Richard W. Philbrick
December 6, 1915 -October 19, 2013
Richard (Dick) Philbrick, a longtime resident of Orleans, was a man whose leadership
and contributions to his country and to Orleans deserves true recognition from his fellow
citizens. Dick attended Harvard University and afterward entered the United States Air
Force, attaining the rank of Colonel. He accomplished photo-mapping Eastern Canada
for Aeronautical Charts to guide ferry pilots en route to Europe, photo-mapped the
Amazon Valley for alternate rubber sources, performed photo reconnaissance for the
Allied Invasion of Europe and managed the "Casey Jones" Program which photo-
mapped all of Europe. During his last command in the Air Force, he was invited to join
a group of scientists from Massachusetts who later formed the corporation Itek. Dick
became Vice President in charge of Itek's Research and Development, for the
"CORONA" program which provided coverage from earth—orbiting vehicles which
proved the non-existence of the "Missile Gap" and erased the underpinning of the Cold
War. Upon his retirement, Dick opened the Compass Rose Bookstore, becoming a year
round resident of Orleans and dedicating his time to serving on many Committees in
Orleans:
Board of Selectmen 1994-2004
Cape Cod Nat'l Seashore Advisory 2006-2013
Cape Light Compact 1999-2009
Housing Task Force 2006-2008
Joint Committee on Affordable Housing 2006-2007
Orleans Planning Board 1993-1994
Orleans Renewable Energy Committee 2013-2016
Wind Energy Committee 2004-2006
Dick worked tirelessly for clean and safe solutions to energy and resources. Orleans is
truly a better community because of Dick's commitment to Town service as a volunteer.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND TOWN ADMINISTRATOR
In 2013, the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator continued their efforts to keep
the public informed on issues that were before the Town, and the Board's open door
policy ensured the public was welcome at any hearings and meetings. In addition, a
number of projects and initiatives, along with many of the actions under their annual
goals, were completed including:
•Negotiated new collective bargaining agreements with all five of our employee unions;
•Funded a comprehensive town-wide stormwater management plan;
•Funded dedicated Stabilization Funds to address the Town's Building and Facilities
Maintenance needs and Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) liabilities;
•Adoption of a new general bylaw to regulate parking at town ways and landings during
the busy summer season;
•Adoption of a new general bylaw for fertilizer nitrogen control;
• Initiated monthly meetings to focus on adapting and implementing the Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan;
• Initiated the process to terminate the Tri-Town IMA and facilitate the orderly
decommissioning of the septage treatment plant;
•Established a working group to pursue low-effect state and federal permits to provide
limited ORV access on Nauset Beach during the piping plover nesting season;
•Completed the installation of a new irrigation system and well at Eldredge Field;
•Worked with MassDOT to successfully complete the new round-a-bout project design
to improve the safety of the Route 28/6A and Canal Road intersection;
•Adopted a management plan to improve the water quality of Cedar Pond Water;
•Developed a fiscally responsible annual operating budget that focused on managing
the Town's growth and development;
•Reviewed all revenue sources to maintain fair pricing for Town services provided;
•Worked with the Snow Library Board of Trustees to hire a new Library Director in
accordance with the guidelines of the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners;
• Initiated the creation of a new Director of Public Works position and implementation of
a Department of Public Works and Natural Resources to meet the needs of the Town;
•Completed a Fire Department Staffing and Organizational study;
In April,Tom Daley, P.E. was hired as the new Director of Public Works and Natural
Resources and in July, Tavi Prugni was promoted to Snow Library Director. Finally, the
office experienced a change in Selectmen when Susan Christie's term ended and Alan
McClennen Jr. was elected to the Board in May. As we move forward, we will continue
to ensure that the residents and visitors of Orleans receive prompt, courteous, and
knowledgeable customer service, while retaining cost efficiency as a priority. We will
strive to maintain the core services that our residents expect while considering new
initiatives that improve current practices.
The Selectmen and Town Administrator wish to thank the many citizens who have
provided significant volunteer service to the Town. Without them, Orleans could not
function as well as we do. And last, but certainly not least, the Board of Selectmen
appreciates and thanks our dedicated employees for their hard work and
professionalism which makes Orleans such a special place to live and visit.
Respectfully submitted,
Sims McGrath Jr., Chairman & John F. Kelly, Town Administrator

SUMMARY
The Community Preservation Committee recommends that the following amounts be
appropriated and/or reserved from Fiscal Year 2014 Community Preservation Fund
revenues, unless otherwise specified, for Fiscal Year 2014 community preservation
purposes with each item considered a separate appropriation:
Project 1: Affordable Housing Development Support Funds
Applicant: Affordable Housing Committee
Amount: $5,000
Summary: This request is to support the Orleans Affordable Housing Committee in its
efforts to increase affordable housing opportunities. The funds will be used for the soft
costs associated with creating or retaining community housing units, such as property
appraisals, title research, and other legal services.
Project 2: Eldredge Park Irrigation Well
Applicant: Town of Orleans
Amount: $112,000
Summary: The Town has requested funds to design and install an irrigation well for the
new irrigation system at Eldredge Park ball field and its west terraced seating area. The
goal of the project is to eliminate municipal loading at this location by utilizing a non-
potable well with benefits being cost avoidance for the water being consumed and water
conservation.
Project 3: Meeting House Storm Window Replacement
Applicant: Orleans Historical Society
Amount: $9,450
Summary: The Orleans Historical Society seeks funds to replace the eight exterior
storm windows at the historic Meeting House Museum, located at 3 River Road. The
new storm windows and screens would include appropriate material, hardware and a
recessed style to comply with the antique structure and beauty of the building.
Project 4: Old Firehouse Restoration Feasibility Study
Applicant: Orleans Community Partnership
Amount: $68,000
Summary: The Orleans Community Partnership, a licensee under the Board of
Selectmen of the Old Firehouse at 44 Main Street in Orleans, has requested funds to
study the restoration potential of this building. The Fire House is the first fire station ever
built by the Town, having been constructed in 1925 following a town appropriation of
$7,000. The initial focus of this request is to prepare an historic structures report to fully
understand the history of the building, the remaining historic artifacts and its reuse
potential under the Secretary of the Interior's guidelines. Following that work, to be
done by experts in historic preservation, the Orleans Community Partnership will
convene focus groups to develop a building restoration plan including preliminary
drawings and a budget so the Board of Selectmen can decide how to proceed to
preserve this important part of Orleans history. All procurement is to be consistent with
Massachusetts General Laws.
Committee Expenses: Maximum Allowable $ 41,500; CP Committee Voted $25,000
The Community Preservation Act permits the Committee to allocate up to 5 per cent of
annual revenues (surtax and state share) for operating and administrative expenses.
67
For FY 2014, the 5% would be $41,500 (total revenue estimated to be $830,000).
However, due to continued reductions in state funding, the Community Preservation
Committee is recommending that only $25,000 be used for Committee expenses
(including legal consultation, maintaining records and, if funding permits, potential
studies directed toward effectively realizing the Town's possibilities in the areas of
recreation, open space, community housing, historic resources). Any and all unused
funds at the end of the fiscal year revert to the fund balance for future projects.
Community Housing Reserves: CP Committee Voted $78,000
In order that the Town can meet its CPA obligation to spend 10% of all estimated
revenues for FY 2014 on community housing, the CPC is recommending that the
difference between the 10% ($83,000) and the FY 2014 project appropriation for
community housing (Affordable Housing Committee $5,000) be set aside for future
community housing projects.
Historic Resources Reserves: CP Committee Voted $5,550
In order that the Town can meet its CPA obligation to spend 10% of all estimated
revenues for FY 2014 on historic resources, the CPC is recommending that the
difference between the 10% ($83,000) and the FY 2014 project appropriations for
historic resources (Orleans Historical Society $9,450 + Orleans Community Partnership
$68,000 = $77,450) be set aside in reserves for future historic resource projects.
MOTION: That Article #4 be accepted and adopted as printed in the warrant and that
the sum of Eight Hundred Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty Nine and 00/100 Dollars
($800,729.00) be transferred from the Community Preservation Fund for the purposes
and in the amounts set forth in the article.

B. OWNER.
1. The Owner shall be responsible for the elimination or protection of all cross-
connections on his/her premises. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
2. The Owner shall be responsible for applying for and obtaining all necessary
approvals for the maintenance of cross-connections and installation of backflow
prevention devices. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
83
3. The Owner shall have any device that fails an inspection or test repaired or replaced
by a licensed plumber. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
4. The Owner shall inform the Water Department of any proposed or modified cross-
connection and also any existing cross-connections of which the owner is aware but has
not been found by the Water Department. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
5. The Owner shall not install a bypass around any backflow preventer unless there is a
backflow preventer of the same type on the bypass. Owners who cannot shut down
operation for testing of the device(s) must supply additional devices necessary to allow
testing to take place.
6. The Owner shall install backflow preventers in a manner approved by the Water
Department. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
7. The Owner shall install only reduced pressure backflow preventers and double check
valve assemblies approved by MassDEP. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
8. Any Owner of industrial, commercial, or institutional premises having a private well or
other private water source must have a permit if the well or source is cross connected to
the Orleans water system. Permission to cross connect may be denied by the Board.
The Owner may be required to install a backflow preventer at the service entrance if a
private water source is maintained even if it is not cross connected to the Orleans water
system. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
9. A private well or individual water source serving residential dwellings used for
potable or non-potable purposes will not be allowed a physical connection with the
public water supply system.
10. The Owner shall be responsible for the payment of all fees for annual or semi-
annual device testing, retesting in the case that the device fails to operate correctly, and
second re-inspections for noncompliance with Water Department or MassDEP
requirements. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
§ 158-9. Degree of hazard. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
The Board recognizes the threat to the public water system arising from cross-
connections. As such, the Board, whereas it is responsible for the quality of the public
water supply, may require a containment device on the water service entrance to any
customer who, as a result of unprotected cross-connections, could contaminate the
public water supply system.
§ 158-10. Enforcement. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
The Board shall not allow a cross-connection to exist with the public water supply
system unless it is considered necessary and all appropriate approvals and/or permits
have been issued.
§ 158-11. Existing in-use backflow-prevention devices. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art.
32]
Any existing backflow preventer shall be allowed by the Board to continue in service
unless the degree of hazard is such as to supersede the effectiveness of the present
backflow preventer or result in an unreasonable risk to the public health. Where the
degree of hazard has increased, as in the case of a residential installation converting to
a business establishment, any existing backflow preventer must be upgraded to a
reduced pressure backflow preventer, or a reduced pressure backflow preventer must
be installed in the event that no backflow device was present.
§ 158-12. Testing. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
A. Reduced pressure backflow preventers shall be tested and inspected at least semi-
annually and double check valve assemblies shall be tested and inspected at least
annually by the Water Department.
84
B. Testing shall be performed by the Water Department's certified tester or a
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection certified tester with the
approval of the Water Department.
C. The testing shall be conducted during the Water Department's regular business
hours. Exceptions to this, when at the request of the Owner, may require additional
charges to cover the increased costs to the Water Department.
D. (Reserved)
E. Any backflow preventer which fails during a periodic test must be repaired or
replaced by a licensed plumber. When repairs are necessary, upon completion of the
repair, the device will be retested at the Owner's expense to insure proper operation.
High hazard situations will not be allowed to continue unprotected if the backflow
preventer fails the test and cannot be repaired immediately. In other situations, a
compliance date of not more than fourteen days after the test date will be established.
The Owner is responsible for spare parts, repair tools, or a replacement device. Parallel
installation of two devices is an effective means of the Owner insuring that uninterrupted
water service remains during testing or repair of devices and is strongly recommended
when the owner desires such continuity.
F. Backflow prevention devices may be tested more frequently than specified above in
"A" in cases where there is a history of test failures and the Water Department feels that
due to the degree of hazard involved, additional testing is warranted. Cost of the
additional tests will be borne by the Owner.
§ 158-13. Records and reports. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
A. RECORDS The Water Department maintains the following:
1. Master files on customer cross-connection tests and/or inspections.
2. Master files on approved cross-connection installations.
3. Master files on facilities surveyed and violations found.
4. Master files on correspondences, violation notices and enforcement actions.
B. REPORTS.
The Water Department will submit the following to the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection upon request:
1.Annual list of all cross-connections protected by an approved dual check valve
assembly or reduced pressure backflow preventer device.
2.Summary of cross connection inspections and surveys.
§ 158-14. Residential dual check. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
All new residential buildings are required to install a residential dual check device
immediately downstream of the water meter. This device will be provided by the Water
Department at a scheduled cost to the homeowner. Installation of this residential dual
check device on a retrofit basis on existing service lines will be instituted at a time and
at a potential cost to the homeowner as deemed necessary by the Water Department.
The Owner must be aware that installation of a residential dual check valve results in a
potential closed plumbing system within his residence. As such, The Owner shall be
responsible for provisions for thermal expansion within his closed loop system, i.e., the
installation of thermal expansion devices and/or pressure relief valves.
§ 158-15. Strainers. [Amended 5-11-2009 ATM, Art. 32]
The Board strongly recommends that all new and retrofit installations of reduced
pressure backflow preventers and double check valve assemblies include the
installation of strainers located immediately upstream of the backflow device. The
installation of strainers may preclude the fouling of backflow devices due to both
foreseen and unforeseen circumstances occurring to the water supply system such as
85
water main repairs, water main breaks, fires, periodic cleaning and flushing of mains,
etc. These occurrences may "stir up" debris within the water main that will cause fouling
of backflow devices installed without the benefit of strainers.

