Sherman C. Reed
May 11, 1928 — November 25, 2014
Sherman "Sherm" C. Reed, a longtime resident of Orleans, will be remembered for his
keen leadership and contributions to Orleans. Sherm grew up in Lexington and
Winthrop, Massachusetts and graduated in 1950 from the U.S. Naval Academy in
Annapolis, Maryland. In 1955 he graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, taught at M.I.T. and designed and contributed to articles written on high
performance ships. During his years in Orleans, Sherm took pride in the home that he
built. He also worked tirelessly for his community, was labeled a "think tank", and was
known in town for his intellect and impact. He deserves true recognition from his fellow
citizens as he saw many projects through to fruition and he served on many
Committees:
Cape Bikeway Committee
Cape Cod Joint Transportation Committee
Charter Advisory Committee
Charter Commission
Old Colony Way Extension Committee
Finance Committee
Plan Evaluation
Search Committee
Site Plan Evaluation Committee
Traffic Study Committee

BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND TOWN ADMINISTRATOR
In 2014, the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator continued their efforts to keep
the public informed on issues that were before the Town, and the Board's open door
policy ensured the public was welcome at any hearings and meetings.
Through the combined efforts of the Board and Town Administrator, a number of
projects and initiatives were completed and many of the actions listed as part of their
annual goals were achieved including:
•Established the Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel to guide studies and
assessments, define preferred approaches, seek consensus and build
widespread community support for a customized, affordable water quality
management plan for the Town of Orleans.
•Extended the Tri-Town IMA to operate the Septage Treatment Facility until December
2016.
•Established a qualified trust fund at town meeting to cover the costs of Other Post-
Employment Benefits (OPEB) and manage future liabilities.
•Updated the Town's website using Virtual Town Hall's new content management
system platform to provide comprehensive and user friendly information about
budgets, capital projects and other key issues.
•Expanded the 5-year Capital Improvements Plan to include all proposed capital outlay
expenditures in excess of$10,000, including motor vehicle and equipment
purchases, facility repairs, materials and supplies will be included in the CIP
summarized by department and funding source.
•Established a new motor vehicle and equipment stabilization fund at town meeting to
support the replacement of vehicles and equipment with dedicated funds.
•Completed a comprehensive review of existing fee structures for all Town
Departments.
•Developed a zero-based budget for the Transfer Station function within the
Department of Public Works and Natural Resources.
•Conducted a mid-year budget review to evaluate progress toward achieving the
Board's financial goals and a year-end budget review to analyze the budget process
and identify opportunities for improvement.
Also in 2014, Nate Sears was promoted to Natural Resources Manager to replace
Dawson Farber who retired and Selectmen David Dunford and Sims McGrath were re-
elected to the Board.
As we move forward, we will continue to ensure that the residents and visitors of
Orleans receive prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable customer service, while
retaining cost efficiency as a priority. We will strive in these tough economic times to
maintain the core services that our residents expect while considering new initiatives
that improve current practices.
The Selectmen and Town Administrator wish to thank the many citizens who have
provided significant volunteer service to the Town. Without them, Orleans could not
function as well as we do. And last, but certainly not least, the Board of Selectmen
appreciates and thanks our dedicated employees for their hard work and
professionalism which makes Orleans such a special place to live and visit.
Respectfully submitted,
David M. Dunford, Chairman &John F. Kelly, Town Administrator

TOWN CLERK
The Clerk's office posts meetings and schedules meeting rooms for Town boards,
committees and commissions; on our official posting board and on the town's website.
Located "front and center" in the main entrance lobby, we are frequently busy greeting,
assisting and directing the public.
In addition to our routine "public" activities of registering voters, conducting Town
meetings and elections, selling clamming permits, issuing dog licenses, registering and
certifying birth, marriage and death records, issuing business certificates, raffle permits
and gas storage tank permits and serving as the switchboard and information center for
Town government, we also work behind the scenes in cataloging and preserving the
ongoing and historical records of the Town.
This was the year for updating and computerizing many of the informational and
recording keeping systems in the Clerk's office. The State's Department of Public
Health instituted the electronic death reporting system similar to the birth reporting
system introduced last year. Three new databases for Dog Licensing, Boards &
Commissions, and Business Certificates & Underground Storage Permits were added to
facilitate recording keeping and reporting. And finally the website was updated and the
meeting schedule calendar revamped. Thank you to the MIS Department.
2014 was again a busy election year starting with the Annual and Special Town
Meetings and Town Election in May, the State Primary Election in September, a Special
Town Meeting in October, and finally the State Election in November.
A special thank you to my assistant, Kelly Darling for all her continued hard work and
dedication during this year.

MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #27 as printed in the warrant.
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on this article on January 28, 2014. 26
people were in attendance. The Board received no comments in favor of or opposed to
this amendment. The Planning Board voted 5-0-0 to recommend approval.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has completed a new Flood
Insurance Study and revised its Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). Barnstable County
towns are required to adopt the new maps as local regulations prior to July 16, 2014. If
the maps are not adopted, properties in Orleans will be deemed ineligible to participate
in the National Flood Insurance Program.
Issuance by FEMA of a Notice of Final Determination is the culmination of a 3 year
public review process, during which the maps were revised in response to comments.
The new maps replace the existing 1992 FIRM maps which were created prior to
digitization of data and are less accurate. Under the 1992 FIRM, 288 buildings are
located in the flood zone. When the 2013 FIRM is adopted, 321 buildings will be in the
flood zone. This changes reflects the accuracy of the maps with respect to topography,
as well as a more sophisticated model use for the agency's Wave Set-up Analysis.
Sections 164-6 and 164-19 of the Zoning Bylaw are proposed to be amended in
accordance with FEMA requirements. Adoption of the new FIRM is required. Absent
Town Meeting approval, Orleans properties within the flood zone would no longer be
eligible to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. This action is not related
to a parallel effort by FEMA to recover costs from previous flood events by raising flood
insurance rates.
ACTION: Voice voted carries by necessary 2/3 majority.

PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on this article on January 28, 2014. Twenty
six people were in attendance. The Board received several helpful comments on the
proposal. The Planning Board voted 5-0-0 to recommend approval.
This article proposes 2 changes to the regulation of signs in the town. The Chamber of
Commerce requested clarifications on the allowance of A-frame signs for street front
businesses and about off-premises signs for special events in the community. The
Board of Realtors inquired about the display of open house signs to direct people to real
estate open houses.
Presently, A-frame signs under 6 s.f. are allowed, but little guidance is given for
location, duration, and what they may advertise. It is proposed that A-frame signs not
larger than 6 s.f. be allowed with certain guidance. Such signs may advertise a primary
use of the business (such as a menu board of daily specials at a restaurant); they must
be removed daily; and must be located on the subject property and not the Town road
layout.
For off-premises signs, these signs are currently prohibited except for public display
areas specifically designated by the Board of Selectmen. As such, off-premises signs
which are used to advertise special events including open houses are technically
prohibited. What is proposed is that yard sale, open house and special event signs
would be allowed. Such signs cannot be placed in the road layout without approval of
the Board of Selectmen, nor within 2 feet of the travelled way of a road.
Lastly, while the bylaw was under review, miscellaneous minor language clarifications
were proposed to make it more readable and understandable.
ACTION: Voice vote carries by necessary 2/3 majority.

PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on this article on January 28, 2014. 26
people were in attendance. The Board received no comments in favor of or opposed to
this amendment. The Planning Board voted 5-0-0 to recommend approval.
In 2012, legislation was passed making medical marijuana legal in Massachusetts. Acts
of 2012, Chapter 369. Last year's Town Meeting adopted a moratorium on medical
marijuana facilities, pending new regulations by the MA Dept. of Public Health. The
regulations are in place, which allow communities to regulate the siting of such facilities,
as long as the requirements are consistent with the state regs.
Planning Board looked at alternatives for where a medical marijuana facility could be
located in Orleans. They considered the Industrial District, Limited Business District,
and General Business District. The Board's perspective was that this use is similar to a
pharmacy and should be allowed in much the same manner. The Board noted that
there may be reason for increased safeguards with such a facility, and has incorporated

•Hours of operation are limited to no more than 8AM to 8PM
• It shall not be located within 500 feet of a school or day care facility

ARTICLE 30. AMEND ZONING BYLAW SECTION 164-21, NOTE 5
To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaws, Section 164-21, note 5, to
read as follows:
(Strikethre gh - language removed
81
Bold underlined.— language added)
(note) 5 - The building coverage in a residential district shall not exceed fifteen (15%)
percent of the buildable upland. However, building coverage in a residential district
shall not exceed 4,000 square feet without the issuance of a Special Permit under the
provisions of§164-44. Minimum Yard Dimensions for a new structure, or addition
to an existing structure which causes the building coverage on the lot to exceed
four thousand (4,000) square feet shall be twice that required in the zoning
district. In no event shall the Board of Appeals be authorized to grant a Special Permit
which would result in a building coverage which exceeds fifteen (15%) percent of the
buildable upland.
or to take any other action relative thereto. (2/3 Vote Required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #30 as printed in the warrant.
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on this article on January 28, 2014. 26
people were in attendance. The Board received no comments in favor of or opposed to
this amendment. The Planning Board voted 5-0-0 to recommend approval.
Over the last few years, residents have expressed concern about very large homes
being built in established neighborhoods having a detrimental effect on community
character. The Planning Board has wrestled with the issue for several years. The
Planning Board has looked at a host of alternatives to try to protect residential
properties while allowing property owners to be able to construct a large home if their
property is suitable.
After much discussion, what is proposed is to increase the building setbacks for large
homes. Under the existing bylaw, whenever building coverage is proposed to exceed
4,000 s.f., a SP from the ZBA is required. What is proposed is that the yard dimensions
for such large homes be twice that required, or 50 feet in a Residential District.
The language pertains to a new structure or an addition to an existing structure that
causes building coverage to exceed 4,000 s.f.
The proposal protects existing property owners by requiring that large homes be set
back further away from neighbors. The Planning Board is not against allowing a
property owner to construct a large dwelling, but that dwelling should not be allowed to
overwhelm a more modest home next door.
Analysis of lots in town shows that most residential lots in the town could still support a
large home, and on those lots the setbacks would need to be greater. So the bylaw
would not excessively restrict large homes, but would have an impact on siting. The
Planning Board felt that this amendment would help to protect existing homes and
neighbors from the impacts of very large homes nearby, and we recommend your
approval.
ACTION: Standing vote, Yes=156, No=136, motion fails to attain necessary 2/3
majority.

ARTICLE 31. AMEND ZONING BYLAW SECTION 164-27. TENTS, TRAILERS, AND
MOBILE CAMPING UNITS
To see if the Town will vote to amend Section 164-27, Tents, Trailers, and Mobile
Camping Units, by adding a new subsection C. to read as follows:
C. Notwithstanding the above, trailers may be used for storage on a lot in the
Industrial Zoning District, provided the following conditions are met:
1.Trailers may not be occupied.
2.Trailers must be screened from all street frontages by landscaping, fencing
or other means.
3.A trailer must be set back from side and rear property lines a distance equal
to its height. It shall not obstruct egress, parking or access to dumpsters
on the premise.
4.Trailers may not contain hazardous materials unless approved by the
Orleans Fire Chief, and shall be posted on the door if required.
5.Trailers shall not have electricity, heating, or refrigeration.
All trailers must comply with this subsection by May 12, 2016.

or to take any other action relative thereto. (2/3 Vote Required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt as printed in the warrant, seconded, oral.
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on this article on January 28, 2014. 26
people were in attendance. The Board received many comments from residents and
property owners concerning the amendment. The Planning Board voted 5-0-0 to
recommend approval.
Storage trailers are prohibited town-wide, except allowed on a temporary basis
incidental to the construction of a permanent home or business. Nonetheless, storage
containers and trailers are observable in many parts of the town and in all zoning
districts. Such storage trailers are in violation of local zoning.
Before taking enforcement action, the Building Commissioner forwarded the issue to the
Planning Board. The Board considered whether storage trailers should be permitted in
some limited capacity.
83
Storage units in a residential setting detract from the character of a neighborhood and
may have an adverse effect on property values. In a business setting, a storage unit
creates a low-investment, temporary or low-quality effect. To date, trailers have only
been lawfully permitted on a temporary basis.
The proposed amendment would allow storage trailers ONLY in the Industrial District,
and only if several conditions are met. The Board met with 2 dozen Ind. District
property owners, and arrived at a set of conditions that they think is reasonable. The
basic conditions are as follows:
1.The trailer may not be occupied.
2.Screening from the street is required.
3.Must be meet setback requirements and not obstruct access.
4.May not contain hazardous materials unless approved by the Fire Chief, and
posting of hazardous materials is required.
A date for full compliance with the requirements was set at 2 years after the date of
Town Meeting. Storage trailers in violation of the new proposed bylaw would need to be
removed.
Let me just reiterate, that under the exiting bylaw, storage trailers are prohibited. The
proposed bylaw would allow them only in the Industrial District. This would be
supportive of the many businesses in the District which provide services to residents.
We recommend your approval.

