REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMENThe municipal year runs its’ course much like the tides, but in 2017 the Board tackled
several dynamic and complex issues that spanned the length of the annual calendar. The
Board was fortunate to have stability in membership as we faced these challenges with
only one seat up which John Dickson was re-elected to for a third term. Many of the issues
stemmed from either citizens petitions or projects over which the Board did not have direct
control, but helped to navigate the direction which would be taken, with the best interest of
the residents and the Town in mind. As the country faced much change and uncertainty, it was
incumbent upon municipalities to provide guidance and direction on the local level.
The year kicked off with a ground breaking ceremony for the new Fire Station complex. Though
it was cold outside and the skies were gray, the ceremony represented the efforts of many hard
working members of the community and staff to bring this project to the light of day. By years
end, the Board attended a walk-through of the significant progress that had been made in
construction throughout the year. With site work almost complete and the building weather tight,
work will continue through the winter in anticipation of a spring grand opening.
Recreational marijuana was legalized by ballot initiative in the State and though, it did not pass
by majority in the Town of Brewster, the Board spent much of the year debating next steps.
The future of recreational marijuana was a topic on many of the Board’s agendas throughout
2017, culminating in much discussion and a vote at the fall town meeting. Exasperating the
issue was a lack of clarity from the State on how municipalities were to proceed. Unfortunately
the ever changing guidelines on the State level created confusion on the local level, not just in
Brewster, but across the Cape and Commonwealth. Based on the negative local vote on the
legalization of recreational marijuana, the Board brought forward two articles to town meeting;
one to ban recreational facilities in the Town and the other to place a moratorium on recreational
establishments to ensure regulations could be created in a measured way. Both articles failed at
Town meeting and as the year closed, the Board had to contemplate a Special early spring town
meeting to put zoning regulations and general bylaws in place, ahead of the April 1 deadline set
by the State to start accepting applications.
The Board is tasked with reviewing many projects and permits throughout Town and works
diligently to weigh the merits. Much time was spent this year evaluating the Cumberland Farms
project and the requested change in gasoline storage tanks as part of a larger renovation
project. The Board held several meetings to analyze what was best for the Town versus what
the business was trying to accomplish and welcomed all public input on this decision. After
many months of back and forth, the Board denied the permit for full expansion of the gasoline
and diesel amid concerns of a prior leak that had occurred on the premises. In the end, in order
to avoid a protracted legal battle, the Board was able to negotiate a compromise which ensured
public protection and allowed the project to move forward with a reduction in the proposed
scope of gasoline storage tank expansion.
In other areas of public concern, the Board continued to pursue its’ case against Eversource
spraying herbicides in the right of ways. We have been trying to get Eversource to change their
position on spraying on the Cape for several years, due to the sole source aquifer and the lack of
solid research that spraying pesticides will not damage our precious water sources. The Board
authorized Attorney Bruce Taub to represent the Town’s interest in this matter in front of the
Pesticide Board and ultimately, the court. Initially, several towns on the Cape had joined in this
fight, but by the end of the year, Brewster stood alone in the battle. Due to the efforts of Attorney
Taub, DPW Superintendent Patrick Ellis and Town Administrator Michael Embury, Eversource
was stopped from spraying in Brewster again this year. It now appears that Eversource will file
a separate ROW maintenance plan for the Cape which we consider a victory in protecting our
and our neighbors’ natural resources.
10
The Town, under the Boards’ direction embarked on a Visioning Process for the Town which will
ultimately help to create a master plan for Brewster. Nine qualified and dedicated volunteers
were appointed by the Board to the Brewster Vision Advisory Group to undertake this town wide
initiative. The Vision group has already held two series of community workshops and reported
back to the Board on the data and findings that will create the building blocks for the future action
plan. Among noted important issues to residents is the need for a Community Center which would
include expanded space and programming for the Council on Aging services. The Board hopes
to work on space and programming needs for the Council on Aging as well as the other important
focus areas that the Vision Process will bring forward to us in the upcoming year.
Many important projects were completed in Town this year, including Ellis Landing improvements,
the State’s completion of the Route 6A renovation and sidewalk project and reconfiguration of the
entrance to the new beach parking at Crosby Mansion. The Boards thanks the many people who
were involved with bringing expanded parking to this very busy and loved beach area, including
Patrick Ellis, DPW Superintendent; Chief Richard Koch; former Town Administrator, Charlie
Sumner; Town Administrator Michael Embury; Brian Locke-Crosby Mansion Manager and the
donated services of Jay Merchant of Cape Sand & Recycle. Additionally, we could not have
accomplished this project without the support of our Cape Delegation- particularly Representative
Timothy Whalen. We were lucky to have Lieutenant Governor Polito visit with us in June to see
the efforts of this local/state partnership. We collectively cleaned up the front of Crosby Mansion,
made Crosby Lane safer, increased parking for beach goers for minimal costs and demonstrated
how local government should work. As always, the Board is tasked with voting on budgets, capital
projects and personnel contracts on an annual basis. There are many large capital items that the
Board will have to consider and balance over the next 10 years, including the Cape Tech School
new building, a renovation of the Nauset High School and a renovation of the Brewster Ladies
Library. While we seek to limit impact on resident tax rates, replacement and maintenance of
aging infrastructure, roads and equipment is also a priority to the Board. We continue to look at
new revenue sources and hope in 2018, the State will pass a short term room rental tax which
has been advanced by this Board for over 12 years with former Selectman Ed Lewis leading the
charge.
The Select Board relies on staff, committee members and volunteers to help keep the Town
running smoothly and projects moving forward. There were two major retirements this year as
Dave Tately, Deputy Assessor and Kathy Cockcroft, Ladies Library Director said goodbye. We
thank them for their service and dedication to the Town of Brewster. We were fortunate to have
former Conservation Administrator, James Gallagher rejoin our team as the Deputy Assessor
and a previous library director, Cheryl Bryan come on to serve as Interim Director for the Ladies
Library. We are truly grateful for the hard work of all town employees and volunteers who make
Brewster a special place to live.
Respectfully submitted,
Peter Norton, Chair Cindy Bingham, Vice Chair David Whitney, Clerk
John Dickson James Foley

REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
The Department of Municipal Finance includes Assessing, Treasurer / Collector, Accounting
Budget, and Information Systems. The department operates under the requirements the
General Laws of Massachusetts (MGL) and the Massachusetts Department of Local
Services (DLS / previously known as DOR). Information related specifically to the Accounting /
Budget Division follows:
Accounting
The Accounting office personnel consists of the Assistant Town Accountant and the Director of
Finance who also serves as the Town Accountant. The accounting division maintains the accounting
records for 43 funds totaling $26.7 million at the beginning of Fiscal Year 2018. Major funds
include the general fund ($4.35 million), town capital projects funds ($7.3 million); and Non-
major funds (state and federal grants, gift funds, revolving funds, and trust and agency
funds ($12.15 million). The Accounting division also maintains the accounting records for
the Community Preservation Funds ($2.9 million).
The Director of Finance prepares the draft financial reports to meet local, state, and federal
requirements on an annual basis. This position also coordinates the annual audit with a third party
independent audit firm for the Town of Brewster. In FY2017, the FY2016 audit was completed on
November 18, 2017 with an unqualified opinion. An unqualified opinion, which is also referred to
as a clean opinion, means in the independent auditor’s opinion, the Town has fairly presented its
financial position, results of overall government operations, changes in cash flows, and application
and conformity of Government Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
During FY2018, the majority of the Accounting Divisions focus is on updating the chart of accounts
to be in accordance with Uniform Massachusetts Accounting Standards (UMAS); providing
accounting system access to all internal town departments, as well as reconciling major fund
activity (cash, accounts receivable, special revenue fund, and trusts) updating our vendor system
to ensure each invoice and/or refund that is processed by the Town has an associated vendor
number; and processing Accounts Payable Warrants, Payroll Warrants, and Cash Receipts. We
also began to scan documents into the Laserfische document portal. We are currently scanning
and cataloging contracts. The next phase is to scan and catalogue cash receipts and eventually
accounts payable warrants, invoices, etc.
Budget
The Director of Finance also maintains budget records for all budgetary fund and account groups,
provides financial analysis during union negotiations, and support department heads and Town
Administration during the annual budgetary process.
The Massachusetts Department of Revenue certified the FY2018 Municipal Budget in the
amount of $52.5 million dollars comprised of $38.24 million from the tax levy and other
general revenues, $2.26 million from free cash, $9.9 million from other special revenue
funds, and $2.1 million from Community Preservation Funds.
The FY2018 Budget for the General Fund was $40.8 million which includes departments
relating to general government, public safety, costal resources, maintenance, health and human
services, and the school departments. The general fund budget also includes shared expenses in
town and school departments such as debt service, health and other insurances, and retirement
assessments.
13
Special revenue funds receive revenues from federal and state grants, and from fee-based
programs. Revenues are legally restricted for a specific purpose under MGL Chapter 44 Section
53E ½; the Golf Department and Ambulatory Services under MGL Chapter 40 Section 5F; the
Water Department MGL Chapter 41, Section 69B, and other revolving funds established by local
and / or state legislation. The amount budgeted in FY2018 for Revolving Funds was $9.2
million dollars.
Capital projects for the general fund are funded from taxes, personal property taxes, and other
local revenues as well as proceeds of general obligation bond issues, from federal and state
grants, from certified free cash, or from transfers from the general operating fund, authorized by
Town Meeting. In FY2018, the amount used for Town related capital projects was $1,553,746
($590,951 from the tax levy; $592,668 from free cash; $370,127 from other available funds).
In accordance with Massachusetts General Law Chapter 42, Section 61 the Combining Balance
Sheet and Account Detail follows this narrative.
To the Citizens of Brewster, Selectboard, Finance Committee, Mr. Michael Embury, Town
Administrator, Department Heads, and all departments, I extend my appreciation for their support,
knowledge and teamwork.
Respectfully submitted,
Irene D. Larivee
Finance Director/Town Accountant

REPORT OF THE TOWN CLERK
This year we held our Annual/Special Town Meeting in May followed by our Annual Town
Election. We then held a District Wide Election for the Cape Cod Regional Technical High
School Construction Project and finally the Special Town Meeting in November.
Our Board of Registrars, Frank Smith and Ted Nabywaniec, as always showed a great deal
of care and dedication to the citizens of Brewster. They have supported our Office with many
hours of voter registrations, census data collection, as well as any other task asked of them.
I would like to again thank Ellen St. Sure, our Town Archivist for expertise in all things Brewster,
her dedication to the history of this town is beyond comparison. Thank you to Jayanne Sci, the
Assistant Town Clerk, for her valuable support to myself, all of her co-workers, the citizens and
visitors of Brewster. Jayanne continues to further her education in Municipal Government.
We have many people to thank for their support and assistance over the year, to name a
few; the Board of Selectmen; Mike Embury, Town Administrator, Thomas Thatcher, Building
Maintenance Supervisor; the Brewster Police Department; the Department of Public Works
staff, for the set-up and dismantling of the election site; all of our co-workers, all Committee/
Board members who go above and beyond for their town; all of the election workers; and the
citizens of Brewster who are so passionately involved in their town.
Please remember to return your 2018 Annual Town Census, these census numbers are used
for numerous projections throughout the year including but not limited to; Police resources,
Fire/EMT resources, school projections, and keeping our voter registration lists up to date and
current. This coming year we will have a Governor’s Election in November and expect a large
turnout of voter participation. We look forward to another year ahead working with and for the
citizens of Brewster.
Respectfully submitted,
Colette M. Williams, CMC/CMMC
Town Clerk

CITIZENS PETITION : Resolution to Address Climate Change
by Setting Goals & Supporting Green Aggregation
ARTICLE NO. 33: To see if the Town, consistent with the objectives of the Massachusetts Global
107
Warming Solutions Act, will vote to continue to aggregate electrical load, to develop and implement
energy plans, to collect and administer energy efficiency funds, and to set and implement retail
power supply rates and energy efficiency surcharges, pursuant to Massachusetts General Law
Chapter 164 Section 134 and all other applicable statutes, and further, to adopt the following
resolution:
Whereas the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has established a competitive marketplace for
electricity and has committed to ambitious goals for increasing energy efficiency, expanding
reliance on renewable energy, and reducing economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by
2020 and 80% by 2050;
Whereas representatives of energy, environmental, and business organizations and agencies and
municipal energy committees, acting together through the Cape & Islands Renewable Energy
Collaborative, have established visionary regional goals of cutting fossil fuel consumption for
heating and transportation by 50% and generating sufficient renewable energy to meet 100% of
annual electricity sales across Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket;
Whereas energy, environmental, and business organizations and agencies, acting together through
the Cape Cod Climate Change Collaborative, have committed to monitoring and accelerating local
progress toward the emission reduction and temperature targets called for by the Paris Agreement
under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change;
Whereas the Town has adopted prior resolutions and granted prior authorizations for the purposes
of negotiating and executing the Cape Light Compact (CLC) inter-municipal agreement (IMA),
aggregating the Town’s and other participants’ electrical loads to obtain the least expensive reliable
supply of electricity, and developing an energy plan;
Whereas the Town, acting together with other municipalities through the IMA, has participated in
the CLC municipal aggregation since the initial aggregation plan was reviewed and approved by
the state in 2000;
Whereas the Town, as the aggregating entity under MGL 164:134 and acting together with towns
and counties on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard, has achieved notable successes in reducing
energy bills, fossil fuel consumption, and electricity sales through local control of ratepayer-funded
efficiency programs and in 2017 began offering green power supply at a premium over the market
rate;
Whereas Brewster’s citizens are interested in lowering energy bills, supporting renewable energy,
and addressing climate change through individual and group action:
Be it therefore resolved that Town Meeting members of Brewster declare continued intent and
support for municipal aggregation under MGL 164:134 and grant the Board of Selectmen authority,
independently or in joint action with other towns,
• To adopt quantitative targets for reducing fossil fuel consumption, increasing reliance on
renewable energy sources, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions both from municipal
operations and on a community-wide basis;
• To negotiate and enter into contracts for green power supply, energy efficiency,
and related services;
• To set surcharges, collect revenues, and administer programs relating to green power
supply, consumer advocacy, and energy efficiency;
108
• To conduct timely public hearings in Brewster announcing each change in supply sources,
supply rates, and efficiency surcharges; and
• To conduct public hearings in Brewster when considering and voting on proposed energy
and emission targets, updated and new aggregation plans, and updated and new energy
plans.
If green power supply contracts are effected, the all-requirements retail product shall incorporate
energy, capacity, and/or renewable energy certificates at levels above those required by the
Commonwealth’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) and supplied by RPS-eligible facilities in
the Cape & Islands region; any additional green surcharges shall be held and invested in the
development of local distributed resources and offshore wind farms; and consumers in Brewster
would always retain the option not to participate and to choose any alternatives they desire, or to
do or act anything in relation thereto.
Through energy plans and efficiency programs, goals shall go beyond implementing all cost-
effective electric efficiency measures to emphasize and support emission reduction in the heating
fuel and transportation sectors, energy production from renewable resources, energy and climate
literacy in schools and throughout the community, and workforce training and job creation for local
residents and businesses.

Question 2
Non-Binding Public Opinion Advisory Question
Whereas, the original design for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) spent fuel pool was
for 880 assemblies and now holds over 2,822 densely racked and tightly packed assemblies, and;
Whereas, the PNPS spent fuel pool holds over 11 times the amount of cesium released at
Chernobyl, and:
Whereas, the MA Attorney General Office 2006 report cited an accident at PNPS could result in
24,000 latent cancers, $488 billion in damages, and contamination of hundreds of miles downwind,
and;
Whereas, 885 Boraflex panels, which prevent criticality and fire, will be susceptible to unacceptable
levels of deterioration by September, 2017, and;
Whereas, the PNPS spent fuel pool is vulnerable to terrorist and cyber attack, and:
Whereas, citizens of the Town of Brewster find this to be an unacceptable threat to our health and
safety and must be resolved in the most timely manner.
Therefore, should the people of the Town of Brewster direct the town’s government to communicate
with Governor Baker to employ all means available to ensure spent nuclear fuel generated by the
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station be placed in secure dry casks as soon as technically feasible and
consistent with the highest standards, ready to be moved to a permanent federal facility when
available in order to protect the health, welfare, and economic interests of the Town of Brewster
and its inhabitants and visitors?

QUESTION
Do you approve of the vote of the Regional District School Committee of the Cape Cod Regional
Technical High School District adopted on August 24, 2017, to authorize the borrowing of
$128,062,881 to pay costs of designing, constructing, originally equipping and furnishing a new
District high school to be located at 351 Pleasant Lake Avenue, Harwich, which vote provides, in
relevant part, as follows:
"VOTED: That the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District (the "District") hereby
appropriates the amount of $128,062,881 for the purpose of paying costs of designing,
constructing, originally equipping and furnishing a new District high school to be located at 351
Pleasant Lake Avenue, Harwich, including the payment of all costs incidental or related thereto
(the "Project"), which school facility shall have an anticipated useful life as an educational facility
for the instruction of school children of at least 50 years, and.for which the District may be eligible
for a school construction grant from the Massachusetts School Building Authority ("MSBA"), said
amount to be expended at the direction of the School Building Committee. To meet this appropriation
the District is authorized to borrow said amount, under and pursuant to Chapter 71, Section
16(n) of the General Laws and the District Agreement, as amended, or pursuant to any other
enabling authority. The District acknowledges that the MSBA's grant program is a non-entitlement,
discretionary program based on need as determined by the MSBA, and any Project costs the
District incurs in excess of any grant approved by and received from the MSBA shall be the sole
responsibility of the District; provided further that any grant that the District may receive from the
113
MSBA shall not exceed the lesser of (1) forty-five and forty-five hundredths percent (45.45%) of
eligible, approved Project costs, as determined by the MSBA, and (2) the total maximum grant
amount determined by the MSBA, and that the amount of borrowing authorized pursuant to this
vote shall be reduced by any grant amount set forth in the Project Funding Agreement that may be
executed between the District and the MSBA.
If the District were to receive an MSBA grant in the amount of 45.45% of eligible, approved Project
costs, it is anticipated that the net principal amount of this debt allocable to each member town of
the District, exclusive of interest, would be approximately as follows:
Barnstable $25,481,352 Mashpee $8,215,299
Brewster $5,987,422 Orleans $2,088,635
Chatham $1,392,424 Provincetown $696,212
Dennis $9,329,238 Truro $417,727
Eastham $2,088,635 Wellfleet $1,253,181
Harwich $10,721,662 Yarmouth $19,076,204
The debt authorized by this vote of the Committee shall be submitted to the registered voters
of the District's member towns for approval at a District-wide election to be held on October 24,
2017 in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 71, Section 16(n) of the General Laws and the
District Agreement."

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT
Temporary Moratorium on Recreational Marijuana Establishments
ARTICLE NO. 11: To see if the Town will vote to amend Chapter 179 of the Brewster Town Code,
Zoning, Article IV, Use Regulations, Section 179-14 by adding a new Section 179-14, “Temporary
Moratorium on Recreational Marijuana Establishments”, that would provide as follows, and further
to amend the Table of Contents to add Section 179-14, “Temporary Moratorium on Recreational
Marijuana Establishments”:
§ 179-14 Purpose
On November 8, 2016, the voters of the Commonwealth approved a law regulating the cultivation,
processing, distribution, possession and use of marijuana for recreational purposes (new G.L.
c. 94G, Regulation of the Use and Distribution of Marijuana Not Medically Prescribed). The law,
which allows certain personal use and possession of marijuana, took effect on December 15,
2016 (as amended on December 30, 2016 by Chapter 351 of the Acts of 2016 and thereafter,
on July 28, 2017 by Chapter 55 of the Acts of 2017) requires a Cannabis Control Commission to
issue regulations regarding the licensing of commercial activities by March 15, 2018 and to begin
accepting applications for licenses no later than April 1, 2018. Currently under the Zoning Bylaw,
a non-medical Marijuana Establishment (hereinafter, a “Recreational Marijuana Establishment”),
as defined in G.L. c. 94G § 1, is not specifically addressed in the Zoning Bylaw. Regulations to be
promulgated by the Cannabis Control Commission may provide guidance on certain aspects of
local regulation of Recreation Marijuana Establishments. The regulation of recreation marijuana
raises novel legal, planning and public safety issues, and the Town needs time to study and
consider the regulation of Recreation Marijuana Establishments and address such issues, as
well 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 Recreational
Marijuana Establishments. The Town intends to adopt a temporary moratorium on the use of land
and structures in the Town for Recreational Marijuana Establishments so as to allow sufficient time
to address the effects of such structures and uses in the Town and to enact bylaws in a consistent
manner.
§ 179-14.1 Definition
“Recreational Marijuana Establishment” shall mean a “marijuana cultivator, independent testing
laboratory, marijuana product manufacturer, marijuana retailer or any other type of licensed
marijuana-related business.”
121
§ 179-14.2 Temporary Moratorium
For the reasons set forth above and notwithstanding any other provision of the Zoning Bylaw to
the contrary, the Town hereby adopts a temporary moratorium on the use of land or structures for
a Recreational Marijuana Establishment and other uses related to recreational marijuana. The
moratorium shall be in effect through December 31, 2018. During the moratorium period, the Town
shall undertake a planning process to address the potential impacts of recreational marijuana in
the Town, and to consider the Cannabis Control Commission regulations regarding Recreational
Marijuana Establishments, and shall consider adopting new Zoning Bylaws in response to these
new issues.
Or to take any other action relative thereto.