ARTICLE 35. ADOPT GENERAL BYLAW, CH. 103 — FERTILIZER NITROGEN
CONTROL
To see if the Town will vote to adopt Chapter 103, Fertilizer Nitrogen Control as follows.
103-1. Purpose
A Town bylaw to conserve resources and protect the environment by regulating the
outdoor application of nitrogen in order to reduce the overall amount of excess
nitrogen entering the town's Resource Areas as defined in the Orleans Wetlands
Protection Bylaw (CH. 160-2) and Orleans Wetland Protection Regulations CH
196A-2. Reducing excess nitrogen helps protect and improve water quality of
Orleans valuable estuaries.
103-2.Applicability
This bylaw shall apply to and regulate any and all applications of nitrogen fertilizer
within the Town of Orleans.
103-3. Definitions
"Agriculture" includes farming in all its branches, generally as the cultivation and
tillage of soil, dairying, the production cultivation, growing and harvesting of
agricultural, floricultural, viticultural, or horticultural commodities, and shellfishing,
including preparations and delivery to storage or to market or to carriers for
transportation to market.
"Fertilizer' means a substance that enriches the soil with elements essential for plant
growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium or other substances; fertilizer does
not include those nutrients that are normally excluded from fertilizer such as
chemicals that are part of dolomite, limestone, or lime.
"Impervious surface" means a surface that has been compacted or covered with a
layer of material so that it is highly resistant to infiltration by water.
95
"Nitrogen" means an element essential to plant growth. For the purposes of the
Bylaw, nitrogen may be available as slow-release, controlled-release, timed-release,
slowly available, or water insoluble nitrogen, which means nitrogen in a form that
delays its availability for plant uptake and use after application and is not rapidly
available to turf and other plants; and/or quick-release, water-soluble nitrogen which
means nitrogen in a form that does not delay its availability for turf and other plant
uptake and is rapidly available for turf and other plant uptake and use after
application.
"Turf' means grass-covered soil held together by the roots of the grass, also known
as "sod" or "lawn".
103-4. Performance Standards
All applications of nitrogen shall comply with the following standards:
A. The application of nitrogen is prohibited between October 16 and April 14.
B. No person shall cause nitrogen to apply to, or otherwise be deposited to any
impervious surface including parking lot, driveway, roadway, sidewalk, or ice.
Any fertilizer applied, spilled, and/or deposited on any impervious surface, either
intentionally or accidentally, must be immediately and completely removed and
contained and either legally applied to turf or any other legal site or retuned to an
appropriate container.
C. No person shall apply nitrogen directly before or during a heavy rain event.
D. The application of nitrogen is prohibited within 100 feet of Resource Areas as defined
in the Orleans Wetland Protection Bylaw and regulations.
103-5. Exemptions
The following activities shall be exempt from Section 103-4:
A. Application of nitrogen for agriculture and horticulture uses
B. Application of nitrogen to gardens, including vegetable and flower, trees, shrubs and
indoor applications including greenhouses.
C.Application of nitrogen for the establishment of new vegetation in the first growing
season, or repairing of turf in the first growing season, after substantial damage
D. Yard waste compost or other similar materials that are primarily organic in nature and
are applied to improve the physical condition of the soil.
103-6. Recommendations
The Town of Orleans strongly recommends that nitrogen should be applied to turf
and other plants at the lowest rate necessary. Any single application of nitrogen
should not exceed 0.5 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet, and the annual
aggregate total application of nitrogen should not exceed 1.0 pounds per 1000
square feet. The application of any nitrogen should be of an organic, slow-release,
water-soluble form.
96
103-7. Enforcement
The enforcement authority shall be the Zoning Enforcement Officer or his designee.
103-8.Severability
Should any section, part, or provision of this bylaw be deemed invalid or
unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining terms of
this bylaw as a whole or any part thereof, other than the section, part, or provision
held invalid or unconstitutional. (Simple Majority Vote Required)
MOTION: That Article #35 be accepted and adopted as printed in the warrant, except
that in Section 103-6, the word "water-soluble" shall be changed to "water -insoluble".
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
For clarification, Article 35 is a general bylaw, which requires simple majority approval.
Proposed Article 35 seeks to reduce nitrogen loading in our waterways resulting
from our use of nitrogen-based fertilizers. It is estimated that between 7 and 10% of
nitrogen flowing into our waters comes from fertilizers. Similar to the Town's fertilizer
use policy already in effect for all Town properties, schools and sports fields, this new
general bylaw would prohibit the following four applications of nitrogen-based fertilizers
- From late Fall to early Spring, when it has little impact on lawns and gardens
- Onto impervious surfaces
- Before and during heavy rains
- Within 100 feet of wetlands
The bylaw also recommends that nitrogen not exceed more than one pound per 1000
square feet of lawn.
There are three exempted uses of fertilizers-
- For agricultural purposes
- For composting purposes
- To help establish a new lawn
The Planning Board is aware that a public outreach effort is necessary to help educate
residents about their lawn care practices. We feel that adoption of this bylaw with its
mild requirements is a positive step toward reducing the amount of fertilizer nitrogen
that enters the groundwater table and ultimately our local bays and estuaries. Thank
you.
97
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries by the necessary majority.

punished by a fine of two hundred dollars ($200.00) for the first offense and three
hundred dollars ($300.00) for each offense thereafter. Each day or portion thereof
during which a violation continues shall constitute a separate offense and each
provision of the Bylaw or regulations violated shall constitute a separate offense. This
Bylaw may be enforced pursuant to the non-criminal disposition procedures set forth in
G.L. Ch. 40, §21 D. The Department or an authorized agent of the Department shall be
the enforcing person.
E. Entry to Perform Duties Under this Bylaw

Bylaw and regulations and may make or cause to be made such examinations, surveys
or sampling as the Department deems reasonably necessary.
F. Appeals
The decisions or orders of the Department shall be final. Further relief shall be to a
court of competent jurisdiction.
G. Remedies Not Exclusive
The remedies listed in this Bylaw are not exclusive of any other remedies available
under any applicable federal, state or local law.
§148-11. SEVERABILITY
The provisions of this Bylaw are hereby declared to be severable. If any provision,
paragraph, sentence, or clause, of this Bylaw or the application thereof to any person,
establishment, or circumstances shall be held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the
other provisions or application of this Bylaw.
103
§148-12. TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS
Residential property owners shall have 90 days from the effective date of the Bylaw to
comply with its provisions provided good cause is shown for the failure to comply with
the Bylaw during that period. (Simple Majority Vote Required)
MOTION: That Article #36 be accepted and adopted as printed in the warrant.
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously.
ARTICLE 37. AUTHORIZE HOME RULE PETITION —ADDITIONAL ALL-ALCOHOL
PACKAGE STORE LICENSE
To see if the Town will vote to authorize and instruct the Board of Selectmen to petition
the Great and General Court (State Legislature) for special legislation authorizing the
Town to grant an additional all-alcohol package store license, or to take any other action
relative thereto. (Simple Majority Vote Required)
MOTION: That Article #37 be accepted and adopted as printed in the warrant.
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries by necessary majority.
ARTICLE 38. AMEND ZONING BYLAW CHAPTER 164-4, DEFINITIONS
To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaws, Section 164-4, Definitions, to
amend the following definition:
Buildable Upland: That land which is contiguous, not in the Conservancy District, and
which is not a a swamp, pond, bog, dry bog, salt marsh, coastal bank, coastal
beach, coastal dune, (b) areas of exposed ground water LcLa-R `"'h;�n subject
to flooding from storms and mean high tides, nor (d) is located in the FEMA flood zone
100-year base flood elevation. (See §164-23 and §164-20). The terms "swamp,"
"pond,", "salt marsh," "coastal bank," "coastal beach," or "coastal dune," as
used in this section , shall be defined as in the Massachusetts Wetlands
Protection Act, MGL C. 131, 4 40, and the regulations issued thereunder, 310 CMR
10.04, as of Mav, 2008. (2/3 Vote Required)
MOTION: That Article #38 be accepted and adopted as printed in the warrant.
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on this article on January 15, 2013. 17
people were in attendance. The Board received no comments in favor of or opposed to
this amendment. The Planning Board voted 5-0-0 to recommend approval.
The Problem — Definition of buildable upland excludes many wetland areas and other
resource areas, but does not exclude coastal beaches, banks, and dunes. These areas
are regulated by the Wetlands Protection Act, so a consistent interpretation of land use
regulations should exclude coastal beaches, banks, and dunes from being considered
part of the buildable upland of a lot.
104
Solution —the terms coastal bank, coastal beach, and coastal dune are proposed to be
added to those land features which are NOT part of buildable upland. An updated
reference to the wetlands terms themselves is added, which is consistent with Section
164-21 C of the bylaw.
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously.
ARTICLE 39. AMEND ZONING BYLAW CHAPTER 164-4, DEFINITIONS
To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaws, Section 164-4, Definitions, to
amend the following definition:
Doq Kennels — One pack or collection of dogs on a single lot, maintained for
breeding, boarding, sale, training, hunting or other commercial purposes and
specifically including every pack or collection of more than three dogs three
months old or over, owned or kept on a single lot for anv purpose, other than 3 or
more dogs kept solely as personal pets of the owner of the dogs.
(2/3 Vote Required)
MOTION: That Article #39 be accepted and adopted as printed in the warrant.
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on this article January 15, 2013. 17 people
were in attendance. The Board received no comments in favor of or opposed to this
amendment. The Planning Board voted 5-0-0 to recommend approval.
Concerning the licensing of dogs, State law defines the keeping of more than 3 dogs as
a "dog kennel". Dog kennels are permitted under the Orleans Zoning Bylaw, but are
allowed only in the Industrial Zoning District. Therefore, any homeowners who have
more than 3 dogs are technically in violation of zoning (unless they reside in the
Industrial District).
Recently, the Town Clerk received applications from a homeowner to license more than
3 dogs. Because the Clerk was aware that this would be in violation of a local bylaw,
she was not able to issue the licenses.
What is proposed is to add a definition of Dog Kennels to the Zoning Bylaw. It is highly
inclusive, except that it expressly states that the keeping of more than 3 dogs as
personal pets shall not be considered a dog kennel.
This amendment goes hand in hand with the general bylaw amendment of article 33.
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously.
ARTICLE 40. AMEND ZONING BYLAW CHAPTER 164-3, NONCONFORMING
STRUCTURES
To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaws, Section 164-3, Applicability,
by revising subsection C. Nonconforming Structures and Uses. (b) and (c), as follows:
105
(b) EXGept as at#e%R_ rth in (G) belew, Alteration to a nonconforming single or
two family residential structure that increases the nonconforming nature of the
structure, includina those alterations which result in the creation of a new

by extendina further into a required setback area or an increase in the
heiaht of the structure areater than the allowed heiaht, may be allowed on
Special Permit from the Board of Appeals provided the Board of Appeals finds
that such alteration will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood
than existing nonconforming structure.

PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on this article on January 15, 2013. 17 people
were in attendance. The Board received comments from two citizens indicating concern
that the bylaw amendment was premature, and that it would water down local land use
controls. The Planning Board discussed these concerns, consulted with the Town
attorney, and subsequently voted 5-0-0 to recommend your approval.
Section 164-3 of the Zoning Bylaw addresses, among other things, alterations to
nonconforming structures. Under existing zoning, certain alterations require a zoning
Variance. These include alterations that 1) create a new dimensional nonconformity, 2)
Intensify an existing nonconformity (by extending further into a setback area), or 3)
increase the height about the allowed limit.
Recent case law (Gale v. Gloucester) has changed the way alterations to
nonconforming structures are treated. Instead of obtaining a Variance, the alterations
may be allowed by Special Permit if the Board of Appeals finds that the alteration will
not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing structure.
Bylaw Section 164-3 is proposed to be amended accordingly so that the Town's
regulations concerning alterations to nonconforming structures are consistent with
recent case law.
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries by necessary 2/3 majority.
106
ARTICLE 41. AMEND ZONING BYLAW CHAPTER 164-40.3, TEMPORARY
MORATORIUM ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA TREATMENT CENTERS

Section 164-40.3 Temporary Moratorium on Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers, that
would provide as follows, and further to amend the Table of Contents to add Section
164-40.3:
164-40.3. Temporary Moratorium on Medical Mariivana
A. PURPOSE
By vote at the State election on November 6, 2012, the voters of the Commonwealth
approved legislation regulating the cultivation, distribution, possession and use of
marijuana for medical purposes. The law took effect on January 1, 2013 and the State
Department of Public Health is required to issue regulations regarding implementation
within 120 days of the law's effective date. Currently under the Zoning Bylaw, a medical
marijuana treatment facility is not a permitted use in the Town of Orleans and
regulations promulgated by the State Department of Public Health are expected to
provide guidance to the Town in regulating medical marijuana, including medical
marijuana treatment centers.
The regulation of medical marijuana raises novel and complex legal and planning issues
and the Town needs time to study and consider the regulation of medical marijuana
treatment centers and address such novel and complex issues and to address the
potential impact of the State regulations on local zoning and to undertake a planning
process to consider amending the Zoning Bylaw regarding regulation of medical
marijuana treatment centers and other uses related to the regulation of medical
marijuana.
The Town hereby adopts a temporary moratorium on the use of land and structures in
the Town for medical marijuana treatment centers so as to allow the Town sufficient
time to engage in a planning process to address the effects of such structures and uses
in the Town and to enact bylaws in a manner consistent with sound land use planning
goals and objectives.
B. TEMPORARY MORATORIUM
The Town of Orleans hereby adopts a temporary moratorium on the use of land or
structures for a medical marijuana treatment center. The moratorium will be in effect
until July 1, 2014. During the moratorium period the Town will undertake a planning
process to address the potential impacts of medical marijuana in Orleans, consider the
Department of Public Health regulations regarding medical marijuana treatment facilities
and related uses, and to the extent it is determined to allow them, adopt new zoning
regulations to address the impact and operation of medical treatment centers and
related uses.

