chair Jeanne Boehm/Citizen-at-Large Peter Herrmann/Citizen-at-Large Keith Johnson/Citizen-at-Large Don Keeran/Citizen–at-Large William Klein/Conservation Tom Kowalski/Citizen-at-Large Andy Perkins/Citizen-at-Large Peter Norton/Selectman’s Representative R E PORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board is made up of seven elected members who serve staggered five year terms. The Board meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 6:30 pm in 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 viewing on the Town Web site or Local Cable Channel 18. The Zoning By-law (Chapter 179 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 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 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 Planning Board member Elizabeth Taylor has served consecutive terms since 1999. John Leaning and Scott Collum joined the Planning Board in 2010. Rick Judd and William Hoag joined the Board in 2012. Jason Klump joined the Planning Board in 2013. Nicholas deRuyter was elected to the board in 2014.

Elizabeth Taylor Cape Cod Commission Delegate, Open Space Committee, Community Preservation Committee, Comprehensive Water Planning Committee, Water Quality Review Committee Alternate 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@brewster-ma.gov 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. Richard Judd, Chairman Jason Klump, Vice-Chairman Nicholas deRuyter, Clerk Scott Collum William Hoag John Leaning Elizabeth G. Taylor R EPORT OF THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department continues our work with the Planning Board, Board of Appeals, and Comprehensive Water Planning Committee. The Department also provides assistance and information to the general public, and anyone else who asks. 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, the Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel and several other groups. Local Comprehensive Plan The Town of Brewster originally had a Master Plan completed in 1970. A Local Comprehensive Plan Committee began a rewrite of the plan in 1997 and continued to work on it until 2008 although a new plan was never approved by the Town or the Cape Cod Commission. In 2014, we started moving towards creating an up-to-date Local Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Brewster. A presentation was made to the Planning Board and in 2015 we are looking at starting to collect data, have public meetings to discuss a vision for the Town, and develop a scope of work for the creation and review of the plan. We encourage anyone interested in being a part of this process to contact the Planning Department. Zoning and General By-Law Amendments In 2014, the Planning Department worked on a number of zoning by-law amendments which were heard at the Annual Town Meeting in May 2014 and the Special Town Meeting in November 2014. 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 passed at the May 2014 Town Meeting. ¾ An article to address the location of medical marijuana dispensaries. This article passed at the May 2014 Town Meeting. Dispensaries are now permitted by special permit in Village Business, Commercial High Density, and Industrial zones and are subject to regulations as set forth by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. ¾ Revisions to the Town’s floodplain regulations to account for changes to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). ¾ Changes to the definition of a museum, and an expansion to the zoning districts where museums are permitted. These articles passed at the May 2014 Town Meeting. ¾ A proposal to rezone the north side of Route 6A at the Orleans line from Village Business to Commercial High Density did not pass at the November 2014 Town Meeting. Proposed by-laws for future Town Meetings are also being worked on including a stormwater by-law. 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). The Committee, which is supported by the Planning Department, continued to work with our consultant (Horsley Witten Group). The third phase of work had some additional tasks added and will be completed in early 2015. Once this phase is complete, the Town can begin working on ways to remediate nitrogen in the Pleasant Bay watershed, as well as looking at projects to address phosphorus impacts in ponds. The Planning Department provided a great deal of assistance with public outreach, including the coordination and publicity for several community meetings/workshops and the creation and maintenance of the Brewster Ponds Facebook page. 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 2014, 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) – There were no DRI’s before the Planning Board in 2014. 