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT : Site Plan Review
ARTICLE NO. 12: To see if the Town will vote to amend Chapter 179 of the Brewster Town
Code, Article XII, Site Plan Review to reflect changes to the following sections (deleted text is
strikethrough, new text is bold and underlined):
§ 179-63 Purpose - The purpose of this article is the protection of public health, safety and welfare
through the preservation of the Town's transportation corridors and protection of its historic and
cultural character for the residents and visitors of the Town of Brewster. In addition, tThe site plan
review process assures that the development site functions in a logical fashion with minimal
impacts. The Site Plan Review of development activities can reduce the potential number of
vehicular trips along the Town's road systems, thereby reducing congestion and improving safety.
The adoption of these standards (§179-64) for transportation, access, parking, landscaping and
appearance ensures that future development will not degrade the existing character of the Town's
roadways and surroundings and will maintain or enhance transportation flow and the ability of
the corridors to serve as help preserve the Town’s character and cultural assets for the residents
and visitors of the Town of Brewster.
§ 179-64 Applicability.
In addition to any other permits required, the following development activities shall require a Site
Plan Review special permit from the Planning Board:
A. Any development required to undertake staff review pursuant to § 83-3A of the General Bylaws.
B. The establishment of any new commercial, industrial, mixed-use or multifamily use.
C. For existing commercial, industrial, or multifamily uses, any increase of floor area by more than
500 square feet through either a new principal building, a new accessory building, or an addition
to a preexisting building. shall be allowed only if granted a special permit in accordance with this
§ 179-66 and § 179-51.
122
D. A change of use of an existing structure or lot from its current use to any other commercial,
industrial, or multifamily use specified in the Table of Uses, § 179-11. However, change of a home
occupation shall not require a special permit.
E. An increase in lot coverage by 10% or more associated with any previously developed existing
commercial, industrial, or multifamily use.
§ 179-65 Regulations.
A. The special permit granting authority (SPGA) shall be the Planning Board.
B. The Planning Board shall not grant a special permit under this article until a project required to
undergo staff review has completed that process.
C. A. If the site plan meets the requirements of this article, the Planning Board shall approve it.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Such approval may include reasonable conditions to ensure that
reasonable measures to ensure the site plan standards (§179-66) are satisfied. are implemented
to provide for screening of parking areas or other parts of the premises, for adjoining premises
or from the street, by walls, fences, plantings or other devices; the convenience and safety of
vehicular and pedestrian traffic are enhanced; surface water from parking areas and driveways
will be efficiently and safely disposed of by means of a proper drainage system as specified in the
Planning Board's approval. However, tThe Planning Board cannot deny approval of a site plan for
a use which is allowed by right (not by special permit) in the district but may impose reasonable
conditions on the proposed use. The Planning Board may not impose conditions, on the grant of a
special permit the implementation of which would be contrary to any requirement of this bylaw or
require a variance from it or any other applicable provision of law bylaw.
D. B. If the project proponent needs both a special permit from the Planning Board acting under
this article and a special permit from the Board of Appeals acting under Article VIII, Nonconforming
Uses, Structures and Lots, § 179-28, Change of nonconforming uses, Subsection A, the proponent
may file a single, combined special permit application with the Planning Board, and in those
instances, the Planning Board is authorized to grant all special permit relief in one proceeding.
and decision. The proponent shall comply with all pertinent requirements, and the Planning Board
shall apply the appropriate criteria to the different components of such an application.
§ 179-66 Site plan standards.
The purpose of these standards is to improve roadway safety and internal site circulation, aesthetics
and retention of historic character. All uses requiring a special permit Site Plan Review under this
article shall meet the following standards as a condition of approval:
A. Transportation standards.
(1) Proposed uses shall not degrade the existing levels of service of surrounding roads and
intersections below level of service (LOS) C, defined by the Transportation Research Board’s
Highway Capacity Manual, based on summer peak-hour traffic volumes. The proponent shall
demonstrate that the proposed use shall maintain level of service (LOS) C. If the existing level
of service is presently below LOS C, or if the LOS with the new use would fall below LOS C, the
Planning Board may require a traffic study that would indicate identify ways to maintain improve
LOS or mitigate impacts to the satisfaction of the Board. improve performance indicators. The
analysis shall be performed using the Highway Capacity Manual published by the Transportation
Research Board. When the existing LOS is below C, the proponent shall maintain or improve
performance indicators.
(2) Driveways shall be designed to provide exiting motorists with safe sight distance. Sight distance
at any driveway serving at least 20 trips per day all driveways shall meet American Association of
State Highway and Transportation Officials standards as well as those set forth in Brewster's Sight
Line Bylaw (Chapter 157, Article VI, of the Town Code).
B. Trip reduction standards. (3) All new commercial development where the project is
123
expected to increase traffic by 20 or more daily trips, retail and service uses and wholesale
and manufacturing uses (see § 179-11, Table 1, Use Regulations)[1] shall prepare a trip reduction
plan as a condition for issuance of a special permit. The trip reduction plan shall describe traffic
impact mitigation strategies designed to reduce traffic generation and may include strategies such
as company-sponsored carpooling/vanpooling, bicycle and pedestrian incentive measures, and/
or variable work hour or flextime programs. The applicant shall also present a plan for future
enforcement of proposed trip reduction measures following permit issuance.
C. B. Access standards.
(1) The number of curb cuts on Route 6A, Route 124, Route 137, Underpass Road and Tubman
Road shall be minimized. To the extent feasible, access to businesses shall be provided through
one of the following means:
(a) Access through a common driveway serving adjacent lots or premises;
(b) Access through an existing side or rear street; or
(c) Access through a cul-de-sac or loop road shared by adjacent lots or premises.
(2) The special permit granting authority Planning Board may relax allow reduced setback
requirements to accommodate joint driveways in cases where it is deemed advantageous to the
Town.
(3) Existing businesses are encouraged to consolidate existing access points, especially in cases
where separate parcels are assembled under one purpose, plan, entity or usage.
(4) Businesses shall be permitted one access driveway by right. Two driveways shall be permitted
only when deemed necessary by the SPGA Planning Board and shall be clearly marked "entrance"
and "exit."
(5) Internal circulation shall be provided, to the greatest extent possible, among adjoining premises
to encourage internal property-to-property pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular movements. Site
circulation shall have clarity from the driver's perspective, aided by simple patterns and use of
planting islands or other devices in larger circulation areas.
(6) An occupancy permit shall not be issued for proposed developments requiring access on a state
highway until a permanent state curb cut permit is issued and all necessary site improvements are
completed.
(6) All necessary curb cut permits shall be obtained prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy
by the Building Department.
(7) Pedestrian and bicycle circulation shall be provided for between the principal building and the
street and, where appropriate, connection to any adjacent development premises.
(8) Pedestrian access and bicycle and wheelchair access, where possible, shall be provided
among all facilities on the site, between them and the street and between them and adjacent
premises developed for uses open to the public.
(8) Driveway locations shall provide the maximum practicable separation between access
locations, using shared access where feasible.
(9) All access drives shall be separated by at least 120 feet in the C-H District and V-B District, as
measured between the center line of each access drive at the street line. This standard may only
be modified in cases where the SPGA Planning Board believes it is in the best interest of the
Town to do so.
(11) A project resulting in more than 100 vehicle trips per day may be required to provide a traffic
study to outline the impacts and mitigations opportunities.
D. Parking design standards.
(1) The Town of Brewster recognizes that reliance on rigid parking and loading lot standards
precludes the development of parking lots that are sensitive to the Town's historic and rural
character. Yet, it also recognizes that some standards for parking and loading lot design are
required, provided that they can be administered with flexibility given the individual requirements
of development proposals and the parcels on which they are proposed.
(2) Through provisions of its special permit, the SPGA Planning Board is authorized to relax any
and all of numerical standards established by § 179-22, Parking and loading requirement tables,
124
and by § 179-23, Parking and loading lot standards, if the SPGA Planning Board finds that:
(a) Such relaxation will not conflict with the minimum standards established by this article or the
purpose of this article; and
(b) It will result in a development that is at least as beneficial to the Town of Brewster as the
development without a relaxation of the numerical standards.
(3) The following guidelines are set forth to assist the applicant and the SPGA Planning Board:
(a) Loading and unloading areas shall be provided of a sufficient size to accommodate the numbers
and types of vehicles likely to use the premises, given the nature of the development proposed.
Loading and unloading areas shall be located and designed to allow vehicles to safely maneuver
to and from a public right-of-way and to prevent obstruction or interference with a public right-of-
way, parking space or parking aisle.
(b) Loading areas shall be provided to the rear of the lot, wherever possible.
(c) Parking areas shall be located to the side or rear of the structure. No parking is permitted in the
required front yard setback for the structure.
(d) To the extent possible, parking areas shall be shared with adjacent businesses and should be
situated to the side and rear of the lot (frontage on Route 6A shall be considered the "front" of the
lot).
(e) In cases where shared parking is provided, the SPGA Planning Board may permit a reduction
in necessary spaces since complementary uses may require less total parking area than each use
individually.
(f) Bicycle users shall be accommodated by provision of on-site bicycle parking storage and
bicycle and walking paths.
(g) Drainage facilities shall be designed and constructed for parking areas in such a way as to
contain and treat stormwater runoff on the premises, as well as comply with design standards
referred to in § 179-57 of the Zoning Bylaw.
E. Landscaping, design and appearance standards.
(1) A year-round landscaped buffer strip shall be provided adjacent to any public road to visually
screen separate parking and other uses from the road, where feasible, and without interfering
with vehicular or pedestrian safety. The screened buffer strip shall be appropriate to the site
approximately 15 feet in depth and planted with a combination of grass, medium-height shrubs
approximately two to eight feet tall, evergreen varieties preferred, and shade trees planted at
least every 40 to 60 feet along the road frontage. Trees and shrubs shall be set back at street and
driveway entrances, exits or intersections to allow adequate sight distance and ensure vehicular
and pedestrian safety while entering or exiting the site. Applicants are encouraged expected to
review Brewster's Sight Line Bylaw, Chapter 157, Article VI, of the Town Code, prior to designing
parking lot landscaping plans.
(2) At least 25% of the required front yard area shall be vegetated.
(3) A landscaped buffer strip of approximately ten-foot depth shall be provided adjacent to adjoining
uses, excluding areas providing shared access and parking. The buffer strip shall be planted with
a combination of grass, medium-height shrubs (evergreen varieties preferred) and shade trees.
(4) Large parking areas shall be interrupted with landscaped islands such that no parking surface
exceeds 60 feet in width, not including the area(s) used for parking aisles/stalls. A minimum of one
shade tree shall be provided per five parking spaces to be placed in a protective pervious plot of
at least 60 square feet in area.
(5) (4) Exposed storage areas, machinery, service areas, truck loading areas, utility buildings and
structures and other unsightly uses shall be screened from view from neighboring properties and
streets using plantings, a wall or tight fence complemented with plantings or through some other
means deemed acceptable to the permit granting authority.
(6) (5) Shrubs and trees which die shall be replaced within one growing season. All landscaped
areas shall be maintained, as approved.
(7) (6) Buildings and architectural design shall be compatible with the character and scale of the
adjacent roadway and surrounding neighborhood.
(8) (7) Structures shall be sited so as to allow separations between buildings, particularly to
125
encourage open space in the site and reduce massiveness in the project building massing.
(9) (8) The use of bituminous paving shall be minimized.
(10) (9) Old, well-established trees shall be protected by siting buildings and parking around or
within the existing landscape.
(11) (10) Building design shall adhere to the guidelines of the Brewster Historic District Committee
in locations subject to review by the Committee. Of significant concern to the Committee are the
issues of mass and size, impact of projects on sites and settings, harmony of design and detail
within the project and setting and compatibility of projects, while encouraging variety and diversity.
F. Environmental protection requirements.
(1) Stormwater management. All development shall be designed so that resulting stormwater
patterns resemble, as nearly as possible, preexisting conditions of volume, velocity, quality and
location of runoff. Any increase over predevelopment runoff peak rate shall be authorized only if
staff review determines that any potential problems with capacity, downstream erosion or siltation
will be prevented through on- or off-site improvements or compensatory actions and that the public
interest is better served by allowing the increase than by denying it.
(2) No land altering activity, including clearing, grading, excavating or construction is
permitted until all the required permits have been obtained.
(2) (3) Erosion control.
(a) Any area of bare earth exposed through building or site development or demolition must be
permanently stabilized through replanting, paving or other means of eliminating wind or water
erosion. Such stabilization must be completed prior to building occupancy or, where no building
is committed, within 60 days of exposure, or a performance bond must be posted in an amount
sufficient to assure completion of such work.
(b) Existing grade shall be changed minimally, typically departing from existing grade by no more
than six feet and resulting in a balance on site between cut and fill, except for basement and cellar
excavations.
(c) All construction must comply with the following. An erosion control plan shall be submitted
for every development which will expose more than 60,000 square feet of bare earth during
development through either removal or filling on the same parcel or on contiguous parcels in
the same ownership and for developments exposing 20,000 to 60,000 square feet of bare earth
where staff review deems such plan to be necessitated by slopes in excess of ten-percent highly
erodible soils or other unusual conditions. Such plan shall have sufficient information on existing
and proposed topography, vegetation and control measures to allow determination of compliance.
[1] Stripping of vegetation, regrading or other development shall be done in a way which will
minimize soil erosion.
[2] Whenever practical, trees and other natural vegetation shall be retained, protected and
supplemented.
[3] The disturbed area shall be kept to a minimum.
[4] Where necessary, temporary vegetation and/or mulching shall be used to protect areas
exposed during development.
[5] Sediment basins (debris basins, desilting basins or silt traps) shall be installed and maintained
where necessary to remove from runoff waters any sediment from land undergoing development.
[6] The angle of graded slopes and fills shall be no greater than two horizontal to one vertical.
Slopes left exposed must immediately be planted or otherwise provided with permanent ground
cover or other means sufficient to restrain erosion.
[7] A ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion must be planted or otherwise provided within 30
working days, season permitting, on any portion of the tract upon which further active construction
is not being undertaken.
[8] The development plan shall be fitted to the topography and soils so as to minimize erosion potential.
G. Plants and animals.
126
(1) Location and design shall not cause avoidable damage to wildlife habitats, forests or corridors
or to any plant or animal species listed as rare, endangered, watch list or of special concern by
the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Program or to any tree exceeding 12 inches in trunk diameter
at a height of 4 1/2 feet above grade New development and redevelopment proposals located in
a mapped Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) area are required to file
with the Natural Heritage Program and provide the written determination from the NHESP prior to
receiving Site Plan approval.
(2) Specimen plants and trees, especially trees exceeding 12 inches in diameter, shall be
preserved or relocated when possible. Applicants shall be required to submit signed documentation
from the Conservation Commission or its agent that the project has been reviewed by the
Conservation Commission with respect to these considerations. The Conservation Commission
or its agent may determine that the proposed site either contains no such habitats or species or
that all feasible efforts to avoid, minimize or compensate for damage have been reflected in the
proposal. The Conservation Commission or its agent may refer the project to the Massachusetts
Natural Heritage Program for further review or comment.
H. Lighting.
(1) Lighting shall be downward casting and full shielded so as to not illuminate areas off
the property. A photometric lighting plan shall be required for all new development. The
Planning Board may determine whether a photometric plan is required for redevelopment.
Light poles shall be no higher than necessary to provide safe levels of nighttime illumination.
The following lighting zones are hereby created:
(a) Zone A: locations within a C-H, C-L, I, V-B or MRD District as established in the Brewster
Zoning Bylaw.
(b) Zone B: all other locations.
(2) Fixtures. Lighting fixture types are defined as follows:
(a) Type 1: no light cutoff.
(b) Type 2: luminaire shielded such that peak candlepower is at an angle of 75° or less from
vertical and essentially no light is emitted above the horizontal.
(c) Type 3: luminaire shielded such that total cutoff is at less than 90° from vertical and no light
source is in direct view from five feet above the ground at any point off the premises.
(3) Lighting limitation. The following limitations shall be observed by all uses, unless staff review
determines that it is inherently unfeasible for that use (e.g., public outdoor recreation) to meet
these standards, and that all reasonable efforts have been made to avoid glare or light overspill.
(a)
Maximum luminaire mounting height:
Fixture Type Zone A(feet) Zone B(feet)
1 20 10
2 30 15
3 40 20
(b)
Maximum off-site overspill:
Fixture Type Zone A (foot- candles) Zone B (foot- candles)
1 0.3 0.2
2 1.0 0.3
3 3.0 0.5
(4) (2) No flickering or flashing lights shall be permitted. Processes, such as arc welding, which
create light flashes shall be confined within buildings or shielded to prevent either direct glare or
flashing reflected from the sky.
127
(5) (2) When the Conservation Commission determines that lighting as proposed by an applicant
may have a detrimental effect on plants, wildlife or a wildlife habitat or corridor, staff review Site
Plan Review may recommend require more stringent restrictions or further mitigation.
I. Noise. Where exterior noise levels after construction are expected to exceed 100 decibels at the
source for more than 15 minutes at a time, continually on a regular or sporadic basis, the applicant
shall be required to show the Planning Board the means by which this impact shall be mitigated.
The Board shall have the authority to require greater degrees of mitigation if the Board is not
satisfied that the resultant noise level will have a minimal effect on surrounding neighborhoods or
wildlife habitats.
[Added 10-29-2012 FYTM, Art. 12]
§ 179-67 Waivers; severability.
A.
Waivers. When in the opinion of the Planning Board the requirements of § 179-66, Site Plan
Review standards, do not substantially change the relationship of the structure to the site and to
abutting properties and structures, the Planning Board may determine, without a public hearing,
that submission of a site plan for special permit approval Site Plan Review is not required. Upon
application receipt of written request, such a determination may be made by an affirmative vote
of a majority of the Planning Board present, and in no event fewer than four members.
B.
Severability. The provisions of this article are severable from each other, and the invalidity of any
provisions or sections shall not invalidate any other provision or section thereof.

Pollinate New England: The New England Wild Flower Society has developed “Pollinate New
England,” an educational program with model pollinator gardens throughout New England, filled
with diverse, systemic pesticide-free native plants. The program aims to remedy the drastic,
dangerous drop in pollinator populations and help gardeners select native plant species that
genuinely benefit pollinators.
Climate Change: MDAR has a Climate Change Working Group to study how to improve programs
and create new ones to make MA agriculture more climate change resilient.
Marijuana: With the legalization of marijuana, there have been questions about Industrial Hemp.
The State Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) has marijuana jurisdiction with one exception,
Industrial Hemp, now under MDAR. Industrial Hemp is a non-psychoactive marijuana species,
containing less than 3% THC; the compound that makes marijuana psychoactive. Industrial
Hemp having no recreational value, can be processed for use in many industries: textile, cordage,
construction, paper, and others. It’s a crop! Hem is under the Crop and Pest Services Div. If
pesticides are used for any marijuana or hemp crop, MDAR’s Pesticide Program has jurisdiction.
Agricultural Commissions Now Can Own/lease Land: In 2016 the MA Legislature passed
an act recognizing Agricultural Commissions, giving them the authority to hold lands/leases
for agricultural purposes. This allows flexibility in keeping farms viable. Commissions can now
oversee/manage the preservation of land for agricultural use. The Commission can apply for funds
to buy land and receive land donations of land.

PESTS:
Ticks- Lyme Disease, the most prevalent infectious disease in Massachusetts, is considered a
public health crisis. In addition to Lyme, Deer Ticks can also carry Babesiosis, Anaplasmosis
and Relapsing Fever, all of which can be very serious and are on the increase. Lone Star Tick
populations are expanding. They don’t transmit Lyme, but carry their own diseases. Lone Star
bites may be associated with a red meat allergy.
*Use a 3-Point Protection Plan: Protect Yourself, Protect Your Yard, Protect Your Pets. “One bite
can change your life, but tick-borne diseases are preventable.” Permethrin is the only product
that provides effective, long-lasting protection: applied to clothing, including footwear, NOT skin. It
repels and kills ticks. Permethrin products are designed for different applications. Select products
for outerwear and camping gear.
*Barnstable County residents can send a tick to the UMass Lab of Medical Zoology for a
$15 discounted fee in 2018, from January-September: www.TickReport.com

Winter Moth: Still here, but populations appear to be lower than average. Operophtera brumata
caterpillars efficiently defoliate hardwood trees. A biological control program is underway, with
parasitic flies released at several sites in MA to combat this moth. Flies are slowly spreading over
our entire region from a release point in Falmouth.
Gypsy Moth: Gypsy Moth infestations were high for a second year. Outbreaks of this insect are
usually prevented by a pathogenic fungus. Wet conditions this year may have favored development
of the fungus, allowing it to germinate and infect the larvae. Gypsy Moth should not be as severe
a problem in 2018. ldapsis@barnstablecounty.org
Meet Your Local Farmers: March 25, 2017 the Harwich Conservation Trust and Cape & Islands
Farm Bureau sponsored local farmers to exhibit products, promote farms. Kick off the 2018 growing

BREWSTER:
Farmers Markets: The Brewster Historical Society has opened a Farmer’s Market, held In front
of the Windmill next to the Drummer Boy Park. Come join us there!
Aquaculture: The Brewster Aquaculture Association: There are 10 active sea farms with over
20 individuals continuing to produce that delectable bivalve the “Brewster Oyster” and distribute
to local restaurants and seafood retailers. Raised on the unique tidal flat environment of Cape
Cod Bay, the distinct flavor of a Brewster Oyster (Crassostrea virginica), is due to these pristine
waters, which give a definitive "bite". Oysters are filter feeders, using gills to filter plankton and
other nutrients from the water, filtering up to five liters of water per hour. Thanks to the largest
tidal range this side of the Bay of Fundy, Brewster oysters enjoy two regular feedings of pristine,
nutrient-rich water every day. These Oysters are hand selected by size and appearance for the
raw bar market. Three years of sorting, sizing and transplanting produces an oyster for market.
They are harvested larger, more robust than the state minimum. This size, plus a defined cup, sets
the “Brewster Oyster” apart.
This year’s harvest was 410,250, compared to 358,980 oysters in 2016, an overall increase of
14%. From one grant holder: “There were no significant events during the period, no significant
storms, vandalism or gear loss with some minor gear issues during nor’easters. About 600
visitors visited the grant area during the season-informal ecotourism. Dog numbers were down
considerably, thankfully. Biofouling with algae was the main impediment to oyster production.”

and preserve open space and clean water, vital to cranberry growing. info@cranberries.org
2017 was a year of erratic weather events/climate change, affecting color development and fruit
quality. Sustainability will depend on growers’ ability to adapt to changing conditions and situations
with a “new normal” for harvesting, up to Thanksgiving instead of ending in early November. Overall,
yield production was down, quality was up. The drought of 2016 was a significant contributor to
the poor yield of 2017. Some had the best fruit quality in years; possibly due to favorable weather
conditions.
There are approx. 51 acres of cranberry bogs in Brewster. The 2017 crop yielded a state-
wide average of approx. 130 barrels per acre (440-540 cranberries = pound, 44,000-54,000
cranberries=100 lb. barrel. State average production was down about 14 %. For more information,

REPORT OF THE ALEWIFE COMMITTEE
This past year saw a first for the alewife committee in that we installed an electronic fish
counter. In the past, the APCC has visually counted the herring, this has allowed us to
compare the numbers from year to year. However, we have always known that the fish
travel at night and these numbers were not reflected in the APCC's count. The new electronic
counter records all fish that pass through the counting tubes, day or night. The new fish counter
has some bugs to be worked out but the Division of Marine Fisheries is working on that. The
counter has to be downloaded daily and that is being done by Alewife committee volunteers;
thank you all.
Sadly, the numbers of fish returning to our run is down. For all of the community concern and
all of the volunteer time spent our fish are being taken by the off shore herring fishery as an
inconsequential catch. Our river herring swim with the sea run herring and it doesn't take much
to wipe out entire schools of our fish. There are several groups of people working on this problem
but these types of changes take time. We will keep you posted as changes are made.
I'd like to take this time to thank all APCC volunteers, all Americorp volunteers, and all towns
people who so unselfishly give of their time. Lastly, I'd like to thank people of the Town of Brewster
for your support on the Town meeting floor.