PHOSPHORUS CONTROL
To see if the Town will vote to amend Chapter 103, Fertilizer Nitrogen Control to read as
follows:
CH. 103 — FERTILIZER NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS CONTROL
95
103-1. Purpose
A Town bylaw to conserve resources and protect the environment by regulating the
outdoor application of nitrogen and phosphorus in order to reduce the overall
amount of excess nitrogen and phosphorus entering the town's Resource Areas as
defined in the Orleans Wetlands Protection Bylaw (CH. 160-2) and Orleans Wetland
Protection Regulations CH 196A-2. Reducing excess nitrogen and phosphorus
helps protect and improve water quality of Orleans valuable surface waters.
103-2.Applicability
This bylaw shall apply to and regulate any and all applications of nitrogen and
phosphorus fertilizer within the Town of Orleans.
103-3. Definitions
"Agriculture" includes farming in all its branches, generally as the cultivation and
tillage of soil, dairying, the production cultivation, growing and harvesting of
agricultural, floricultural, viticultural, or horticultural commodities, and shellfishing,
including preparations and delivery to storage or to market or to carriers for
transportation to market.
"Best Management Practice," BMP, means a sequence of activities designed
to limit a nonpoint pollution source. For the purposes of this Bylaw and
pursuant to Section 103-6 of this Bylaw, BMP means the most current edition
of "Best Management Practices for Soil and Nutrient Management in Turf
Systems," prepared by University of Massachusetts Extension, Center for
Agriculture, Turf Program.
"Fertilizer' means a substance that enriches the soil with elements essential for plant
growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium or other substances; fertilizer does
not include those nutrients that are normally excluded from fertilizer such as
chemicals that are part of dolomite, limestone, or lime.
"Impervious surface" means a surface that has been compacted or covered with a
layer of material so that it is highly resistant to infiltration by water.
"Nitrogen" means an element essential to plant growth. For the purposes of the
Bylaw, nitrogen may be available as slow-release, controlled-release, timed-release,
slowly available, or water insoluble nitrogen, which means nitrogen in a form that
delays its availability for plant uptake and use after application and is not rapidly
available to turf and other plants; and/or quick-release, water-soluble nitrogen which
means nitrogen in a form that does not delay its availability for turf and other plant
uptake and is rapidly available for turf and other plant uptake and use after
application.
"Phosphorus" means mineral and organic substances that contain
phosphorus and that are used for improving the nutrition of plants.
"Turf' means grass-covered soil held together by the roots of the grass, also known
as "sod" or "lawn".
96
103-4. Performance Standards
All applications shall comply with the following standards:
A. The application of nitrogen or phosphorus is prohibited between October 16 and
April 14.
B. No person shall cause nitrogen or phosphorus to apply to, or otherwise be
deposited to any impervious surface including parking lot, driveway, roadway,
sidewalk, or ice. Any fertilizer applied, spilled, and/or deposited on any
impervious surface, either intentionally or accidentally, must be immediately and
completely removed and contained and either legally applied to turf or any other
legal site or retuned to an appropriate container.
G-No person shall apply nitrogen or phosphorus directly h°f^r° ^r,-„r;^^ a hea r^;^
eveRtduring or immediately prior to heavy rainfall, such as but not limited
to thunderstorms, hurricanes, or northeastern storms, or when the soil is
saturated due to intense or extended rainfall.
D. The application of nitrogen or phosphorus is prohibited within 100 feet of Resource
Areas as defined in the Orleans Wetland Protection Bylaw and regulations.
E. Phosphorus containing fertilizer shall not be applied unless a soil test taken
not more than three years before the proposed fertilizer application
indicates that additional phosphorus is needed for growth of that turf, or
unless establishing new turf or re-establishing or repairing turf after
substantial damage or land disturbance, in which case the application shall
be in compliance with the Best Management Practices (BMP) developed by
University of Massachusetts Extension, Center for Agriculture, Turf
Program.
103-5. Exemptions
The following activities shall be exempt from Section 103-4:
A. Application of nitrogen or phosphorus for agriculture and horticulture uses
B. Application of nitrogen or phosphorus to gardens, including vegetable and flower,
trees, shrubs and indoor applications including greenhouses.
C.Application of nitrogen or phosphorus for the establishment of new vegetation in the
first growing season, or repairing of turf in the first growing season, after
substantial damage
D. Yard waste compost or other similar materials that are primarily organic in nature and
are applied to improve the physical condition of the soil.
103-6. Recommendations
A. The Town of Orleans strongly recommends that nitrogen should be applied to turf
and other plants at the lowest rate necessary. Any single application of nitrogen
should not exceed 0.5 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet, and the annual
aggregate total application of nitrogen should not exceed 1.0 pounds per 1000
square feet. The application of any nitrogen should be of an organic, slow-
release, water-soluble form.
103.7. Compliance
Fertilizer shall only be applied in conformance with this section within 2 years
of its effective date.
97
103.8. Enforcement
The enforcement authority shall be the Zoning Enforcement Officer or his designee.
103.9. Severability
Should any section, part, or provision of this bylaw be deemed invalid or
unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining terms of
this bylaw as a whole or any part thereof, other than the section, part, or provision
held invalid or unconstitutional.
or take any other action relative thereto. (Simple Majority Vote Required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #7 as printed in the warrant.
Stephen Bornemeier, Planning Board
Thanks for the opportunity to speak about this important addition to Orleans wastewater
management.
In 2013, Town Meeting approved a Nitrogen Control Bylaw. This evening it is proposed
to amend the existing bylaw in order to prohibit phosphorus fertilizer applications to turf
and lawns in the off-season, onto impervious surfaces, before and during a heavy rain,
or within 100 feet of a wetland resource. Exemptions are provided for agriculture,
horticulture, gardens, trees, and shrubs. New vegetation, repair of turf, and composting
are also exempt.
7 to 10% of the phosphorus load in Orleans watersheds comes from fertilizer and
reducing the load will help to maintain the health of local waters. According to the 2007
Ponds Report by UMASS, twenty-one ponds in Orleans exceed the "healthy" pond
threshold for phosphorus. With too much phosphorus in a pond, plant growth
increases, leading to ecological imbalance and eventual eutrophication. A significant
source of phosphorus comes from lawn fertilizers applied improperly or unnecessarily.
The Bylaw is a statement of what the Town considers to be best management practices.
The goal is to change lawn care practices in the town to minimize leaching or runoff of
fertilizer nutrients. The bylaw is intended to help educate residents on proper ways to
manage lawns if they have them.
The proposal is an outgrowth of the Cape-wide District of Critical Planning Concern
adopted by the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates. The DCPC allows towns to
adopt fertilizer regulations up until December 18, 2014, after which the MA Department
of Agriculture has sole jurisdiction to regulate fertilizer. Your consideration of this article
is therefore timely. The Planning Board requests your positive vote.
ACTION:Voted, voice vote carries by the necessary majority.
ARTICLE 8. AUTHORIZE HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN SURCHARGE FEE
To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen, acting as Park
Commissioners to establish a surcharge fee of up to nineteen ($19.00) dollars on the
sale of each over sand vehicle sticker sold beginning in March 2015 to pay for the

Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) permits from the Federal and State Fish and Wildlife
Services to provide limited over sand vehicle use of Nauset Beach south of the bathing
beach parking lot during the summer migratory bird nesting season, or to take any other
98
action relative thereto. (Simple Majority Vote Required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #8 as printed in the warrant and that a surcharge
fee of up to Nineteen Dollars ($19) be established for the purposes set forth in the
article.
ACTION:Voted, voice vote carries by the necessary majority.
ARTICLE 9. FUND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES — NAUSET SPIT OWNERSHIP
To see if the Town will vote to transfer from available funds a sufficient sum to pay the
legal, surveying and consulting services related to the Town of Orleans ownership claim
to the portion of Nauset Spit located in the Town of Eastham, or to take any other action
relative thereto. (Simple Majority Vote Required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #9 as printed in the warrant and that the sum of
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) be transferred from available funds for this purpose.
ACTION:Voted, voice vote carries by the necessary majority.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE
In 2014, the Affordable Housing Committee worked to advance several projects to
retain or increase affordable housing opportunities. They supported Cape Cod Village,
a proposed home for autistic adults that is in the planning stages. The committee also
supported successful Community Preservation applications for Canal House operations
and for a 6t" home at the Habitat for Humanity project on Bevan Way. All the homes in
the project have been added to the Town's Subsidized Housing Inventory.
The committee continued its outreach efforts to other local and regional housing
agencies in its quest to identify future projects that would further the Town goal of 10%
affordable housing.
The committee is thankful for the many years of service by two members, Jon Holt and
Freddie Fitzgerald.

AGRICULTURAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Council represents the town's agricultural community. Its charge includes advising
and collaborating with boards, committees, and other local organizations on matters
consistent with the Agricultural Task Force Final Report and the Orleans
Comprehensive Plan.
Throughout the year, the Council worked with the Conservation Department and
Conservation Commission in planning the unique agricultural development at Putnam
Farm. We anticipate that a portion of the site will be available to growers in the spring of
2015.
In other actions, the Council voted its support for the amendment of the Fertilizer,
Nitrogen, and Phosphorus Control bylaw. It also made a recommendation to increase
the number of Community Gardens. In May, Council members distributed an
informational trifold, "Living Near a Farm," based on the Orleans Right to Farm bylaw.

BARNSTABLE COUNTY HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
The Human Rights Commission assists the county by cultivating an atmosphere of
mutual understanding, and by promoting an understanding of diverse cultures. In
addition, the Commission tries to resolve complaints of discrimination through local
mediation.
Working with the Lower Cape J-1 Summer Host Housing Program, we organized a
party at Rock Harbor. It allowed residents and visitors to welcome the foreign workers
who came here for the summer. I've also been meeting with the Cape Cod Chamber of
Commerce, representatives of the State Department, and the largest sponsors of these
international students — to address Cape-wide issues related to housing and bike safety.
Looking to the future, I hope that we can have more cultural events to allow "public
diplomacy" to flourish, sending the students home with great memories of our country
and town.
The Commission sponsors a "Human Rights Academy" at High Schools and Middle
Schools, including Nauset High School and Middle School. It has been a pleasure to
collaborate with our teachers and students at these events.
An anti-bullying campaign was undertaken for students. Brochures are in wide
circulation for students and parents.
Finally, we're restarting a public information opportunity. I'll be available each first
Friday, 8.00am - 9.00am (expanded days/hours as needed), at a location to be
announced via public comment at the selectmen's meeting and in the media.