C. SEVERABILITY
The invalidity of any portion or provisions of this Bylaw shall not invalidate any other
portion, provision or section hereof.

MOTION: That Article #41 be accepted and adopted as printed in the warrant.
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on this article on February 26, 2013. 31
people were in attendance. The Board received two comments from citizens. The
Planning Board voted 5-0-0 to recommend your approval.
Last November, voters approved making medical marijuana legal in Massachusetts.
The Department of Public Health recently issued DRAFT regulations to further the
provision, which regulations are due to be released in May. The Board of Selectmen is
concerned that if such facilities are to be located in Orleans that they should be properly
regulated.
What is proposed is a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries until July 1, 2014.
This time period will allow the Planning Board to review DPH regulations and develop
an appropriate zoning bylaw in time for the 2014 Annual Town Meeting.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE
In 2013, the Affordable Housing Committee saw the completion of the John P. Hinckley,
Jr. Affordable Housing Project. Four affordable homes were sold to income-qualified
first-time homebuyers and are occupied. Completion of the project brought Orleans
Subsidized Housing Inventory to 9.15%, which is 28 units short of reaching the Orleans
Comprehensive Plan goal of 10%.
Construction began on the Habitat for Humanity housing project on Namskaket Road.
5 homes are at various stages of construction, with a "blitz build" home occupied in the
fall. A mid-1800s dwelling situated on a 6t" lot was unable to be restored and a new
home will be built on the site at the completion of the initial project.
The Affordable Housing Committee was supportive of the Cape Cod Village project, a
proposed community for up to 16 autistic adults. The private project continues to move
forward with siting alternatives and fundraising. If constructed in Orleans, the project
would add 16 affordable units to the Town's inventory.
The committee has also been supportive of efforts to secure long-term funding for Canal
House, a residential sober living facility.

AGRICULTURAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Council represents the town's agricultural community. Its charge includes advising
and collaborating with the boards, committees, and other local organizations on matters
consistent with the Agricultural Task Force Final Report and the Orleans
Comprehensive Plan.
In May the Town Meeting voted to adopt a proposed Right to Farm bylaw, drafted by the
Council, as General Bylaw Chapter 140 of the Town of Orleans. The Council has been
collaborating with the Conservation Administrator and the Conservation Commission in
preparing the former Putnam Farm for agricultural leases. The Council is working on a
trifold brochure that would draw attention to unique aspects of Orleans agriculture—the
shellfish grants, the farmers' market (Cape Cod's oldest!), and developments at Putnam
Farm.

BARNSTABLE COUNTY HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
The Human Rights Commission assists the county in education and community action
by cultivating an atmosphere of mutual understanding, and by promoting an
understanding of diverse cultures. In addition, the Commission tries to resolve
complaints of discrimination through local mediation. We've collaborated with Nauset
Interfaith in planning forums on healing from violence and addressing poverty.
Working with the Lower Cape J-1 Summer host Housing Program, we organized a party
at Rock Harbor. It allowed local residents and visitors to welcome the foreign workers
who came here for the summer. Hundreds of workers and residents enjoyed
refreshments, steel band music, and each other. I've also been meeting with the Cape
Cod Chamber of Commerce, representatives of the State Department, and the largest
sponsors of these international students — to address Cape-wide issues related to
housing and bike safety.
The Commission sponsors the ongoing "Human Rights Academy" at High Schools,
including Nauset High School. It has been a pleasure to collaborate with our own
Orleans teachers and student leaders at these events.

BOARD OF HEALTH
In August 2013, per the provisions of MGL 111, Section 5K, the Board of Health
received a new supply of Potassium Iodide tablets from the Massachusetts Department
of Public Health. Potassium Iodide is an iodide salt that has been approved by the US
FDA for use as a 'thyroid blocking agent" to protect the thyroid should an emergency at
a nuclear power plant occur that involves the release of radioactive iodide. This new
supply, which has an expiration date of 2020 is to replace the previous supply of
Potassium Iodide received in 2007. If there is a radiation release, residents will be
informed by State and local officials as to what steps should be taken to protect you and
your family, including when to take the Potassium Iodide pills, and whether to evacuate
or shelter in place. The Potassium Iodide distributed by the Health Department
beginning in 2007, which many residents received and have in their homes, have an
expiration date of August 2013. The Board of Health recommends all residents obtain a
new supply of Potassium Iodide from the Health Department office.
In cooperation with the Barnstable County Department of Health and the Environment,
the Board of Health continued its weekly surveillance of the water quality of the town's 5
swimming areas during the summer months. All of the 57 samples analyzed, met the
bacteriological limits for bathing beaches.
In 2013, the Orleans Board of Health continued to contract with the Barnstable County
Department of Health and the Environment for professional services. These additional
inspectional services have assisted the Health Department in handling its workload
more efficiently.
During 2013, the Board of Health was represented on the Board of Water and Sewer
Commissioners, Cape Cod Regional Tobacco Control Council, Cape Cod Rabies Task
Force, Cape and Islands Health Agents Coalition, Cape Cod Hoarding Task Force and
the Orleans Site Plan Review Committee.
The board also administered the town's contract with the Cape Cod Visiting Nurse
Association. Through this contract the VNA provides the town with home visits, health
screenings, wellness education programs, immunization clinics, and communicable
disease follow-up investigations.
Responsibilities of the Health Department staff include: the inspection and regulation of
all permits issued by the Board of Health, response to and investigation of all complaints
pertinent to public health, housing inspections, development and maintenance of the
town's public health emergency response plan, administration of underground storage

CAPE COD COMMISSION
The Cape Cod Commission is the regional land use planning, economic development,
and regulatory agency created in 1990 to serve the citizens and 15 towns of Barnstable
County, Massachusetts. The Commission's mission is "to keep this special place
special," and the agency strives to achieve technical excellence, environmental
protection balanced with economic progress, and regional consensus. The Commission
pursued the following regional priorities for Fiscal Year 2013 (July 1, 2012 to June 30,
2013):
1. Wastewater Management — Related to this priority, this year the Commission
prepared an initial Regional Wastewater Management Plan to serve as a framework
and a set of tools to help begin identifying several water quality solutions for each
watershed across the Cape. The Commission also prepared a guidance document for
the agency's regulatory review of local Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plans
(CWMPs), conducted a Cape-wide buildout analysis to support local and regional
planning, developed the Watershed MVP application for technical experts and
municipalities to explore various potential management scenarios, developed a "green
infrastructure" siting tool as a companion to the Watershed MVP, and pursued pilot
projects to better understand green approaches to treating wastewater and stormwater.
In January 2013, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts directed the Cape Cod
Commission to prepare an update to the 1978 Area-wide Water Quality Management
Plan for Cape Cod, a requirement under Section 208 of the federal Clean Water Act.
The Commission subsequently developed a Program Work Plan for the 208 Update and
has embarked on that work plan. The work plan has an ambitious set of tasks to
complete within three years, the bulk of which is to be completed in FY2014. The
Commission and its consultants are tackling the technical analyses, planning, financial,
and public participation requirements for the 208 Update simultaneously. Stakeholders
are engaged in the program's policy, affordability, financing, planning, and
implementation issues, and in watershed- or basin-specific issues, needs assessments,
evaluation of alternatives, and evaluation of costs. The overall goal is to identify the
most cost-effective, appropriately scaled and phased solutions on a watershed-by-
watershed basis, focusing on the most severely impaired waters and the most easily
and affordably implemented solutions while maximizing the use of existing
infrastructure.
127
2. Strategic Information Office — Related to this priority, this year the Commission
helped establish a governance committee. The Smarter Government Steering
Committee then executed a data-sharing agreement with Cape towns to collaborate on
opportunities for digital regionalization and recommend potential regional solutions for
services and products that increase governmental efficiency and decrease costs to
taxpayers. One example activity is the development of an "ePermitting, Licensing, and
Inspection System" that is under development now. When fully implemented, the online
system will allow Cape Cod municipalities to issue and monitor permits, licenses, and
inspections, with a web-based portal for citizens and contractors. The system uses a
common technology infrastructure and software that can be adopted regionally but
tailored to each town.
3. Community Design Services — Related to this priority, this year the Commission
managed a number of complex planning projects for which the staff provided community
design services to Cape municipalities. Design services can focus on land use,
streetscape, roadway, development patterns, transportation alternatives such as bicycle
and pedestrian amenities, stormwater management, sustainable landscape design, and
more. Design services are frequently integrated through Regional Economic Strategy
Executive Team (RESET) assistance projects, which offer a multi-faceted, multi-
disciplined approach to community and economic development planning.
4. Economic Development — Related to this priority, the Commission continued to
pursue the implementation of priority projects that were identified in the Five-year (2009-
2014) Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). This year the focus
was on wastewater management planning in economic centers, continuation of the
SmarterCape Initiative to promote the use of technology infrastructure that helps the
region's economy evolve from service-based to knowledge-based; and initial work on a
comprehensive Cape Cod Canal area transportation study, which includes considering
major congestion, safety, and community/economic issues associated with the bridges
and the rotaries.
5. Regional Consensus — Related to this priority, the Commission coordinated a
number of ongoing planning and policy-making endeavors striving to achieve
consensus across the region. In addition to the activities mentioned above, the
Commission embarked on a consensus-building update to the Joint Land Use Study
(JLUS) for the Massachusetts Military Reservation and surrounding communities. The
US Department of Defense-funded planning process between the military installation
and the communities of Bourne, Falmouth, Mashpee, and Sandwich aims to ensure that
future community growth and development is consistent with the military training and
operational missions and to help reduce the impacts of military operations on the
adjacent land. The Commission also continued to help Cape communities prepare
Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plans for FEMA certification and potential future funding.
In addition to the Cape-wide regional services and programs that the Cape Cod
Commission pursues each year (the highlights mentioned above), each of the 15
municipalities in Barnstable County receives direct assistance from the Commission that
is tailored to that community's specific needs. Some highlights of Cape Cod
Commission activities specific to the Town of Orleans during Fiscal Year 2013 follow.
128
PLANNING, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, AND TECHNICAL SERVICES
PLANNING AND TECHNICAL STAFF
• The Commission's community design staff remained involved with the Orleans
Village Center Subcommittee in their ongoing work to implement the 2011
Orleans Village Center Streetscape Plan. The staff provided assistance with a
cultural designation application and continues to work with the Massachusetts
Department of Transportation (MassDOT) on furthering components of the
streetscape plan.
• The Commission's planning and technical staff completed a "Living Streets" study of
a 1.7-mile segment of the Route 6A corridor between Orleans and Brewster. The
study identified planning and design approaches for a retrofit to improve safety,
bicycle and pedestrian accommodations, and increase connections between
transportation modes, and to enhance stormwater management along 6A
between Nickerson State Park and Orleans village center. The Commission held
several public meetings and finalized a report with conceptual design plans,
standard details, and plant lists in December 2012. (Online:

comprehensive wastewater management planning. The six-phase CWMP,
approved by the Commission as a DRI in Fall 2011, aims to meet nitrogen-
loading limits for Pleasant Bay, embayments to Cape Cod Bay, and Nauset
Marsh/Town Cove. The CWMP accommodates sewage and sludge handling and
proposes five cluster treatment systems. The DRI approval contained several
conditions for sharing the town's wastewater facility with the neighboring towns of
Brewster and Eastham. Local debate about implementation of the CWMP is
ongoing.
• The Commission's water staff conducted the annual Pond and Lake Stewardship
(PALS) freshwater ponds water-quality sampling snapshot for Bakers, Bolands,
Cedar, Critchett's, Deep, Gould, Ice House, Meadow Bog, Reuben's, Sarah's,
Shoal, Twinings, Uncle Harvey's, Uncle Israel's, and Uncle Seth's ponds, and
Crystal and Pilgrim lakes.

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. The
Collaborative continued to be a forum for towns to obtain information on best practices
and guidance from the experiences of other towns throughout the region.
In January 2013, Barnstable County, acting through the Cape Cod Commission, was
directed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to prepare an update to the 1978
Section 208 Area-Wide Water Quality Management Plan for Cape Cod.
This plan will be a comprehensive Cape-wide review of water quality issues facing the
region, but will focus initially on nutrient management and water quality planning for
Cape Cod's coastal embayments. The Commonwealth provided $3 million to
accomplish this task with the condition that a draft plan be completed within 12 months.
133
A of the work plan is available here:
http-//www.capecodcommission.org/resources/initiatives/208workplan.pdf.
The Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative recently reinstated monthly Governing
Board meetings and reconstituted its Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to provide
input into the 208 Plan Update. The TAC was a key player in the review and shaping of
the technologies matrix that formed the basis for the evaluation of appropriate
management techniques. In addition, a Regulatory, Legal, and Institutional (RLI) Work
Group, with representation from DEP, EPA, the Cape Cod Commission, the Army Corps
of Engineers and other State and Federal partners, will address the potential need for
regulatory reform and other challenges associated with planning and implementation.
Other ad hoc committees will be established, as necessary. The Collaborative, through
its Executive Director, is fully involved and engaged in this effort
The Commonwealth expects the 208 plan and its underlying analysis to reflect the
County's focus on the individual watersheds of each embayment as the most logical
management unit on which to base water quality planning. It is widely expected that
watershed based planning will provide management solutions that are less costly and
require less infrastructure to be built than conventional planning efforts may
recommend.
The ongoing lawsuits between the Conservation Law Foundation, and the United States
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 was expanded and increased in 2013.