REPORT OF THE ALL CITIZENS ACCESS COMMITTEE
The mission of the All Citizens Access Committee is to advise and guide the town of Brewster
and the general public regarding issues of accessibility in accordance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act. In keeping with its mission, the ACAC has been planning and working
to improve accessibility in various areas with members of town departments and committees
including, Patrick Ellis, Superintendent of the Department of Public Works, Chris Miller, Director
of Natural Resources, Mike Embury, Town Administrator, Donna Kalinick, Assistant Town
Administrator, Mark O’Brien, Director of Operations of Captains Golf Course, Ellen Bearse,
Brewster Recreation Director and Cynthia Bingham liaison from the Brewster Select Board.
This year should see the completion of Phase 2 of the accessibility project at Captain’s Golf
course with installation of handicap push buttons at the Galley Grill and Pro Shop. Monies have
been incombered for installation of an accessible pathway and viewing platform at Paine’s Creek
Beach. Included in the project is a shed to house a beach wheelchair. The ACAC has also
collaborated with Brewster Recreation in a project to install accessible walkways and viewing
platforms at the Freeman’s Recreational Fields.
The Access Committee continues to work to improve accessibility in the town of Brewster.
Currently the group is initiating plans for playground upgrades and accessible pathways at public
venues in town. This past year, the ACAC has welcomed Mary Haynes as a new member to
the committee. The Brewster All Citizens Access Committee always seeks new members and
welcomes any input from the community.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
As the appointed Animal Inspector of Barns it is my responsibility to conduct the Annual
Animal Census for the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources. I had the
pleasure of visiting the 55 permitted locations in Town where animals are kept in order to
tally the numbers and types of domestic animals and to observe the animal’s environment and
general well being. This information is critical to pinpointing locations of animals on computer-
generated maps of towns and counties to assist in planning any disease control or natural disaster
response. The Animal Census conducted this fall revealed the following:
• Alpaca 10 • Cattle 7
• Chicken 846 • Donkey 3
• Goat 39 • Game Bird 120
• Horse 200 • Mini Donkey 3
• Mini Horses 1 • Pigeon 10
• Peacock 2 • Pony 3
• Rabbit 20 • Sheep 25
• Swine 18 • Turkey 70
• Waterfowl 87
I would like to extend a special thanks to Lynda Brogden Burns, Animal Control Officer and the
Brewster Police Department for their continued support.
Respectfully submitted,
Sherrie McCullough, Animal Inspector of Barns
REPORT OF THE BGTV VIDEO SERVICES COORDINATOR
This is to summarize accomplishments and progress in Brewster Government Television’s
(BGTV) development for the year 2017. Essentially my services to the Town of Brewster
encompass the production, publishing, and distribution of video and photographic content to
Brewster residents and nonresidents and staff via BGTV, the town’s web site, social media sites,
and other local and regional cable channels. A Cable franchise fund from the town’s agreement
with Comcast provides the funding of equipment and personnel to facilitate and operate BGTV.
As always I would like to acknowledge and commend the Board of Selectmen, Town Administration,
Town Department Heads, and the many other town boards, committees, volunteers and residents
who submit themselves on a regular basis to being videotaped for the sake of broadcasting on
cable TV to facilitate a transparent process of open government for the citizens of Brewster.
BGTV and the additional access provided on the web for video content are a productive means in
streamlining the legislative process for residents and seasonal residents alike.
All the following programming statistics are related to the time period Jan. 1st, 2017, to Dec. 31st,
2017.
• The town paid JP Ludwig Consulting Services $71,487.79 for 1,289.25 hours of contract
services for the calendar year in 2017. I also subcontracted a total of $4,926.50 from the amount
above for assistance in operations and production.
136
• The town produced 249 (compared to 253 in 2016) first-run programs
(the programs J.P. Ludwig Consulting produced for the town) that aired a total of 1744 times.
Add that to the programs produced elsewhere, the County, State, other towns, PSAs, repeats from
past years, etc., and overall there was a little over 3,015 hours of programming other than the
Electronic Bulletin Board on BGTV in 2017.
• Board of Selectmen - 25 first-run programs that aired 218 times
• Finance Committee - 23 first-run programs that aired 98 times
• Planning Board - 22 first-run programs that aired 111 times
• Conservation Commission – 24 first-run programs that aired 123 times
• Brewster School Committee - 11 first-run programs that aired 71 times
• Town Meetings - 2 first-run programs that aired 20 times
• Board of Health - 17 first-run programs that aired 84 times
• Zoning Board of Appeals - 12 first-run programs that aired 51 times
• Golf Commission - 10 first-run programs that aired 54 times
• Brewster Ladies Library - 22 first-run programs that aired 186 times
• Stony Brook Elementary & Eddy School s - 5 first-run programs that aired 61 times
• Specials and Events – 16 first-run programs that aired 341 times
• Nauset Regional School Committee - 17 first-run programs that aired 92 times
• Other Meetings - 57 first-run programs that aired 313 times
Lower Cape TV (LCTV) has really been stepping up their productions of local programs in
2017. In 2017 LCTV produced 54 programs that were used on BGTV. These were mostly shorts,
Whitecaps games, and short news items of local interest. LCTV has also partnered with the town
on producing PSAs directly related to informing the public about issues in Brewster. The cable
franchise fund from the town’s agreement with Comcast helps provide the funding of equipment
and personnel to facilitate and operate LCTV along with other Outer Cape towns’ funds.
• Barnstable County - 74 first-run programs that aired 229 times that included: Barnstable
County Assembly of Delegates, County Commissioners, Cape Cod Commission, and a few others.
• Time Machine, which consists of government-produced archive programs downloaded
from Archive.org – 45 first-run programs that aired 225 times.
The numbers mentioned above do not include live broadcasts, or the numerous PSAs (Public
Service Announcements) aired on BGTV. Also worth noting are the numerous announcements
that are shown on the Electronic Bulletin Board (EBB) describing events in town going on at places
like the Council on Aging, Ladies’ Library, Town Hall, etc.
All of BGTV programing is archived not only on the cloud-based platform Earth Channel, but also
on a large storage server at town hall. There is also another backup of all these programs on hard
drives in the vault at town hall.
For those interested in seeing a more detailed report for 2017 BGTV programming including stats,
pie charts, graphs, etc. they are available in great detail: Login to the BGTV user account for the
BGTV Network.

Earth Channel 2017 Statistics:
The Earth Channel platform on the town web site allows easier access through better organization
and search abilities for on-demand programs and is compatible to all iOS devices, smart phones,
PCs, iPad, iPhone, Droid, etc. It also has reporting abilities (analytics) so data can be gathered for
analysis. Maintaining the Earth Channel system for the town is part of my job description. There
were a total of 13,564 (compared to 12,451 in 2016) on demand sessions that break down as
follows with last year’s numbers in parenthesis:
• Selectmen – 3063 (2298)
• Cons Com – 2021 (2063)
• Planning – 1275 (1557)
• Fin Com – 729 (1290)
• Health – 482 (655)
• NRSC – 431 (228)
• Town Meeting – 745 (290)
• School Committee – 1080 (1403)
• ZBA – 567 (435)
• Ladies Library – 76 (207)
• School Events – 33 (188)
• Community Events – 130 (188)
• Other Government Meetings – 2600 (1812)
One may notice that there is a fluctuation in the viewing numbers in comparison to last year. Overall
the on-demand sessions are up with some meetings and events trending downward. Various
factors such as a lack of contentious issues and an increase/decrease in interests of certain
committees and boards over other government meetings may contribute to these fluctuations.
Town of Brewster Vimeo Channel:
It is also worth noting that most field productions are now viewed on-line on the town Vimeo
channel. There HD video versions of special town and school events and programs produced for
Brewster Ladies Library can be found. There were 3,946 plays of programs in 2017 on the Town’s
Vimeo channel. Currently 163 programs produced by the Town over the past four years reside
there: www.vimeo.com/brewsterma
Some other 2017 highlights worth mentioning:
• 2017 field production programming included: Brewster in Bloom Parade, 9/11
Commemoration, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, events at Stony Brook Elementary School,
authors, lectures and concerts at Brewster Ladies Library, and special events and meetings at
various locations in Brewster.
• Some technical notes: The Broadcast Pix production unit in the control room at town hall,
purchased new in 2016, failed three times in 2017. It had to be returned to the manufacturer twice
for servicing. Fortunately the last time this happened was right before the beginning of the holiday
season and the unit was returned and reinstalled without BGTV production being interrupted, but
it certainly made for a stressful week. On behalf of the town I requested a diagnostic evaluation of
why this happened to a brand new machine. As of this writing the manufacturer has yet to respond.
The Broadcast Pix is the heart of the system for production at town hall.
• In a collaborative effort with the town, Lower Cape TV, and the Brewster Whitecaps, I was
paid by the town to be a technical director on several Brewster Whitecaps home games. These
games were broadcast live on LCTV and Youtube with most of the equipment and labor (paid
interns and LCTV staff) provided by LCTV and a mobile production trailer provided by Larry Greeley,
President of Lower Cape Community Access TV. This project, three-plus years in development,
was once again a great success and well received. It’s a great way to bring more publicity for the
town in general, especially since the Whitecaps were Cape Cod League Champions in 2017.
138
• BGTV has an on line video file sharing folder, G Channel Cape Cod, that allows for
distributing programs of broader local interest to other Outer Cape channels including Lower
Cape TV Channel 99, NRSD Channel 22, and government cable Channel 18 in the towns of
Orleans, Eastham, Truro and Provincetown. Also the town is subscribing to MassMediaExchange
and besides being able to download programs from the county I also upload programs of regional
interests for viewing.
• 2017 continued with the entire in-house production of audio/video of Spring and Fall Town
Meetings. Once again I was assisted in the productions with the exemplary skills of Gabriel Morton.
Warrant articles were summarized in BGTV programs by Town Administrator Mike Embury, before
the meetings took place and aired numerous times on BGTV and were available on the web
before each meeting to better inform the citizenry of the issues to be debated.
• The town’s Facebook and Twitter feeds continue to steadily increase in followers. 945
Facebook followers and 408 followers on Twitter. Certainly this is far from being viral, but in a town
with a population just under 10, 000 people I think it is notable.
• BGTV is web streaming at http://brewster-ma.gov/documents-a-archives/channel-
18-livestream available to the public 24/7. All programs that the town produces are available
at http://brewster-ma.gov/government-channel-18 and are also simultaneously posted on the
town’s official social media. Twitter: @brewstercapecod and Facebook: Town of Brewster
Cape Cod
Looking to 2018:
In late 2017 I was awarded another three-year contract with the town. Thank you Brewster for your
continued patronage of my services!
BGTV will continue to evolve and improve in 2018. I make it a point of keeping the town TV facility
and equipment current with the most viable and available constantly evolving technology and
software. I also invest in my own equipment and software at home for my own business and this
is a benefit to the town as well, without additional capital expense to the town.
In 2018 I would like to see the town move towards broadcasting town meeting live on the web.
I continue to have production assistance from time to time and the people that I hire to assist me
are trustworthy and reliable. They have blended in well in BGTV operations and I appreciate their
professionalism, so a word of thanks to Gabriel Morton, Suzanne Bryan, Katharine Huntley, and
Eli and Monica Woods.
BGTV's electronic realm is an invaluable tool for those working within town government and
provides the opportunity for residents and nonresidents alike to stay up to date on all the various
endeavors of the citizenry and municipal government in the overall participation in our democracy.

increase of 5.55% over Fiscal Year 2017. The FY18 tax rate became $8.26, down from $8.39
in FY17. The median value of a single family house in Brewster for FY18 is $417,350, up from
$397,700 in FY17. Utilizing those medians and the respective fiscal year tax rates, the tax bill for
the median single-family property rose $110.61 from $3,336.70 in FY17 to $3,447.31 in FY18.
The Town of Brewster had 8,297 taxable real estate parcels and 3,757 taxable personal
property accounts as of January 1, 2017

retirement, and welcome his replacement, James Gallagher. Mr. Gallagher is returning to the
Town of Brewster after most recently serving as Assistant Assessor/Field Appraiser for the Town
of Dennis.
Thank you to the Assessing Department staff, who continue their excellent service to the taxpayers
of Brewster, real estate professionals and others who use the resources of the office. Thank you
also to our consultant Paul Kapinos, and the data collectors and staff at pk Assessment Systems
and pk Valuation Group, whose professionalism and skill help ensure the fairness and accuracy of
our values. The cooperation and assistance of all of the other town departments, as well as the
Select Board and the Finance Committee, is also greatly appreciated.

REPORT OF THE CAPE COD COMMISSION
Keeping a Special Place Special
In its 26th year, The Cape Cod Commission (CCC) works toward maintaining a healthy balance
between economic progress and environmental vitality. "Keeping a special place special"
describes its mission, to protect the region's unique qualities. The 19-member appointed
Commission board represents the region and provides oversight for a staff of 40 professionals.
I. WATER QUALITY INITIATIVES:
Wastewater: The Implementation Report for the Cape Cod Water Quality Management Plan
released Nov. 2017; highlighted progress toward water quality goals since plan certification and
approval in 2015; outlined future actions to achieve improved water quality; updated watershed
improvements made in 53 embayment watersheds.
The CCC proposed changes to its enabling regulations for review of Local Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plans, to allow for staff plan review and executive director sign-off,
providing for a more efficient, timely review. Action on this amended language is expected in early
2018 by the Barnstable County Board of Regional Commissioners and Assembly of Delegates.
capecodcommission.org/208
Stormwater: The CCC was awarded $50,000 to create a stormwater management coalition to help
communities meet stormwater management requirements. Goals include inventory of management
resources, a needs assessment, collaborative strategies, a set of policies and standard operating
procedures. Storm-water managers met to further define the role of the coalition and potential
structure for a regional management entity.
Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative: June 2017, The County Commissioners and
Assembly of Delegates approved an ordinance re-establishing the Cape Cod Water Protection
Collaborative, with the CCC serving as administrative and technical staff. Serving as Advisory
Committee to the 208 Regional Water Quality Management Plan, it reviews and advises on the
208 Plan, tracks town implementation, supports water quality initiatives, technical assistance,
legislative recommendations, establishment of the Regional Wastewater Management Plan, in
conjunction with County staff.
OneCape: The Commission partnered with The Nature Conservancy to host a fourth Regional
Wastewater Summit which drew over 400 attendees over two days. Day one focused on progress
made toward implementation of the Cape Cod Water Quality Management Plan (208 Plan). At
the Cape Cod Selectmen/Councilors Association meeting that evening, Leo Cakounes, chair of
the County Commissioners provided an overview of county services, asking elected town officials
to complete a survey to help guide future county services/decisions. Day two included housing,
coastal resiliency, the Cape’s economy.
II. RESILIENT CAPE COD:
The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $780K grant
to the CCC and partners to develop a public program to review environmental and socio-
economic effects of local and regional coastal resiliency strategies. In December 2017, the CCC
and planning partners initiated a regional stakeholder process to assist with development of a
decision-making planning tool. This GIS-based tool translates technical data into understandable
and actionable language, estimates loss of individual and government assets, communicates
adaptation strategies, costs and benefits of those strategies, communicates a need for action and
engages the public in site-specific strategies.
143
III. REGULATORY PROGRAM-DEVELOPMENTS OF REGIONAL IMPACT (DRIs):
24 projects were reviewed and approved that presented regional issues identified in the Act, e.g.
water quality, traffic flow, community character, affordable housing, open space, natural resources,
and economic development.
IV. REGIONAL POLICY PLAN UPDATE (RPP):
Adopted as a County ordinance, the RPP serves as the CCC’s regulatory and planning framework.
The Update, anticipated in 2018, is expected to simplify the CCC approach and align its activities
more closely to the purposes defined in the 1990 enabling Act. The work to update the RPP
continues. capecodcommission.org/rppupdate.
V. STRATEGIC INFORMATION OFFICE:
OpenGov Performance Management Platform: With OpenGov and participating towns, the CCC
launched a new cloud-based transparency and performance management platform, which allows
communities to track and measure financial accountability and benchmarks. The public-facing
side of the platform provides transparency in how money is collected, allocated, spent. Towns
can increase government accountability, improve access to important public information; simplify
budget planning, improve internal data management; all accessible to residents, officials and
administrators.
Brewster is among the communities working with the Commission and OpenGov to create
an online data portal: capecodcommission.org/opengov
Regional Wide Area Network (RWAN): In June 2017 the County Commissioners agreed to a six-
month extension of RWAN through OpenCape. RWAN provides high-speed fiber Internet access
to participating communities; with 13 RWAN communities and 24 connection points. The three-
year contract was to expire in June. The extension was to provide time for CCC and County
officials to negotiate with OpenCape/other vendors.
V. PLANNING/COMMUNITY DESIGN:
With expertise in land use planning, zoning, natural resources, historic preservation, housing,
and other areas: Planning staff works to improve the function and character of communities,
manage growth and protect sensitive environments. Staff plays a major role in RPP updates, Local
Comprehensive Plans, Growth Incentive Zones, Districts of Critical Planning Concern, regional
and corridor-wide transportation studies, resource protection efforts; the Ocean Management
Plan, the 208 Plan, hazard mitigation plans.
VI. CAPE COD COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (CEDS)/
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:
The Commission completed the third annual CEDS; an update on progress toward identified
projects; four core economic development principles: Protect and build on the region's competitive
advantage, use resources efficiently; foster economic balance and diversity; and expand
opportunity and regional wealth. capecodcommission.org/ceds
Second Home Survey: To better understand the role of seasonal homes, the CCC conducted a
second survey of second home owners; asking about their homes, how they use them now and in
the future, participate in the region’s economy. The first survey was completed in 2008. The most
recent was conducted in 2017. 6,448 second homeowners received written surveys; 1,300 were
returned. Findings will inform land-use planning, housing policy, economic development priorities,
infrastructure needs.
144
Regional Economic Strategy Executive Team (RESET) Projects: The Commission provides
technical assistance to towns through RESET projects. Staff members collaborate with town
leaders on planning projects to promote economic development, part of the implementation
strategy for the CEDS. www.capecodcommission.org/ceds
VII. AFFORDABLE HOUSING:
Housing Market Analysis: A study prepared for the CCC ties a lack of housing that meets the life
stage and income needs, to a significant increase in cost-burdened households over the next
10 years. The study found that high demand for seasonal units and the housing “monoculture”
of single family homes constrains options for those looking to enter the market and/or downsize.
The study uses economic, demographic, workforce data to paint a picture of existing housing,
including year-round and rentals. The study projects that without changes in the housing supply to
meet life stage preferences, more than half of year-round households could experience housing
cost burdens by 2025.
VIII. LOCAL ACTIVITIES:
Representation on the Commission allows Brewster to participate in setting regional policy,
regulatory and funding priorities at Regional, State, and Federal levels and advocate for Town
interests in land use planning. Brewster specific activities included:
HOUSING: Brewster Woods Chapter 40B Affordable Housing Development: The CCC comment
letter indicated it met goals outlined in the RPP, with recommendations on transportation-related
items, housing, natural resources and water resources.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION: Historic districts are a popular preservation tool, but not always
successful. Local historical commissions and other groups interested in protecting historic resources
can find far more success through a balanced approach, unique to their community, based on a
wide range of tools. That was among the key points made at a May 23 lecture sponsored by the
CCC, MA Historical Commission and the Brewster Historical Commission. Sarah Korjeff, CCC
Preservation Specialist’s presentation included a handout highlighting a historic home inventory,
with a town-by-town look at building age based on assessing data and inventories of the MA
Cultural Resource data base.
TRANSPORTATION: Traffic Counting Program: The Commission’s Transportation Staff conducted
annual summer traffic counts at the following roads in 2017: Route 124: Route 137; Route 39;
Route 6A; Airline Road; Millstone Road and Satucket Road. capecodcommission.org/counts/
WATER RESOURCES: PALS (Ponds and Lake Stewards): Staff has coordinated the pond water
quality sampling snapshot program since 2001: Blueberry, Cahoon, Canoe, Cliff, Cobbs, Elbow,
Flax, Greenland, Griffiths, Higgins, Little Cliff, Mill, Myricks, Pine, Seymour, Schoolhouse, Sheep,
Slough, Smalls, Sols, Upper Mill and Walkers Ponds.
WASTEWATER & STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Regional Stormwater Management – MS4 Permit: The CCC is working with the County
Department of Health and the Environment, the County Procurement Officer, and the Association to
Preserve Cape Cod to identify opportunities for the 15 towns of Cape Cod to adopt Regionalization/
Shared Services and Best Practices to identify efficient and cost-effective means to meet the
Massachusetts MS4 permit requirements.
Section 208 Plan Update 2017 Implementation Report: In addition to the Implementation
Report, which outlined progress to date and offered 21 new recommendations, the CCC prepared
updated watershed reports for 53 embayment watersheds. These included all shared in some part
by the Town of Brewster: Pleasant Bay, Herring River, Namskaket Creek, Little Namskaket Creek
and Quivett Creek.
145
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)
• Supported all of the above as necessary
• Updated Brewster Open Space data with the Compact
• Provided maps to the Open Space Committee
• Provided support for on-going pond studies
Brewster faces many challenges as we approach capacity. How we preserve and protect what we
cherish -- the quiet rural beauty, historic character, wild-lands, the water supply, watershed areas
and critically now…how we deal with community housing needs, wastewater and stormwater, as
well as climate change and coastal resilience issues, will determine the character and future of our
community and the entire Cape region.
As your representative to the Cape Cod Commission, I thank you for the privilege of working on
behalf of our community in order to maintain a strong voice for Brewster on these important local
and Cape-wide issues.

Elizabeth Graham Taylor, Brewster Delegate
REPORT OF THE CAPE COD PATHWAYS COMMITTEE
The Pathways Committee was created in January of 1998 to establish Brewster’s section of
the Cape Cod Pathway. Utilizing existing trails, ancient ways, cart paths, town roads and new
trails, this pathway will connect to walking trails in the towns of Dennis, Orleans and Harwich
as part of a network of trails spanning the Cape. Its mission includes creating, coordinating and
developing other walking trails in the Town.
The Committee continues its work refining proposed trail routes. The trail is now largely complete
(except for some unmarked connecting sections in the middle of Brewster and Harwich) to the
State parking lot at the end of Underpass Road and Route 137 where it will merge with the rail trail
to continue to Orleans.
The seven mile section from the Dennis line to Route 137 at Underpass Road has been plotted
using GPS and is being marked with trail signs. The existing trail is now one of the longest on the
Cape.
We experienced delays in marking trails due to restocking our inventory of signs. The Committee
gives its thanks to Chris Miller and the Natural Resources Department for funding our signage
needs. This spring the Natural Resources staff will review the trail layout and offer suggestions
and help in making the trail complete.
The Cape Cod Pathways’ intention is to provide the walker with a variety of experiences unique
to Cape Cod while avoiding heavily populated areas as much as possible. Since the center and
eastern end of Brewster are more densely populated than the western parts of town, we are still
trying to finish our connection to Nickerson Park from Underpass Road at Rt. 137. We welcome
suggestions from residents who enjoy walking on how to best connect our path.
In 2013 the Charge of the Brewster Pathways Committee was amended by the Brewster
Selectmen to allow minimal use of the Cape Cod Rail Trail to help connect the Pathways Trail into
Nickerson State Park. In the spring of 2017, the Select Board requested that Pathways and the
town Bikeways Committee meet to see if their goals align enough so they can be combined into a
146
single committee. Pathways sent a representative to the Bikeways November meeting and more
interaction will be coming in the near future. During 2017, members of the committee continued to
lead walks as part of the Cape Cod Pathways Walking Weekend and Cape Walk programs. Noelle
Bramer resigned from the Committee in the Spring of 2017 and we are looking for a replacement.
Thank you, Noelle, for your contribution to the Committee.
The Pathways Committee continues to coordinate with other Brewster Town Committees and work
with the Brewster Conservation Trust to assist in our publicity and help establish and coordinate
walking trails in the town. The Pathways Committee specifically works closely with the Director
of Natural Resources and the Conservation Commission and we welcome all public participation
at our meetings.