BOARD OF HEALTH
In 2014, three new members were welcomed to the Board of Health, David Currier,
Joseph Hartung and Judith Di Brigida.
2014 was also a year of change for the Health Department.
• In May 2014, Lee Mannillo, the contractual agent from the Barnstable County
Department of Health and the Environment, who served in Orleans for 12 years,
passed away. Her knowledge, professionalism, enthusiasm, and caring manner
will be sorely missed.
• In August, Assistant Health Agent Erika Woods left the Orleans Health Department
to take a position with the Barnstable County Department of Health and the
Environment.
• In October, Zackary Seabury was appointed as the Assistant Health Agent for the
town.
In cooperation with the Barnstable County Department of Health and the Environment, the
Board of Health continued its weekly surveillance of the water quality of the town's five
swimming areas during the summer months. All of the 65 samples analyzed met the
bacteriological limits for bathing beaches.
The board also administered the town's contract with the Cape Cod Visiting Nurse
Association. Through this contract, the VNA provides the town with home visits, health
screenings, wellness education programs, immunization clinics, and communicable
disease follow-up investigations.
The Orleans Board of Health continued to contract with the Barnstable County Department
of Health and the Environment for professional services. These additional inspectional
services have assisted the Health Department in handling its workload more efficiently.
Responsibilities of the Health Department staff include: the inspection and regulation of all
permits issued by the Board of Health, response to an investigation of all complaints
pertinent to public health, housing inspections, development and maintenance of the
town's public health emergency response plan, administration of underground storage
tank regulations, filing and investigation of communicable disease reports, sampling of
recreational waters, and attendance at Board of Health and other meetings pertaining to
public health.
During 2014, the Board of Health was represented on the Board of Water and Sewer
Commissioners, Cape Cod Regional Tobacco Control Council, Cape Cod Rabies Task
Force, Cape and Islands Health Agents Coalition, Cape Cod Hoarding Task Force, and
the Orleans Site Plan Review Committee.
The Board of Health and the Health Department wish to express its appreciation to
Gussie McKusick for her 19 years of dedicated service to the Board. Her knowledge
and expertise will be greatly missed.
The Board would also like to thank Job Taylor I I I and Elizabeth Suraci for their time and
service to the Board.
114
The Board of Health expresses its appreciation to: Barnstable County Department of
Health and the Environment for its technical and laboratory assistance. The Board also
thanks the Cape Cod Commission for its assistance, the Animal Hospital of Orleans, who
administered the vaccine at the board's annual rabies clinic, and Duane Boucher, Animal
Inspector.

BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN COMMITTEE
2014 was a busy year for the Bike and Pedestrian committee with efforts focused in
three main areas:
Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety- J1 Foreign Workers
In conjunction with the Orleans Police Department and the Barnstable County
Commissioners we were able to distribute over one hundred sets of blinking safety
lights to J1 Students for whom biking and walking is their primary mode of
transportation. Members of the committee also hosted a table at the J1 Welcome party
at Rock Harbor where bicycle lights were mounted on bikes and helmets and safety
brochures were given away, all free of charge.
115
Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety-Residents and Tourists
The Bike and Pedestrian Committee included a bicycle and motorist safety tip card in
every excise tax bill that was mailed out in Orleans reminding motorists and bikers alike
how to safely and responsibly share our roads. The Committee also made
recommendations to the Board of Selectmen that the Town of Orleans designate three
official bike routes which are heavily used, each originating from the Cape Cod Rail Trail
and leading to points of interest in Orleans. The suggested routes were the Nauset
Beach Route, Skaket Beach Route and Rock Harbor Route. It was recommended that
each route be marked with "Sharrows". The Skaket Beach Route was designated as an
official Route. Speed limits on each suggested route were reduced to 30 MPH.
Members of the committee also attended the annual Coast to Coast ride, and annual
Orleans block party in an effort to promote safe biking to all.
South Orleans Bike Trail Study
Much work has already been put into the study of a potential South Orleans
Bike/Pedestrian Trail through the S. Orleans Watershed by past committee members.
The committee has formed a task force to pick up where this project left off with the
ultimate goal of making a South Orleans Bike/Walking trail a reality.

CAPE COD COMMISSION
The Cape Cod Commission is the regional land use planning, economic development, and
regulatory agency for Barnstable County, Massachusetts. It was created in 1990 to serve
the citizens and 15 towns that comprise Cape Cod. The Commission works toward
maintaining a healthy balance between economic progress and environmental vitality.
"Keeping a special place special" describes the agency's mission to protect the region's
unique qualities.
The 19-member appointed Cape Cod Commission board represents a wide spectrum of
the region and provides oversight for a staff of 40 professionals.
This report represents broad areas of the Commission's work and responsibilities,
highlighting several specific projects and initiatives.