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. Permitting software has been in use by the department for several years and is allowing us to better manage data, track permits and provide timely and accurate information to the public. We have completed the creation of an electronic database of all of our paper files, which has been an ongoing project for several years. We are hoping to have a method available soon to scan large plans and other large-scale documents. The Planning Department is committed to providing information to the general public, as well as other local, regional, state or federal agencies. We encourage anyone who is interested in planning and anyone who has questions about planning to stop by the office or call and make an appointment. The planning process is much more interesting and effective when residents and property owners are informed and involved. Thanks to all the people who supported the work of the Planning Department this year, including everyone who works for the Town, and the many committee members, residents and visitors who provided guidance and support, or just stopped by to see what we’re all about. Thanks also to Kelly Moore and Marilyn Mooers for their 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 R EPORT OF THE PLEASANT BAY ALLIANCE The Pleasant Bay Alliance is an organization of the Towns of Chatham, Orleans, Harwich, and Brewster 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 2014 are listed below, and more information is available at www.pleasantbay.org. The 2013 Pleasant Bay Resource Management Plan Update, approved by Town Meeting in 2013, received approval from the Massachusetts Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs. The Secretary also promulgated changes to multiple state regulations recommended by the management plan to make it possible to permit improvement dredging in an area of the ACEC that has been affected by shoaling following the formation of the 2007 inlet. The regulatory changes are intended to preserve historic navigation access between Pleasant Bay, Chatham Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. The Pleasant Bay Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Program completed its 15th monitoring season in 2014. Trained volunteers collected samples at 24 sites throughout the Bay, and a ≥90% sample recovery rate was again achieved. Data from the monitoring program are used by all four towns to guide nutrient management planning. An updated statistical analysis of data collected by the program is planned for 2015. The Alliance supported local and regional efforts to address nutrient loading in Pleasant Bay. The watershed work group was regularly briefed on the progress of Brewster’s water resources plan, and hosted a discussion on possible use of shellfish aquaculture for nutrient removal. The Alliance Committee members and its Coordinator participated in work groups established by the Cape Cod Commission for a regional wastewater management plan, the so-called 208 Plan Update, and the Alliance provided detailed comments on the Commission’s draft plan. The Alliance provided technical support to the Friends of Pleasant Bay in designing and launching a series of fisheries studies with the Center for Coastal Studies. The studies will map benthic habitat, assess fisheries, and examine seal population and feeding numbers in Pleasant Bay. The Alliance continued development of guidelines that are intended to assist Conservation Commissions in the review of applications for shoreline erosion control measures. The Alliance also continued tide level monitoring in concert with the Center for Coastal Studies. At the request of local officials, the Alliance also provided comment on a range of public and private projects, concerning consistency with the Resource Management Plan. The Alliance wishes to thank the citizens of Brewster for your ongoing support. Respectfully submitted by: Chris Miller, Natural Resources Director, Steering Committee Susan Leven, Town Planner, Steering Committee Carole Ridley, Alliance Coordinator REPORT OF THE BREWSTER POLICE DEPARTMENT In 2014, the men and women of the Brewster Police Department have continued to work toward fulfilling our mission of preventing crime, preserving order and protecting the rights, lives and property of all people. We do this through working in partnership with our community to identify and effectively respond to the diverse, ever-changing social and neighborhood problems and needs; all the while, keeping an emphasis on integrity, fairness, and professionalism. As we move forward into 2015, we continue to focus on the issues surrounding us. One of the more troubling problems we face today is that of opiate addiction. We continue to search for a pragmatic, approach that attacks the problem from a variety of angles. The Brewster Police Department will maintain its role as a regional partner in narcotics identification and enforcement. In a year where policing has seen some of its harshest criticism in decades, we look inward to assure that we are living up to the standards we have set for ourselves and to the standards the community rightfully holds us to. We appreciate the support we have continued to receive from the citizens of Brewster, the Town Administration, the Board of Selectmen, the Finance Committee, and the other Town Departments.