REPORT OF THE CAPE LIGHT COMPACT
Cape Light Compact JPE is an intergovernmental organization consisting of the 21 towns on
Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard and Duke’s County. The Compact’s mission is to serve
our 200,000 customers through the delivery of proven energy efficiency programs, effective
consumer advocacy, and renewable competitive electricity supply.
Effective July 1, 2017, the Cape Light Compact reorganized and reconstituted itself as a joint
powers entity pursuant to Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40 Section 4A1/2, becoming the
first joint powers entity in Massachusetts. Reorganizing as a joint powers entity protects member
towns from potential liabilities and mandates greater financial accountability through expanded
reporting requirements to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue and member Towns, and
designation of Treasury functions to an independent entity.
POWER SUPPLY
Electricity pricing in 2017 was less volatile than prior years due to relatively stable natural gas
prices, which resulted in lower and more stable electricity pricing overall. Worth noting is that,
150
unlike in years past, residential and commercial pricing for June through December was higher
than for January through June due to increased capacity market costs beginning in June 2017.
The capacity market is managed by New England’s bulk power grid operator, ISO New England,
and is designed to ensure that enough electric generation capacity is built and available to provide
power when called upon to meet peak demand. Capacity market costs are paid for by all New
England electricity customers through their power supply prices.
The most notable change in the Compact’s power supply program is that, in January 2017, the
Compact went 100% green! Being a green aggregation means that 100% of Compact’s power
supply customers’ annual electricity usage is met with renewable energy certificates (RECs). Each
REC represents the generation of 1 megawatt hour (1,000 kilowatt hours) of electricity produced by
a renewable resource, such as wind or solar. By retiring RECs to match the Compact’s customers’
usage, Compact customers are financially supporting renewable energy resources, including
resources located on Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts.
The Compact also selected a new residential supplier, NextEra Energy Services of Massachusetts
(NextEra), who has been serving the Compact’s commercial customers since 2014, which means
that all of the Compact’s residential, commercial, and industrial customers are now served by
NextEra. In addition to being the Compact’s green aggregation supplier, NextEra pledged to
deposit all premiums paid for RECs, plus their supplier and retail fees (expected to total over
$3 million per year), into a trust fund to be used solely for the development of new renewable
energy resources. Now, by purchasing electricity through the Compact, all Compact power supply
customers are supporting renewable energy and acting locally to combat climate change. The
Compact is proud that our residential price under the new green aggregation program was lower
than Eversource’s basic residential pricing for all of 2017.
At the regional market level, despite stable pricing this year, New England continues to face
electricity pricing challenges associated with the limited pipeline capacity that delivers natural
gas to electric generators, which supply over fifty percent of New England’s electricity. The
pipeline constraint is only an issue for a limited number of hours in the winter, when natural gas
is also used for heating homes, creating a supply shortage and increased pricing for generators,
thereby increasing the price for every megawatt hour they produce. Until such time as this issue is
addressed, either through additional infrastructure, demand reduction or other targeted programs,
the possibility of future high winter pricing remains, and as such, consumers should still expect
seasonal pricing fluctuations for the foreseeable future.
As of December 2017, the Compact had approximately 6,204 electric accounts in the Town
of Brewster on its power supply.
CONSUMER ADVOCACY
Since 1997, Cape Light Compact has advocated for the ratepayers of Cape Cod and Martha’s
Vineyard at the local and state level. In 2017, the Compact continued its focus on grid modernization,
reviewing the plans submitted by the utilities in August 2015. The Compact was granted full
intervenor status in 2016 in Eversource’s grid modernization plan review docket at the Department
of Public Utilities (DPU), which allowed the Compact to take an active role in the adjudicatory
review process of the plan. This included retaining experts to analyze Eversource’s plan and
present expert witness testimony, submitting information requests to Eversource, and submitting
briefs. The Compact expects the DPU to issue a decision on the matter in 2018.
In January 2017, Eversource filed a rate case with the DPU, which is the first fully litigated rate
case since the 1980’s. This will determine the charges that Eversource is allowed to impose on
the distribution side of the electric bill, which will affect all residents and businesses on Cape Cod
and Martha’s Vineyard. The Compact was granted full party status in this proceeding as well. The
Compact has several concerns with the proposal, as it decreases customers’ ability to manage
their bills by imposing increased customer charges and introducing demand charges for customers
151
that did not previously have demand charges. Increased customer charges and demand charges
decrease the incentive to participate in energy efficiency programs and install behind the meter
generation. Eversource sought a 10.5% return on equity as part of the rate case, which is higher
than the national average for a regulated utility. In their revised filing on June 1, 2017, Eversource
proposed to shift approximately $30 million per year of costs from Western MA customers (and
Eastern MA commercial customers) on to Eastern MA residential customers, which includes the
Cape and Vineyard. The Compact opposed this shift, because charges incurred to serve those
customers should be paid for by those customers and not subsidized by Eastern MA residential
customers.
On November 30, 2017, the DPU issued the first rate case Order which allowed a 10% return on
equity, approved energy storage pilot projects in Wellfleet and Martha’s Vineyard, and approved an
electric vehicle charging infrastructure buildout, among other decisions. The DPU did not approve
the other aspects of Eversource’s proposed Grid Modernization Base Commitment, instead stating
that those would be decided as part of the grid modernization docket, a decision consistent with
separation of the rate case and grid modernization dockets that the Compact and other parties
advocated for. All rate design-related issues, including the Western to Eastern MA cost shifting,
increased customer and demand charges, and the Monthly Minimum Reliability Charge for net-
metered customers will be decided in the second Order, expected by the end of December 2017.
The Compact will inform stakeholders of the DPU decisions on the rate case once the review of
the decisions is completed.
The Compact also participated in regulatory proceedings at the DPU related to the retail electric
market, pushing for policies that promote a competitive power supply market while ensuring
common-sense protections for consumers.

for complete information.*
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 the monthly customer “energy conservation” charge on each customers’ electric bill, which
is multiplied by the number of kilowatt hours used during the month ($0.02301 for residential
customers and $0.01823 for commercial and industrial customers).
Other Cape Light Compact efforts include:
• Energy Consulting, Lighting upgrades and other energy saving measures were performed
at several town buildings including Stony Brook Elementary School, Water Department and new
Fire and Rescue Station.
• Cape Light Compact continues to offer support for energy education to the Nauset School
District and this year, all Nauset elementary schools participated in the Compact’s Be Energy
Efficient Smart (BEES) program at the 5th grade level. BEES classroom support materials are
aligned with the state NGSS and STEM initiatives and teacher workshops are offered free through
the Compact’s Energy Education Outreach program.
• 22 ENERGY STAR® qualified homes were built in the Town of Brewster.

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSION
The Commission met in January and asked the DPW to post new “No Dogs” signs in all
cemeteries. In addition the Commissioners were advised that the Selectmen had approved
new Green Burial Brochures. Green Burials are now permitted in a special laid out section
of Brewster Memorial Cemetery.
At the February meeting it was noted that many branches and brush should be picked up by the
DPW in Pine Grove Cemetery and a tree should be removed.
In March the Commission met formally and at a working meeting to approve the request of the First
Parish Church to allow them to paint the back of the of the church, which would require access
to the Breakwater Cemetery. The Commission allowed the work to be done with the requirement
that he stones would be safe guarded from paint splatter and protected from other damage. It was
also noted that the church and subcontractor must submit certificates of insurance acceptable to
the town.
After May, the cemetery Commission was inactive due to the resignations of 3 members, including
the Chair, which eliminated a quorum. As a result the Commission currently does not have
scheduled meetings.
REPORT OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
During Fiscal Year 2017 the Brewster Chamber of Commerce continued its campaign
promoting Brewster as Cape Cod’s Ecotourism Destination – a unique community with the
environmental and cultural assets to support the claim. The organization embraced the
Town’s efforts to create a “Vision Plan” that could support this ecotourism campaign.
During FY17, the chamber continued to offer programs to businesses and the community in
addition to running the town information center daily during June, July and August.
• The Chamber was represented on the Brewster Vision Advisory Group (BVAG) by Carol
Edmondson, Cape Cod Village Realty; and executive director Kyle Hinkle participated as a
facilitator for 2 of the 3 BVAG workshops held in FY17.
• The Chamber’s website was re-designed to a more “modern” layout. A complete review of
key words was undertaken and a new search category – “Live & Work” – was added. This section
includes information about local and county government, education, the Council on Aging and
other resources that appeal to someone considering Brewster as their new home.
• “Everyone (Love) Brewster, We’re Filled with Local Color!” continues as our advertising
slogan, placed in a number of publications including the Best of Brewster, Brewster Whitecaps and
Cape Cod Sea Camps Alumni magazines among others.
• “Best of Brewster” magazine celebrated its 7th anniversary. This life style publication is
mailed to all Brewster tax payers including part-time residents at their primary address. It features
local businesses, stories about the town and is available at all of our inns, B&B’s, campgrounds,
resorts, rental properties and advertising businesses.
• “Best of Brewster” TV show celebrated its 6th full year. It can be seen on local cable access
channel 99. This talk show features businesses from Brewster and across Cape Cod, and people
of interest from local government. Over 70 business people have been interviewed over the 6
years the show has been running along with town officials and committee members.

• 6th Annual Green Halloween, in collaboration with the CC Museum of Natural History
and media sponsor 102.3 The Dunes attracted more than 650 people to enjoy a safe Halloween
celebration. Businesses donated non-edible treats for the children attending.
• The 10th annual Brewster for the Holidays, the 3-day town-wide festival held the first
weekend in December, provides holiday fun for the young and the young at heart while raising
money to support a local mission-based organization working with Brewster children. Through
the sale of the annual commemorative ornament (Elijah Cobb House by Eileen Smith) in FY17
Brewster Historical Society’s Youth Enrichment Program received $1,500.
• The “We Referred You” program is very popular with chamber members who look forward
to know that their business was referred by chamber staff. Only chamber members are referred!
• BCC and the four other Lower Cape Chambers present the 9th Annual Lower Cape Home
& Garden Show with more than 85 vendors and 3,500 attendees
• Brewster in Bloom celebrated its 31st anniversary. The craft show continues to sell out with
92 craft vendors; town-wide support for the festival continues. $5,000 from proceeds of fundraising
goes to the Brewster in Bloom grant program providing scholarships for Brewster students.
• BCC continues as a partner of the five Lower Cape Chambers to market the region as “old
Cape Cod”, and with LC3 (Local Cape Chambers Collaborative) working on issues that impact
businesses across Cape Cod.
The Mission of the Brewster Chamber of Commerce (BCC) is to strengthen, promote and support
the economic feasibility, cultural richness, environmental sensitivity and social needs of Brewster.
The Chamber encourages the spirit of fair trade and good business practices. This mission is met
through a variety of programs and events undertaken by the Chamber including but not limited
to the Member Advertising Program, Brewster in Bloom, and the Lower Cape Home & Garden
Show. The two, part-time year–round professional staffers facilitate the work plan of the Board of
Directors and assist Chamber volunteers. Three seasonal part-time staffers work for 14 weeks in
the summer to assist in providing visitor services.
REPORT OF THE COASTAL COMMITTEE
In 2017 the final edition of the Brewster Coastal Adaptation Strategy was presented to the Town.
The Strategy will be used by the Coastal Committee in developing a Brewster Coastal Resource
Management Plan (BCRMP). The Strategy lays out planning scenarios for sea level rise and
storm surge that will be used in the development of the Plan. Additionally the Strategy includes
guiding principles for future planning and projects along Brewster’s coast.
In January two new members were appointed to the Coastal Committee bringing membership
up to 7. Working with Chris Miller, Director of Brewster’s Department of Natural Resources, the
Committee scheduled the formal presentation of the Coastal Adaptation Strategy to the Board of
Selectmen. The presentation was made by the Town’s consultants, Consensus Building Institute
and Horsley Witten Group. Following this presentation, the Coastal Committee requested that the
Board of Selectmen amend the charge of the Committee consistent with recommendation in the
Strategy. The amendments proposed and accepted by the Board include using the Strategy and
the guiding principles in developing the BCRMP; integrating robust public participation in all phases
of its work; coordinating planning and implementation across institutional boundaries, including
incorporation of climate change and adaptation strategies into policies, plans and regulations;
monitoring changing coastal conditions and evolving community needs and monitoring and
evaluating implemented adaptation strategies
154
The Committee discussed two issues concerning the public’s access to information about proposed
and on-going coastal projects. The Committee developed recommendations for the Board of
Selectmen to consider:
(1) Adding a link to the Town’s website that had information about individual coastal projects;
where they were in the planning and/or implementation phase; background materials on the
projects, including engineered plans and a person to contact for additional information.
(2) Developing criteria for coastal projects that would trigger a pre-regulatory public meeting.
The purposes of the meeting would be to make people aware of the project before it gets to the
regulatory review stage, encourage public participation, and integrate the public's comments into
the plans.
Committee members briefed the Town Planner, the Planning Board and the Conservation
Commission on the content and analyses in the Strategy. Committee members participated in a
Brewster Community Network meeting on the Strategy. The Committee staffed a table at Brewster
Conservation Day and at two of the Brewster Farmer’s Markets showing the Planning Scenario
maps of the Town Landings and soliciting oral and written feedback.
The Committee began work on the BCRMP by reviewing plans from other Cape Cod & Massachusetts
towns, and 5 out of state and discussing the pros and cons of the different approaches. The Town
applied for a grant from the Massachusetts Office Coastal Zone Management to hire a consultant
to assist the Committee with starting to write the management plan. The Town did not receive the
grant funds; however, in October, Town Meeting approved funding this effort. The Town contracted
with Ridley and Associates as the consultant to the Coastal Committee.
The Committee worked with the Brewster Recreation Commission and Waquoit Bay National
Estuarine Research Reserve to develop a survey to gather input from families who visit Brewster
beaches. The survey will be sent out in early 2018. Committee member Abigail Archer began
researching the history of the current Town landings after discussions with the Brewster Historical
Society and the Town Archivist.
At the beginning of 2017, the Brewster Coastal Committee had a full complement of 7 members.
For various reasons James Goodrich resigned in May, Ruth Courtnell in June, and Matt Cannon in
July. After great difficulty recruiting three new members, the Board of Selectmen voted to reduce
the Committee to five.
Respectfully Submitted,
Abigail Archer Pat Hughes, Chair
Mary O’Neil Rachel Hutchinson

REPORT OF THE COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
The Community Preservation Committee is dedicated to the important work of helping make
Brewster a better place to live through support of appropriate projects in Historic Preservation,
Community Housing, Recreation and Open Space Acquisition
Now in its twelfth year, the Brewster Community Preservation Committee (CPC
receives its funding from Brewster taxpayers through a 3% surcharge on local real
estate taxes and a supplemental amount from State government as provided under the
MA Community Preservation Act (CPA). The State government “match" comes from a
small statewide fee on real estate transactions. From 2005-2007 the State provided a
100% match, which percentage has declined ever since. The 2017 match was 24.7%.
When Brewster Town Meeting approved the Community Preservation Bylaw it provided for
expenditures in the following areas:
Open Space Acquisition - 50%
Historic Preservation -10%
Community Housing -10%
Historic, Housing, or Recreation -30%
The CPC reviews applications for funding and considers recommendations from the Open Space
Committee, Recreation and Historic Commissions, the Housing Partnership and the CPC’s own
Housing Sub-Committee before submitting articles for consideration by Town Meeting voters.
Over its history, the CPC has recommended and Town Meeting has approved the following net
expenditures for activities and projects that have been completed or in progress: 24 Historic
Preservation awards totaling over $2.127 million; 13 Community Housing awards totaling $2.214
million; 9 Recreation awards totaling over $772,799; and 18 Open space awards totaling about
$5,643 million. Town Meeting approved $1,112,000 in funding for CPC referred projects in 2017.
Three projects were approved at the May 1, 2017 Town Meeting:
1. Community Housing: $30,000
Part-time Housing Coordinator: This funding has allowed the Town to hire a part-time Housing
Coordinator (approximately 15 hours per week). The position is necessary to provide programmatic
and administrative support to the Town, CPC, the Local Housing Partnership, and members of the
public with the myriad of issues and organizations related to affordable housing and to help the
Town work toward the goal of having at least 10% of its year-round housing stock be designated
as affordable.
Total Project: $30,000
CPC Funding: $30,000
2. Community Housing: $550,000
Brewster Housing Authority- Brewster Woods Project: The Preservation of Affordable Housing
and Housing Assistance Corp. propose to develop 30 new units of affordable rental housing
for family, elderly and disabled residents on property owned by the Brewster Housing Authority.
The development will consist of four interconnected 2-story buildings, which include a common
building. The residences will consist of one, two and three-bedroom apartments with three units
(one of each bedroom type) designed to be fully handicapped-accessible and ADA compliant.
The other units are designed to meet the needs of families with children or residents aging in
156
place with single level living and ample clearances for mobility. All of the units will be affordable to
households at or below 60% of Area Median Income (AMI) as determined by the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development. Seven of the units will be made available to households with
incomes at or below 30% AMI. Any local preference allowed by the Massachusetts Department
of Housing and Community Development will be for individuals and families who live or work in
Brewster.
Total Project: $ 10,500,000
CPC Funding: $550,000
3. Recreation: $100,000
Bikeways Committee: This project will allow the Brewster Bikeways Committee to purchase
and install warning lights at each crossing of the Cape Cod Rail Trail (CCRT), the most popular
recreational biking facility in Brewster. CPA funding for $100,000 will enable the purchase and
installation of the equipment by a licensed contractor at the CCRT crossings at Rt. 124, Rt. 137,
Underpass Road, and Millstone Road. The warning lights are solar-powered and have been
installed at many locations on the CCRT crossings on Cape Cod. The Town’s Department of
Public Works (DPW) will oversee the procurement and installation phases of the project and will
be responsible for maintenance. The total cost of the project is estimated at $129,500. This project
is part of a broader effort to enhance biking in Brewster and part of the re-pavement program by
the Town which includes improvements to CCRT crossings.
Total Project: $129,500
CPC Funding: $100,000
One Project was approved at the November 13, 2017 Fall Town Meeting.
1. Open Space: $432,000
Meetinghouse Road (Borden-Burks) Aquifer Protection Property: This acquisition is a 27 acre
parcel located off Slough Road in West Brewster, within Brewster wellfield buffers to existing
municipal wellfields. This purchase provides protection to a large tract in and of itself, but also
secures a “missing link” in the 100-acre swath of woods the Town has been working to cobble
together for conservation and wellfield protection purposes over the past 20 years. A network of
walking trails already exist on the parcel that will be opened for public use and devoted to links in
the Cape Cod Pathways.
The Town applied for and will be receiving a State L.A.N.D. grant in the amount of $226,343
towards this purchase. We have also approached the Dennis Water District (DWD), the direct
beneficiary of this forest acquisition next to its wellfield, for a financial contribution. Located in
Brewster’s western District of Critical Environmental Concern, these parcels are within the marine
recharge areas for the Herring River and Bass River. This parcel has Town Conservation land on
two sides with the Dennis Water Department wellfields forming the western boundary.
The Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT) is also contributing $50,000 towards this purchase and
will hold the Conservation Restriction. The Town Water Department, Conservation Commission,
Open Space Committee, Selectmen and Town Administrator supported this purchase. The gross
purchase price of $432,000 is about $15,777 per acre, with the offset of the state grant and other
local funds, the final cost is $155,657, or $5,765 per acre. The property will be managed for
conservation, watershed protection and passive recreation
Total Project: $432,000
CPC Funding: $432,000 (final cost $155,657)
CPC inherited an existing land purchase program enacted under prior state legislation providing
for a Cape Cod Land Bank. In addition, the CPC inherited responsibility for a long term bond
issued by Brewster to finance a prior purchase. The Town has issued additional bonds for three
purchases since 2006, but the level of indebtedness on land purchases is relatively unchanged
since the CPC was formed. Bond payments are from CPC open space funds.
157
As a part of acquiring open space parcels, the Town standardly applies for State Land Grants. From
2006 through 2017 Brewster acquired eighteen open space properties (including Conservation
Restrictions) totaling 225.6 acres with a total acquisition price of $11,131,000. State LAND
grants, as well as other funding was secured for these purchases resulting in a net cost of 51%
or $5,643,000, with a final per acre cost of $25,013 Less funding has been available in the last
few years, making individual land grants harder to obtain. However, the Open Space Committee
has worked closely with the BCT and the Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts to foster
partnerships with other conservation trusts, as well as neighboring towns to purchase a number of
properties, resulting in reduced costs to Brewster, even without State LAND grants.
This year Joan Carstanjen and Jeanne Boehm resigned from the Committee. We wish to thank
both of them for the time and energy they contributed to the Committee. We welcomed Diane
Pansire as a new Citizen Representative to the CPC to fill Joan’s vacancy.