CAPE LIGHT COMPACT
"The Cape is fortunate to have an organization such as Cape Light Compact who is
focused on effectively delivering a broad range of energy efficiency services to both
residents and businesses. 1 am very proud to support CLC in all of its efforts to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions." Ken Rowell, Orleans
Cape Light Compact is an intergovernmental organization consisting of the 21 towns and 2
counties on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard. The Compact's mission is to serve our
200,000 customers through the delivery of proven energy efficiency programs, effective
consumer advocacy, competitive electricity supply and green power options.
POWER SUPPLY
Many of the same factors that influenced New England's electricity prices in 2012
persisted in 2013. Most notably, the price of natural gas remained the most important
driver of electricity prices, as the fuel used to produce more than half of the region's
electricity. While New England's consumption of natural gas continues to increase, both
for generating electricity and for heating, as gas displaces oil, 2013 has not seen any
134
new pipeline capacity into the region. As a result, despite relatively low and stable
prices for natural gas in other parts of the country, the gas transmission bottleneck into
New England has continued to push our prices up.
So, what's being planned to help relieve this constraint? First, ISO New England, the
organization charged with operating the region's electrical grid, introduced a "Winter
Reliability Program." During particularly cold periods of winter 2012/2013, there were
periods when, because of the increased use of natural gas for heating, dual-fuel
generators, or facilities that can burn natural gas or oil to generate electricity, were
called on to produce electricity with oil, because of natural gas shortages.
Unfortunately, many of these facilities did not have enough oil on site to operate when
called upon, simply because of the substantial cost of carrying a large oil inventory. The
Winter Reliability Program will pay these dual-fuelled units to stock up on oil, so they
can operate if called upon. In theory, this should help the region avoid a shortage of
natural gas during cold snaps in the 2013/2014 winter.
Over the long term, most are looking to new or expanded natural gas pipelines into New
England as the solution. There are challenges here too however, and the region's
largest pipeline may not be expanded until the end of 2016. As a result, power supply
prices in the first half of 2014 will increase substantially. We expect these prices to
come down somewhat in the second half of 2014, but are not likely to fall below eight
cents per kWh.
In 2013, Cape Light Compact provided energy to residents and businesses in
accordance with a competitive electricity supply contract negotiated by the Compact
with ConEdison Solutions. As of the most recent count, the Compact had 4,368 electric
accounts in the Town of Orleans on its energy supply. Customers have a choice as to
which power supplier they wish to engage, and are able to opt out of, and return to, the
Compact's supply at any time with no charge. The Compact encourages customers to
participate in competitive electric markets, and to be well informed consumers.
CONSUMER ADVOCACY
Since 1997, Cape Light Compact has advocated for the ratepayers of Cape Cod and
Martha's Vineyard at the local, state and federal level. This consumer advocacy has
saved customers over $142 million and the Compact is currently fighting to prevent an
additional $20 million rate increase to residential customers.

Funding for the energy efficiency programs (i.e. energy audits for homes and
businesses, rebates on the purchase of energy efficient appliances and energy

education in our schools) comes from a monthly customer "energy conservation" charge
($0.0025 cents multiplied by the number of kilowatt hours used during the month) that
appears on each customer's electric bill.
Other Cape Light Compact Efforts Include:
• 7 ENERGY STAR® qualified homes were built in the Town of Orleans.
• Cape Light Compact continues to support STEM integrated energy education to
Nauset Middle School and Orleans Elementary School through teacher
workshops, materials, and classroom visits.
• Thirteen Government projects in Orleans were funded $39,455.15 to implement
energy efficiency efforts saving 41,457 kWh. Orleans Government entities
including the Barnstable County Complex, Park Department, Water Treatment
Plant, Public Safety Offices (Police and Fire), Snow Library, Orleans Elementary
School, and the Town Office were several of the projects that received energy
efficiency incentives and technical assistance from Cape Light Compact and CLC
consultants in 2013. The demonstration phase of the LED Streetlights Initiative
was also funded $1,534.50, saving 1,607 kWh annually.

COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
The Town of Orleans adopted the Community Preservation Act (CPA) in May 2005. The
Town receives funding for CPA activities from the 3% local surcharge on real estate
property taxes (surtax) and from a state match of up to 100% of the surtax revenues,
subject to the availability of state funding. CPA funds are to be spent on open space,
community housing, historic preservation and recreation projects which contribute
toward achieving the goals of the Committee's Preservation Plan and the Town's
Comprehensive Plan and which meet the legal requirements of the CPA.
The nine-member Orleans Community Preservation Committee (CPC), created through
state statue and local bylaw, implements the requirements of the CPA, administers the
project selection process and awards funds to eligible projects subject to Town Meeting
approval.
The Committee conducted its eighth full calendar year of business in 2013. Important
activities during the year were:
• As 2013 commenced, there were eleven projects, in various stages of
completion, being monitored by the Committee to insure that they remained
within budget and approved scope and that satisfactory progress was being
made towards completion of the projects.
• At the May Annual Town Meeting, the CP Committee, after careful review,
interviews, and a public hearing, recommended funding for four projects as
follows:
1. Affordable Housing Development Support Funds - $5,000
2. Eldredge Park Irrigation Well - $112,000
3. Orleans Historical Society Meeting House Storm Window Replacement - $9,450
4. Old Firehouse Renovation Feasibility Study - $68,000
The Town Meeting followed the CPC recommendations and, through Article 4,
approved $497,729 to pay interest and principle on open space debt, $78,000 as
reserves for community housing, $5,550 as reserves for historic resources, $25,000 for
FY '14 Committee expenses and $194,450 for the four projects, resulting in a total CPA
Program Budget of$800,729.
• During 2013, four projects were completed.
• As 2014 commences, there are eleven on-going projects which continue to be
monitored by the Committee. There are also a record fourteen applications for
projects seeking funding in the next fiscal year.
While the state match under the CPA remains at much less than 100% of local surtax
revenues, legislation passed in 2012 provided some additional funding in 2013.
However, it is far from certain that this funding, which requires new legislation and which
was tied to the state having a surplus at the end of the fiscal year, will continue in the
future. In the meantime, the Community Preservation Committee remains committed to
its support, within the available funding, of projects that will preserve the character and
beauty of the Town of Orleans in the areas of open space, community housing, historic
preservation and recreation.

CONSERVATION COMMISSION
The Conservation Commission implements the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act
and the Orleans Wetland Protection Bylaw. The Commission reviews and approves
applications for projects affecting any of the Town's wetland resource areas and manages
the Town's Conservation Areas.
Reviewing and Approving Wetland Projects
Any activity that alters a wetland resource area or the 100 foot buffer to the resource
area, including filling, construction, renovation, pruning, removing or planting vegetation,
must be filed with the Conservation Commission prior to initiation. Wetland resource
areas encompass wetland vegetation, coastal banks, dunes, land subject to coastal
storm flowage and areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC) among others. In
2013, the Conservation Commission heard approximately 70 Notices of Intent, 50 other
filings including Certificates of Compliance, Amended Orders, and Requests for
Determination, and reviewed and completed 160 Administrative Reviews.
Management of Open Space Areas
The Orleans Conservation Commission is responsible for the management of the Town's
Conservation Areas. Most of these areas are available to the public and offer passive
recreational opportunities with trails and scenic views. In 2013, the Conservation
Commission continued to support the Department of Public Works Natural Resources
efforts to improve and manage Town conservation areas.
Meeting Schedule
The Conservation Commission meets in the mornings each Tuesday of every month. New
hearings are advertised the first and third weeks of the month.
A Special Thanks
The Commission would like to extend its gratitude to past Commissioners Jamie Balliett
and Philips Marshall. Their dedicated volunteer service and hard work helped preserve
and enhance Conservation and Wetland interests throughout Orleans.

Judith Bruce, Chairwoman
COUNCIL ON AGING
This year the Orleans Council on Aging adopted an updated mission to, "enhance the
quality of life for older adults and caregivers in our community". To chart our course we
established the following guidelines for accomplishing our mission:
• Identify the needs of older adults and caregivers in our community and develop,
implement and promote programs and services which meet established needs
• Promote healthy aging and mental and physical well-being
• Serve as a supportive family resource for older adults and caregivers
• Reach out to those who are vulnerable and disadvantaged
• Advocate for older adults and caregivers
• Educate and enlist the support and participation of the community regarding aging
issues
138
• Provide a warm, enriching environment and meaningful experiences and
opportunities for older adults
In 2013, along with our regular programs and services, we challenged ourselves to
provide new programming to reach a broader segment of seniors. We hosted new
educational programs which included gardening, cultural, craft, and environmental
programs which brought more seniors into the Senior Center. We expanded our
Roadrunner transportation program to include rides to local medical appointments and
created the new Orleans FISH program which utilizes volunteers to take seniors to
medical appointments as far away as Hyannis. Home delivery of library materials
became possible through our collaboration with Snow Library. A new Center Cafe
luncheon program was implemented which serves creative and healthy meals to the
public once a week. Health and wellness was promoted through our new SMILE dental
program, a new Tai Chi class focused on promoting balance and stability, a day of
mindfulness, and a collaborative chronic disease self-management series. A new
monthly Lower Cape LGBT Seniors Group was created with grant funding obtained
from the GALE Fund. We supported caregivers with workshops on life's transitions and
mourning, as well as offering new support groups. We honored our Veterans with a
special luncheon program. We even held a men's cooking series!
It also became clear this year that we needed to attend to the needs of a building which
is no longer new. Extensive repairs were made to multiple HVAC systems in the Senior
Center, new electronic doors were installed, repairs were made to the irrigation system,
roofing and floor leaks were repaired, and safety improvements were made to the
meditation path in the garden. In addition, the Friends of the COA generously provided
a new freezer for our kitchen which supports our Soup-n-Sandwich, Day Center, and
Cafe programs.
Our many programs and services would not be possible without the many volunteers
who support our efforts. Last year 236 volunteers provided 7,038 hours making a
difference in the lives of their neighbors by driving neighbors in need to medical
appointments, reading to those who are visually impaired, helping raise funds to support
our transportation program, visiting with neighbors who are isolated and lonely, knitting
hats and mittens for children from disadvantaged homes, assisting with fuel assistance
applications, providing counsel to those who cannot manage the maze of health
insurance information, and providing support for many Senior Center activities.
Our motto this year has been, "You are an essential piece of the puzzle." We embrace
the fact that it takes a collaboration of staff, volunteers, board members, community
partnerships, and involved citizens to make the Orleans Council on Aging a valuable
resource in our Town and we wish to thank everyone for their tremendous support
during 2013.

Judi Wilson, Executive Director

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
I hope everyone realizes we have changed the decades old name of this department
from Civil Defense to a more up to date Emergency Management. This reflects a more
accurate description of our activities as we operate during weather, national and
security emergencies. We are also lucky to have our "Code Red" reverse 911 system.
Our contract now covers unlimited message capabilities so we can inform Orleans as
many times as is needed.
I continue to be an active participant in the Barnstable County REPC. We support and
are involved with the regional sheltering program during storm events. Our closest
shelter in located at Nauset Regional high School. When the shelter is stood up it also
included a pet component. If you think you are in a position where you need sheltering
you should travel to the shelters early rather than later.
We were lucky last year to find a recent used demo model of the sign board used on
Rte 6 and we purchased it for the Town's use rather than continuing to rent one. It was
used all summer for Beach messages and during the fall for the continued road work
being done around town.
Chief MacDonald and I want to thank our citizens for their patience, our employees for
the many long hours the work in these storms, and our Board of Selectmen for the
confidence shown in turning our town over to the Emergency Managers.
Respectfully submitted,
Chief William P. Quinn Jr., Orleans Emergency Management Director
FINANCE COMMITTEE
On behalf of the Orleans Finance Committee, I am pleased to submit to Orleans citizens
the Committee's annual report on its activities during calendar year 2013. The Finance
Committee, comprised of nine members appointed by the Town Moderator, is charged
under the Orleans Town Charter with independently examining and analyzing the
financial affairs of Town government, including proposed budgets, Capital Improvement
Plans, and other proposals having significant financial impact to citizens.
In fulfilling its obligations under the Charter, the Committee conducted Fiscal Year 2014
budget reviews in meetings and consultations with Town officials. The Finance
Committee met jointly with the Board of Selectmen an unprecedented 10 times between
January and the May Town Meeting. In addition to four Charter-mandated public
hearings for the Town Budget and the Capital Improvements Plan, the two bodies
convened in joint sessions for reviews of six departmental budgets that comprise the
majority of Town spending, including in a special joint session to review the Nauset
Regional School District, Orleans Elementary School, and Cape Cod Regional
Technical School Fiscal Year 2014 proposed budgets. These collaborative budget
review meetings eliminated duplication of the time town and school officials were
required to devote to this process, and, most important, provided the members of the
Finance Committee and the Board the benefit of each other's knowledge and
experience in evaluating departmental budgets.
140
In addition, the Committee routinely monitored meetings of Town boards, committees,
and departments whose actions have fiscal implications for the Town. For the second
year, the Committee met with the Orleans Elementary School Committee prior to the
start of department budget reviews to hear from Committee members on their funding
concerns and priorities for the next fiscal year. The Committee also held meetings with
the Orleans Deputy Fire Chief to review the Fire Department's experience with the
beach EMT program implemented for the Summer of 2013 and with the Orleans Chief
of Police on that Department's long-term strategic planning initiative.
The Finance Committee devoted considerable time and effort to the preparation of its
annual report on the current and future fiscal outlook for the Town. That report,
published in the 2013 Warrant for the Annual and Special Town Meetings, highlighted
the findings of the Committee's analysis of proposed budgets, the Capital Improvement
Plan, and other Town financial proposals. The report presented recommendations for
the challenges that the Committee believes the Town must address to sustain the future
financial health of our community, chief among these, the implications of demographic
changes on the needs of Orleans citizens for public services in the future. This year the
issue of the Town's changing demographics was the centerpiece of its report, with the
Committee asserting that this issue is the number one risk to the long-term economic
health of Orleans and its viability as a community and recommending that a concerted
effort be made to understand and address the implications of these demographic
changes on our community. In the ensuing months, the Finance Committee has had the
opportunity to share its views on this topic with the Orleans Planning Board and has
begun to explore further the fiscal implications of demographic changes on the Town of
Orleans.
Throughout the past year, the Committee continued to focus on improving its level of
understanding of municipal finance and the roles, responsibilities, and operations of
Town Departments and key committees as they impact Town finances and to advance
its view that the budget development process should be approached as an opportunity
to revaluate and revise spending goals, objectives, and strategies and improve fiscal
administration. For the second consecutive year, the Committee produced an analysis
of authorized, but unused, funds returned to the general fund by Town Departments.
That analysis was reviewed by the Town Administrator and Town Finance Director who
subsequently shared that report with Town Department heads for their consideration in
developing their respective FY 2015 budget requests. Consistent with its goal of
achieving greater transparency and consistency of the Town budgeting process, the
Committee has been working with the Town Administrator and Town Finance Director
on developing better analytical tools to apply to that process. The Committee believes
that these tools, once implemented, will provide the Selectmen and Town leadership a
better means to analyze departmental budget development and Town finances as a
whole, including long-term capital planning.
The Committee's commitments to support long-term planning to meet future challenges
and near-term actions to address immediate priorities and improve Town government
services will continue to guide the Committee's deliberations in its review of the Town's
Respectfully submitted,
Gwen A. Holden Kelly, Chairman

FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT
2013 has proved another busy year for us. Weather has played havoc with the Cape
also. For the first time I can remember we had to cancel fireworks entirely for July 4 th
We began a new program this year of staffing two EMTs (on weekends) and one EMT
during the rest of the week at Nauset Beach to better provide immediate triage and
treatment of injuries. Two of our call firefighters were given the seasonal positions and
performed well with the Beach staff and our fulltime fire department staff.
In late July FF Matt Andre resigned as of September 2nd for personal reasons after
fourteen years with us. FF Kevin Delude resigned as of November 2nd to take a job with
COMM FD. We wish them both well in the future. As a result we were short staffed
again for a few months until FF Ryan McGrath and FF Brandon Henderson were hired
to fill the vacancies.

Again this year our staff answered many back to back EMS calls in our ambulances.
21.2% of our calls happened before we could complete the first call. On our best day we
can still only fully staff one ambulance without calling for more staff. This has become
an increasing trend for several years costing more in overtime than is budgeted. My
thanks to a very dedicated staff for coming back to help all the time and during all the
year.
Plans are that on May 16th I will retire from the Orleans Fire Department. I worked for
four years as a call firefighter and in 1976 1 was hired fulltime. This will total over forty
years in the best job working with the best people anywhere. Many thanks to my staff,
Board of Selectmen, Town Administrator, Town Departments and Committees and most
of all to our citizens for your support during busy times and lean times. Town meeting
has always provided everything we needed to provide the best care anywhere. It has
been a privilege to serve the Town.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION COMMITTEE
We are pleased to provide this annual message on behalf of the Orleans Fourth of July
Celebration Committee.
*The 2013 Orleans Fourth of July Celebration activities were set to begin with a
Fireworks display on Monday, July 1, 2013. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate
this year for the scheduled or rain date and the Fireworks had to be cancelled. The
Friends of the Fourth, the private organization that has raised money since 2004, to fully
fund the Orleans Fireworks, promises a bigger and better show next year — weather
permitting!
*The 4th of July Parade stepped off from Eldredge Park Way at 10:00 am Thursday, July
4, 2013. This year's Parade had a great crowd and the weather cooperated. The theme
of the parade was 50 States to Celebrate created by Michela Galazzi, a student at the
Orleans Elementary School. Michela's slogan won 1St Prize in the Orleans Elementary
School Parade Theme Contest.
*Our Grand Marshals this year were Paul and Margie Fulcher. Paul's work as Orleans
Head of Parks and Beaches for almost 40 years has helped to make our Town the
beautiful place that it is. Margie Fulcher served on the Orleans Elementary and Nauset
Regional School Committees as well as on the Orleans Selectboard for a total of over
30 years. The time and energy that they both have given in support of the Town of
Orleans is greatly appreciated. We were also pleased to have the Orleans Citizen of
the Year, Bonnie Snow, join our Parade.
*The Parade had a few new entrants as well as some old favorites. Seventy contingents
participated including businesses, families, antique cars, and non-profits. In addition, we
had military, police, and fire marching units, dignitaries and fabulous bands. What a
great time for both those in the Parade and watching. 2013 Parade Winners — Business,
1St The Farm, 2nd Elaine Chase Dancers, 3rd Orleans Yacht Club. Non-Profits, 1st
Orleans Pond Coalition, 2nd Namequoit Sailing, 3rd Cub Scouts, Orleans Pack 72.
Family Awards, 1St Stewart Family, 2nd Ferraro Family, 3rd Birdsall Family.
143
* A big "Thank You" to all of the businesses that supported us with vehicles, drivers and
supplies. Your donations are crucial to our Parade's success. Many thanks also for the
hard work of the Orleans Police, Fire, and Highway Departments. It is much
appreciated.
* Funds Are Short The Committee appreciates that Town Meeting appropriated up to
$8000 to support the 2013 Parade. To help offset our use of these funds, we continued
this year with our, now annual parade event, volunteers walking along with the Parade,
requesting donations. There is also a link on the Town's website for those who want to
send a monetary contribution, directed to the 4t" of July Gift Fund. We are so pleased
that the Parade collection, and the direct donations, now total $3299.42. Thank you. We
will continue to have volunteers walking along with the Parade and the link on the
Town's website remains active.
* We are looking forward to the 2014 Fourth of July activities. The Fireworks will be
displayed over Rock Harbor, at dusk, on Saturday, July 5, 2014 (rain date of
Sunday, July 6th). The Parade will step off on Friday, July 4, 2014, at 10:OOam
from Eldredge Park Way.
Please consider joining the Orleans Fourth of July Committee

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
The Highway Department is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of
approximately 54 miles of roadway and roadsides, the repair and maintenance of
related stormwater drainage systems and the repair and maintenance of related
infrastructure. The Highway Department is also expected to manage Water Quality
Stormwater Improvement projects. The department is also responsible for the repair
and maintenance of over 50 town vehicles, heavy equipment and tools. The Highway
Department also provides labor and/or equipment to support activities of the Parks
Department and the Harbormaster.
The major projects managed by the department in 2013 include the following:
Road Improvements:
•Partial reclamation and final paving of Tar Kiln Road.
•Partial reclamation and paving of portion of Tonset Road.
•Pavement milling and resurfacing of Hopkins Road.
•Patching of sections of Tonset Road and a section of School Road
•The department paved a deteriorated portion of the Towns parking lot on Main
Street adjacent to the bike trail.
Drainage:
• Improvements were made to drainage systems on Gibson Road, Brick Hill
Road, Portanimicut Road and Monument Road.
Water Quality Improvements:
• Water Quality Drainage Improvements were completed on Overland Way and
Tar Kiln Road which resulted in a reduction or elimination of direct stormwater
discharge to water bodies.
144
Safety Improvements:
• The department replaced non-compliant deteriorated roadside guardrails on
Monument Road near the Crystal Lake Beach access, and on Bakers Pond
Road.
Other Projects:
• In 2012 the department developed a scope of work for a Preliminary Town-
wide Stormwater Assessment. The intent of this Assessment is to
preliminarily identify outfalls with the highest potential pollutant discharges.
The Assessment will prioritize the outfalls for remediation and provide a
course of action and cost estimates to remediate the outfalls to reduce or
eliminate pollutant discharges. The Assessment will also identify further
actions necessary to evaluate and address all stormwater discharges in the
next Phase of a Town-wide Stormwater Assessment. The Preliminary
Assessment was completed in 2013.
• The department completed the Roadway Condition Assessment of the Town
owned roads for the update of our Pavement Management Program. The
update is expected to be completed in early 2014.
• In 2013, the department continued data collection for the development of a
GIS-based sign inventory program. The department contracted with a
consultant to develop a GIS based sign inventory program that will allow the
department to better manage and maintain the extensive inventory of town
owned signs. The GIS database was completed in 2013. The program will be
incorporated into the Towns GIS database. The program assists in
management of our sign replacements to insure that we maintain our signage
for the safety of drivers and for compliance with current and future
regulations.
• The department continued to maintain and repair the town roadways and road
edge areas. Significant time and effort was spent addressing potholes,
patching areas of deteriorated pavement, repairing and improving berms and
curbing, repairing drainage infrastructure, roadside brush cutback and road
side mowing.
• The department continued to maintain the town drainage system. This work
involves the maintenance of over 900 catch basins and leaching pits. The
department removed 104 tons of material from drainage structures. It should
be noted that the material generated from cleaning the drainage system is a
regulated waste material by the Department of Environmental Protection and
its disposal must be permitted. The Highway Department has secured a
permit to construct a vegetative berm at an area on the landfill site. The
Highway Department manages this material. The department was granted
approval from MassDEP that will provide ten or more years of disposal
capacity for these materials. The department currently maintains 20
stormwater remediation systems.
145
• The Department swept up 796 tons of sand and debris from the roadways
and parking lots in 2013. The handling of the street sweepings is also
regulated by the Department of Environmental Protection. The Highway
Department has secured a permit to construct "sight berms" with the street
sweepings in locations around the landfill cap.
• The Department continued to provide repair and maintenance services to the
Town's vehicular and heavy equipment fleet. This involves over 50 vehicles
and pieces of heavy equipment, construction tools and various hand tools.
In April 2013, the Departments welcomed Tom Daley as our Public Works and Natural
Resources Director.
During winter operations the Highway Department is responsible for preventing and
addressing icing conditions and the clearing snow from roadways, town facility lots,
town parking lots, the Nauset Regional Middle School, the Orleans Elementary School
and seven miles of town owned and state owned sidewalks.
In 2013 the department responded to 15 recorded winter storm events. Many of these
storms were of long duration requiring extended hours for treating the roads.
Approximately 1,135 tons of sand/salt mix was used over the winter.
In addition to the winter storm events, in February, staff from the Highway Department,
the Water Department, and the Parks and Beaches Department were front line
responders to Winter Storm Nemo. The response last several days. The crews were
faced with responding to a major winter snow storm while also dealing with downed
trees and keeping the roads clear for emergency access during the storm and the
extensive clean-up after the storm event.
My sincere gratitude goes to all the staff from the Highway Department, Transfer Station
the Parks and Beaches Department and Water Department for their dedication and
support in responding to storms throughout the winter.
The Department acts as the Town's representative on the Cape Cod Joint Traffic
Committee and the Organization of SEMASS Communities. The Department also sits
on the Site Plan Review Committee and the Parking and Traffic Study Committee.
Transfer Station:
The Transfer Station is responsible for the management and disposal of the Solid
Waste generated by the Town. Solid Waste and other materials that were collected and
passed through the Transfer Station in 2012 are shown in the following table. Quantities
from 2011 are included for comparison.

In 2012, the Transfer Station also collected and processed: paint (estimated 575
gallons), waste oil (885 gallons), used oil filters (1 drum), gasoline (220 gallons), and
antifreeze (125 gallons).
The Transfer Station sponsored the Household Hazardous Waste Collection event
again in 2013. A summary of the materials collected during the event is available at the
Transfer Station or on the Town website.
The Transfer Station generated the following revenue in 2013 (not including sticker
sales): Gate Collections: $78,153, Batteries: $515, Metals: $9944, Waste Oil: $293.
In 2013, the Department also continued to operate and maintain the Landfill Methane
Gas Collection system. The system consists of a series of wells and piping connected to
a flare system that burns the Methane gas being produced by the rubbish under the
Landfill Cap. A significant amount of time, effort and funding is required for this task.
The department is responsible for the maintenance of the Landfill Cap and the
monitoring of the methane gas produced by the trash under the cap and the monitoring
of the groundwater around the perimeter of the cap.
The staff of the Transfer Station is available to discuss any questions or comments
concerning solid waste disposal issues.
Tree Department:
The Tree Department's main goal is to protect the Town's Urban Forest. The duties and
responsibilities associated with roadside trimming, tree planting and tree maintenance
are year-round tasks. The Department continues to focus on a proactive approach to
roadside cutback work to remove and regain control over unwanted vegetation. We
identify appropriate plants in the right locations and encourage them. New trees and
shrubs are introduced into areas that are suitable. Then pruning, watering, weeding
and monitoring is done to maximize the health of the system.