In 2014, the Transfer Station was renamed the Brewster Recycle Center to better reflect the transition to a Pay as You Throw method of handling residential waste. The Brewster Recycling Commission and Selectmen worked with DPW staff to ensure the transition went smoothly. Initial data shows a significant decrease in the amount of solid waste being sent off site for disposal, with a commensurate (but smaller) increase in the amount of material recycled. This is important for the Town as the tipping fees for solid waste have increased significantly. Solar Garden at Landfill: There was a lot of activity at the Landfill in the spring as the completion of a large solar array at the capped landfill was completed. The solar array came online in July and is producing about 60% of the electrical need of the Town's buildings. Roadway Maintenance: Road and drainage system design, construction, repair and maintenance are coordinated through the Department. Snow and Ice Removal The Department is responsible for snow and ice removal, including street sweeping, and catchbasin cleaning of public roads. The Department also does annual cracksealing to limit potential damage to roads as they age. Although the Department does not maintain private roads, we do provide snow and ice removal. In 2014 we had 8 major storms, four of which required two full days to complete, in addition to the typical pretreat and sand/salt events. Smaller storms are handled entirely within the Department, but the larger storms include assistance in manpower and equipment from other town departments and by private contractors. Chapter 90 Roadway Work: Chapter 90 is state bond funding used for upkeep of highways and bridges. Many of our Chapter 90 funded projects take over one fiscal year between design, construction and final close out. In addition to Chapter 90 funding, our budget includes warrant articles for roadway repair and drainage improvements, as well as for road sign replacement. In 2014 we worked on projects on Millstone Road, Robinwood, Point of Rocks Road, Underpass Road, Foster Road, Cathedral Road, Wynn Road, King Philip Road, Alden Road and Daisy Lane. These projects range from simple repairs to full roadway reconstruction and drainage improvements. We also completed the restoration of the Rt. 124 (Harwich Road) parking area at the bike path, including fencing and trees/landscaping and a “Welcome to Brewster” sign. Pavement Management System: Also in 2014, we worked extensively with the Town Adminstrator’s office and a consultant to complete a review of all town roads, including current condition, identified needs, and a ranking system to evaluate the most cost effective way to maintain the hundreds of miles of roadway in town. We anticipate these efforts will result in significant cost savings over time. However, deferred maintenance has led to a need for a significant investment in repair and maintenance to maintain and improve the existing roadway quality. Although initially costly, these improvements to maintain the town’s investments in our roads are very important to the longevity of our roadway system. Facility Maintenance: The Department maintains grounds and landscaping at most town properties, including parks and recreation areas. We also maintain parking areas and town landings, and assist with beach maintenance and restoration. In 2014, we worked with the Town Administrators office and the Natural Resources Department to replace beach sand lost to coastal erosion at several locations, as well as completed a handicap-accessible platform at Linnell Landing and sturdy sand fencing at Mants Landing. Some of the landings require regular replenishment with sand due to stormwater issues, such as Ellis Landing and Linnell Landing. The Department completed design and permitting for stormwater repairs to Linnell Landing, which we anticipate completing in 2015. We have also been implementing an organic turf management program for the town’s playing fields. Cemetery Maintenance: The Department works with the Brewster Cemetery Commission to maintain the town cemeteries. The Department maintains the cemetery grounds, and coordinates plot sales, burials, headstone installation, and records management. There are seven town maintained cemeteries in town, but only Brewster Memorial Cemetery and Pine Grove Cemetery remain active. The remaining cemeteries are older, some classified as “ancient” cemeteries. As such, there are not many descendants with burial rights to plots in these other cemeteries and they are generally inactive. Brewster Memorial Cemetery: The Department continued the expansion of Area A, including extensive regarding, tree removal and landscaping efforts, and is proceeding with engineering to lay out plot markers and boundary locations. We expect this project to be complete in spring 2015, providing cemetery plots that should satisfy the town’s needs for the next 50 years. Vehicle Maintenance: The town has over 90 vehicles maintained by this Department, including vehicles and heavy equipment utilized by DPW, Fire Department, Water Department, Natural Resources, Council on