REPORT OF THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION
The Brewster Conservation Commission’s guiding paradigm is balancing the use and
development of properties by members of the community while ensuring the protection and
enhancement of the town’s coastal and inland wetland resource areas. By implementing
the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (1972) and the Brewster Wetlands Protection By-law
(1984), the Commission ensures the protection of the interests attributed to these resource areas,
including public and private water supply, groundwater quality, wildlife habitat, protection from
flooding and pollution, storm damage prevention, fisheries, shellfish, agriculture, and aesthetics.
In addition, these guiding documents provide clear and detailed instructions for the review process
by which the Commission assesses each project proposed within 100 feet of resource areas.
Performance standards, which each project must meet in order to protect the above interests,
are also established for the town’s various wetland environments at both the local and state level
through these wetland laws. Additionally, the Brewster Conservation Commission manages all
conservation lands owned by the town in order for these natural ecosystems to be sustained for
current and future generations to enjoy.
The Brewster Conservation Commission is proud to work with community organizations to include
conservation non-profits, neighborhood associations, and ponds coalitions in their efforts to
enhance the long term protections for their natural resources. In addition, the Commission strives
to work in partnership with property owners and project managers, this includes the resolution of
enforcement matters and if needed, the restoration of environmentally sensitive areas. Enforcement
is a tool that provides the Commission the ability to ensure the proper review process for projects
are followed and our natural resource values are protected. Throughout 2017 the Commission has
resolved these cases working with property owners. When enforcement or penalties are needed,
they are issued as a reminder that wetland laws are there to protect our natural resource areas.
158
This year, Michael Tobin and Hayley Winfield served as Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively.
Throughout this busy year, their leadership set a steady course for the Commission’s work while
our newer members, Nicole Smith and Peter Wells, have energetically taken up their Commission
duties and provided both their expertise and their voices. For Bruce Evans and William Klein, their
contributions to the town also include serving as members of the Brewster Comprehensive Water
Planning Committee and Open Space Committee, respectively. In addition, William Klein serves
on the Community Preservation Committee. For their dedication to serving the town of Brewster
over this past year, for their commitment and hard work, all of the Conservation Commission
members are very much appreciated and should be commended in their diligent handling of very
full schedules.
The Conservation Commission’s work has been vigorous in 2017 and include 115 filings. Due to
the complexities both in projects and in the assessment process, these filings include numerous
hearings and continuances. For their industrious and professional handling of so many filings,
in the day-to-day delivery of accurate and educational information to members of the public,
conducting site visits, completing permits, and managing meetings, gratitude should also be
extended to Noelle Bramer, our Conservation Administrator, and Carol Spade, our Administrative
Assistant. Finally, Chris Miller, Natural Resources Director and Ryan Burch, Natural Resources
Assistant, are to be applauded for their tireless work in both managing town properties as well as
initiating new projects to enhance these resources for the community. Their skillful handling of so
many demands benefit the town of Brewster immeasurably and should be celebrated.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL ON AGING
The Brewster Council on Aging has been busy developing a 5 year Strategic Plan, which will be
implemented starting in July 2018. The Plan is in direct response to the findings of the needs
assessment study “The Future of Aging in the Town of Brewster” commissioned by the Town
of Brewster Council on Aging (COA) and conducted by the Center for Social and Demographic
Research on Aging within the Gerontology Institute at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
Key directives in this Plan are underscored by the following:
• As of the 2016 Town Census, residents age 60 and over make up 46% of our population
(36% age 60-79 and 10% age 80+). By 2035, this share is expected to increase to almost 55%.
• The influx of Baby Boomers is reshaping the economic and social profile of Town residents.
159
• Residents want to continue to live in Brewster, although their housing needs might change.
• Most older residents are healthy and active, although rates of functional disability are likely
to increase as age increases, limiting residents’ ability to age in place and participate fully
in the community.
• As residents age, they are more likely to live alone and less likely to have family nearby
who can help with daily living tasks, threatening independent living.
• Almost half of Brewster residents of any age provide informal (unpaid) care, find it
challenging, and favor respite services or a support group.
This Plan is also in line with the Age-Friendly Town Initiative currently undertaken by more
than 100 agencies and organizations across Massachusetts. Yarmouth has taken the lead on
Cape Cod to become an age-friendly community, focusing on policies, practices and programs
that enable people across the life span to actively participate in community life. Brewster should
follow. Further, in April 2017, Governor Charles Baker signed an Executive Order establishing
the state’s first Governor’s Council to Address Aging. The Council’s mandate is to develop a
plan to improve public and private efforts to support healthy aging in Massachusetts, making the
Commonwealth the most age-friendly state for people of all ages.
Supported by Study findings and social trends, several cohorts of Brewster residents age
60 and over are targeted in this Strategic Plan:
• Healthy and active residents to facilitate and support a beneficial lifestyle and promote
community engagement
• Residents with chronic conditions likely to develop functional disability
• Residents with lower incomes and/or at risk of economic disadvantage
• Residents living alone with advancing age, especially those without nearby family
• Informal (unpaid) caregivers of all ages, both living nearby the care recipient or at a
distance.
The Five-Year Goals and Objectives are focused on key findings from the Needs
Assessment Study:
1. Improve communication, outreach and marketing of COA programs and services
2. Provide health education and chronic care management programs
3. Provide a full range of exercise and fitness activities
4. Help older residents to age in place
5. Meet nutritional needs of older residents
6. Promote and provide opportunities for socialization
7. Promote appropriate housing options for older residents
8. Provide reliable and affordable transportation options
9. Offer educational programs that provide routes to personal and professional knowledge
and skill development
10. Promote and offer intergenerational programs
11. Provide expanded recreational activities
12. Support and assist informal caregivers of older Brewster residents
13. Enhance volunteerism and civic engagement
14. Obtain additional funding to support and expand services
Underlying all of these Goals and Objectives is the major Study finding that the COA
building (current Senior Center) is inadequate for current and future needs and for the expansion
of programs. A new facility, preferably as part of an intergenerational community center in a
repurposed town building or a new site, is required to implement this Strategic Plan successfully
and to become an age-friendly community. This will necessitate an increase in the COA budget,
both for the facility and for increased staffing. The COA Board estimates that an additional 1 full-
time employee of program staff will be required in FY2019, with appropriate increases in FTEs in
subsequent years as new activities and programs are offered.
160
The Town’s call to action on behalf of our aging population will require the COA and Town to
undertake creative and expanded approaches to raise funds; to work collaboratively with regional
efforts that promote age-friendly town planning; and to increase community-based resources that
support aging in place. Data driven solutions that align with current funding streams (and creatively
expand resources) will promote and support aging in place successfully in Brewster. Our attention
and investment now will ensure an age-friendly community that promotes independence, health
and well-being, and a thriving community for generations to come.

REPORT OF THE CULTURAL COUNCIL
The Brewster Cultural Council, made up of volunteers appointed by the Brewster Board of
Selectmen, makes decisions on how to award the money granted to it by the Massachusetts
Cultural Council. In addition to its state responsibility, the Council sponsors several cultural
events, in Brewster, throughout the year. Applications: The local council reviews two types of applications: standard LCC applications,
which may include a broad range of cultural activities that will serve local cultural needs, and PASS
applications, which are used to request money for K-12 students' field trips to cultural performances
and institutions that appear on the PASS roster. There are currently 329 local cultural councils in
Massachusetts that form an extensive grassroots system of public support for community cultural
programs.
Grantees: For 2016-17, the Brewster Cultural Council received $4200 to award for cultural
programs. The Council received 19 LCC applications and approved 16. Successful applicant
projects included: Meeting House Chamber Music Festival’s Summer Chamber Music Series, The
Academy of Performing Arts, Cultural Center of Cape Cod RISE AND SHINE program, Cape Cod
Poetry Review, Cotuit Center for the Arts, Nauset Regional Middle School, Cape Cod Commercial
Fishermen, Cape Rep Theatre, Cape Cod Alzheimer’s Services, Open Mic Classical, Eventide
Theatre, Song Keepers, Mass Audubon/Wellfleet and the Brewster Ladies Library.
Local Initiatives: In addition, the Council sponsored and organized the Ninth Annual Brewster
“Literary Evening,” readings by Brewster writers in October, 2017, the Eleventh Annual Art Exhibit
of Brewster Artists in March, 2017, and in May, 2017 our Fifth Musical program. The Council
sponsored our Second Writers workshop in 2017. All programs were held at the Brewster Ladies’
Library.
Meetings: The Brewster Cultural Council generally holds its meetings on Mondays, 4:00 p.m.
at the Brewster Town Hall or Brewster Ladies Library. Agendas are posted at Town Hall. We
welcome future grant applications and input to improve the quality of life for all Brewster residents.
Appreciation: The Brewster Cultural Council wishes to thank the Select Board, the Town
Administrator and staff, Brewster Ladies Library staff and the people of Brewster for their support.
Under state law, members of the Council may serve for two consecutive terms of three years. The
Council wishes to say “Thank You” to Milton Teichman and Maureen Callahan for their many years
of service and for their valuable contributions to the work of the Council.

REPORT OF THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR
In 2016 as in past years the Office of Emergency Management received an EMPG Grant
from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts which was utilized to fund our fourth annual Table
Top training exercise that tested the Towns response to a potential mass shooting event at a
municipal facility. This dynamic, hands-on training exercise was developed by Brewster police
and fire officials in conjunction with staff members of the Horsley-Witten Emergency Management
Planning Group.
During the program attending LEPC members worked in partnership with other emergency
response personnel from surrounding communities and the Regional Emergency Planning
Committee to develop and implement a response and recovery plan capable of mitigating a
hypothetical shooting event. The session included the intentional injection of a variety of real time
emergency scenarios in rapid succession that were designed to test the emergency decision
making, response, and planning capabilities of the attendees. These professionally moderated
programs that have become the focal point of our annual training efforts have allowed us to
improve our internal and external working relationships and response capabilities.
Throughout the year and prior to any severe weather, potential winter storm, or large community
event group meetings were held between Department heads and key Town employees who are
trained to work and respond to emergencies and operate at large scale events within a common
Incident Management System. In these sessions response and recovery plans that included
individual department staffing and resource needs, weather reports, crowd control issues, road
closures, sheltering plans, and other necessary response and mitigation needs were discussed
and written response and recovery plans developed. Proactive planning meetings held during
2016 included sessions for the Brew Run, Brewster in Bloom Parade, and several severe weather
(wind/rain/snow) warnings and storm events.
Emergency management personnel also continued to work cooperatively and attend monthly
meetings with the Cape Cod Regional Planning Committee, the Massachusetts Emergency
Management Agency, Barnstable County Incident Management Team, Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), and the Barnstable County Regional Emergency Planning
Committee to maintain a continuous level of community response readiness and knowledge of
regional emergency response and sheltering plans.
Coordinating the response to emergency events within our community is a dynamic and rapidly
moving process. With this said, Brewster residents should be aware that while it is the dedicated
work of all Town agencies and employees to provide you safety on a daily basis it is those
personnel serving in field positions that are assigned to respond to your calls for assistance and
render immediate aid and assistance that make up the foundation of our emergency management
endeavors.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Finance Committee consists of nine members appointed by the Town Moderator. Each
member serves a three-year term, with terms staggered so three members are appointed
yearly. The Finance Committee meets throughout the year, usually weekly, during the town’s
budget review process. It reviews all operating budgets as well as all spring and fall Town Meeting
warrant articles.
The Finance Committee is independent of the elected and appointed administrators of the Town with
responsibility to review all business presented at Town Meeting as well as giving recommendations
and guidance to the voting taxpayers for their actions at Town Meeting. Committee members also
attend other town board’s meetings as liaisons. In addition, members invest significant personal
time reviewing and evaluating department budgets, warrant articles and reports. The committee’s
main purpose is to represent the interests of the Brewster taxpayers.
The Finance Committee controls a reserve fund of $105,700.00 for fiscal year 2018. The funds
are an emergency relief appropriation for any town department that may request funding from an
unforeseen and/or unexpected shortfall in their operating budget. Appropriation of funds requires
a formal request through the Town Administrator, a public review by the committee and a majority
affirmative vote.
Our membership analyzes all town governmental operations in a “cost/benefit” evaluation
methodology. Over the past few years funding town government the real estate tax portion, as
a percentage of total revenue has carried an increasing load. We are committed to continue our
thorough assessment of all expenses and promote efficiencies and prudent financial management
practices in the interest of taxpayers.
In the past 3 years, town meeting and voters have approved a number of capital investment
projects, which have a significant impact on annual tax bills. The Finance Committee assesses all
financing options in accordance with expected project’s life expectancy in order to manage prop
2&1/2 override tax impacts within an appropriate debt to revenue ratio.
The committee continues to provide input and review of the $10,000,000.00 bond authorization
for repairing town roads. Millstone road is in development to be the next major road project with a
final plan presented at a future Town Meeting. The bonding project’s goals are to bring our roads
to a satisfactory state and maintain these improvements. The committee continues to support the
initiative as a wise and prudent investment.
The committee appreciates the inclusion and involvement in the structural changes to the annual
operating budgets and the reformatting of warrant articles to allow greater transparency and
flexibility in funding. We see the electronic medium as a vital tool to inform taxpayers on all
financial matters in “real time” and full access via the town’s web site.
In closing, our membership will continue to assess all financial aspects of the town in a cost/benefit
measurement. The Finance Committee will also play an active and guiding role in evaluating the
growing needs and additional services required for Council on Aging and Health and Human
Services.

REPORT OF THE FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT
The members of our department would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Board of
Selectmen, Finance Committee, Town Staff members, and the residents of our community
for the support provided to our department throughout 2017.
Much of our effort during the year was directed toward overseeing the design and construction of
the community’s new fire/rescue headquarters. Directing this project to ensure all fire department
requirements and design specifications will be met upon completion required daily interaction with
the contractor Delphi Inc., the owner’s project manager Pomroy Associates, the architect CDR
Maguire, and the Fire Station Building Committee. I am pleased to report that this outstanding
team of professionals have created and support a strong commitment to ensuring this facility
meets the expectations of our residents and the needs of our organization. As of this report the
anticipated completion date is May 15, 2018. We look forward to the grand opening ceremony for
this new state-of-the-art fire/rescue headquarters.
While our organization accomplished many of our planned goals and objectives during the year
several operational components deserve notice including the completion of our portable and
mobile radio upgrade project that was funded by a $352,000.00 Federal grant, the hiring of
two new firefighter/paramedics that was also funded through a Federal grant in the amount of
$288,000.00, the upgrade of our water rescue capabilities through the purchase of a new Zodiac
rescue boat, and the finalization of the planned reduction in our apparatus fleet through the
purchase of a new multi-functional rescue/pumper. Another important goal met during the year
was the completion of several months of negotiations and a settlement agreement on a new three
year contract with the career firefighters union.
In 2017 we initiated a training partnership with the Fire/Rescue Association from which we
sent four department members to the nation’s largest fire service conference (Fire Department
Instructors Conference) in Indianapolis. Other training highlights accomplished during the year
include two live burn sessions at the Barnstable County Fire Academy, participation in Operation
Score (statewide technical rescue drill), hosting of a Response to Terrorist Bombing Incident
program and the hosting of two seminars at the Captains Golf Course where nationally recognized
fire service experts spoke on a variety of health, wellness, operational, and leadership topics.
Our principal task of providing life safety services to the residents and visitors to our community
is an extremely dynamic and ever-changing mission. Annual and sometimes weekly adjustments
to EMS protocols, community and mutual aid response needs, technology, equipment, fire
inspection services, and fire suppression techniques require us to be more aware, better trained,
and more adept at planning for and responding to these challenging and escalating demands.
To ensure we meet these mandates our personnel will continue to focus on high level certified
internal and external training, enhancing our current service levels, and building respect from
the community for our organization and the services we provide through continued efficient and
effective response to incidents and strict adherence to our four core values of; Prepared For
Duty, Serving With Integrity, Responding With Compassion, and Committed To Professional
Excellence.
Our experienced staff of skilled personnel have unfailingly proven to be the core providers of
life safety services in our community for many years and we look forward to continuing to honor
our mission of protecting our residents through the effective and efficient delivery of professional
EMS and fire services.

Between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 the Brewster Fire & Rescue Department
responded to a total of 2946 requests for assistance. Of this total 634 were fire related incidents
and 2312 were EMS rescue related responses. Total property and content loss from the reported
fire incidents is estimated at $30,000. A general breakdown of fire related responses includes:
EMS Incident 2,316

Fire Prevention & Inspection
Using two State fire prevention grants in the amount of $6,547.00 the Fire Prevention Bureau
and several of our certified fire prevention trainers conducted a number of fire safety education
programs during the year paying particular attention to ensure we reached each of our community’s
schools by educating over 500 public and private school students, visiting our nursing and assisted
living facilities and connecting with our senior housing facility residents.
In addition, we hosted two Open House events attracting over 400 visitors to our facility which
enabled us to showcase our equipment and provide further fire and life safety education to our
residents and visitors to the community. We also participated in several community sponsored
events that provided us with additional opportunities to interact with and educate the public on fire
prevention topics and the services we offer.
In 2017 the workload and responsibilities of the inspection services component of the Fire
Prevention Bureau carried out by the Chief and Deputy Chief due to a long term injury to our
Fire Inspector continued to escalate in direct correlation with an increase in new construction,
increased home sales, and new fire code regulations. Annual mandatory fire inspections, liquor
license inspections, home resale inspections, new construction, plan reviews, oil tank installation
inspections, quarterly inspections of all nursing and assisted living facilities, and required follow up
re-inspections all placed a significant burden on the daily work assigned to the position. To remove
this future workload from the command staff Firefighter/Paramedic Kirk Rounseville was assigned
to the position of Fire Inspector Captain in January of 2017 and will oversee the operations of the
office.
The Fire Prevention Bureau generated approximately $27,315.00 in permit, inspection, burn, and
miscellaneous fees during the year. All of these collected monies were transferred into the Towns
general fund. The following breakdown identifies the various inspections completed and permits
processed by the fire prevention bureau during the year. These inspections and permits resulted
in a total of 1494 individual customer contacts.
Oil Burner Permits/Inspections 51
Annual Inspections/Re-inspections 122
School Fire Alarm Visits 20
Residential Fire Safety Inspections 55

REPORT OF THE FIRE STATION BUILDING COMMITTEE
We have come a long way since the December 1, 2015 town wide special election
approved the construction project for a new fire station.
On February 2, 2017, we had a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the new
fire station facility. In attendance were the Select Board, Town officials, fire department personnel,
the Fire Station Building Committee, Pomroy Associates- the town’s owner project manager,
CDR Maguire- the design architect, Delphi Construction Inc.-the general contractor and town
residents.
Delphi Construction, the general contractor for the project provided a tentative schedule for
site work, preconstruction, full construction and a final completion tentative date of May 21, 2018.
The Select Board proposed that two members of the Brewster Fire Station Building Committee be
assigned to the project team. Their responsibilities would be to attend weekly and bi-weekly site
meetings as necessary for the scope and duration of the project, review specifications and plan
details and attend to other matters that needed to be addressed or coordinated on behalf of the
Town.
Ralph Ingegneri and Herb Montgomery were tasked with this assignment and meet bi-
weekly with Pomroy Associates, CDR Maguire, the Delphi construction team along with the Fire
Chief and Deputy Chief. Neal Provost, Pomroy Associate’s on site construction manager and Fire
Chief Robert Moran are in daily contact with us on any updates or concerns that might arise. The
Project team receives a three week schedule from Delphi on work to be accomplished within the
upcoming three week time period. The site work is 95% done for winter conditions; all inside work
can go forward and the building will be sealed tight.
Other work that was completed in 2017 included the upgrade of the Town owned cell
tower. All new fiber wires were installed underground by the vendors who lease the tower, though
most of the cost to upgrade the site for underground fiber placement came from the Fire Station
budget.
Our Town Administrator, Mike Embury gave a report to the Select Board on December 11,
2017 on the Council on Aging facility upgrades that were funded with bond dollars available from
the Fire Station Building budget. The Council on Aging received a new septic system, sidewalks,
curbing, lighting, paving of a new parking lot to accommodate 52 parking spaces, including eight
handicap parking spaces in front of the COA and a concrete patio for a table and benches. As
a result of the construction of the new Fire Station Facility, the Council on Aging received all of
these improvements at a cost of $250,000 dollars, paid for by the approved fire station project.
On December 27, 2017, The Select Board had a walkthrough of the new fire station
facility. They were pleased with the progress of the new building and intend to revisit again in
eight weeks to follow up on the continued progress. The full Fire Station Building Committee
meets when necessary to bring all members up to date, and also meets with the Select Board to
keep them as well as the public informed on the progress.
The Fire Station project is on schedule and on budget. We would like to thank all Brewster
residents for their support as well as the Select Board, town agencies who worked with us to grant
the permits needed to go forward with the work and the Finance Committee. We would also like to
thank our committee assistant, Donna Moberg, Assistant Town Administrators Susan Broderick
and Donna Kalinick and Town Administrator, Michael Embury for all his input and hard work. Of
course, none of this would be possible without the hard work of Fire Chief Robert Moran and
Deputy Chief Kevin Varley. A special thanks to Neal Provost, Pomroy Associates site construction
manager for keeping us informed on a daily basis.

Chairman Robert Miller, Vice-Chair Ralph Ingegneri, Herb Montgomery,

REPORT OF THE GOLF DEPARTMENT The 2017 year was quite eventful and challenging for the Captains Golf Course. A major rain
storm in July caused flooding of our irrigation pump house. There was over five feet of water
in the pump house which destroyed the irrigation controls and the pump motor. In our 32-
year history, flooding of this magnitude had never occurred at the golf course. The irrigation system
was out of service for several weeks. This could have been catastrophic if not for the ingenuity
and hard work of the maintenance crew led by Superintendent, Pete Ervin. In addition, assistance
was rendered by the Water Department in setting up a temporary pumping system tied into Town
water. The total cost of this flooding damage was approximately $180,000, but fortunately it was
covered by insurance. The repairs have been completed and the system will be fully functional
for 2018. The unusual weather pattern that brought heavy rains during the season, many of
which occurred on weekends, negatively impacted our revenues. Our FY2017 daily fee revenues
were most heavily affected, dipping approximately 5% compared to the previous year. This was
disappointing, considering the consistent growth we had been showing over the last several years.
However, this decline was partially mitigated with an increase of 4% in our membership revenues.
Another challenge was the designation of the Golf Department as a “special revenue” account,
which means that all of the golf course revenues remain in a special account designated for golf
course use only. The Golf Department is expected to be self-funding with no impact to the overall
Town budget. This means covering all costs including the principal and interest payments on the
golf course expansion bond amounting to approximately $850,000 per year. Thankfully the end is
in sight for this debt obligation as the bond will be retired in 2020.
In spite of the obstacles, the Captains Golf Course continues to be considered the premiere
public golf course on Cape Cod as voted by Cape Cod Magazine and cityvoter.com. The major
factor contributing to this success is the fantastic condition of the course thanks to Pete Ervin
and his staff. Their hard work and dedication goes above and beyond and the feedback from our
customers is extremely positive. Word of mouth is the most effective advertising in the golf industry
and our conditions promoted a high percentage of return customers, as well as new customers to
the Captains. In addition, our golf staff continues to provide outstanding service and our marketing
efforts have been honed to get the word out in the most cost effective manner.
Our reputation as a top-notch golf facility has allowed the Captains’ to draw such prestigious events
as the MGA State Senior Four-Ball Championship and the New England Intercollegiate Men’s Golf
Championship. The success of these events led their organizers to introduce the first ever New
England Intercollegiate Women’s Golf Championship, hosted in April 2017 by the Captains, and in
2018, the Captains will play host to the MGA State Four-Ball Championship.
In FY 2017 the Captains Golf Course achieved a gross profit of $760,216 (Total revenues less
wages, operating expenses, and fringe benefits). This Operating Profit fell short of paying for the
total debt service, principal & interest, and capital improvements relevant to the golf course. The
deficit was covered by a transfer from the Golf Cart Receipts Reserved for Appropriation account
resulting in no financial impact to the taxpayers of Brewster.
In addition to contributing over $5M to the Town’s General Fund since the inception of the golf
course in 1985, the Captains Golf Course continues to provide many valuable benefits to the Town
of Brewster that are not easily quantified, but cannot be understated. These include: the positive
draw for the Brewster real estate market and business community; the availability of affordable
recreation provided to Brewster residents; the support provided to charitable endeavors; the
employment opportunities provided to area residents that support local businesses; as well as
being a good steward of the land and reducing development.
Over the years, the Captains Golf Course has been an active supporter of fundraising efforts
associated with the Lower Cape Outreach Council, Brewster Elementary Schools, Nauset Regional
Schools, Brewster Police Relief Association, Cape Cod Regional Technical High School, Cape
168
Cod Hospital, and many more. Over the past years the charitable events held at the Captains
Golf Course have netted over $1.5M for their respective organizations. We also provide free use
of the course for both the boys and girls Nauset High School golf teams during their seasons and
host a Junior Golf Day in August to promote junior golf. In addition, the Captains Golf Course has
participated for the last three years in the PGA Junior League whose goal it is to introduce young
golfers to the game.
For the past several years, the Golf Department has taken many steps to improve the efficiency
of the operation. Some of these have included: installing more energy efficient light fixtures, light
bulbs and refrigeration equipment throughout the property resulting in significant savings (this
was done at no cost through the Cape Light Compact); reduced part-time seasonal man-hours by
about 17%; reduced a 40-week maintenance position to 25 weeks; created an annual fee player
tiered structure; utilized equipment leasing options as opposed to purchasing; participated in inter-
municipal agreements with area towns to share equipment; and installed hand driers in all the rest
rooms to cut down on paper use and be more friendly to the environment. In addition, we launched
a new and improved web site in January 2017 that is more modern and easy to navigate. In 2018,
we are looking forward to our new food and beverage operator, Freemans Grill, operated by two
local hospitality professionals, Zach Duff and Sean Sullivan. They have some exciting plans to
upgrade this operation.
The Captains Golf Course has always enjoyed the support of the Brewster Board of Selectmen
and all of the Town departments and committees as well as the Brewster community as a whole.
We feel it is important to take a long range view of the Captains Golf Course with all of the above
factors in mind, so that we can continue to provide a best in class golf facility for the Town of
Brewster.