Orleans has a number of mature American elm trees that have survived the Dutch Elm
disease. These trees require annual maintenance in the form of fungicide injections and
careful pruning to improve the long term survival of these heirloom trees. Tracking
existing and introduced trees requires a suitable long term management plan. The first
step is to complete the town-wide tree inventory. At present over 7000 trees have been
assessed and are available on the Orleans GIS for planning and mapping purposes. We
now have the means to utilize the database in the field and use inventory for integration
of a Vegetation Management Plan. This year the tree data was converted to the recently
released i-Tree Version 5. This is state of the art software from the USDA forest service.
The new capabilities provide urban forestry and benefits assessment tools.
Other Notable accomplishments:
• The Town of Orleans received the Tree City USA Award from the
Massachusetts DCR Urban and Community Forestry Program. This is the 16th
consecutive year that we have received this prestigious award.
• Celebrated Arbor Day on April 26th
• Orleans Green Week, a weeklong service project, which focused on
environmental stewardship within the community. AmeriCorps members,
volunteers and school groups worked on a variety of OCT land to remove
invasive plant species, replant native species and maintain the trusts walking
trails. At the middle school, students participated in programs which
emphasized the importance of environmental responsibility, and students
installed new native trees and shrubs on the school grounds.
• The department was awarded an AmeriCorps intern two days a week for one
year. This is the 7th intern the Tree Department has accepted from
AmeriCorps Cape Cod. This individual will continue to work on Tree Inventory
and assist with town projects.
• The Tree Department continued coordination with the AmeriCorps volunteer
group program. Some of the work includes: Orleans Middle School, Uncle
Harvey's Pond, Sea Call Farm and the Orleans Watershed week long project.
• NSTAR returned and assisted the Tree Department with a town wide hazardous
tree removal initiative. They have begun effort to eliminate unhealthy trees and
provide money for replacements.
• AmeriCorps has now worked over 14,000 hours with the Tree Warden.
• The Tree Warden continues to work with the Orleans Community Partnership
on the Village Center. This year we planted 7 Red maple trees at "Theresa's
Way„
I would like to extend my gratitude to the staff of these departments.

HISTORICAL COMMISSION
James Hadley, Chair (retired in June), Ann Sinclair, acting chair and secretary.
Members: Bonnie Snow (retired in June), Dennis Dowd (retired in September),
Richard Besciak, Sarah Bartholomew, and Dorothy Bowmer. New Members:
Bryant Besse (appointed in July), Bill Wibel and Ron Petersen (both appointed
in September).
The Commission met on five occasions during the year to conduct business.
1. One public hearing was held in conformance with Chapter 106 of the Code
of the Town of Orleans: the Demolition of Historic Structures By-Law. The sub-
ject and result of this meeting is as follows:
October 15
Public hearing held as a result of a request from Jim Cooley for demolition of two ells
which are later additions to his 1820 house. After a site visit, the Commission
determined that the ells were not "preferably-preserved historic structures." Therefore, a
demolition permit may be issued.
Todd Thayer applied for a demolition permit for 20 South Orleans Road. The wrong
address was put on the application. Therefore, the Historical Commission was not
informed in time to meet the 45 day hearing requirement. Therefore, the Building
Commissioner issued a demolition permit.
2. Five regular meetings were held. Summaries of those meetings are as follows:
February 13
The Commission approved Trevor Kurz to be an appropriate party to restore the historic
house at 31 Namskaket Road.
The Commission voted that the old firehouse on Main Street is an historic structure
therefore eligible for CPC funding. They also decided that a historic structure report is
needed before going ahead with architectural plans.
The Commission voted to uphold a warrant article to designate the Orleans Historical
Commission to monitor preservation easements granted to the town.
M av 17
The Commission will get a list of all buildings with preservation easements
on them. There was discussion on the proposed Main Street Historic District.
June 20
Ann Sinclair was elected temporary chair upon the resignation of Jim Hadley.
The one year demolition delay is up on June 24 for the house owned by Comcast.
There was discussion of the house owned by the Catholic Diocese on the corner of Rt.
26 and Rt. 6A. It is being neglected and the Commission wants to speak with the owner.
(This was not done because Mike Ford said the State has not approved the "Demolition
by Neglect" by-law.)
149
The Congregational church, on which the town holds an easement, was about to put on
a new roof. The project should be monitored by the Commission, however they have
not been notified that they are responsible for this yet.
September 20
The Commission has been notified that they are to perform a Section 106 Review for
intersection improvements to Main Street at Route 6A and South Orleans Road at Rt.
6A. They will provide the Commission with more information as the project proceeds.
The four projects which received funding from Community Preservation Funds have not
had the restrictions recorder in the Barnstable County Register of Deeds or listed with
the Massachusetts Historical Commission. Ann Sinclair will talk to Mike Ford about this.
Brian Harrison, Building Commissioner, verified to Trevor Kurz that he had not received
a demolition permit for the middle section of the house on the corner of Tonset Road
and Main Street.

HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE
The Human Services Committee reviews applications requesting town funding from
nonprofit human service organizations who serve only Orleans residents or who include
Orleans residents as their clients. There are many agencies that serve different needs
of Orleans residents. The committee is comprised of five members who review the
applications and verify their direct service to the residents of Orleans. They present their
recommendations to the Board of Selectmen. If approved by the Board the funding
requests are brought to the voters at the Annual Town Meeting for approval.
In 2013 these agencies received the following amounts:
Aids Support Group of Cape Cod $ 2,000.00
Capabilities $ 5,827.00
Cape Cod Child Development $ 2,500.00
Cape Cod Children's Place $ 2,500.00

MARINE AND FRESH WATER QUALITY TASK FORCE
The Task Force and many citizen volunteers continued water quality monitoring in
Orleans marine embayments and freshwater lakes and ponds for the 13th year. Five
new locations were added by the Pleasant Bay Alliance to provide a more
comprehensive look at present conditions in the Pleasant Bay. Summer sampling of
embayments included 20 locations on Cape Cod Bay, Nauset estuary, and Orleans'
portion of Pleasant Bay. Forty-three volunteers collected a total of 509 samples on five
sampling days. Nitrogen from septic systems continues to stress the marine
environment resulting in unhealthy levels of algae growth and low dissolved oxygen
levels particularly in terminal salt ponds and enclosed embayments.
The freshwater lake and pond monitoring continued with technical and analytical
support from PALS (Pond and Lake Stewardship) project of the Cape Cod Commission
and SMAST*. Freshwater pond samples were collected from 17 ponds in spring and
late summer. Overall, freshwater pond water quality continues to decline. Most do not
meet the state standards for clarity and dissolved oxygen during the summer. This
year's warm summer with very little rainfall exacerbated conditions.
A Task Force representative worked on the town-wide stormwater assessment team to
identify all outfalls and recommend areas for remediation to reduce the flow of nutrients
into ponds and estuaries.
As a result of recommendations from the 2012 SMAST* study of Cedar Pond and from
public input, a management plan was written and adopted by the BOS. The goal is to
re-establish a healthy pond ecosystem that meets state standards for water quality.
The plan includes regulation of water level, salinity, and fish passage; reduction of
nutrient input, survey of adjacent Atlantic white cedars; and continued monitoring as
management activities take place. Cedar Pond showed stress and large amounts algae
again this summer. Double-crested cormorants continue to roost on NSTAR wires
spanning the pond and contribute excess nutrients to the pond. Roosting birds
exceeded 600 per night in late summer and fall.
We thank the volunteers who collected data on our ponds and estuaries this year.
Volunteers are urgently needed each summer to carry out this monitoring. Those willing
to walk along a beach or take samples from a boat or canoe are needed during the
summer. Training is provided. Please leave your contact information with the Planning
Department at Town Hall (508-240-3700 x435).

NAUSET REGIONAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The Nauset Schools continue to be successful because of the support from our
communities and the commitment we share for academic excellence. Nauset continues
to rank as one of the best districts in Massachusetts and has received several
recognitions for academic achievement and excellence. It is my belief that the life blood
that runs through these schools is the teachers and the staff of the Nauset Region. My
opinion is that the teachers and staff are the main reason our District has done well in
the past is doing well in the present and will continue to outperform in the future.
In keeping with the Nauset standards, a big initiative to upgrade Technology throughout
the district is taking place and a five year Technology Plan has been created to achieve
our goals in making our students' successful as they move through the system and out
into the world. Schools have incorporated Smart Boards into their classrooms which
has enhanced student learning, a computer science program is being established,
Robotics courses continue, and infrastructure at our buildings has been updated to
include WIFI. Again, our communities have always supported our initiatives to improve
student learning/achievement and we trust our citizens will support this endeavor.
Many capital projects are underway and have been completed. We thank you for your
continued support to keep our facilities in good working condition.
We continue to work with our local officials and keep them apprised of what is
happening in our schools. Communication has been fluent and in the best interest of our
students. Presently, Principal Conrad is working with the Town of Eastham to apply for
a CPC grant to repair the tennis courts at Nauset High School for the students as well
as for the recreation department in the town of Eastham.
A typical sign of generosity and community spirit is the funds that have been raised for
building of a greenhouse at the Middle School. This is a very ambitious project but the
community has jumped in to support this wonderful learning lab for our students. Many
community organizations and individuals have made substantial donations and have
been involved in the planning. Again, just another example of the great communities in
which we live.
Nauset Regional Middle School, with the overwhelming support from the community
supported the hiring of a school resource officer. The resource officer has proven to be
a wonderful presence at the school to assist in prevention of bullying, building security,
and is also a confidant and role model for students.
The Nauset High School Music Department received the Highest Overall Program
Award in at the National Festival of Music in Atlanta Georgia.
Foreign students from China, France and Belgium are now attending Nauset HS.
The Administration and the Police Chiefs have worked tirelessly in creating a
comprehensive security plan for the district and we thank them for efforts in keeping our
students safe.
Greg O'Brien, Nauset Regional School Committee member retired from the committee
after 18 years of service to the district. Marie Enochty also retired from the Committee
after 15 years of service and Jon Porteus is retiring from the Committee after six years
of service to our district. We thank these dedicated individuals for keeping the best
interests of students in the forefront and promoting excellence in education.

OLD KING'S HIGHWAY REGIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMITTEE
The Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Committee, acting under
Massachusetts General Law Chapter 470, Acts of 1973, as amended by Chapter 278
and 845, Acts of 1975, reviews applications of residents of the district for
appropriateness.
The Committee met ten times in 2013; there was no meetings in February or October as
no applications were submitted. Eleven (11) Certificates of Exemption were approved,
two were denied. Twenty-three (23) Certificates of Appropriateness were approved.
The Committee had one open seat all year long. At the November election, Gary Lane
was re-elected to a four-year seat effective January 1, 2014.

Paul Leach, Chairman
OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
In 2013, the Open Space Committee partnered with the Compact of Conservation
Trusts and the Orleans Conservation Trust to protect an additional 3.58 acres of land
located in Orleans. This land was protected from future development at no cost to the
Town through the use of Conservation Restrictions.
The major joint effort in 2013 was the continuing work to acquire or protect developable
lots on the shores of Twinings Pond in South Orleans. Protection of this unique pond
has been underway for over 20 years. This year saw the establishment of a 1.48 acre
Conservation Restriction. This adds to the existing 30 acres of protected land around
Twinings Pond. The Town has benefited from generosity that spans two generations of
a family.
Additionally, two other Conservation Restrictions were put in place, one on Miner Lane
in East Orleans, the other on Morgan's Way in South Orleans.
The Orleans Comprehensive Plan charges the Committee with the primary task of
helping to preserve 400 or more acres "using Land Bank and (Town) budget
appropriated funding, plus private funding." Since the formulation of that objective in
1999, over 329.81 acres of land have been protected, or 82% of the 20-year goal.
The Committee has focused on achieving the 400-acre goal in the most cost effective
way possible. Partnerships, grants and inter municipal agreements have been used to
our advantage. We remain focused on achieving the Town goal in a timely manner.

PERSONNEL ADVISORY BOARD
The Personnel Advisory Board is responsible for holding a public hearing on any
amendments to the Orleans Personnel Bylaw that will come before the voters at Town
Meeting, including changes to the classification and compensation plans of employees
covered under the Personnel Bylaw. The Board may also provide assistance with salary
and benefits studies and mediate non-union employee grievances.
The Board held a public hearing on May 2, 2013 to review proposed amendments to the
Personnel Bylaw for consideration at the May Special Town Meeting. Article 3 added
the new positions of Director of Public Works and Natural Resources and Buildings and
Facilities Manager to the FY13 classification/ compensation plan. It also added the day
after Thanksgiving as a paid holiday and provided for general wage increases in FY12
and FY13 consistent with Town collective bargaining agreements.
The public hearing also addressed Article 24 of the Annual Town Meeting, which
provided for a general wage increase in FY14 for non-union employees consistent with
collective bargaining agreements. The Board voted 2-0-0 to recommend both articles,
157
which were subsequently approved by the voters on May 14. On July 12 the Board held
a hearing with regard to a non-union employee grievance.
In 2013 the members of the Personnel Advisory Board were Chairman Rolf Soderstrom,
Kenneth Rowell, and Kevin Galligan. Ex-officio member was Myra Suchenicz, Assistant
Town Administrator.