Section 208 Plan Update
The update of the 1978 Section 208 Cape Cod Area-Wide Water Quality Management
Plan, as directed by the Commonwealth, began in earnest in July 2013 with the first of
more than 170 community stakeholder and supporting advisory committees.
The 1978 plan identified increasing residential densities and a three-fold summer
population influx as the cause of isolated water quality and wastewater management
problems. It anticipated that future growth, primarily in more inland areas where most
public water supply wells are located and along the shores of the Cape's many inland
ponds, threatened to cause more serious groundwater contamination and increased
eutrophication in surface waters. Those concerns have been borne out.
The Section 208 Plan Update, conducted under Section 208 of the federal Clean Water
Act, seeks to address excessive nutrient loading in a majority of the Cape's 57 major
118
embayment watersheds through cost effective and supportable actions by towns on a
watershed-by-watershed basis. The extensive public outreach and stakeholder process
was as important as the technical work and innovative decision-support tools developed in
support of the plan.
Overcoming the challenges to restoring many of Cape Cod's marine ecosystems requires
a new approach. The draft Section 208 Plan Update reflects a new approach with five
basic principles.
The plan is watershed based. The most effective and efficient solutions are found by
beginning the consideration of solutions within the jurisdiction of the problem.
The plan leverages existing local plans by making use of the enormous amount of data
and input already collected by Towns as part of their comprehensive wastewater manage-
ment planning to date.
All solutions are considered —everything has to be on the table. The plan takes into
account all technologies and strategies that may be successful on Cape Cod. It evaluates
each technology or approach individually and then looks for appropriate places for its use
as part of a watershed scenario.
The purpose of the plan is to set the parameters for the discussion of solutions on a
watershed basis. The watershed scenarios developed represent a range of options. They
do not suggest an optimal solution.
Cost is considered as part of every watershed scenario and the impact on individual
homeowners is a primary concern. If a solution isn't affordable, it's not doable.
The purpose of the Section 208 Plan Update is to develop an integrated water and
wastewater management system that includes a series of phased approaches that will
remediate groundwater and surface water impairments in each watershed.
The Commission issued a draft report to state and federal regulators in June 2014, with a
public draft scheduled for release and review during the first half of FY 2015. A final draft is
anticipated by January 2015. capecodcommission.org/208
Fertilizer Management DCPC
In response to state legislation that would remove the ability of individual communities
to regulate fertilizers, the Commission initiated a Cape-wide fertilizer management
District of Critical Planning Concern (DCPC). Development of the DCPC and its
implementing regulations included stakeholder meetings with landscape, turf
management and fertilizer industry professionals, as well as numerous opportunities for
public comment and input. The DCPC was approved by Barnstable County and it
provides towns with the opportunity to adopt local bylaws consistent with the
implementing regulations. Participation was voluntary.
Strategic Information Office
The Commission's Strategic Information Office (SIO) continued its technical support and
development of an-e-permitting platform for Cape towns.
Other regional SIO projects included Cape-wide aerial flyover for digital mapping for a
comprehensive Geographic Information Service (GIS) dataset. Towns historically
contracted for such services independently. With most towns participating, an estimated
$1 million in savings was realized.
CEDS/Economic Development
The Commission submitted the first five-year update to the Comprehensive Economic
Development Strategy (CEDS) in June 2013, establishing regional priority projects for the
next five years. CEDS is an important planning document that provides additional federal
economic resources and grant opportunities. Implementation of CEDS initiatives by the
119
Commission and the Cape Cod Economic Development Council was instrumental in
demonstrating the County's commitment to economic development, which led to the
designation of Barnstable County as an Economic Development District by the U.S.
Economic Development Administration in December 2013.
Chapter H Reform
On May 8, 2014, the Cape Cod Commission approved the first increased thresholds under
authority granted by the elected Assembly of Delegates in fall 2013. Chapter H of the
Commission's Code of Regulations allows for increases in developments of regional
impact (DRI) review thresholds by the Commission.
Approved was a revised DRI threshold of up to 40,000 square feet for proposed Research
& Development and Light Manufacturing Uses in the following designated areas: Jonathan
Bourne Drive, Bourne; Edgerton Drive, Falmouth; Falmouth Technology Park, Falmouth;
and Sandwich Industrial Park, Sandwich.
In these areas research & development and light manufacturing uses are allowed up to
40,000 square feet without the need for Commission review. The limited areas for which
threshold relief was provided represent an initial, but not last step for the use of Chapter H.
Interest has already been expressed by several towns in pursuing other such designations
at locations across the Cape.
Smarter Economy Conference
The May 2014 Smarter Economy conference introduced a new online planning tool called
FRED, Flexible Regional Economic Development. Driven by 17 information layers of land
use, economic and social data, FRED helps identify development potential and challenges
in user-selected areas of the Cape. For towns, FRED represents a new way to plan and
identify the locations best suited for new development, redevelopment and other economic
development planning needs. As FRED develops, new layers of data, including local
zoning regulations, will be added to increase its application and utility.
capecodcommission.org/ceds
Regional Solid Waste Negotiations
The Commission facilitated regional negotiations for solid waste disposal on behalf of 11
Cape communities, as well as a number of off-Cape towns. These negotiations resulted in
an initial $17 per ton reduction in prices offered by Covanta through its SEMASS trash-to-
energy plant in Rochester and the timing of the regional negotiation allowed new lower-
cost alternatives to enter the marketplace. This project was funded with District Local
Technical Assistance (DLTA) grant fund administered by the Commission.
Communications/Outreach
Under a Joint Initiative with Barnstable County, a Joint Communications Plan developed
through the Commission and other County departments was recommended to the
Barnstable County Commissioners. The Commission newsletter, The Reporter, was
redeveloped into a website (capecodcommission.org/newsletter) and occasional print
publication. From January through May 2014, Commission Executive Director Paul
Niedzwiecki met with all boards of selectmen and the Barnstable Town Council to provide
an update on Commission activities and progress of the Section 208 Plan Update.
In spring 2014, citizen-initiative petitions seeking town-level action to begin withdrawal
from the Cape Cod Commission were presented as town meeting articles in eight towns
and as a citizen petition for Barnstable Town Council action. All were defeated, either on
procedural votes or direct votes on the merits.

Regulatory Program (Highlights)
LOWE'S HOME IMPROVEMENT CENTER, DENNIS- After a lengthy review allowing for
extensive public comment, both written and through more than 15 public hearings and
subcommittee meetings, in January 2014 the full membership of the Commission denied
an application by Lowe's Home Centers, Inc. for a new 106,000-square-foot store on
Theophilus F. Smith Road in Dennis. An appeal of the Commission's denial of a
Development of Regional Impact permit for this proposed development was filed and
dismissed by stipulation in June 2014.
Water Resources
Water Staff provides technical assistance to the towns, citizens and the County on water
resources projects including: water supply, wastewater and stormwater management,
fresh water ponds, and marine waters,
Project assistance included numerous technical assessments, Cape-wide well monitoring,
planning, education and regulatory review on all aspects of Cape Cod's water resources.
Water staff participates on a variety of local and regional committees and strives to
develop strategies to implement cost-effective solutions to capitalize on common regional
needs across the Cape.
• Coordinated PALS (Ponds and Lake Stewards) pond sampling program
• Provided technical assistance with adaptive management plan
Transportation
The Cape Cod Commission's transportation staff provides technical expertise in
transportation and traffic-related matters for the Commission, its staff, and the 15 Cape
Cod towns. The Cape Cod Commission Act charges the Commission with furthering and
coordinating the provision of"adequate capital facilities," including transportation services,
through the goals and standards specified in the Cape Cod Regional Policy Plan.
The Commission provides administrative and staff support for the Cape Cod Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO), and the Cape Cod Joint Transportation Committee
(CCJTC).
In FY2014, the Commission administered more than $30 million in Cape-based
transportation projects, funded through the Cape Cod Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP). capecodcommission/transportation

CAPE COD NATIONAL SEASHORE ADVISORY COMMISSION
The Advisory Commission held several meetings last year. From the Orleans point of
view the issue of the National Seashore's position with respect to driving on Nauset Spit
was discussed at several meetings. I took the position, with the approval of the
Selectmen, that Orleans believes it owns the land on Nauset Spit and will proceed with
whatever regulatory permission is needed to continue to permit Orleans residents to
drive on Nauset Spit with proper environmental controls. Orleans has voted funds to
review the current ownership of Nauset Spit and I stand ready to assert the town's
position with respect to continued driving on Nauset Spit.
The Seashore Advisory Commission unanimously voted to expand the radiological
Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone around the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station
to include Barnstable County and so notified the Governor and various state and federal
representatives and agencies.
The Commission holds meetings approximately every other month which are advertised
and the public is invited to attend. Bob Summersgill is the alternate representative for
Orleans on the Advisory Commission.

CAPE COD WATER PROTECTION COLLABORATIVE
Wastewater management continued to be the primary focus for the Collaborative this
year. The discussions focused on the evaluation of a regionalized approach to
wastewater management and the potential savings offered by regional watershed based
approach and a thorough vetting of alternative management approaches through the
208 process described below. The Collaborative continued to be a forum for towns to
obtain information on best practices and guidance from the experiences of other towns
throughout the region.
In January 2013, Barnstable County, acting through the Cape Cod Commission, was
directed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to prepare an update to the 1978
Section 208 Area-Wide Water Quality Management Plan for Cape Cod. This plan is a
comprehensive Cape-wide review of water quality issues facing the region, with a focus
initially on nutrient management and water quality planning for Cape Cod's
coastal embayments. The Commonwealth provided $3 million to accomplish this task
125
with the condition that a draft plan be completed within 12 months so much of the effort
on wastewater was in support of the development of the plan.
The Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative reinstated monthly Governing Board
meetings and reconstituted its Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to provide input
into the 208 Plan Update. The TAC was a key player in the review and shaping of the
technologies matrix that formed the basis for the evaluation of appropriate management
techniques. In addition, a Regulatory, Legal, and Institutional (RLI) Work Group, with
representation from DEP, EPA, the Cape Cod Commission, addressed the potential
need for regulatory reform and other challenges associated with planning and
implementation. Other ad hoc committees will be established, as necessary. The
Collaborative, through its Executive Director, is fully involved and engaged in this effort.
The Commonwealth expects the 208 plan and its underlying analysis to reflect the
County's focus on the individual watersheds of each embayment as the most logical
management unit on which to base water quality planning. The watershed based
planning has provided management solutions that are less costly and require less
infrastructure to be built than conventional planning efforts may recommend. The
Massachusetts Legislature has adopted the 208 framework as a basis for allocating
state financial assistance and has adopted authority to enable the type of watershed
permits envisioned in 208 to be issued.
The ongoing lawsuits between the Conservation Law Foundation, and the United States
Environmental Protection Agency remains unresolved as of this writing. The
Collaborative continues to actively monitor the progress of the litigation.
Lastly, the Collaborative has maintained its practice of supporting local planning and
management efforts. The Collaborative has continued to provide third party consulting
support in engineering and planning reviews and financial management to any town
requesting such support. The majority of Cape towns have accessed this support and
the budget to continue this program stayed intact.