Mark T. O’Brien, Director of Operations

REPORT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE
The Health & Human Services Committee supports non-profits that serve to enhance the
quality of life of all Brewster residents in accordance with the Town Code (clause 16.2). Each
non-profit submits organizational information, strategic plans, financial data, service statistics
and funding requests. The committee reviews their submissions, conducts site visits, and meets
with representatives of the agencies. Finally, the committee makes funding recommendations to
the Board of Selectmen, the Finance Committee and, ultimately, the citizens of Brewster at the
Town Meeting within the town’s operating budget.
This year, the committee continued its work to better understand the needs of Brewster residents
and evaluate agencies or non-profit groups that are providing significant support to our citizens.
Discussions with representatives of several of the agencies as well as members of our town’s
clergy have enhanced the committee’s understanding of how significant and urgent the needs are.
Also, this year, the committee staffed a “Brewster Cares” table at the Brewster Historical Society’s
Farmers’ Market three Sundays during the summer months to distribute information about the
funded agencies as well as human service needs.
We are recommending a 4.3% increase in funding from $110, 960 for FY 2018 to $115,740
for FY 2019. The committee recommended essentially level funding for 9 non-profit agencies,
increased funding for 6, and funding for an agency renewing their request after a brief hiatus.

well as summer programs for Brewster children and working parents. In the past year, NYA
provided care and programs for 119 children in the after-school program and 68 in their summer
programs. Recommendation: $10,000
Outer Cape Health Services (OCHS) provides a full range of primary, specialty, and preventable
health care and supportive social services that promote the health and well-being of all who live in
or visit the eight outermost towns of Cape Cod. This year OCHS is again requesting $15,000 for the
Regional Community Navigator Program, to coordinate services and treatment options for Brewster
individuals struggling with substance abuse, mental health and/or co-occurring conditions. Since
this program was funded by the town at the beginning of the current fiscal year, approximately
20 Brewster residents have been supported through this program. Recommendation: $15,000
South Coastal Counties Legal Services (SCCLS) provides community based legal advocacy
in order to achieve equal justice for the poor and disadvantaged. In FY 2017, SCCLS served 40
Brewster residents. Recommendation: $4,120
We continue to be impressed by the work of these non-profit agencies, their collaboration with each
other, and the passionate, dedicated, knowledgeable, skilled individuals who support Brewster
citizens. We also are very appreciative of a town which understands the significant needs of its
citizens and support not only them, but the work of this committee. If you seek more information
about these agencies or the work of this committee, please contact any of its members. Thank
you.

REPORT OF THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION
The commission is composed of six members - George Boyd (Chairman), Pat Busch
(representative on the HDC), Renee Dee, Faythe Ellis (representative on the CPC), Jeff
Hayes, and Patricia Hess.
Following our FY 2016 windshield survey of historic structures which indentified approximately
300 buildings as being historic, about 100 of which had never been surveyed. Of the remainder
most had past surveys which were incomplete or erroneous. In FY2017 the committee obtained
funding from the Community Preservation Commission and the Town of Brewster promulgated a
contact to hire a qualified consultant to undertake the creation of Form - B’s that qualify for listing
with the Massachusetts Historical Commission for up to 70 historic structures. The initial group of
Form B’s covered homes on Lower Road and Stony Brook Road. This process was on going at
the end of fiscal year 2017.
Members of the BHC created a presentation on the historical importance of the East
Brewster section of Main Street for presentation to various interested parties over the next fiscal
year.
On May 23, 2017 at the Brewster Ladies Library, the Massachusetts Historical Commission
and Cape Cod Commission presented data about Historic Structures in Massachusetts and on
Cape Cod, including various preservation strategies. The Brewster Historical Commission was
pleased to provide Brewster-themed refreshments (Stony Brook Gristmill corn muffins, Brewster
Store coffee and Town of Brewster award winning water.) The lecture was well attended by Brewster
Historical Commission members, representatives from other Brewster boards and organizations,
as well as Historical Commission members from neighboring towns.

REPORT OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY
The Brewster Housing Authority is committed to providing safe, decent and affordable housing
for families and senior citizens and single special needs individuals of low and moderate
income.
Our portfolio consists of 32 Chapter 667 Elderly/Handicapped housing units at Fredericks Court;
24 units of Chapter 705 Family Housing at Huckleberry Lane (Sunny Pines); and 11 Massachusetts
Rental Vouchers scattered throughout the town. Our website is www.brewsterhousing.org
and office hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 8:30 AM – 1:30 PM. Phone calls are
forwarded to the Mashpee office when the Brewster office is closed.
Fiscal Year 2017 was a busy year for the BHA, filled with many challenges as well as
accomplishments. In addition to maintaining a tight budget with minimal funding from the state, we
adopted our updated five-year Capital Improvement Plan for formula funding from the Department
of Housing and Community Development.
Capital Improvements in 2017 consisted mainly of the finishing of the septic system upgrade
project at Huckleberry Lane. Most of the Capital Improvement money to be spent next year will
be devoted to the septic upgrade project at our senior site on Frederick Court. Because so much
of our capital monies have been spent on septic systems, we have had no money to improve
the condition of our family units, resulting in three units being taken off-line until funding comes
available. Family units are in need of extensive maintenance in order to rehabilitate them to
appropriate living conditions. We have applied for Community Preservation Funds to assist in this
need, as well as applied to DHCD for extra funding to bring these much-needed units back on line
and rented.
Several policies were reviewed, updated, or changed throughout the year and we were able to
accomplish full budget compliance. All reports were filed with the state Department of Housing and
Community Development in a timely manner. We were happy to add Jason Schuck, maintenance
assistant, as our newest staff member.
After four years of successful management, improvement to authority policies, plans, and
procedures, the Authority renewed its management contract with Mashpee Housing Authority, led
by Executive Director Leila Botsford. This arrangement has proven to be very successful, cost
effective, and professional.
Last year we selected a developer for the Brewster Woods project (Preservation of Affordable
Housing (POAH)). A development agreement and ground lease were finalized; POAH has started
the application for funding and the comprehensive permit. This development will consist of
30 affordable rental units. We hope to work closely with the community to develop attractive,
affordable rental homes that Brewster residents can be proud of.
The coming year will undoubtedly provide the BHA with new challenges but also with new
opportunities to serve the residents of Brewster in a way that preserves the right to decent, safe
and affordable housing.
Once again, great appreciation is extended to all the members of the Brewster Housing Authority
Board of Commissioners for their service to the Authority during the past year and to the members
of the community who support our mission.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert Hooper, Chairman

REPORT OF THE HOUSING PARTNERSHIP
The Brewster Housing Partnership (BHP) welcomed new member Ned Chatelain in 2017.
Steve Seaver is serving as chair and Lisa Forhan is Secretary.
The BHP held 11 regular monthly meetings on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6pm.
• In recognition of the current high level of focus on housing issues in Brewster, the BHP
expanded from 5 to 7 members.
• The Partnership continues to support the Habitat For Humanity Project and welcomed the
significant progress made in 2017.
• The BHP wrote letters of support to the Community Preservation Committee advocating
for continued funding of the Housing Coordinator position, and to The Zoning Board of
Appeals in support of the Brewster Woods housing project.
• The BHP voiced support to the Community Preservation Committee on funding for the
Cape Housing Institute in 2018.
Housing Production Plan
A significant achievement in 2017 was the completion of The Town of Brewster Housing
Production Plan (HPP). The BHP sponsored several public workshops during the initial stages of
plan development. The main purpose of The Housing Production Plan is to help Brewster make
steady progress toward the 10% statutory minimum of affordable housing. This means that 10%
of year round housing stock must be affordable to households with income at or below 80% of
the Area Median Income. As of January 2017, Brewster has 250 affordable housing units on the
state SHI, or 5.2% of the year round housing supply. The 10% target equals 481 units, or 10% of
the 4803 year-round housing units reported in the 2010 Census. The HPP identifies strategies to
increase this percentage toward the 10% statutory goal. The HPP was accepted by the state as
documented in a July 31st letter from the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community
Development (DHCS). The Brewster Select Board and the Brewster Planning Board adopted the
HPP as submitted.
The HPP focused on 7 key housing goals:
1. Increase the supply of year-round market rate and affordable rental housing for all types of
households, such as young singles and couples, families, and seniors.
2. Build support for addressing housing needs through partnerships with conservation groups and
non-profit and for-profit developers, and increased commitment of local funds.
3. Create housing that is affordable and appropriate for very low-income seniors and people with
disabilities.
4. Increase local capacity to plan, advocate for, and create affordable housing, preserve the
affordability and condition of existing affordable units, and monitor affordable housing restrictions.
5. Increase the variety of mixed-income housing choices in Brewster.
6. Create and provide programs to support struggling homeowners, such as a housing rehabilitation
programs.
7. Provide at least 10 percent of Brewster’s year-round housing units as affordable housing in
order to meet local and regional needs.
The implementation strategies detailed in the HPP fall into four broad categories and 16
specific strategies:
• Regulatory Reform (6 Specific Strategies): These strategies involve tools that make
permitting more efficient, allow more housing developments, and allow more types of housing in
Brewster.
• Funding and Assets (5 Specific Strategies): The focus of these strategies is to protect
existing affordable housing and pursue specific ways to expand local funds.
179
• Education and Advocacy (2 Specific Strategies): Brewster can combine strategies into an
education platform that captures key decision makers, property owners, neighbors, and people
most at risk from the effects of limited housing choices.
• Local Planning and Policy (3 Specific Strategies): The Town could be strategic in pursuing
partnerships and creating a more welcoming environment for housing development in Brewster.
The BHP supports the objectives of The HPP and focused our 2017 efforts in two key areas:
• Create a Housing Coordinator Position
• The Housing Coordinator is needed to be the central point person with both the authority
and resources to work on housing policy and housing strategies in Brewster. Progress toward the
remaining 15 strategies will be facilitated by the creation of this position. The BHP is pleased that
Jill Scalise was hired and we recognize the positive impact resulting from her efforts.
• Multiple Zoning Strategies in the area of Regulatory reform
• The BHP invested significant effort for Accessory Dwelling zoning. The Partnership held
several meetings with consultants to review and discuss ‘model’ bylaw language to be fully
developed in 2018.
Brewster Vision Advisory Group
The Brewster Vision Advisory Committee identified 8 building blocks important to strategic planning
for the future of Brewster. The BHP was encouraged that Housing was identified as a key building
block. The Vision Advisory Group developed a Draft Vision Goal:
Provide more affordable, safe and accessible rental and home ownership housing options at
different price points, particularly for single people, young families, and our older population.
Achieve the state’s 10% affordable goal by 2025.
Purposes:
• Promote housing choices to allow families to live, work and prosper
• Provide opportunities to address the varied housing needs of Brewster’s aging population
• Address the housing needs of the Town’s year-round & seasonal work force
Cape Housing Institute
Reflecting the focus on Affordable Housing issues on the Cape, the Cape Housing Institute was held
in the fall of 2017. The Housing institute was a 6 part series of workshops offered by Community
Development Partnership (CDP) and Housing Assistance Corporation (HAC) with an objective to
focus on the skills needed to develop a comprehensive housing supply strategy. The Institute was
targeted to municipal leaders, housing boards and committees. Over 120 individuals participated
in the sessions including 5 members of the BHP, as well as other key Brewster stakeholders.
Key topics addressed:
• Introduction to Housing
• Planning & Needs Assessment
• Zoning & Site Selection
• Financing 101 & Development
• Making the case for affordable housing
• Regionalism and Next Steps
The Housing Institute is developing additional curriculum for 2018.
The 2018 BHP focus will be
• Monthly meetings
• Development of Accessory Dwelling Bylaw
• Support of Brewster Municipal Housing Trust
• Continued collaboration with Housing Coordinator and other stakeholders advocating
housing related issues

REPORT OF THE LADIES LIBRARY
The Brewster Ladies’ Library had a very eventful year. After a four-year planning process which
included feasibility studies, surveys, focus groups, community forums, a design grant and finally
an application for a construction grant, the library received a $4,655,737.00 grant from the
Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. The MBLC voted to place the library on a wait-
list for a provisional construction grant. Wait-listed libraries receive construction grants as funding
becomes available either through the existing bond bill or a future bond authorization. The award
may not be granted until 2020 or 2021. In the meantime, the library board has hired a fundraiser
to help the Brewster Ladies’ Library Association raise $2 million dollars to off-set some of the
remaining project cost.
In 2017 the library served 93,099 patrons and circulated 177,676 items. The parking lot redesign
project was completed and new landscaping around the parking lot and the library back entrance
has been added. A generous grant from the Eddy Foundation helped to complete the project.
The library sponsored 421 programs that were attended by 8,889 people. The most popular
programs continue to be Sunday concerts, Friday’s Foreign Films, Story-time and Toddler Time.
Also, the library has added some new activities such as, the Third Thursday Documentary Film,
Kids Monthly Makers Program, and an evening book discussion group. The “One Book, One Town”
January program was Wolf Hollow, by Lauren Wolk. The author talk and supporting programs that
dealt with the themes of the book were well attended.
The Annual Nickerson Lecture Series was held in October. The feature speaker was Denise
Kiernan, author of The Girls of Atomic City, which was Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Thousands of
civilians, many of them young women, were recruited to work a secret project located there.
However, most of the world did not even know the town existed.
Donald Stoltenberg, artist and Brewster resident, died on March 26, 2016. Mr. Stoltenberg
gifted to the library his sketchbooks, diaries, files, original prints and watercolors. In addition,
Mr. Stoltenberg assigned to the library “all the rights, titles, copyright and interest” related to his
donation. The library is honored to house this collection and will work to preserve it for all library
patrons. To that end, an Eddy grant was awarded to the library to help preserve Mr. Stoltenberg’s
donation.
The Town provides 75% of the library’s annual budget (the Brewster Ladies’ Library Association
and the book sale provides the other 25%) and the library is grateful for the Town’s continued
support. It is also grateful to its volunteers who provided 5,510 hours of work, including shelving
books, conducting the annual book sale and for providing many other services.
Finally, Kathy Cockcroft who has been the library director since 2011, retired in November. Among
her many contributions were the establishment of the annual Nickerson Lecture Series, the
increase in the number of library programs and the completion of the design and construction grant
applications that resulted in the MBLC award of $4.6 million for the library renovation. Also, Kathy
provided guidance in expanding the library parking lot and replacing its outdated and inefficient
heating and cooling systems. The Board of Directors and staff of the library wish to thank Kathy
for her hard work and dedication. The library board has appointed a search committee that is
conducting a national search to fill the library director position.
Daryl Bladen, a 13-year employee of the library, retired this year. Daryl served as Volunteer
Coordinator for the library. She managed approximately 175 volunteers matching interests and
skills to volunteer jobs. Daryl scheduled over 5,000 hours of service for the library. We thank
Daryl for her service.

REPORT OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENTThe Natural Resources Department’s responsibilities include water quality, shellfish
propagation/enforcement, land management, mooring permits and administration of the
Wetlands Protection Act.
With the continued support from various Town Departments, a strong working relationship and
collaboration with Brewster Conservation Trust, Brewster Ponds Coalition, Pleasant Bay Alliance,
Brewster Coastal Committee, AmeriCorps, Brewster Conservation Commission, Water Quality
Review Committee, and a dedicated corps of volunteers, the Natural Resource Department
accomplished its forecasted goals for 2017.
Water Quality Monitoring
We continue to monitor 29 ponds in Town, utilizing the Pond and Lake Stewards (PALS) volunteers
for a majority of the testing. PALS volunteers gathered invaluable data used to monitor trends in
dissolved oxygen, temperature, clarity & algal growth for specific ponds. This year, aggressive
measures were started at reducing the amount of phosphorus from Walkers Pond by cutting and
removing aquatic vegetation using guidelines outlined by professional water quality consultants.
Monthly monitoring will help to determine the long term success of this strategy.
In addition, we conducted monthly monitoring on Long Pond from April-November to evaluate the
effectiveness of the 2007 alum treatment program.
We continued to support the Brewster Ponds Coalition http://www.BrewsterPonds.org with historic
pond data and AmeriCorps personnel for special projects.
With guidance from the Water Quality Review Committee and technical support from Lynn Mulkeen
Perry of Barnstable County Health & Environment, we completed the revised annual groundwater
monitoring protocol for Captain’s Golf Course.
We continued State mandated weekly bacterial monitoring from Memorial Day to Labor Day at
both fresh and saltwater bathing beaches. Results can be found at:
http://www.barnstablecountyhealth.org/programs-and-services/bathing-beach-water-quality/
beach-sample-results
Nutrient Management/Wastewater Needs
The staff has been working with our consultant and with neighboring towns through the Pleasant
Bay Alliance to develop a four-town plan to address the excess nutrients in the groundwater flowing
into Pleasant Bay. Our efforts will be leading to an intermunicipal agreement between Brewster,
Chatham, Harwich and Orleans to manage the nutrient load that is affecting water quality in the
bay. We hope to bring forward our plans in early 2018.
Volunteers
The Brewster FLATS (Friends of Lands, Aquatics, Trails & Shellfish) continued to support the
Department’s expanding responsibilities in the areas of water quality monitoring, shellfish
enhancement, public access, resource preservation & trail maintenance. The grass roots,
community based group has expanded its membership from 150 in 2013 to 209 in 2017.
AmeriCorps
2017 welcomed AmeriCorps members, Corey Bray (Jan. 2017-July 2017) and Alex Bates (Sept.
2017 to Dec. 2017). The organization contributed 2,845 volunteer hours to our community in
projects that ranged from improved access to town amenities, shellfish propagation, environmental
education, community events (Beautify Brewster, Brewster Conservation Day, Coast Sweep),
habitat restoration, fire safety and waste reduction. Some of the major AmeriCorps projects include:
182
2017 Group Service Days ~ Project List. With guidance from the DNR, AmeriCorps assisted with
the following projects:
• Punkhorn Trail Maintenance
• Wing Island habitat restoration
• Kingsbury/Mathews Conservation Areas invasive species removal
• Hawks Nest Farm Conservation Area habitat restoration
• Prescribed burn at Mother’s Bog Conservation Area
• Quivett Marsh Vista invasive species removal
• Stony Brook Grist Mill invasive species removal
• Baker’s Pond Trail Maintenance
• Oyster & quahog propagation projects
• Making over 150 cultch bags for oyster habitat
• 2017 Beautify Brewster. The 7th annual Town wide clean-up was a huge success, with 8
AmeriCorps members, over 100 community volunteers, 12 Town Departments and
committees, all working together to remove 1,560 lbs. of trash from our streets.
2017 Brewster Conservation Day on Saturday, July 8th at Drummer Boy Park was another great
success. BCD is a collaborative effort between the Town of Brewster, Brewster Conservation
Trust, The Mill Site Committee and Brewster Historic Society. The event engaged over 1000
visitors with educational and interactive exhibits focusing on protecting our natural resources.
AmeriCorps members participated by hosting 2 exhibits and assisted with the set-up and break
down.
Public Outreach
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: We worked with AmeriCorps to bring the message of reduce, reuse,
recycle to 1 local elementary school in Brewster through the Green Ribbon Recycle Puppet Show.
Trash to Treasure: The DNR continued to collect shells from local restaurants to recycle old shells
for habitat restoration projects in Cape Cod Bay. This year, AmeriCorps assisted with bagging the
shells to create approximately 200 bags to be used as habitat for oysters to grow.
Brewster Conservation Day: The DNR set-up an information booth at Brewster Conservation
Day to educate people about what the Town is doing to protect its natural resources.
Land Management
Land management efforts increased in 2017 as the Town jointly sponsored the second edition
of Brewster’s Walking Trails Guide with the Brewster Conservation Trust. We installed one
interpretive kiosk at the entrance of the Sheep Pond Woodlands Trail, and added walking map
holders at 6 kiosks around town. With the continued support of AmeriCorps, a healthy relationship
with the Department of Public Works and support from FLATS volunteers, we worked vigorously
at maintaining a diversified habitat, able to support a wide range of wildlife species and to promote
native vegetation. Focus areas included: Baker’s Pond, Kingsbury / Mathews property, Mother’s
Bog, Hawks Nest Farm, Wings Island, Punkhorn Park Lands, and Quivett Marsh Vista. Thank you
to Les Bowker for his help in the Punkhorn Park Lands trail network.
We utilized the skills and knowledge of AmeriCorps’ Fire Corps to continue efforts (10th consecutive
year) of field habitat maintenance and restoration on Wings Island. This year, the Fire Corps was
able to complete a prescribed burn on Wings Island with promising results.
Coastal Issues and Grants
The Department continues to work with the Comprehensive Water Quality Review Committee, the
Department of Public Works and others on stormwater improvements across town. Ellis Landing
reconstruction will be completed in spring 2018 with the installation of beach grass and fencing.
The Fisherman Access ramp at Slough Pond Landing is complete, and the shoreline stabilization
and plantings are awaiting warmer weather in spring 2018.
183
Harbormaster
Kayak and Canoe Racks: We continued to manage over 75 kayak & canoe racks at Paines
Creek, Mant’s Landing & Upper Mill Pond. The goal of this hugely popular service is to promote
access to our waterways and increase recreational boating for our residents & visitors. Selection
is done by lottery with applications due before March 1st. There is a $25 annual or bi-weekly fee
due with the application. For more information please visit the Town’s website under Natural
Resource – Shellfish & Mooring regulations.
Boat Moorings: The Brewster flats and fresh water ponds continued to be a popular boat mooring
destination. With over 300 moorings in Brewster, strong efforts are being made to maintain a safe
environment for recreational boaters and protect personal property. Along with patrolling for
current mooring stickers, we continued efforts at removing dangerous and unclaimed mooring
tackle from the flats and from ponds with public access.
Maintaining safe waterways on Long Pond was accomplished through the seasonal installation
of 32 NO WAKE buoys and designating one area as a SAFE SWIM ZONE. We also maintain a
swim line and buoy to Sheep Pond beach to better define the swimming area and separate it from
the boat ramp.
Strandings
We continue our work with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) in responding to
stranded or dead marine mammals. Each year we have multiple strandings on Brewster beaches,
and our department functions as the trained local first responders. We also work with several
other local groups in responding to wildlife issues throughout the town. In the last several years
we have been very successful in saving many dolphins, seals and sea turtles that otherwise may
have suffered and/or perished. We also address other marine wildlife issues, such as the recent
thresher sharks in the ice flows, ocean sunfish strandings, and in monitoring resting ice seals that
frequent our beaches in the winter.
Shellfish
Our Department purchased oyster & quahog seed through a program connected with Barnstable
County’s Cooperative Extension and was supplemented by funds raised from our rent a rake
program, donations, and sales of Brewster Oyster gear. Our municipal shellfish propagation
program continues to flourish with help from our shellfish volunteers. Bud Johnson and Steve
Berrick head up our dedicated group, who provides assistance in propagation, distribution and
grow out. This year we saw another record number of people take advantage of our biweekly
summer quahog program at Saint’s Landing, fall Oyster Sundays at Ellis, & spring and fall Little
Neck weeks also at Ellis. We would not provide the level of service to Brewster without their
valuable assistance.
Local Support
We wish to thank Brewster for its continuing dedication to open space preservation and protection
of its natural resources.
Gifts and Donations: We received a tremendous amount of support from our local business
community through food and drink donations for a majority of our events. We wish to thank
Laurino’s Restaurant, Ocean Edge Golf Club & Resort, Brewster Pizza, Brewster True Value,
Agway & Dunkin Donuts.
I wish to thank the staff, including Ryan Burch, Natural Resources Assistant; Noelle Bramer,
Conservation Administrator/Natural Resources Assistant; Carol Spade, Senior Department
Assistant, John Sullivan, Assistant Shellfish Warden, and Sam McGee, Assistant Shellfish Warden.