Aging, Police Department, Elementary School, and Town Hall vehicles. We also maintain an assortment of landscaping tools and equipment, such as chain saws, power hand tools, and the solid waste handling equipment at the Recycling Center. Tree Warden: The DPW Superintendent is the town’s Tree Warden and oversees tree removal, pruning and planting along public ways, town Parks, recreation areas, and cemeteries. The Department of Public Works is tasked with a wide range of services for the town. Providing these services would not be possible without a group of very dedicated and skilled employees within the Department, and I wish to thank them for all of their efforts. We also wish to also recognize the efforts of the Superintendent, Robert Bersin, who retired at the end of 2014. Bob did a lot for the town in his 10 years of service and we wish him well in his future endeavors. Respectfully submitted, Christopher Miller, Interim Superintendent, Brewster Department of Public Works R E PORT OF THE BREWSTER RECREATION DEPARTMENT I. 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. 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, Build & Fly Kites at Drummer Boy Park, 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 accepted online through our website as well as completed in our office. The web site is also used as a means of communication for program information, department updates and weather cancellations. 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 future 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 R EPORT OF THE RECYCLING COMMISSION After the successful launch in early October 2013 of Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT), the program aimed to boost recycling and reduce the volume of trash generated by the Town, the Commission spent much of its time monitoring the acceptance and impact of the program. Committee members volunteered in a variety of venues to provide assistance to residents and visitors learning about how the PAYT system operates. For example, volunteers were on hand at the Brewster Recycling Center over the Memorial Day weekend and the July 4th weekend to assist DPW staff with educating our annual summer residents and visitors. Volunteers also participated in the annual Brewster Conservation Trust Event, which attracts many local families and visitors, thus providing another outreach opportunity to speak about the benefits of the new system. Typical markers of success for PAYT include a reduction in the amount of trash transported for disposal and an increase in recyclables for transport to processing centers. The Commission, however, had looked deeper into the costs of solid waste management on the whole (e.g. the complete operation of the Brewster Recycling Center) and made in-depth presentations to both the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee during the second half of the year when results were more meaningful. Due to the non-traditional start date of the PAYT, however, and other unique changes in permit sales affecting the financial analysis, the Commission ultimately chose to present the results for PAYT using three of the same 12 month periods (Oct11-Sept12; Oct12-Sept13; Oct13-Sept14). The result of implementing the PAYT system was a 47% reduction in waste for transport to SEMASS for energy recovery and an increase of 26% recycling for resource recovery. It should be noted that the DPW also obtained more home composting bins during calendar year 2014, which sold out quickly, and whose use had a positive impact on the amount of materials that must be transported. In total this change resulted in net savings for the Town. During the last quarter of the year, the Commission established a sub- committee to look into the viability of imposing a plastic bag ban at some point in the future. The Commission’s attention was primarily focused, however, on confirming that all town buildings and town sites were also reducing their waste and increasing their recycling. Special focus was on the Town beaches and other recreational areas. The Commission sought information from other towns, other haulers and the DPW to determine how the beaches and recreational areas can become more compliant with the environmental goals of the Commission and the Town. After several months of study, the Commission was prepared to make a recommendation to the Board of Selectmen to hire a contractor to place specially lidded recycling toters with every waste toter and to provide more frequent pickups at the majority of Town beaches and recreational areas effective in the second quarter of 2015. The Commission is planning more educational outreach for the coming year and will continue to meet with Town officials to encourage leadership in this important environmental endeavor. 