CAPE LIGHT COMPACT
Cape Light Compact is an award-winning energy services organization operated by the 21
towns and two counties on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard. The Compact's mission is to
serve its 200,000 customers through the delivery of proven energy efficiency programs,
effective consumer advocacy, competitive electricity supply and green power options. For
more information, visit www.capelightcompact.org.
POWER SUPPLY
Pricing in 2014 continued to be driven by regional natural gas concerns. The winter of
2013/2014 saw an even more pronounced price spike than was experienced during the
preceding winter, as cold weather drove increased demand for natural gas for heating
and electricity. This resulted in periodic constraints on the transmission used to
transport natural gas into New England, driving natural gas and electricity prices to
record highs. While oil units were dispatched to help ensure reliability in the face of
limited gas supplies, this further contributed to increased electricity costs.
126
The repeated winter price spikes to lead to regional conversations about how to resolve
the issue. The six New England governors, through the New England States Committee
on Electricity (NESCOE), discussed a proposal to procure additional gas pipeline
capacity by adding a fee onto the rates of all New England electricity consumers. While
the proposal generally received consensus from all six administrations, Massachusetts,
following the failure of several Patrick administration-supported energy bills to pass,
withdrew its support of the plan. Instead, the Commonwealth chose to focus on other
potential solutions, most importantly, energy efficiency. While the incoming
administration may decide to support the NESCOE proposal, several federal approvals
would still be needed before it could be enacted. Even if these approvals were
awarded, it would still likely take several years before a major expansion in pipeline
capacity could be completed.
This means that prices are likely to remain high over the next several years. Pricing
periods covering the first half of the year, which includes the most expensive months,
are likely to stay very high, while second half pricing will likely be slightly lower. Gas
pipeline owner Spectra is pursuing a modest expansion of its existing Algonquin
pipeline, but the limited size of the project is not likely to significantly impact prices, and
won't be completed before the end of 2016 at the earliest.
In 2014, Cape Light Compact provided energy to residents and businesses in
accordance with a competitive electricity supply contract negotiated by the Compact
with ConEdison Solutions. For 11 months, the Compact's price was lower than
NSTAR's. The Compact also issued an RFP for a new supplier contract starting in
December 2014. The contract was awarded to ConEdison Solutions for residential
customers and NextEra for commercial and industrial customers. As of the most recent
count, the Compact had approximately 4,300 electric accounts in the Town of Orleans
on its energy supply.
CONSUMER ADVOCACY
Since 1997, Cape Light Compact has advocated for the ratepayers of Cape Cod and
Martha's Vineyard at the local, state and federal level. In 2014, the Compact focused
much of its advocacy on grid modernization and time-varying rates. Both issues will
have far-reaching impacts on customers on the Cape, affecting reliability, the cost of
electricity and how prices are set, and the ability of our systems to accommodate
increasing amounts of renewable energy. In March of 2014, the Compact also
submitted to the Department of Public Utilities revisions to its Aggregation Plan, a
document originally submitted around the time of the Compact's inception. The
Compact is currently awaiting a final order from the Department.

Funding for the energy efficiency programs (i.e. energy audits for homes and
businesses, rebates on the purchase of energy efficient appliances and energy
education in our schools) comes from a monthly customer"energy conservation" charge
($0.0025 cents multiplied by the number of kilowatt hours used during the month) and a
portion of the "distribution charge" ($0.01510 for residential customers and $0.00972 for
commercial and industrial customers) that appears on each customer's electric bill.
Other Cape Light Compact Efforts Include:
• 6 ENERGY STAR® qualified homes were built in the Town of Orleans.
• Cape Light Compact continues to support STEM integrated energy education to
Nauset Middle School and Orleans Elementary School through teacher
workshops, materials, and classroom visit opportunities.
• A total of 287 streetlights in Orleans were retrofitted with LEDs, saving
approximately 63,000 kWh and $16,500 in energy and maintenance costs
annually.

CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE
The Town of Orleans adopted its Home Rule Charter on May 6, 1987, and every seven
years the Board of Selectmen appoints a Charter Review Committee (CRC) consisting of
seven members and charges this committee "to review the provisions of the Charter and
report any amendments deemed advisable" and "present final recommendations to the
Annual Town Meeting."
Meetings began in June 2014 and all 15 meetings through December 2014 were televised
live on Channel 18. CRC members were assigned Charter chapters and reviewed all
sections to identify any clauses that needed revision. The Charter was also reviewed, in
consultation with the Town Clerk, to determine if there were any issues regarding
scriveners' errors or inconsistencies with the Town Code and Town Meeting procedures
The CRC asked for and received input from the Board of Selectmen, Town Administrator,
Town Moderator, Finance Committee, Town Clerk, Town Counsel, and Director of
Finance. There was outreach to Town Staff and community members through survey,
letters, press releases, and an email address. Input regarding concerns from community
members via email, phone calls and at CRC meetings at Public Comment was received
and a database of more than 100 suggestions was developed and reviewed. As each
proposed Charter change was identified, the proper language for the change was written
with a rationale for the change and then reviewed by Town Counsel.
On Nov 19, 2014, an Interim Report was presented to the Board of Selectmen which
outlined the particular Charter clauses that had been identified for review and possible
proposed changes. CRC deliberations continued through December with input from Town
Counsel in preparation for a Public Hearing on all proposed Charter changes to be held on
January 12, 2015 at 7 PM. Comments received at the Public Hearing will be included in
subsequent CRC discussions to determine final Charter amendment recommendations for
presentation to the Board of Selectmen on February 4, 2015.

COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
The Town of Orleans adopted the Community Preservation Act (CPA) in May 2005.
The Town receives funding for CPA activities from the 3% local surcharge on real estate
property taxes (surtax) and from a state match of up to 100% of the surtax revenues,
subject to the availability of state funding. CPA funds are to be spent on open space,
community housing, historic preservation and recreation projects which contribute
toward achieving the goals of the Committee's Preservation Plan and the Town's
Comprehensive Plan and which meet the legal requirements of the CPA.
The nine-member Orleans Community Preservation Committee (CPC), created through
state statue and local bylaw, implements the requirements of the CPA, administers the
project selection process and awards funds to eligible projects subject to Town Meeting
approval.
The Committee conducted its ninth full calendar year of business in 2014. Important
activities during the year were:
• As 2014 commenced, there were nine projects, in various stages of completion,
being monitored by the Committee to insure that they remained within budget and
approved scope and that satisfactory progress was being made towards completion
of the projects.
• At the May Annual Town Meeting, the CPC, after careful review, interviews, and a
public hearing, recommended funding for a record number of ten projects as follows-
1. Old Firehouse Restoration, Phase II - $50,000
2. Federated Church of Orleans Sanctuary Roof Shingles - $10,000
3. Orleans Historical Society Archival Preservation, Phase IV - $8,150
4. Odd Fellows Hall Restoration, Phase VI - $10,250
5. Sixth Habitat House, Namskaket Rd/Bevan Way - $35,000
6. Cape Cod Village Community Housing Land Purchase- $350,000
7. Canal House Community Housing Expenses - $20,000
8. Orleans Conservation Trust Town Wide Trail Guide - $15,000
9. Outer Beach Recreation Facilities Management Plan - $40,000
10.Orleans Community Playground Enhancement - $30,000
The Town Meeting followed the CPC recommendations (with a modification
regarding the Playground Enhancement project) and, through Article 4, approved
$503,130 to pay interest and principle on open space debt, $5,894 as reserves for
historic resources, $42,147 for FY '15 Committee expenses and $568,400 for the ten
projects, resulting in a total CPA Program Budget of$1,119,571
• During 2014, six projects were completed.
• As 2015 commences, there are thirteen on-going projects which continue to be
monitored by the Committee. There are also eleven applications for projects seeking
funding in the next fiscal year.
While the state match under the CPA remains at much less than 100% of local surtax
revenues, legislation passed in 2013 and 2014 provided some additional funding in
those years. However, it is far from certain that this funding (which requires legislation
each year and which is tied to the state having a surplus at the end of the fiscal year)
will continue in the future. In the meantime, the Community Preservation Committee
remains committed to its support, within the available funding, of projects that will
129
preserve the character and beauty of the Town of Orleans in the areas of open space,
community housing, historic preservation and recreation.