REPORT OF THE NAUSET REGIONAL MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS AND BREWSTER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
Brewster Elementary Schools
This past year Denise Fronius, Principal of Stony Brook Elementary, retired after many years
of dedicated service to the town. Stony Brook Elementary School and Eddy Elementary
School participated in Community Friends Week. Members of the community visited our
schools and witnessed the teaching and learning that happens every day in the classroom. Our
dedicated and creative teachers use a variety of educational tools, including technology, to improve
student learning for all our students. I encourage you to visit either school and see how learning
today is so different from the past. Our Eddy School Chorus proudly represented Brewster and
the entire District this past year at the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra’s holiday program and at
the State House. Eddy students continue to surpass state-wide averages with MCAS results with
notable gains in grade 3 Math and grade 5 ELA.
Security continues to be paramount for our schools using Crisis Go to provide immediate notification
in case of an emergency. Visitor registration software using Raptor Technology is in place at all
of our schools. We thank the Police and Fire Chiefs for their support as they continue to provide
drills to ensure the safety of our staffs and students.
Nauset Regional Middle and High School
Arts Day at Nauset Middle School focused on artists showcasing how they use their artwork to
encourage social change and support conservation efforts on Cape Cod. The Middle School music
department hosted the Southeaster Junior Music Festival in March with 500 students rehearsing
and performing. The Green-house continues to provide educational opportunities for our students.
Entre-preneurial skills were learned at the Winter Farmers Market and concepts such as energy,
graphing and drawing living plants were taught in the greenhouse by several classroom teachers.
Students also created planters, self-watering plants, and used the Makerspace to create recycled
projects for the Greenhouse. Writing and obtaining grants and receiving generous donations
have benefitted our Makerspace program providing materials to enhance student learning and
creativity. After school programs have grown tremendously with daily offerings for students who
wish to play a sport or join a club.
Nauset Regional High School continues to excel academically with 99% of Grade 10 ELA students
scoring Advanced or Proficient on MCAS testing. 80% scored Advanced. Nauset 9th Graders had
87% scoring Advance or Proficient in Physics. Nauset students continue to achieve accolades,
awards and recognitions in many areas. Seventeen art students received Gold and Silver
keys at the Boston Scholastic Arts Awards. Three high school choirs traveled internationally to
Montreal and received Gold Medals and the Spirit Award at the International Music Festival. Two
students performed at Symphony Hall at the Massachusetts Music Festival. The Nauset Regional
High School Mock Trial team advanced from a field of 150 schools to the Sweet 16 quarterfinal
competition held at Clark University in Worcester. The German Exchange Program visited Duren,
Germany and traveled throughout the cities of Hamburg, Cologne, Bonn and the Eifel National
park. Culinary Arts students visited Italy and Spain while other students traveled to Haiti to assist
in humanitarian causes and collaborations. Our Human Rights Academy club was recognized
for its outstanding leadership on Cape Cod by the Cape Cod Human Rights Commission. Our
student athletes provided exciting seasons this fall. Boys Golf, Girls Cross Country & Boys Soccer
all won Atlantic coast League titles. Our students and teachers are dedicated, talented, and
innovative bringing a real sense of pride to our communities!
185
As you are aware, the Nauset Regional High School was approved, by the Massachusetts
School Building Authority, to enter into a building renovation project and funding was approved at
town meetings for the feasibility study. It has been agreed that the project shall be based on an
enrollment of 905 students in grades 9-12. A building committee has been formed comprised of
Administrators, Community Representatives, Staff members and School Committee Members to
work on this project. This committee will work closely with all parties and keep the public informed
throughout the project.
Due to the rising cost of bus transportation, the Transportation Sub-committee was asked to
reconvene and examine transportation in the District. They met regularly over the course of
two and a half years analyzing ridership, bus configurations, vehicle costs, fuel options and cost
savings. At the Joint School Committee meeting held last October, it was voted to authorize the
Superintendent to apply for and pursue bus service through the Cape Cod Collaborative for the
2018-19 and subsequent school years. This is a big step for Nauset and we continue to try to help
ourselves by looking for ways to save money in our budgets.
The District’s Substance Abuse Sub-committee has also been meeting for the past two years
and has brought forward insights, through surveys, relative to the social and emotional stresses
our students may be experiencing and how to address these issues. We are presently looking
into programs that will be implemented from Preschool through High School to help our student
improve coping strategies and provide supports for students at all grade levels.
Superintendent
In my third year as Superintendent, I continue to look at all systems and ways that the District
can help itself financially. Improving student learning for all students is my focus and I continue
to assist Administration and Staff in this goal. I thank the School Committee, the parents and the
community for their unwavering support for education in our communities. I encourage you to visit
our schools to see the excellent teaching and learning that is happening at all grade levels. I am
honored and privileged to be the Super-intendent of the Nauset Public Schools and am committed
to continued excellence in our schools.
My door is always open and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas.
Thomas M. Conrad
Superintendent, Nauset Public Schools

REPORT OF THE OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
The Open Space Committee, established in 1998 to carry out the purposes of and receive
funding through the Cape Cod Open Space Acquisition Program (The Cape Cod Land
Bank), now receives funding through the Community Preservation Committee (CPC).
Priorities for the Open Space Committee remain the same, although objectives and funding are
now more flexible with Community Preservation funds:
1. Protection of water resources: drinking water supply, ponds, marine watersheds
2. Protection of the rural character of the Town, including historic scenic vistas
3. Provision of Open Space for passive recreation, creation of pocket parks
4. Special purposes: preservation of agricultural areas, wildlife/plant habitats, threatened
resources/linkage to existing conservation areas
With a total area of 16,335 acres, Brewster is more than 40% developed; with 15%
“undevelopable” wetlands; about 33% protected land; and less than 12% of its land left
to be developed or preserved. Since 1999 the Town has purchased $15.6 ($10.2 Town cost)
million in open space. The assessed value of these purchases is approximately 4/10 of one
percent of the $3.3 billion of the Town’s assessed property value. No real estate taxes are lost,
since the taxes that would have been realized from the open space parcels are equally distributed
to all Town taxpayers.
Town officials have said that the tens of millions that Brewster has spent to preserve open space
and protect water supplies have greatly reduced our nitrogen loads to Pleasant Bay and the
Herring River. This enables us to avoid many of the massive remediation expenses that other
towns are now facing with wastewater treatment and sewering costs.
As a part of acquiring open space parcels, the Town standardly applies for State Land Grants.
Between 2006 and 2017 Brewster acquired eighteen open space properties (including
Conservation Restrictions) totaling 225.6 acres with a total acquisition price of $11,131,000.
State LAND grants, as well as other funding was secured for these purchases resulting in a
net cost of 51% or $5,643,000, a final per acre cost of $25,013. Less funding has been available
in the last few years, making individual land grants harder to obtain. However, the Open Space
Committee has worked closely with the BCT and the Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts
to foster partnerships with other conservation trusts, as well as neighboring towns to purchase a
number of properties, resulting in reduced costs to Brewster, even without State LAND grants.
l. Meetinghouse Road (Borden-Burks) Property:
Meetinghouse Road (Borden-Burks) Aquifer Protection Property: This acquisition is a 27-acre
parcel located off Slough Road in West Brewster, within Brewster wellfield buffers to existing
municipal wellfields. This purchase provides protection to a large tract in and of itself, but also
secures a “missing link” in the 100-acre swath of woods the Town has been working to cobble
together for conservation and wellfield protection purposes over the past 20 years. A network of
walking trails already exists on the parcel that will be opened for public use and devoted to links
in the Cape Cod Pathways.
The Town applied for and will be receiving a State L.A.N.D. grant in the amount of $226,343
towards this purchase. We have also approached the Dennis Water District (DWD), the direct
beneficiary of this forest acquisition next to its wellfield, for a financial contribution. Located in
Brewster’s western District of Critical Environmental Concern, these parcels are within the marine
recharge areas for the Herring River and Bass River. This parcel has Town Conservation land on
two sides with the Dennis Water Department wellfields forming the western boundary.
187
The Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT) is contributing $50,000 towards this purchase and will
hold the Conservation Restriction. The Town Water Department, Conservation Commission, Open
Space Committee, Selectboard and Town Administrator supported this purchase. The gross
purchase price of $432,000 is about $15,777 per acre, with the offset of the state grant and other
local funds, the final cost is $155,657, or $5,765 per acre. The property will be managed for
conservation, watershed protection and passive recreation.
The Committee contracts with Mark Robinson, Executive Director of the Compact of Cape Cod
Conservation Trusts (Compact), to coordinate, outreach and negotiate the acquisition of various
parcels for open space. The Committee had identified a number of parcels based on specific
criteria. The Santorello, Lalor, Mill Pond and Boehm conservation areas were a result of this
outreach. Mill Pond also represents the first time the Town has contributed monies to hold a
Conservation Restriction on property. This represents a much less expensive way for the Town to
participate in open space preservation.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has continued to expand its program of
targeted conservation efforts for wildlife on farm and forest lands. They are helping landowners
restore and protect habitat for declining species. Recent projects focus on restoring and protecting
wetland habitats for Blandings, Wood and Spotted Turtles – all considered at-risk by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service – in New England and New York. The turtles need a range of wetland and
stream habitat. This project provides opportunities for landowners to restore, protect habitat for
these rare turtles. Landowners can help the turtles by restoring and protecting wetlands, managing
healthy riparian areas and stream corridors, and improving grazing and forestry operations.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides technical and financial help to
agricultural producers and forest land owners to plan and implement conservation practices that
benefit these target species. The State is also increasing its support of Agricultural Preservation
Restrictions and farmers.
In 2016 the Massachusetts Legislature passed an act that recognized Agricultural Commissions in
state statute thereby giving them the authority to hold lands and leases for agricultural purposes.
This allows more flexibility in keeping farms viable. Commissions can now oversee and manage
the preservation of land for agricultural use (subject to Town Meeting vote). Similar to Conservation
Restrictions whereby a landowner may preserve property for conservation and a real estate
tax break; a farmer may now preserve land for agriculture under an Agricultural Preservation
Restriction and also receive a tax break. This provides an additional way for the Town to preserve
lands and maintain the historic rural character of Brewster.
The Open Space Committee continues to work with the Community Preservation Committee,
jointly evaluating parcels as they become available. Some parcels are prioritized to prevent
development within a drinking water Zone II, to preserve marine watershed recharge areas, or for
habitat/wildlife corridor/wetland protection: other parcels are better suited for Community Housing,
Historic Preservation and/or Recreation.
This Committee works closely with the BCT and the Compact, which have been of inestimable
assistance in locating/ negotiating/ purchasing lands. It must be noted that over the last fifteen
years, BCT has acquired over 540 acres of land and holds Conservation Restrictions on over 448
acres (Town and private land), totaling almost 1,000 acres of protected land.
The Open Space Committee also works with the Water Department and Water Commissioners.
They have begun to set aside a portion of the revenue collected from water rates in order to
contribute monies towards future land purchases within wellfield protection areas. We thank them
for their contributions towards a number of the Town’s recent land purchases.
The Committee will continue to pursue ways to supplement open space funds through collaborations,
contributions, joint purchases, or bargain sales from owners who wish to assist conservation.
188
Land can be protected in many ways: direct purchase, reserved life estate, bargain sale, gift, will,
easement or agricultural preservation restriction, all with attractive tax incentives. People can also
give land to the Town for Open Space, Community Housing, Recreation or Historic/Agricultural
Preservation and generate tax savings.
Jeanne Boehm and Keith Johnson are also no longer members of the Committee. We wish to
thank both of them for the time and energy they contributed to the Committee.
We thank all Departments for their assistance, as well as the Selectboard and the citizens of
Brewster for their support of Open Space objectives.

190
Integrated Water Resource Management Plan Implementation
The Department continues to work with the Horsley Witten Group on implementing recommendations
of the Integrated Water Resources Management Plan (IWRMP), including adopting a Stormwater
Management bylaw consistent with the MS4 permit, as well as Board of Health septic regulations
to address water quality for impaired ponds. This effort is also being supported by a Cape Cod
Water Protection Collaborative grant.
Staff Review
The Department facilitated 10 Staff Review Applications in 2017. The Staff Review process allows
a prospective applicant to meet with Town department heads to discuss a project before entering
the permitting process. This process is free, confidential and intended to help applicant’s present
regulatory boards with development proposals that are fully informed by and responsive to local
bylaws and regulations.

The Department staff support the Planning Board and Board of Appeals by preparing staff memos
for permit applications, and drafting findings, conditions and decisions for permit approvals.
Vision Plan
The Brewster Vision Advisory Committee, a nine member group appointed by the Select Board
to develop a strategic vision for Brewster, held monthly meetings throughout 2017. Planning
Department staff provided administrative support to this committee, including the organization
of 2-rounds of community workshops. The Planning Department will continue to support the
committee as they wrap up their strategic vision and recommendations in 2018.
Public Service
The Planning Department continues to develop brochures to assist the public in navigating
the permitting process, as well as explore new ways to disseminate public information about
community meetings and active projects. In 2017, the department welcomed over 600 walk-in

REPORT OF THE PLEASANT BAY ALLIANCE
The Pleasant Bay Alliance is an organization of the Towns of Brewster, Chatham, Orleans and
Harwich. Formed by an inter-municipal agreement, the Alliance is charged with implementing
the Pleasant Bay Resource Management Plan. The Plan encompasses the Pleasant Bay
Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) and Pleasant Bay watershed. The Alliance
develops public policy recommendations, technical studies and public informational materials, all
available on the Alliance website, www.pleasantbay.org. Highlights from 2017 include:
The Pleasant Bay Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Program completed its 18th monitoring
season. Trained volunteers collected samples at 25 bay-wide sites achieving a 90% collection
rate. Data from the program are used for local and regional nutrient management planning and
implementation.
In March the Alliance presented the Pleasant Bay Watershed Composite Nitrogen
Management Analysis. The Composite Analysis brought each individual town’s nitrogen
management strategy into a consolidated format enabling watershed-wide analysis. On June
23rd, the Select Boards of Brewster, Chatham, Harwich and Orleans voted to sign a Resolution
of the Towns Sharing the Watershed of Pleasant Bay. The Resolution endorsed the Pleasant Bay
Composite Nitrogen Management Analysis as an accurate representation of each town’s share of
current attenuated watershed nitrogen load and its responsibility to remove nitrogen in Pleasant
Bay. This is a significant step in each town’s commitment to address the problems of nutrient
loading to Pleasant Bay on a watershed basis.
The Resolution also confirmed each town’s agreement to work with the other watershed towns,
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, US Environmental Protection Agency,
and the Cape Cod Commission to pursue efficiencies and cost savings through coordinated
implementation, and also to participate in a Watershed Permit Pilot Project.
In May the Alliance presented a report on the potential impacts of sea level rise in Pleasant Bay. The
report, prepared by Center for Coastal Studies of Provincetown, estimates the range of sea level
rise likely to affect the Pleasant Bay system through 2100, and identifies potential changes to the
Nauset Barrier Beach and the intertidal zone of Pleasant Bay resulting from estimated changes in
sea level. This information provides a foundation for developing management strategies to address
impacts associated with sea level rise. The Alliance also released draft erosion management
guidelines intended to preserve healthy coastal resources. The guidelines were presented to
Conservation Commissions and the public for comment and will be published in final form in 2018.
The Alliance is working with the Center for Coastal Studies and National Park Service to continue
monitoring and reporting on changes in tide heights in Chatham Harbor and Pleasant Bay.
The Alliance wishes to thank the citizens of Brewster for your ongoing support.

REPORT OF POLICE DEPARTMENT
Looking back at 2017, the Brewster Police Department focused on engaging the community in
new and effective ways. This included a first of its kind citizen/police forum, where members
of the department presented on a variety of topics and sought feedback from community
members present on what their thoughts and expectations were as it pertains to policing in
Brewster. Additionally, the Brewster Police Department participated in a county wide event that
was developed through coordination of the Nauset Interfaith Association, Cape Cod Community
College, and local police agencies. This event, titled “Cape Cod: Making It the Best Place for All of
Us” focused on the “broken windows” theory and how bringing together a variety of agencies and
people here on Cape Cod, we can work to improve the quality of life for underserved populations.
A segment of the underserved population are those struggling with mental health issues. In 2016
we identified this as the top issue of concern for the police department. During 2017 we have
focused on training in this area by sending officers to Crisis Intervention Training to learn best
practices and gain access to resources when dealing with complex situations involving mental
health.
The Brewster Police Department’s dedication to these endeavors supports our commitment to our
mission, which in part, notes that “we will work in partnership with our community to identify and
effectively respond to the diverse, ever-changing social and neighborhood problems and needs;
all the while, keeping an emphasis on integrity, fairness, and professionalism”.
Our officers are able to accomplish this by remaining professional in all situations and keeping true
to the principles of community policing. For us, community policing is not just a catchy slogan, but
an over arching philosophy that guides us in all we do. Whether it is interacting with our school
children or trying to help a family dealing with a crisis, we strive to be humane in our treatment of
everyone.
Moving forward into 2018 the department will experience some change in leadership as Chief
Richard Koch retires after having served the Department and the Town for 30 years, with his last
12 as Chief. Even with a new chief at the helm, the department will remain dedicated to continue
to learn and grow to meet the needs of the people we serve. Our officers are as much a part of
the community as those we encounter on a daily basis and we will strive to do our part to keep
Brewster the great town that it is.
As always, we appreciate the support we receive not only from the citizens of Brewster but also
from the Town Administration, the Board of Selectmen, the Finance Committee and all of the other
departments within the town.