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 Dan Guertin, Finance Committee Liaison Jillian Douglas, Town Administrator Liaison Peter Johnson, Citizen James Foley, Alternating Board of Selectmen Liaisons R EPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Thank you for your continued support of the students and staff of the Nauset Public Schools. Because of this support, we continue to experience outstanding results at Brewster Elementary Schools and the Nauset Regional Schools. At Eddy Elementary School, 42% (32/78 students) of Eddy’s Grade 5 Math Students scored in the Advanced level and 6 of these students had a PERFECT score of 280. MCAS scores at Nauset Middle School and Nauset High School continued to be far above the State average. For example, in Grade 10, 99% of the students scored advanced or proficient in English. These results can only happen with exceptional instructional practices by our teaching staff, small class sizes, and strong community engagement and support! But we don’t “teach to the test” in Nauset; rather we teach to exceed the State standards that are evaluated on the MCAS tests. Brewster students are enjoying a dry Eddy School this year. Voters approved over $ 3.2 million to replace the Eddy School roof and HVAC systems on the roof. The project was completed on time this summer, thanks to the great work of the contractor, project manager, the town administrator, and school staff. Window replacement and repair is ongoing at Stony Brook School and we look forward to the completion of this project in 2015. Technology purchases have been made to enhance student learning at both schools and plans are underway to obtain more devices for student use. We thank the citizens for their continued support of our school operating and capital budgets. The ribbon cutting ceremony, in late November, for the new Eddy School playground, was a culmination of three years of planning and the enormous efforts of numerous, dedicated, volunteers who spent countless hours making this playground come to fruition for the children of Brewster Many thanks to Police Chief Koch and the Police Department as well as Fire Chief Moran and the Fire Department for their continued support in assisting with safety & security at our schools The Nauset Middle School received 37% funding from the State for its roof project which was completed on time and under budget this past summer. Building needs remain a priority in Nauset and the School Committee is updating its Long Range Capital Plan with an emphasis on needed renovations for the 43 year-old Nauset High School. There were many exciting happenings at the Regional Schools in 2014. Highlights include: the introduction of Mandarin language, the completion of the Greenhouse Science Lab at the Middle School, and implementation of a 1:1 iPad instructional technology program for all freshman at Nauset High. All teachers in Grades 6-12 also received new iPads and judging by the enthusiasm of the staff and students, this program is a huge success, transforming not only how we teach but how learning can be extended far beyond the classroom walls. The Region School Committee will be considering expanding the program to all students in grades 8-12 in the very near future. Plans are also in the works to expand the use of technology in all of our K-5 schools as well. There are 16 students from foreign countries attending Nauset High School this year in our International Student Program. Now in its third year, the program provides significant resources to the school (students must pay a tuition based on Nauset’s per pupil expenditure amount) and enriches our students who are exposed to diverse cultures, customs, and languages. This year’s students are from Brazil, China, France, Germany, Norway and Spain. Ms. Cheng Wenju, the Academic assistant principal in a school of 3,000 students, grades 7-12 in Shijiazhuang, China, visited the Nauset District and spent time visiting classes at the Eddy School and the Middle & High School. She remarked at seeing the children so engaged in their learning, happy, and contributing ideas in their classrooms. Lively discussions were held between Ms. Cheng and our faculty. Mr. Tadje Tang, a Nauset graduate who studied in China and now teaches Mandarin at the High School, served as Ms. Cheng’s interpreter during her visit. This was truly a wonderful experience for staff and students in the District. The Joint School Committees (Brewster, Orleans, Wellfleet, Eastham and the Region) voted to form a Search Committee, and hope to select a new Superintendent in March 2015. I will retire this coming August after almost 40 years in education. I look forward to assisting in the transition of a new superintendent. It has been my privilege to serve as the Superintendent of the Nauset Public Schools for the last six years. Your kindness, support, and genuine interest in ensuring that our schools have the resources needed to excel has made my work a joy, not a job! Nauset is truly a very special place where “every child matters” and the community embraces that belief wholeheartedly. Respectfully submitted, Richard J. Hoffmann, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools REPORT OF TRI-TOWN BOARD OF MANAGERS The past year at the Tri-Town Septage Plant has been a bit of a roller coaster ride. It survived a proposed consultant demolition study slated for September 2014 that progressed to another consultant study keeping the plant