PLANNING BOARD
According to the Orleans Home Rule Charter, "the Planning Board shall be responsible
for the development and periodic updating of an official town plan" to "ensure that
Orleans will continue as a desirable town in which to live and visit in the future."
In 2013, the Planning Board undertook this charge by working at state, regional, and
local levels. Notable state outreach included facilitating designation of the Village Center
Cultural District by the MA Cultural Council and working with Mass DOT on intersection
improvement projects; regional collaboration involved dialogue with the Cape Cod
Commission and the APCC among many others; local cooperation included interfaces
with other town bodies, community organizations, and actions on applications for
subdivisions and zoning changes
The Planning Board held sixteen meetings and approved two Preliminary Subdivision
Plans, three Definitive Subdivision Plans, and endorsed fourteen Approval Not Required
Plans. One public hearing was held for the rimming or removal of trees; the request was
approved. The Board approved a new subdivision road named Bevan Way. The Board
also provided advisory opinions to the Building Commissioner to aid in the interpretation
of the Zoning Bylaw.
The Planning Board developed four zoning amendments which were approved by the
Town Meeting. The definition of Buildable Upland was amended to exclude coastal
banks and dunes. A new definition of Dog Kennel was approved. The zoning section on
Nonconforming Structures was amended to be consistent with recent case law. Lastly,
the Town Meeting adopted a one-year moratorium on Medical Marijuana facilities to
allow the Planning Board sufficient time to study the issue. The Planning Board also
developed a Fertilizer Nitrogen Control bylaw that was approved by the Town Meeting.
Planning Board members represent the Board by serving on other boards/committees-
John Fallender and Chip Bechtold on the Zoning Bylaw Task Force; John Fallender on
the Orleans Community Partnership board; Kenneth McKusick on the Board of Water &
Sewer Commissioners; Paul McNulty on the Community Preservation Committee, and
Steve Bornemeier on the Open Space Committee.

PLEASANT BAY ALLIANCE
The Pleasant Bay Alliance is an organization of the Towns of Orleans, Chatham, 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 2013
are listed below. More information is available at www.pleasantbay.org.
The Pleasant Bay Resource Management Plan is updated by the Alliance every five
years. The third five-year update was developed in 2013 with input from local and
regional resource managers and interested citizens. The 2013 Update contains
recommendations in the areas of biodiversity and habitat protection, wetlands
protection, fisheries management, watershed planning, coastal processes and
structures, navigation safety, public access and historic resources. The 2013 Update
was adopted by Town Meeting in each of the four Alliance towns and was then sent to
the state Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs for approval.
The Pleasant Bay Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Program completed its 14th
monitoring season in 2013. Trained volunteers collected samples at more than 20
159
locations throughout the Bay, and a 90% sample recovery rate was recorded. Data from
the monitoring program are used by the towns to guide nutrient management planning.
Public education activities included a Summer Speaker Series featuring experts on
resource management topics ranging from marine invasive species to sea level rise and
erosion control. The Alliance also co-sponsored the Seal Symposium along with the
Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies, Friends of Pleasant Bay and Cape Cod
Fishermen's Alliance.
Implementation activities for the Pleasant Bay Fertilizer Management Plan included a
training session on fertilizer best management practices for municipal turf managers co-
sponsored with GreenCape. The Alliance also distributed information cards containing
best practices for residential lawn care and testified in support of the Cape Cod
Fertilizer District of Critical Planning Concern. The Alliance also commented in
opposition to NSTAR spraying within the Pleasant Bay watershed.
The study of coastal resources continued with collection of tide gage data in
Meetinghouse Pond and at the Chatham Fish Pier. The Alliance continued to coordinate
with state environmental agencies regarding approval of regulations that would allow
improvement dredging in a portion of the ACEC under prescribed conditions. The
Alliance also launched the development of best management practices for erosion
protection.
The Alliance presented Conservation Commissions in each of the four towns with
proposed permitting guidelines for docks in freshwater lakes and ponds within the
ACEC. Each Commission wrote a letter in support of the guidelines. The guidelines now
will be sent to the state Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs for approval.
The Alliance wishes to thank the citizens of Orleans for your ongoing support.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
As Police Chief, I am pleased to submit to the citizens of Orleans the Police
Department's Annual Report for 2013. This past year was an exceptional year for the
department and I'd like to express my profound gratitude to every one of our employees
who made it happen.
In September, after twenty-seven dedicated years of service, Sergeant Matthew Watts
retired from the police department. Matt was excellent officer who served the
community with pride and integrity. On behalf of the entire department, I would like to
thank Matt for his dedicated service and wish him the best with all of his future
endeavors.
In addition to Sergeant Watts' retirement, the police department experienced several
changes in personnel in the past year. Officer David Freiner and Officer Richard Dinn
were promoted to the rank of Sergeant and both will be assigned to the patrol division.
160
Sergeant Kevin Higgins was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, overseeing
communications and the detective bureau, and Lieutenant Sean Diamond was
promoted to the rank of Deputy Chief, responsible for the day to day operations of the
department. The department also hired three new officers; Richard Pellegrino, Casey
Eagan and Ryan Melia. I'm confident they all will be excellent additions to our staff.
The Police Department continued to aggressively pursue outside grant funding to
augment Town resources for equipment purchases and local enforcement initiatives.
Although grant funding opportunities were limited, the Orleans Police Department was
successful in receiving several grants totaling $ 14,000.00.The grants were awarded by
the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and included funding for underage
alcohol enforcement, pedestrian and bicycle safety enforcement and traffic safety
initiatives.
I believe that in any organization, whether private or public, there must be a sound plan
in place for that organization to be successful. Our organizational plan will not only
serve as a foundation for how we will provide police services in the future, but will also
serve as the department's vehicle for accomplishing continual well thought out change. I
am pleased to report that in 2012, the Smaller Law Enforcement Agency Program, a
Division of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, approved my request for
technical assistance related to developing a Strategic Plan for the Orleans Police
Department. All technical assistance and travel expenses for the project team was paid
for through the Smaller Agency Program and a grant from Bureau of Justice Assistance.
This process started in October and will continue into the spring of 2014. Ultimately,
working closely with community members and department employees, we will develop
the police department's five year comprehensive Strategic Plan.
On an extremely sad note, retired Lieutenant and longtime constable, John "Fitzy"
Fitzpatrick passed away in November. Although John retired from the department
before I started, I was fortunate enough to get to know him well over the past few years.
John was a remarkable man who cared deeply about his community. John was a
dedicated officer and friend to all associated with our department. He will be sorely
missed.
In 2013 the police department responded to and/or investigated 15,599 calls for service;
116 major motor vehicle crashes resulting in injury or property damage over $1,000;
300 arrests or criminal applications and 3,865 traffic stops. Please see the detailed
activity breakdown at the end of this report.
I am pleased with the accomplishments and progress of the Department over the past
year. I trust that you find this report to be an informative, fair and an accurate
representation of the dedication and commitment to service that our department exhibits
on a daily basis. We remain committed to providing the highest quality police services to
our citizens, business community and visitors alike and look forward to a successful
2014.

RENEWABLE ENERGY COMMITTEE
The Orleans Renewable Energy Committee (OREC) met with various Solar
Photovoltaic installers during the year, to further our knowledge of the industry. These
installers included My Generation Energy, Blue Wave Capital. As a result of the rising
pricing of SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Credits) the various methods of financing
solar projects are helping to make solar energy more viable for municipalities and also
residents.
OREC also discussed the Solar Project "bidding process" with members of the Town of
Brewster town admin. They provided us with examples of the documents used in their
bidding process for the Brewster Solar Garden Project. These may become useful if we
proceed with our own solar project for the watershed site.
Cape Light Compact (CLC) gave us a presentation and demonstration of the new LED
street lights that were installed in various locations around town. CLC is looking for
feedback from the town residents on the new lights.
The Landfill Solar Project is proceeding through the CVEC Phase 2 funding process.
Orleans has received the completed "Post Closure Permit" for the landfill site. Broadway
Electric and N-Star have completed the detailed design drawings and pricing for
interconnection to the grid. We expect this 574.2 KW (DC) project to begin construction
in 2014.
In 2013 OREC identified another site in the Orleans watershed for a possible Solar
project. This site includes three land parcels next to the iron and manganese plant.
OREC has visited this site and feels that it is ideal for another solar PV array of about
375 KW.
The permitting process for watershed parcels is more involved than that for landfills and
requires that Orleans submit to the state for Article 97 Relief. This is in process and
164
once approved, the town may issue RFIs and RFPs to interested installers. The solar
array market is "very active" and we are sure there will be many interested installers.
The movement toward renewable energy sources is receiving a lot of attention in the
world, the US and Cape Cod. There are new technologies being introduced almost
every month. The OREC has been actively reviewing the literature, visiting sites,
attending seminars and conferences in order to keep up to date on these improvements
and offerings.
We have recently acquired copies of an educational film" called SWITCH. This
acclaimed documentary explores the present sources of energy used in the world today
and makes some predictions about the energy consumption for the world in our future.
Renewable Energy will become a lot more important as we move forward. OREC plans
to set up multiple showings of this film in 2014. We are also trying to stay aware of the
activities of the BOEM (Bureau of Ocean Energy Management). This federal
organization has the responsibility to "administer" energy projects in offshore waters
(beyond the 3 mile limit). Some locations off the shores of New England are being
considered.
We would like to thank the assistance of former committee member Dick Philbrick along
with BOS members Jon Fuller, Sims McGrath and also Paul RooKer of the Finance
Committee for their support during 2013.
The OREC is presently looking for an additional member(s) to join our active committee.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim Hungerford, Chairman

SHELLFISH & HARBORMASTER DEPARTMENT
The Shellfish & Harbormaster Department is responsible for the oversight of virtually all
activities around the town's shoreline and waterways. The Department consists of three
full time employees and two seasonal patrol boat operators. Our work includes such
activities as: issuance of mooring permits, maintaining mooring waiting lists, issuance of
Rock Harbor dockage agreements, issuance of commercial shellfish licenses, natural
resource management and planning, private aquaculture management, maintenance of
town landings, dock and pier repair and construction, shellfish propagation, setting and
hauling of aids to navigation, vessel pump-out service, marine animal rescue, herring
run maintenance and restoration, marine rescue, emergency towing and enforcement of
all federal, state, and local laws, bylaws and regulations governing boating and shell-
fishing.
Specific projects for the year were as follows:
Shellfish Propagation Program. During 2013, our Department planted 575,000
quahaugs and 200,000 oysters in the Nauset and Pleasant Bay estuaries. In addition,
the Orleans Pond Coalition, in cooperation with our department, continued a project
growing oysters in an up-weller located at Arey's Pond Boat Yard. Approximately
30,000 oysters were reared and will be planted in the waters of the Town during 2014.
Facility Improvements. In the spring of 2012, construction of the new boat launch ramp
at River Road was completed.
I would like to express my sincerest thanks to those residents and town employees who
so greatly assisted us during 2013. Specifically, I would like to thank Department of
Public Works Director Tom Daley, Fire Chief William Quinn, Deputy Fire Chief Tony
Pike, Police Chief Scott MacDonald, Deputy Police Chief Sean Diamond, Lieutenant
Kevin Higgins, Water Superintendent Todd Bunzick and Highway Superintendent Mark
Budnick and their staff for their constant help and support in our effort to keep the
shoreline and waterways of Orleans safe and sound. I would also like to thank the
members of the Shellfish and Waterways Advisory Committee for their dedicated efforts
at preserving the marine resources of the town. I wish to express as always my
gratitude to my assistants, Gardner Jamieson and Greg Normandy, for their hard work
and overall commendable performance in their respective positions.

SHELLFISH AND WATERWAYS IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
In its advisory capacity, the committee serves as a resource to the Town Administrator,
Board of Selectmen (BOS), Natural Resource Manager-Harbormaster/Shellfish
Constable and other town boards and committees, for issues related to preserving,
protecting, managing, and enhancing our natural resources such as finfish, shellfish and
public waterways.
The Committee continued its active support of the Orleans Pilgrim Lake Volunteer
Herring Count Program, now in its 6t" year, and we thank the 67 volunteer herring
counters for their efforts and continued dedication to this important monitoring effort. A
total of 477 counts were conducted by volunteers over 68 days between March 25 and
May 31. Based on an actual count of 319 herring, the MA State Division of Fisheries,
Diadromous Fisheries Biology & Management Program calculated that the estimated
run size for 2013 was 3001 herring +/-1175. Though not quite as high as 2012, it was an
increase over the counts/run sizes calculated for the years 2008-2011.
During oyster spawning time in the summer, two oyster collection devices called
"Chinese Hats" were placed in close proximity to a operating oyster aquaculture grant in
Cape Cod Bay off Rock Harbor. The surface of the Hats are coated with a material
designed to attract juvenile oysters during their free swimming larval stage (called
"spat"), where they may attach ("spat set") and grow. When the Hats were retrieved at
the end of the season, there were juvenile oysters attached to the Hats, confirming that
there are oyster larvae in the water column over the sand flats that will set and grow
there if a suitable substrate is provided. The Committee thanks the grant holders Kyle
and Wendy Farrell for their assistance and support during this Committee experiment.
The Committee voted its unanimous support for the Orleans Pond Coalition's Oyster
Upweller Project, a new and growing citizen volunteer effort which also receives
technical support from the Orleans Harbormaster/Shellfish Constable, and facilities
support from Areys Pond Boat Yard.
The Committee also continued to provide the Natural Resources Department-
Harbormaster and Shellfish Constable Dawson Farber, and our Board of Selectmen
Liaison David Dunford with feedback, and/or support as needed on a variety of shellfish
and waterways topics including, but not limited to Conservation Moorings, management
recommendations for Cedar Pond and the Cedar Pond Herring Run, marine
predators/public safety, boat access, and Razor Clam harvesting methods.

SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE
The committee provides guidance on development proposals to improve design assist
developers in the understanding of the local permitting process. In 2013, eighteen
meetings were held. There were a total of twenty-nine Informal Site Plan Reviews and
six Formal Site Plan Reviews as well as discussions and status updates of ongoing
projects.
Site Plan Review Committee members represent the following departments: Building,
Conservation, Fire, Health, Highway/DPW, Planning, and Water.