CONSERVATION COMMISSION
The Conservation Commission implements the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act
and the Orleans Wetland Protection Bylaw. The Commission reviews and approves
applications for projects affecting any of the Town's wetland resource areas and manages
the Town's Conservation Areas.
Reviewing and Approving Wetland Projects
Any activity that alters a wetland resource area or the 100 foot buffer to the resource
area, including filling, construction, renovation, pruning, removing or planting vegetation,
must be filed with the Conservation Commission prior to initiation. Wetland resource
areas encompass wetland vegetation, coastal banks, dunes, land subject to coastal
storm flowage and areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC) among others. In
2014, the Conservation Commission heard approximately 72 Notices of Intent, 48 other
filings including Certificates of Compliance, Amended Orders, and Requests for
Determination, and reviewed and completed 170 Administrative Reviews.
Management of Open Space Areas
The Orleans Conservation Commission is responsible for the management of the Town's
Conservation Areas. Most of these areas are available to the public and offer passive
recreational opportunities with trails and scenic views. In 2014, the Conservation
Commission continued to support the Department of Public Works Natural Resources
efforts to improve and manage Town conservation areas.
Meeting Schedule
The Conservation Commission meets in the mornings the first four Tuesdays of every
month. New hearings are advertised the first and third weeks of the month.
A Special Thanks
The Commission would like to extend its gratitude to past Commissioner James Trainor.
James' dedicated volunteer service and hard work helped preserve and enhance
Conservation and Wetland interests throughout Orleans.

COUNCIL ON AGING
The Orleans Council on Aging is committed to excellence in carrying out our mission to
enhance the quality of life for older adults and caregivers in our community. We believe
in providing equity in our programs and services, in treating people fairly and with
respect and dignity, and in valuing diversity. In 2014, we coupled this commitment with
our efforts to increase access to resources, provide a wider variety of programming, and
130
support the goal to keep older adults in their homes as long as possible. We are
evolving to reflect a new view of aging that empowers older adults.
Because it is clear that caregivers are so essential for helping older adults remain at
home, we made a conscious effort to increase our outreach efforts to caregivers by
delivering additional opportunities for information and support. We held conversations
about dementia caregiving, hosted a short-term group entitled "Powerful Tools for
Caregivers", provided evening opportunities for adult children who may care for aging
parents but work during the day, offered several informational programs about
dementia, and ran a "Caregivers Circle" support group as well as a "Caregiver
Transitions" group. We also offered critical direct support through our Day Center
program which provides a safe, welcoming environment with enriching activities for
participants who may have health issues or memory impairments.
To expand the variety of our programming this year our endeavors included healthy
cooking classes, a seminar on downsizing, a women's writing group, a program on the
Cape Cod Baseball League, a garden lecture with CL Fornari, a program celebrating
women, creativity and aging, a conversation about demystifying death and dying, a
program on end of life planning, memory screenings, a new Chair Zumba fitness class,
a meditation series, and expanded programming for our LGBT seniors. This was in
addition to the multitude of our regular activities and services which include support
groups, lunch programs, transportation, health and wellness programs, and recreational
activities.
We also worked this year to increase our community collaboration to provide additional
quality programs and services at the Senior Center. A few highlights of these efforts
included our work with the Orleans Citizens Forum on an "Aging in Place" forum, the
Friends of OCOA on "Mocktails & Music" an open house which celebrated National
Senior Center Month, AARP on older driver safety programs, and Self Reliance on
opportunities for energy efficiency.
We have tried to be good stewards of the community by taking care of our lovely Senior
Center building and ensuring that important maintenance work was completed. In 2014,
the meeting room floors were refinished, electronic door openers were replaced, rot on
the entry columns was repaired, a gallery display system for artwork was installed to
protect our walls, and we tended the gardens along our beautiful walkway. In addition,
we updated our electronic systems this year and converted to a new software and
database management system, and we hope to expand our utilization of all its features
in 2015.
This was an exceptionally busy year for the COA but as a department somewhat unique
to municipal government, we realize that we could not have accomplished any of this
without the support and collaboration of our volunteers, board members, community
partnerships, and those we serve. We thank you for your remarkable support. The staff
of the COA is also vital to its mission and I would like to take this opportunity to thank
them for their hard work and devotion to the work we do.

The Skaket Room Gallery in Town Hall is managed by OCC to showcase photos from
the Harry J. Sparrow Photo Archive on loan from the Orleans Historical Society, and
provides opportunities for local artists to display artwork in the gallery. This year's
featured artists were: Bert Risch, Joyce Aaron and Florence Adams. "The Way We
Were", an exhibit of 5th grade students' impressions of The Battle of Rock Harbor, a
project funded by OCC, was installed in December, to be on display through Jan.2015.
A first-time exhibit, utilizing the West entrance wing of Town Hall, "Imagine Orleans",
displayed current updates on proposed and/or approved Townscape, Streetscape,
Conservation, MassDot., Recreation, Water, Projects and Town Meeting Warrants,
including maps, blueprints, reports and architectural renderings, for the purpose of
education and initiation of public comment.
The OCC requested and received, through a Town Warrant, $2,000, to be used for
additional grants or projects in the arts, humanities, or sciences that are specific to
Orleans.
OCC representatives attended a November meeting of the 3 Cape Cod Cultural
Districts held in Barnstable to explore collaborative prospects for economic
development through collaborating in Regional Arts events.
For the first time, OCC joined the "Canstruction" Project to benefit Lower Cape
Outreach by constructing a sculptural facsimile of the MCC logo in the entry of Town
Hall, using 184 cans of food that were subsequently donated to the Orleans Food
Pantry.
In November, the OCC voted to fund the following grants for implementation in the 2015
grant cycle. Eighteen applications were received this year requesting $11,125 in grants.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
Orleans Emergency Management is accomplished through the joint management of the
command staffs from both the fire and police departments in cooperation with many
town agencies who provide assistance during a large emergency.
Should a major weather event or any other unusual emergency occur the town is
managed through an Emergency Operations Center staffed with public safety officials
who are in direct contact with public safety units in the field as well as all other town
agencies, county resources, and in some case federal government assets as well.
Our goal is to mitigate storm damage, provide shelter information opportunity for
regional sheltering, and most importantly provide our citizens with appropriate
information in regard to the proper actions to take during emergencies. We would like to
remind and encourage using the Town of Orleans website to sign up for our Code Red
program. This way emergency instructions or helpful information can be sent directly to
your home or cell phone to keep you well informed.
We live in a vulnerable area for storms all year round and would like to remind all
citizens to stay prepared. Keep a flashlight with spare batteries handy at all times and
always treat all downed wires as though they are live. Should you need any storm
preparation advice please don't hesitate to contact either agency.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Assistant Emergency Manager Police
Chief Scott MacDonald as well as the fire, police and other town employees for their
invaluable assistance during storm emergencies as well as the cooperation from our
citizens during these crucial times of the year. It is a community effort to keep us all
safe.