operating until December 2016 when its discharge permit ends. The Inter Municipal Agreement or IMA was extended until this date and Orleans, Brewster, and Eastham gave 100,000 collectively to help reach the 2016 closing date. Orleans is studying what to do with the facility during this time. In the meantime the facility continues to operate, serving 34 septage pumping companies, and treats all the septage waste form Brewster to Provincetown. In FY14 we treated over 9 million gallons of septage and restaurant grease. At this writing we are at an 11 million gallon pace. All treated within the parameters of our State discharge permit, and discharged into our receiving beds. During the past year we had successful results converting our sand filters to denitrification units and piolet tested them during this past summer cutting our nitrates in half during the piolet test. However to use this system permanently some small modifications need to be made to the facility. It is well known that the TTSP is 7 years past its design life of 20 years but don’t tell the plant or the operators that, as we continue to modify or repair equipment. Such as replacing corroded metal on clarifiers, modifying truck scales, dewatering equipment, and odor control equipment to keep it functioning as designed. We have also found ways to wash the carbon in the odor control system in house, saving thousands of dollars. We offer a number of guided tours of the facility each year. One sponsored by the Orleans Pond Coalition. Where residents can see the operation first hand and get questions about septage treatment answered. All this is done on the revenues from septage pumping which has enabled the plant to operate self-sufficiently since opening. I would like to thank the Haulers that take their pumping’s to us, the residents they pump, and the staff here that get it done. R E PORT OF THE VETERANS SERVICES DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Brewster The following report is of the activities of the Department of Veterans’ Services for the Town of Brewster for Calendar Year 2014. 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 $47,200 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) benefits. Over the past year this office obtained more than $1.65 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, Wednesday and Thursday, 9:00 AM to 4:00PM and can be reached at 508-430-7510. 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 REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS The Brewster Water Department continues with its mission to provide a high quality, reliable water supply to over 90% of the residents of Brewster. The staff of 12 maintains the water infrastructure in top condition to meet pure quality drinking water standards, fire protection, and other uses. To maintain the integrity of the water supply the department engages in semi-annual flushing. Department personnel are using a flushing program that has been fine tuned over the last two years and they have concentrated on those areas of town that have had the most problematic histories in terms of discoloration from iron residues. The department has over the last few years undertaken numerous capital projects, chief of which was bringing Well 6 on-line. This well, projected to cost $3.2 million, ended up costing $2.7 million and is now well integrated into department operations. It is a key contributor to meeting summer peak usage and is being used effectively in maintaining supply when off-season maintenance of other wells is performed. The department is implementing an on-going program to replace old meters and meters in pits with meters that will be remotely read. This will keep department personnel out of what might be potentially dangerous meter pits. Work along Route 6A will include the replacement of old pre-1975 iron service lines from main to curb stop, the addition of stubs to side streets currently not served by town water, and placement of new hydrants where needed. It will be completed prior to Mass DPW work on the road and is expected to cost about $800 thousand. A proposal to pave the access to Well 3, located deep in the woods on the north side of Freeman's Way, is scheduled to come before town meeting at the Spring 2015 ATM and, if approved, for construction to begin shortly thereafter. All water department operations are funded from semi-annual revenue generated by water usage. Department revenues of approximately $2.5 million pay expenditures that include direct and indirect costs of personnel, operating expenses, annual capital expenditures, and debt obligations. The department currently makes its major bond payments for the treatment plant at Well 4 in the Punkhorn, for Well 6, and for the water department building. In addition, it is financing the purchase of land off Freeman's Way to expand the buffer undeveloped land area near Wells 1 and 2. The Board of Water Commissioners gratefully recognizes the dedicated and willing work of our Department Staff. We wish to express our 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 to conservation efforts throughout the year.