SNOW LIBRARY
2013 was a major year of transition for Snow Library with several significant changes in
personnel, expanded adult and children's programs, and increases in many areas of
library service.
STAFF: In January 2013, Mary Reuland retired after 17 years of dedicated service to
the community, 14 of them as Director. Tavi Prugno, longtime Assistant Director,
became Acting Director and ably dealt with many challenges — both everyday and
extraordinary — with grace and competence. An interview committee (3 Trustees,
Assistant Town Administrator Myra Suchenicz, and Virginia Hewitt, Director of Brooks
Library in Harwich) interviewed five candidates for the position. At the end of the
interviews, Tavi Prugno was the unanimous choice and he became Director on July 1,
2013.
In October 2013, Margaret Kistinger became Assistant Director and Tom Michels filled
the Principal Clerk position vacated by Anita Firmin. In addition to these positions, there
were several changes in circulation staffing at the library as well. We are grateful for the
excellent customer service that the staff provides to both year round and summer
residents and for their flexibility during this time of transition.
PROGRAMS: The January Saturday afternoon winter music programs funded by the
Rowena Myers Trust continued to provide enjoyment for many library patrons.
Particular highlights were Bart Weisman's Klezmer Swing Group and John Salerno's
Big Band Music. The Summer at Snow series on Wednesday nights sponsored by the
Brotherton Foundation and the Friends of Snow Library provided a wealth of authors,
musical groups, and other programs for summer enjoyment. Most popular of these
programs were: Hyannis Sound and Dr. Greg Skomal's presentation on sharks. A total
of 354 adult programs were held in FY 2013 with attendance of 12,780.
Ann Foster, Youth Services Librarian, ably coordinated library children's and youth
programs. Regular story times were supplemented by special programs to suit the
interests of a variety of age groups. The summer reading program "Dig Into Reading"
was highly successful and there were a number of other programs that drew over 50
participants. A total of 129 children's programs were held with an attendance of 1,670.
169
A major outreach program this year was the partnership between Snow Library, the
Friends of the Library, and the Orleans Elementary School in the One School, One
Book program. The Library acquired copies of the book, Kenny and the Dragon, which
were paid for by the Friends and then read by the students and faculty. In addition, the
Friends have been strengthening the Library's relationship with the Nauset Regional
Middle School.
BUILDING: There have been numerous problems with our 60+ year old building during
this year. There have been difficulties with broken pipes and falling ceiling tiles and
leaks in various areas of the building. Most significant was the need to repair the
deteriorating structure of the floor in the work room area. This project took most of the
month of December to complete, but has made a marked difference in both appearance
and future durability for the heavy use this area incurs daily. We are thankful for the
guidance and oversight of Ron Collins, Town Facilities Manger. In addition, all of the
public restrooms were painted and the lower level restrooms had new flooring and til
ing. The Young Adult area had a major rearrangement and adult fiction and mysteries
were interfiled and rearranged in the lower level.
OTHER LIBRARY STATISTICS: In FY 2013, Snow Library had a total of 9,463
registered borrowers. Circulation was 169,357. Both of these statistics showed
significant increases over FY 2012. 152,358 people came through the doors during the
2,379 hours the library was open in FY 2013. There were 5,200 reference questions
answered in the year. 25,579 interlibrary loans were received from other libraries and
12,210 were provided to other libraries. In our library, one may find 75,699 materials of
a variety of types. In addition to books, there are newspapers and magazines, compact
discs, DVDs, e-books, and downloadable audio books and music. There are 10 public
computers which are used by an average of 300 people/week and there is wi-fi
available for those who bring their own laptops and other electronic devices. There are
toys and games for children to play with as well. In the fall, Library Journal again
recognized Snow Library as a "starred library" for its excellence in a variety of areas.
FRIENDS OF SNOW LIBRARY: Where would we be without our strong and helpful
Friends of the Library group? The Friends are an amazing group with a strong
membership and a variety of skills that are helpful to support the mission of Snow
Library. The Friends provide the money for the museum passes that are used by many
library patrons and also provide funding for many of the investment materials. The
Lifetime Learning Programs with attendance of over 1000 are a gift to the Orleans
community. They cover a wealth of topics and interests. The Friends also recruit
volunteers to help with a variety of behind-the-scenes tasks. One of the highlights this
year was the Book and Author Luncheon featuring Nathaniel Philbrick who discussed
his latest book, Bunker Hill. The Friends have also launched a Snow Mobile to deliver
materials to residents who are unable to get to the library.
We are grateful for the many departments of the Town of Orleans for their help in a
variety of ways especially Myra Suchenicz, Assistant Town Administrator and
Selectmen liaisons Sue Christie and Alan McClennen. We also thank all of the year
round and summer residents of Orleans who make Snow Library the vital place that it is
through their support
Respectfully submitted,
Sue Lederhouse, Library Trustee Chairperson

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Many, many thanks for your continued support of the students and staff of the Nauset
Public Schools. Because of this support, we continue to experience outstanding results
at Orleans Elementary School (OES) and the Nauset Regional Schools. Not only are
our annual test scores way above the State average, our children continue to thrive and
grow in a stimulating school environment staffed by dedicated, caring teachers.
OES is ranked by the State as a Level 1 school, the highest rating. The students scored
10th out of 874 schools in the State in Grade 5 Science, 24th in the State in Grade 4
Math, and 29th in the State in Grade 4 English Language Arts. This extraordinary
academic performance is complemented by a strong program in the arts, music,
physical education, and after-school enrichment opportunities. OES students also enjoy
a wide array of partnerships with community based organizations which are mutually
beneficial, extensive, and curriculum relevant.
At Nauset Middle and Nauset High Schools, we achieved a similar level of excellence in
State test scores. For example, 87% of Grade 7 and Grade 8 students ranked proficient
and advanced in reading and writing compared to the State average of 72 and 78
respectively. In Grade 10, 97% of students scored proficient and advanced in English
and 90% in mathematics compared to the State average score of 91% and 80%
respectively. Of course the MCAS is only one measure of student performance. Our
students also excel in advanced placement courses and in art, drama, sports, and
music. In fact this year the high school bands and chorus groups won several gold
medals at a national competition!
Two areas of challenge for our schools are infrastructure needs and the expansion of
instructional technology. At Orleans Elementary School, plans are in the works to
replace windows and exterior doors in the near future. Recently the school's boiler was
replaced. We greatly appreciate the support of our citizens to maintain our wonderful
school!
The Nauset Middle School roof at 23 years old will also need replacing. Fortunately, we
were successful in getting a State grant that would pay up to $900,000 of the estimated
$2.4 million cost. It is anticipated that this project will be considered at Town Meeting in
May 2013.
Work on our other major goal, increasing the level of technology in all of our schools, is
progressing. All of our schools are now able to provide wireless access to the Internet
from any location in the school and for the high school, on the campus as well. This
was a critical first step to improve the infrastructure that will eventually deliver many
robust and exciting teaching tools to our teachers and students. For example, teachers
can now use mobile devices such as the iPad to instantly display a video on the
environment while the students study the topic and work collaboratively on projects
about the environment. Many of our classrooms now include a modern day "blackboard"
know as a Smartboard. This tool allows teachers to display motivating content in a large
format and students are able to use the interactive technology of the Smartboard to
show what they know. Smartboards and mobile devices are fast becoming the tools of
today, not just a dream of tomorrow. With them our students are able to not just learn
subject content, but they are also learning important 21St century skills in
communication, creativity, problem solving, and collaboration.
You may have also heard of the "Common Core." The Common Core was adopted by
the State of Massachusetts and its emphasis is on enhancing writing skills, expanding
reading of non-fiction, and promoting a deeper understanding of mathematical
171
concepts, not just getting the correct answer. Principals and teacher leaders have
worked hard to adjust to both what we teach (curriculum content) and how we teach
(pedagogy) so learners of all abilities are challenged with a vigorous and rigorous
program of studies. The District is also piloting the use of several software applications
to make student assessment data more readily available so staff can adjust teaching to
improve student learning.
Lastly, I want to again thank our citizens and in particular our police chief, Scott
MacDonald, and the Orleans Police Department for their insightful leadership in helping
our schools to enhance the level of safety and security. The very highest priority for your
school administration is the safety of our students; and our partnership with Orleans
Police, Fire, and other town departments provides us with a level of security that meets
this priority.
Our schools are not just for our younger residents. They are for our entire community
and as such, I invite you to become involved and support our efforts to provide the best
education we can. After all, today's students are tomorrow's leaders who will use their
years of education for the betterment of our world. Nauset Schools truly live our motto:
Every Child Matters.
Please feel free to contact me at any time. My door is always open to you and I invite
you to share your thoughts and ideas with me. I am honored and privileged to be your
Superintendent of Schools.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard J. Hoffmann, Ed. D., Superintendent of Schools
VETERANS' GRAVES OFFICER
Again this year the number of new veteran's graves has seen an increase. To the best
of my knowledge I've been able to have a new marker and flag on each of these new
graves.
This year the wind was a little kinder on the flags and for Veteran's Day not too many
flags had to be replaced. If you are aware of a missing marker please let me know and I
will try to replace it as soon as possible. If a flag has come detached from the staff
please do not remove the staff as that makes finding the site and replacement of the
flag more difficult.
Respectfully submitted,
Peter C. Howerton, Veterans' Graves Officer
VETERANS' SERVICES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Orleans:
The following report is of the activities of the Department of Veterans' Services for
Calendar Year 2013. Our duties are categorized in two basic areas: Benefits and
Services.
172
Commonwealth Low-income Benefits:
This program is covered and authorized under Massachusetts General Law Chapter
115. It provides financial assistance to honorably-discharged, veterans who establish
need and worthiness and are residents of the Town of Orleans. During the year the
Town, through our office, extended benefits to qualified veterans totaling $26,400 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.
Federal Benefits and Services:
We assisted veterans and their dependents in obtaining federal, state and local benefits
under the broad umbrella of the Department of Veterans Affairs. These services
included payments for service-connected disabilities, pensions, education, medical,
burial, medals and records. During the year, this office assisted in obtaining $1.2 million
in cash payments for service-injury compensation and pensions for Orleans veterans
and their dependents. These alternative sources of income are at no cost to the Town
and greatly reduce the need for the MGL Chapter 115 benefits noted above.
Our objective is to be a one-stop center for all of the benefit needs of both veterans and
their spouses and our staff works very hard to meet that goal. We are anxious and
willing to assist with claims and information for the full range of available services.
We encourage any veteran or dependent of a veteran to contact us at our main office in

WATER DEPARTMENT
The Orleans Water Department is pleased to provide the following report of happenings
for calendar year 2013.
The Town of Orleans, through an RFP process, contracted with the engineering firm
Wright Pierce for the development of a 20-year Asset Management Plan for the Water
Department. The scope of services to be included within the plan are a conditional
assessment of all Water Department facilities, a water system demand and supply
analysis, regulatory analysis, recommended policies and practices and a proposed
capital improvement plan with costs, priorities and phasing recommendations.
174
The Town of Orleans is very excited to have contracted with Advanced Enterprise
Systems Corporation for a Computerized Management Maintenance System (Utility
Cloud) to be used in conjunction with the 20-year Asset Management Plan for asset
management, workflow management, work order tracking and MADEP reporting. If all
goes as planned, Utility Cloud could also be used to benefit many departments within
the town.
The Town of Orleans contracted with the engineering firm Haley and Ward to oversee
the painting and rehabilitation of storage tank #1 which was completed the end of
November 2013. The rehabilitation brought the tank into compliance with DEP's new
recommended standards for water storage tanks and included the installation of a
mixing system as recommended by the Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners to
decrease water age within the storage tank.
The Department of Environmental Protection Agency (DEP) has extended our existing
Water Management Act Permit to November 2014. The Department in conjunction with
the Barnstable County Water Utilities Association is currently working with DEP to
resolve a disagreement about the proposed mandate to restrict outdoor watering to 2
days per week from April — September annually regardless of pond levels or rainfall.
The Orleans Water Department became part of the new Town of Orleans Department of
Public Works and Natural Resources in April of 2013 with the hiring of our new Director,
Tom Daley. We look forward to working with him and the other departments
cooperatively to benefit the Town.
The Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners also addressed the following matters in
2013:
• Brought proposed changes to Chapter 158 Water Department Bylaws to the May
2013 Annual Town Meeting for consideration and approval. These as well as
Chapter 196 Water Department Rules and Regulations can be viewed from the
Water Department page of the Town of Orleans website
www.town.orleans.ma.us.
• Supported phase 1A wastewater article at May 2013 Annual Town Meeting.
• Attended emergency preparedness training that included Water, Fire, Police,
DPW, MIS, Health and Buildings and Maintenance Departments.
• Worked cooperatively with Carole Ridley of the Pleasant Bay Alliance to include
with the semi-annual water billing information on fertilizer management.
• Made a recommendation to the Board of Selectmen to sign the MAWarn
(Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network) agreement to allow for receipt of
rapid mutual aid and assistance from other public systems in Massachusetts to
restore services damaged by natural or man-made incidents.
Throughout the year the Water Department maintained its system maintenance
programs. This includes the inspection, repair and replacement of fire hydrants, meter
replacement program, valve exercising and well redevelopment.
We would like to express our appreciation to the Water Department personnel, the other
town departments and the residents of the Town of Orleans for their assistance,
cooperation and support during the past year.