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
This is my third report as Superintendent of Public Works. 2017 was another busy and challenging
year for Public Works in Brewster. The department continues to evolve, major personnel changes
have improved our ability to accomplish tasks.
Kinsley Johnson transferred to Building Maintenance opening a spot for Jeff Day our senior
employee to transfer to the Recycling Center. Jeff has served as department foreman and as
master mechanic, his expertise will be a great addition to the workings of our transfer station.
Michael Richards was promoted to Master Mechanic, Mike had worked under Jeff Day and has
a great work ethic and a terrific attitude. He has embraced his role in managing the town’s fleet.
Shawn Williams was hired to fill the assistant mechanic position.
This is the first time in years that the department is at full staff; Jake Cronin was hired as a truck
driver, Josh Sargent came to DPW with extensive experience as an arborist. Steve Chapman
joined our team with years of experience in equipment operation and drainage installation and
Chris Martin joined us full time after being a valuable and dedicated seasonal employee.
Kelly Rugg joined our office staff and has been an excellent employee with great people skills.
Kelly was open to being cross trained and has filled in at the gatehouse at the recycling center.
Underpass and Snow Roads were completed in the spring, sidewalks and bike lanes have been
universally accepted and well used by the public.
After many years of planning Ellis Landing was reconstructed. Protective matting was placed
under the beach front, and an extensive drainage system was constructed under the parking lot
to capture stormwater runoff. This project will help to prevent stormwater from washing into the
bay impacting critical oyster beds just off shore. The parking lot was resurfaced and the remaining
portion of Ellis Landing road will be resurfaced in the spring.
A new access road to the parking at Crosby Mansion was constructed by DPW this past summer.
The upper tennis court area was reclaimed and the field was striped for use as parking adding
over 100 spaces. The Crosby Lane Stormwater and Salt Marsh Restoration Project is a culvert
replacement project and renovation of the 60 car parking lot at Crosby beach.
The design of the culvert under Crosby Lane was completed by Horsley Witten and the town
applied for and received a 319 grant of $105,000 from DEP/EPA. In addition, we have been
working with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA funded the design) to receive
additional funding for the project. The town road bond will provide the required matching funds
to complete the project. The project will be bid this winter and will be started in the spring with
completion in the fall of this year.
Working in concert with the DPW in Orleans the town was able to dispose of many years of street
sweepings which had accumulated at the DPW. Orleans needed fill to level a section of their
closed landfill to allow for the construction of a leaf and yard waste composting site. Over 4,000
yards of sweepings were trucked to the Orleans facility resulting in significant savings for both
towns. We are indebted to Tom Daley the DPW Director in Orleans for reaching out to us and
working to facilitate this project.
August 19th was a remarkable day in Brewster bringing over 6 inches of rain in a four hour period.
This put every drainage facility in Brewster at risk of failure. Many of our previously repaired
drainage sites were unable to handle the sheer volume of water at one time. Throughout the
remainder of summer we were hit with additional storms bringing 4 inches of rain in short intervals.
If this pattern continues we will be forced to revisit our drainage calculations and significantly
increase the size and expense of localized drainage repairs.
196
These rain events called for a town wide cleanup and the decision was made to sweep the entire
town during early fall including the private roads. As part of our ongoing maintenance all of the
town’s catch basins were cleaned during the fall of 2017.
We are currently under design for projects on Robbins Hill Road and in the Robinwood neighborhood.
These areas flood causing private property damage or flooding of roads which prevents public
safety response and evacuation. These projects will be designed, permitted and bid during spring
with construction during the summer and fall.
After a request for proposals and an interview process the engineering firm VHB was selected to
design Millstone Road. An extensive public participation process will be undertaken this spring.
We hope to have a satisfactory design completed by fall, including pavement repairs, drainage
repairs and the addition of a sidewalk the length of Millstone connecting with the sidewalks on 6A
and the Bike Trail.
The lower end of Long pond Road from Harwich road to Route 6A has an old deteriorated drainage
pipe system which has been subject to failure for the past few years. During September a large
sink hole developed and DPW staff made temporary repairs, during 2018 we will design a solution
to this issue, we will also develop plans for sidewalks and investigate the possibility of bike lanes
on this section of road.
Brewster Recycling Center
The residents of Brewster who use the transfer station are to be complimented on their willingness
to adapt to the changes which were made this past year in the handling of recyclables. We changed
to two sorts, all paper, and comingled glass, tin and plastic. This has been very successful and has
simplified our approach to managing the disposal of these materials.
We continue to produce and give away at no charge high quality compost, this is an excellent
garden amendment screened with a half inch trammel screener. This past year almost everything
we produced was taken from the facility by residents.
The design was completed for a new fuel depot for town vehicles, we expect this project to be
completed during the summer months of this year. The facility will be at the rear of the DPW site
adjacent to our DPW building.
During 2018 we will be introducing a food waste recycling pilot program, we have been working
with the Brewster Recycling Committee, DEP and our surrounding towns to take on a very heavy
portion of our solid waste stream. We look forward to success with this program.
Tree Warden
Although conditions of trees continue to decline as a result of Winter Moth, Gypsy Moth and
drought Brewster residents witnessed a significant event in the nearly total collapse of the Gypsy
Moth population last summer. A wet period with numerous rain events spread a beneficial fungus
which attacks gypsy moth larvae. Within a few days nearly all caterpillars were washed away by
fungus and heavy rains. We expect to continue to have this pest appearing sporadically throughout
town as it takes only a few caterpillars to cause problems. The presence of the fungus will help to
keep this pest in check, but environmental conditions such as rain or drought will greatly impact
the development of future generations of caterpillars.
On behalf of our staff I would like to thank all of the town departments for their help and cooperation
throughout the year. I would like to thank the staff of DPW for answering the call during storm
events and for carrying out the mission of the department on a daily basis. And in particular would
like to commend James Jones our DPW foreman and Emily Sumner our Administrative Assistant
for their continuous effort to improve the efficiency of our department and the delivery of services
to the public.
Respectfully Submitted,
Patrick Ellis, DPW Superintendent

REPORT OF THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT
The Brewster Recreation Department is committed to enhancing the quality of life for all Brewster
Residents and visitors by utilizing the Town’s many beautiful parks, beaches and facilities
to provide the best quality recreational activities that challenge the body and spirit across all
generations. The purpose of the Recreation Department is to meet the diverse recreational, cultural,
athletic and leisure-time pursuits of the residents of Brewster with a broad-based comprehensive
program. Recreational programs are organized to encourage participation and enjoyment and will
be held at safe and well-equipped facilities on a year-round basis.
Brewster Recreation Programs, Events and Facilities
During the last year the Recreation Department has continued to expand its core programs to
include residents of the Brewster Community as well as residents and visitors. Our goal is to
continue to refine the aspects of the existing programs and events, always looking for new ideas
and opportunities to shape the experiences of our residents and visitors alike. We offer traditional
programs such as basketball, baseball and softball, and more unique programs like youth running
clubs, science programs, jump rope and archery.
During the year, the Recreation Department hosted community events such as the Breakfast with
Santa, held at Ocean Edge Resort, which helped us raise and donate $3,000 back to families in
our community. Over the past ten years, we have donated approximately $45,000. We sponsored
the Brewster in Bloom Run 5K, with proceeds benefitting our Bob Redd Memorial Outstanding
Youth of the Year Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to Brewster high school seniors who
have demonstrated service to our community and high character. Since 2009, we have given
$28,000 in scholarships toward students’ high education. Other events include an Easter egg hunt
at Ocean Edge Resort and an outdoor movie night in the summer.
Over the year, field improvements were made to the Babe Ruth Baseball Field at Freemans Way,
funded by a grant from the Community Preservation Act.
For More Information
Our web site, www.brewsterrecreation.com is regularly updated and provides information for
all our programming and events. Registrations are accepted online through our website as well
as completed in our office. The web site is also used as a means of communication for program
information, department updates and weather cancellations.
The Brewster Recreation Department is committed to empowering our youth with the skills
necessary to become responsible members of society. We recognize the need to instill high
expectations so that all our participants realize that success lies within them. As we look forward
to future we offer a special thank you to our staff, volunteers, sponsors and the community who
supports our department each and every year.

REPORT OF RECYCLING COMMISSION
During calendar year 2017, Brewster’s Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) program continued to be a
success with much discussion about ‘next steps’ in terms of waste reduction and increased
recycling. Both the recycling and the trash numbers demonstrated a leveling off effect as
was expected. By the end of the year, trash had been reduced by 11 tons and recycling had also
gone down by 14 tons. This modest reduction is most likely the result of the on-going change in
packaging. Regardless, this stabilization was the reason that the Commission decided to focus
on additional outreach and education regarding both recycling and solid waste reduction in 2017.
In February, members of the Commission developed and conducted a survey of residents using
the recycling center. Debra Johnson, Peter Johnson, Brenda Locke and Joe Prevost spent
hours at the Center surveying residents. Most notable results included 37% acknowledging they
used the Swap Shop, but wanted to see improvements and 36% were interested in a food waste
collection program. Only 19% of users did not know where to place mercury items but 32% did
not know about our battery collection. Mercury, and the lead and cadmium contained in batteries
and electronic products, must be managed separately and carefully. Residents should always ask
on-site staff for help in managing any hazardous waste. Comments were also sought regarding
hours of operation; traffic flow and the yellow bag system. Most concurred that the hours were
workable; but that the traffic flow continued to be a problem because people stop and block others.
Other than a medium size yellow bag shortage in the latter part of the year, and a change in
nomenclature (from small to mini and medium to small), the system remains effective in reducing
trash and encouraging recycling.
Educational outreach was multi-faceted and included an in-person presentation at the Brewster
Community Network meeting early in the year. Chairperson Meg Morris and DPW Superintendent
Patrick Ellis provided an overview of the PAYT results and answered many specific questions
on what and how to recycle some of the more uncommon items. Eight articles were written by
Chairperson Morris and featured monthly in the Cape Codder. Topics included ewaste, glass,
PAYT, hazardous waste, helium balloons, carbon footprint reduction, the China impact and food
waste. Members of the Commission hosted a booth at the Brewster Conservation Trust Day in
early July where they fielded questions about recycling and solid waste management. Members of
the Commission also subsequently conducted a ‘show and tell’ session at the Recycling Center to
share information about what products are made from certain commonly recycled items.
The makeup of the Commission changed once again in July due to the retirement of John
Cunningham, one of the original members of the Recycling Commission. Mr. Cunningham’s calm
demeanor and engineering background played a very important role in the success of the Pay-As-
You-Throw program. The Commission suggested recognition of Mr. Cunningham to the Board of
Selectmen (now Select Board). His service on the Recycling Commission (as well as other Town
Committees) was recognized and he was honored with a plaque.
The new traffic pattern for drop off, which was discussed in 2016, was implemented mid-year and
appears to be working well. Drive and parking lanes were discussed, but usage needs to be the
dictating factor prior to final striping.
The Swap Shop was totally cleaned out by the Department of Public Works so that needed building
repairs could be made and the volunteers could start fresh. It did re-open, following a healthy
discussion between the Swap Shop volunteers, Town Hall Staff and Recycling Commission
members, however, due to lack of volunteers, it closed down again late in the year. The Commission
recommended that in the future, only Brewster residents holding a valid permit should be allowed
to drop off swap items because if they are not ‘swapped’ the town must pay to disposed of them.
Beach recycling continued in 2017 with only minor changes, although one such change was the pick up at Crosby
Beach seven days a week during the summer months and a slight extension of the term due to the warm weather.

The Commission debated over the course of several meetings about what kind of organics program
would serve the needs of Brewster residents. It was concluded that a simple system would be
best in order to ascertain first how much use it would get. Once volumes are determined, a more
sophisticated system may be warranted. The Commission did entertain a discussion about the
EcoVim system, but felt the transfer station was not the right application for the machine at this
time. A simpler collection barrel for organics, which are then transported to Watts Farm, is slated
to begin in 2018.
Other recycling container changes included commingling of the glass, plastic and metal containers
into a compactor, as well as combining cardboard and paper into a different compactor. An
updated Recycling Guide was edited and produced, including new information about recycling
textiles, lightbulbs and batteries.
With input from the Recycling Commission members, the Department of Public Works entered into
new recycling agreements which should be more economical even with changes in the markets.
Yellow bag waste is still contracted to go to SEMASS to produce renewable energy.
Late in the year, the Department of Public Works requested input from the Recycling Commission
about certain fees, including increasing the sticker fee, the construction and demolition fee and
the fee for mattresses. All increases were to be presented to the Select Board for final approval in
early 2018.
The Commission is planning continued educational outreach for the coming year and looks forward
to kicking off the food waste program, for which the Commission will provide written and verbal
education.

REPORT OF CAPE COD REGIONAL TRANSIT AUTHORITY
The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) has provided 22,030 one-way passenger
trips in Brewster from January 2017 through December 2017.
The Flex, H20 Bus services and DART continue to provide a means for all citizens to have mobility.
People (young and old) have learned to use the system to enjoy greater flexibility in their lives.
For those people living in South Brewster or working at the Peasant Bay Facilities the H2O line
(Orleans to Hyannis) provides Flag Stop service on Route 39. This route now connects to Stop
and Shop in East Harwich which also is a stop on the FLEX route.
The schedules provide for great connections and convenience with the H2O (Orleans to Hyannis)
and Provincetown shuttle More people are finding that the bus is an efficient and enjoyable way to
travel. The service provides a means for people without other transportation to lead normal lives.
Brewster ridership on the Flex route for this year from January to December 2017 was 4,602
people which are the total of riders who boarded the buses in Brewster; this does not include
people arriving from other towns. Total Flex ridership for all seven towns was 86,741. The Flag
200
Stop pick up in Brewster for either FLEX or H2O makes it very convenient to “catch a bus.” The
use of the service by everyone also contributes to fewer cars on the road and a better atmosphere.
The DART (Dial-a-Ride Transportation) Service for Brewster people added up to 6,056 one way
trips. 153 people enjoyed the use of this service. The DART provides an excellent door to door
way for anyone to get around as I can say from personal experience.
The Boston Hospital Transportation service provided 40 Brewster residents with 153 one-way
trips. My wife and I rode this bus which takes you right to the Hospital you need to go to. No
traffic or parking problems. The CCRTA also provides Medicaid and Day Habilitation transportation
across the Cape.
The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority provides the Brewster Council on Aging a Mobility
Assistance Program (MAP) vehicle that provided 2,150 rides in 2017.
“Use the Third Bridge, Ride the Train” was again a total success for the CapeFLYER this past
summer helping all riders avoid the traffic and have an enjoyable ride. A special Bicycle Car makes
the bringing of bikes a lot easier. Starting Memorial Day weekend this year the CapeFLYER will
ride the rails again. Watch for the exciting announcements with some additions to the service.
Route maps, schedules, fares, Google Transit Trip Planner and the latest news about Cape Cod
public transportation services are provided at www.capecodrta.org, as well as links to many other
transportation resources. The citizens and Selectmen are to be thanked for their support and
assistance.
Try riding the Flex, H20, DART, AND ride the CapeFLYER!

REPORT OF THE TOWN ARCHIVIST
Brewster's Archivist has taken on more research-and-writing projects related to town history
than she is ever likely to complete, but she intends to focus this year on completing a book
based on a journal kept by a Brewster ship captain who survived a shipwreck in 1859 and
lived to tell the tale.

REPORT OF THE VETERANS SERVICES DEPARTMENT
One of our two primary functions is to administer low-income benefits under Massachusetts
General Law Chapter 115 for veterans who are honorably-discharged, who establish need
and worthiness and are residents of the Town of Brewster. During the year, the Town of
Brewster, through our office, provided local aid to qualified veterans totaling more than $71,269.00
for housing, food, heat, medical and other related costs. The amount expended was reimbursed
to the Town by the Commonwealth at a rate of 75% of total expenditures.
We also provide services to veterans in obtaining the full range of federal government (Veterans’
Affairs) benefits. Over the past year this office obtained $1,713,948 in VA cash benefits for service-
connected injuries and VA non-service-connected pensions for Brewster veterans and widows/
widowers. These federal funds greatly reduce the demand on our local aid fund.
201
We encourage any veteran or dependent of a veteran to contact us at 1-508-778-8740 Monday
through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. We can also schedule appointments in one of our
offices, at your home or any location that is best for you. Our Harwich office is open Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, 9:00 AM to 4:00PM and is located at 100 Oak Street. The phone
number is 508-430-7510.
We extend our thanks to the Board of Selectmen, the Town Administrator and Town Accountant for
their outstanding support throughout the year.

REPORT OF THE WATER QUALITY REVIEW COMMITTEE
This committee’s mission is to implement Brewster’s Groundwater Protection Bylaw that
protects the quality of the town’s drinking water and water resources. The committee
consists of representatives of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Health, Planning Board,
Conservation Commission, Water Commission, Health Director and Building Commissioner.
Our purpose, as defined by the Water Quality Protection bylaw (Sections 179-53 to 179-62 of the
Brewster Zoning bylaws) that created the committee, is to:
• Promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community by ensuring an adequate
quality and quantity of drinking water for the residents, institutions and businesses of the
town;
• Preserve and protect all existing and potential sources of drinking water supplies within the
town;
• Protect other sensitive water resource areas, including those land areas that contribute
recharge to private drinking water supply wells;
• Prevent temporary and permanent contamination of the water resources of the town.
The bulk of the committee's work consists of reviewing applications for water quality
certificates of compliance. These certificates are required of all non-residential properties
in Zones I and II surrounding town wells, the Groundwater Protection District, and the
Pleasant Bay Watershed. Applications must document conformance with the conditions
establishing the Water Quality Protection District. Every three years the certificate must be
renewed with documentation of any changes, demonstration that any Title 5 septic systems
are functioning satisfactorily, demonstration that any decommissioned wells are secured
from access, and that all conditions of the bylaw are being met.
The bulk of the committee's work is focused on the Freeman's Way area where industrial and
commercial activities are in close proximity to Wells 1, 2, and 3 of the Brewster Water Department,
as well as numerous private wells and wells for the town of Orleans. In addition to the normal
certificate process the committee this year reviewed and commented on the application for a
Cross Fit facility at the junction of Route 137 and Freemans Way. The Water Quality Review
Committee held hearings on the proposal and then advised the Planning Board who is the special
permit granting authority for issuing new permits. One result of the committee's effort was that
construction of the facility will require an enhanced septic system.
The committee continues to keep close tabs on the operations of two wood waste processors in
town as well as the golf course. In each case it looks at the results of water quality monitoring in
assessing the ongoing operations of each.
The committee would like to express its appreciation to administrative assistant Judith Miller
whose work allows the committee to function smoothly. We thank her for her help with committee
matters.

REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT
In 2017, the Brewster Water Department continued using Advanced Enterprise Systems
Corporation (Utility Cloud) for distribution system flushing maintenance and with minor changes
continues to be completed more efficiently each time. Cross connection survey’s and backflow
device testing using Utility Cloud began in 2017 as well as data collection for monthly and
annual reporting. There are future plans to utilize Utility Cloud for workorder tracking and asset
management.
Online bill pay was introduced with the August water billing giving water customers options for
conveniently paying their semi-annual water bills. In addition, The Brewster Water Department is
nearing completion in converting water meters from manual reading to radio reading technology,
making meter reading more efficient.
2017 Annual Town meeting approved three projects for the Brewster Water Department:
• Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) which is the collection of data and
alarms from wells and treatment plants for reporting and 24/7/365 monitoring. This was awarded
to Fall River Electrical.
• Storage Tank maintenance was awarded to Lemerick Steeplejacks, Inc. for coating repairs
in order to prolong the coatings on both storage tanks and the need for an overall coating removal
and painting at great expense.
• Well #2 & #4 rehabilitation and cleaning was awarded to Maher Services.
The Board of Water Commissioners would like to recognize the dedicated and professional work of
our Water Department Staff whose combined efforts are the reason for the success and efficiency
of our operation. We would also like to express our appreciation to the residents of the Town of
Brewster and the other town departments and employees whose help and cooperation contributed
greatly to that success during the past year.

REPORT OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) is a quasi- judicial body empowered under the provisions
Massachusetts General Law 40 A, also known as the Zoning Act, to hear and decide
applications for variances, special permits, comprehensive permits (M.G.L. 40B) and appeals
from decisions of the Zoning Enforcement Officer.
The Zoning Board of Appeals consists of nine members appointed by the Selectmen, five regular
members and four alternate members. Currently the board consists of regular members Brian
Harrison (Chair), Arthur Stewart (Vice-chair), Bruce MacGregor and John Nixon and Patricia
Eggers. Alternate members are Jean Kampas, and William (Bill) Hoag. We currently have two
vacancies on the board.
During calendar year 2017 twenty-five (25) regular applications were heard by the board. There
were 22 approvals, including; 11 special permits, 9 variances, and 2 appeals of the Zoning
Enforcement Officer. Two applications were withdrawn; one special permit and one variance. A
comprehensive permit (40B) application is on-going.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul Kearney and Les Erikson for their many years
of service on the Board. Their thoughtfulness and dedication will be missed.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Marilyn Mooers our Administrative Clerk and
Ryan Bennett, Town Planner for their contributions to the Board which are essential to our success.
Respectfully submitted,
Brian Harrison, Chair
REPORT OF THE ZONING ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
Municipal Zoning Bylaws (land use regulations) are unique in that the townspeople, with a
minimum 2/3 majority at Town Meeting, vote to regulate themselves, which demands a high
amount of respect and obligation from the Building Commissioner/Zoning Enforcement
Officer and the Building Department. Though the incidents can be quite varied, the approach for
regulating what people can and cannot do on their property stays constant within the language
of the Zoning Bylaws. Introducing a property owner to use and dimensional restrictions on their
own property often takes a considerable amount of time, diplomacy and resources of the Building
Department. Another responsibility of the Building Commissioner/Zoning Agent entails assuring
that applicants remain true to all conditions stipulated in Variances, Special Permits and approved
subdivisions that have been granted by the Board of Appeals and/or the Planning Board. This
type of oversight often requires constant vigilance by the Building Department for the life of the
property.
This office made numerous zoning complaint investigations, inspections, interpretations and
decisions during the calendar year 2017. Building Permit applications always involve some sort of
zoning determination, particularly now that land that used to be considered marginal for construction
is receiving more pressure for development purposes. The Brewster Zoning Bylaws can now be
accessed via the Town’s website <www.brewster-ma.gov>. If you have any specific questions
regarding how the Brewster Zoning Bylaws interact with your property either dimensionally; i.e.
setbacks, lot coverage, or by use; i.e. commercial, home occupation, signs, we request that you
submit your question in writing so that an accurate account of responses can be maintained for
future reference. If you have general questions, we would advise reviewing the Zoning Bylaws or
contacting the Building Department.
Respectfully submitted,
Victor E. Staley, Brewster Building Commissioner/Zoning Enforcement Officer

ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES
Cape Cod Regional Government (known as Barnstable County)
First District Courthouse, Route 6A
Barnstable, MA 02630
The Assembly of Delegates is the legislative branch of Cape Cod Regional Government (also
known as Barnstable County government). Each town within the county is duly represented on
the Assembly of Delegates. Delegates are elected by the voters from each town for a two-year
(calendar) term. The vote of each delegate is a weighted vote based on the 2010 U. S. Decennial
Census. Barnstable has the largest weighted vote of 20.92% and Truro has the smallest weighted
vote of 0.93%.
On Wednesday, January 4, 2017, delegates to the Fifteenth Session (2017 – 2018) of the Assembly
of Delegates were sworn-in and assumed their duties. E. Suzanne McAuliffe (Yarmouth) was
elected Speaker, Deborah McCutcheon (Truro) was elected Deputy Speaker, and Janice O’Connell
continued as the Assembly Clerk.
The Assembly of Delegates holds regular meetings on the first and third Wednesday of each
month at 4:00 p.m. in the Chamber Hall of the Assembly of Delegates, First District Courthouse
in Barnstable. Soon, the Assembly will relocate to new meeting space on the Barnstable County
Complex.
The legislative powers of county government are vested in the Assembly of Delegates, and except
as provided in the Barnstable County Home Rule Charter, the acts of the Assembly of Delegates
are required to be by ordinance. Ordinances are brought forward to the Assembly of Delegates and
then referred for review and discussion to a Standing Committee of the Assembly by the Speaker
prior to receiving a recommendation from the committee for a vote by the full Assembly. The public
can participate in the process when a proposed ordinance is scheduled for a public hearing by the
appropriate Standing Committee. Delegates are appointed to serve on the Standing Committees
of the Assembly and may also be appointed to serve on other ad hoc or special committees.
The Standing Committees of the 15th Session of the Assembly of Delegates are as follows:
• Economic Affairs: addresses economic development in Barnstable County
• Finance: reviews the budget and looks at every major decision rendered by the Barnstable
County government that has financial implications including inter-governmental fiscal
policies and procedures
• Governmental Regulations: address all matters relating to the Regional Policy Plan
(committee composition consists of the Chairs of all other Standing Committees)
• Health and Human Services: addresses matters relating to public health, social services
and housing
• Natural Resources: addresses matters relating to environmental matters
• Public Services: addresses matters relating to public services
• Telecommunications and Energy: addresses matters relevant to telecommunications and
energy policy and budgetary decisions of the Assembly and to the general welfare of the
citizens of Barnstable County.
Members of each Standing Committee will review the components of all proposed ordinances
assigned to and under consideration by each appropriate committee prior to issuing a report to
the full Assembly.
An important and significant responsibility of the Assembly is the review and adoption of a proposed
budget for the ensuing fiscal year. A proposed budget is submitted to the Assembly of Delegates
by the Board of County Commissioners (executive branch of Barnstable County government)
each February. Standing Committees meet with department managers, review their budgets and
programs, look at the goals and effectiveness of each program, and consider information that is
206
gathered through the public hearing process prior to making a recommendation to the full Assembly
for a vote. This budget process typically takes place between February and May of each year.
During FY2017 (July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017), the Assembly of Delegates adopted twelve
Ordinances (#16-08 through 16-10, 17-01 through 17-08). A complete list of all ordinances adopted