The committee consists of representatives of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Health, Planning Board, Conservation Commission, Comprehensive Water Planning Committee, Water Commission, Health Director and Building Commissioner. Our purpose, as defined by the Water Quality Protection bylaw that created the committee, is to: • Promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community by ensuring an adequate quality and quantity of drinking water for the residents, institutions and businesses of the town; • Preserve and protect all existing and potential sources of drinking water supplies within the town; • Protect other sensitive water resource areas, including those land areas that contribute recharge to private drinking water supply wells; • Prevent temporary and permanent contamination of the water resources of the town. The bulk of the committee's work consists of reviewing applications for water quality certificates of compliance. These certificates are required of all non- residential properties in Zones I and II surrounding town wells, the Groundwater Protection District, and the Pleasant Bay Watershed. Applications must document conformance with the conditions establishing the Water Quality Protection District. Ever three years the certificate must be renewed with documentation of any changes, demonstration that any Title 5 septic systems are functioning satisfactorily, demonstration that any decommissioned wells are secured from access, and that all conditions of the bylaw are being met. This past year the committee worked closely with two wood waste processors in town. In addition to reviewing the results from water monitoring wells at the sites, the committee visited both sites to review the status of their ongoing efforts to remove and process any buried wood. The committee remains diligent in monitoring the operations at those sites to ensure that they continue to show improved water monitoring results. The committee met with Mark O'Brien and Peter Erwin, Director of Operations and new Course Superintendent respectively, as part of the review of the Captains Golf Course certificate renewal. They have been particularly responsive in addressing any concerns raised by the committee. The committee continues to review closely the results from the monitoring wells at the site, paying particularly close attention to the results in the context of the environmentally friendly turf management practices being implemented at the course. The committee would like to express its appreciation to administrative assistant Marilyn Mooers for all her work on committee matters and the cheerfulness with which she does that work, and to Dave Bennett for his wise counsel as technical consultant to the committee. Respectfully submitted, Douglas Wilcock, Chair Nancy Ellis Ice, Vice Chair Pat Hughes Joanne Hughes Jason Klump Chris Miller Paula Miller Victor Staley R EPORT OF THE ZONING AGENT Municipal 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 2014. 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 REPORT OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS The Zoning Board of Appeals consists of nine members appointed by the Selectmen. The five regular members are Philip Jackson (Chair), Arthur Stewart (Vice-chair), Brian Harrison, Bruce MacGregor and John Nixon. The four alternate members are Paul Kearney, Leslie Erikson, Patricia Eggers and Sarah Kemp. This membership has remained intact since 2009. During calendar year 2014 fifteen regular applications were heard. Additionally the Board heard an application for a comprehensive permit to construct twenty-eight units of attached and detached single-family dwellings on approximately 9.43 acres of land at 0 Sachemus Trail. Seven of the twenty- eight dwellings were to be affordable. The application process began in 2013 and a decision granting approval was rendered on August 25, 2014. 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 fifteen regular applications consisted of nine Special Permits, three Variances and three withdrawals without prejudice. 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 REPORT OF THE ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES 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 in Barnstable. 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. A Charter Review Committee was appointed by the Speaker and members met throughout the fiscal year. The committee concluded its work in May and issued a report and recommendations to the full Assembly. The full context of the report and all meeting videos, agenda and minutes can be viewed on the county web site at http://www.barnstablecounty.org/charter-review-committee-agendas- minutes/. Standing Committees: • Economic Affairs: addresses economic development in Barnstable County • Finance: reviews the budget and looks at every major decision rendered by the Barnstable County government that has financial implications including inter- governmental fiscal policies and procedures • Governmental Regulations: address all matters relating to the Regional Policy Plan (committee composition consists of the Chairs of all other Standing Committees) • Health and Human Services: addresses matters relating to public health, social services and housing • Natural Resources: addresses matters relating to environmental matters • Public Services: addresses matters relating to public services Members of each Standing Committee will review the components of all proposed ordinances assigned to and under consideration by each appropriate committee prior to issuing a report to the full Assembly. An important and significant responsibility of the Assembly is the review and adoption of a proposed budget for the ensuing fiscal year. A proposed budget is submitted to the Assembly of Delegates by the Board of County Commissioners (executive branch of Barnstable County government) each February. 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 FY2014 (July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014), the Assembly of Delegates adopted seven ordinances (#13-05 through 13-11, 14-01 and 14-02). 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 summary description of the ordinances and subject matter that were reviewed by the committees and ordinances adopted by the Assembly during fiscal year 2014.