FINANCE COMMITTEE
On behalf of the Orleans Finance Committee, I am pleased to submit to Orleans citizens
the Committee's annual report on its activities during calendar year 2014. The Finance
Committee, comprised of nine members appointed by the Town Moderator, is charged
under the Orleans Town Charter with independently examining and analyzing the
financial affairs of Town government, including proposed budgets, Capital Improvement
Plans, and other proposals having significant financial impact on citizens.
In fulfilling its obligations under the Charter, the Committee conducted Fiscal Year 2015
budget reviews in meetings and consultations with Town officials. The Finance
Committee met jointly with the Board of Selectmen seven times between January and
the May Town Meeting. In addition to three Charter-mandated public hearings for the
Town Budget and the Capital Improvement Plan, the two bodies for the third
consecutive year convened in joint sessions for reviews of departmental budgets that
comprise the majority of Town spending, including in a special joint session to review
the Nauset Regional School District, Orleans Elementary School, and Cape Cod
Regional Technical School Fiscal Year 2015 proposed budgets. These collaborative
134
budget review meetings provide the members of the Finance Committee and the Board
the benefit of each other's knowledge and experience in evaluating departmental
budgets and eliminate duplication of the time Town and school officials are required to
devote to this process.
Throughout the year, the Committee also routinely monitored meetings of Town boards,
committees, and departments whose actions have fiscal implications for the Town. In
October, the Finance Committee Chair met with the Charter Review Committee to share
Finance Committee members' thoughts regarding possible amendments to Charter
provisions affecting the Finance Committee's role and responsibilities. The Finance
Committee Vice Chair serves as the Committee's liaison to the Water Quality Advisory
Panel convened by the Board of Selectmen to engage "stakeholders" in the
development of a water quality management plan for Orleans. The Assistant
Superintendent of the Water Department provided the Committee with an interactive
demonstration of that Department's utility cloud technology-based system for integrating
and centralizing asset, operations, workforce, and data management and the Orleans
Chief of Police described for the Committee the process employed by that Department
in producing a five-year strategic plan that was completed in July. The Town Assessor
briefed the Committee on the process used to determine property values and trends in
property valuations.
The Finance Committee's annual report, published in the 2014 Warrant for the Annual
and Special Town Meetings, presented recommendations for meeting the challenges
that the Committee believes the Town must address to sustain the future financial
health of our community. Chief among these recommendations were accelerating
payments against the Town's OPEB (other post-employment benefits) liabilities;
evaluating the risks associated with the Town's changing demographics and applying
the knowledge gained to shaping strategic planning and spending decisions going
forward; aggressively exploring opportunities to apply technology solutions to
government operations and services delivery; and, establishing Town fees across the
board based upon, and to cover, 100 percent of the direct costs of providing services.
The Committee continued its focus this year on analyzing Town financial practices and
the roles, responsibilities, and operations of Town Departments and Committees as
they impact Town spending, forwarding recommendations that emerged from these
analyses to the Board of Selectmen, the Town Administrator, and the Town Finance
Director as appropriate. The Committee produced its fourth annual analysis of
authorized, but unused, funds returned to the general fund. That analysis was
forwarded to the Town Administrator and Town Finance Director who in turn shared that
analysis with Town Department heads for their consideration in developing their
respective FY 2015 budget requests. In June, the Committee conveyed to the Board of
Selectmen, recommendations for its consideration in deciding whether to enter into an
intergovernmental Net Metered Power Sales Agreement with the Cape and Vineyard
Electric Cooperative for the Town of Orleans to purchase excess solar renewable
energy credits. In November, the Committee shared with the Board a series of
recommendations for the Board's consideration in its review of the current management
of the Ambulance Reserve Fund and the expenditures of user fees deposited into that
Fund. The Committee met twice with the Director of Public Works & Natural Resources
to review the financial parameters of a proposed design of a new DPW facility that was
put to a vote at the Oct. 27, 2014, Special Town Meeting. Information gathered in these
135
meetings helped the Committee to shape its position on that initiative for communication
to the Board of Selectmen and Town voters.
The Committee also has been working with the Town Administrator and Town Finance
Director on developing better analytical tools to apply to the budget process to achieve
greater transparency and consistency of that process. These tools, once implemented,
will provide the Selectmen and Town leadership with a better means to analyze
departmental budget development and Town finances as a whole, including long-term
capital planning, and create the opportunity to consider as well where and how we might
change the way we do business to reduce costs and improve efficiency and
transparency.
The Finance Committee remains committed to supporting long-term planning to meet
future challenges and near-term actions to address immediate priorities and improve
Town government services. This commitment will continue to guide the Committee's
activities to meet its Charter-mandated obligations.

FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT
As the town of Orleans new Fire Chief I am pleased to present the annual report for the
year 2014. 1 would like to thank our dedicated staff both career and call firefighters for
all their caring and hard work this past year responding to the needs of our citizen's and
visitors alike.
The year 2014 was undoubtedly a year of great change. Personnel wise we saw the
retirement of Chief William P. Quinn Jr after a devoted 41 years of service, we thank
him and wish him well. Also retiring in August was Robert Felt after being with the
department 24 years.
Promotions in 2014 were many, Captain Geof Deering ascended to the rank of Deputy
Fire Chief, and Timothy Gula was promoted to the rank of Captain. Also joining the
promoted were Greg Baker to Fire Inspector, placing him in charge of The Fire
Prevention Bureau. Leslie Vasoncellos added EMS Coordinator to her job
responsibilities and Thomas Pellegrino and Douglas Edmunds rose to the rank of
Senior Private each. Joining the department this year were career firefighters Stephen
Freiner and Jesse Rancourt and call firefighters Michael Lopriore and Kyle Simkins.
Melissa Clayton has joined us as our Principal Clerk and has quickly become an
invaluable team member.
With most of our staff changes occurring in the beginning of our busy summer season
the staff had little time to adjust but went right to work as a team. Emergency medical
services remain the busiest aspect of our agency comprising approximately 85% of
what we do. Training for medical responses is a year round task.
Our members also train weekly on the other facets of our work: firefighting, water
rescue and technical rescue work. Orleans has a strong presence on regional rescue
teams with six members training and operating on the Barnstable County Technical
Rescue Team, and two on the regional dive rescue team. These teams provide regional
specialized rescue services to the entire cape with minimized costs to the town. This fall
136
the USCG trained 8 of our members as specialized marine search and rescue providers
utilizing the towns rescue boats.
The summer Nauset Beach EMT program now in its second year went very well, our
trained EMT's assisted our lifeguards with beachfront injuries and patrolled the outer
beaches to assist with first aid and to answer questions and generally assist the beach
going public.
Our public educators had a busy year as well, both visiting schools and teaching fire
and life safety skills. Our fire safety open house was a great success with many children
visiting for lunch and fire safety games. The CPR instructors were kept busy teaching
dozens of folk's lifesaving skills.
We would like to remind all our citizens should you have a question or simply just want
a tour to see our life saving equipment and vehicles give us a call or stop in. We are
here to serve you and provide you the information you need. We encourage you to get
to know us before you need us!
We would like to again thank all of the town departments that help us run our operation
each day, running this agency is a group effort within our town, special thanks to our
partner public safety agencies The Orleans Police Department and all the town's people
who help and support your fire rescue services.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION COMMITTEE
We are pleased to provide this annual message on behalf of the Orleans Fourth of July
Celebration Committee.
The 2014 Orleans Fourth of July Celebration activities went off as planned this year!
The Fireworks were set off on Saturday, July 5t" at dusk, at Rock Harbor. A fabulous
large crowd and great fireworks.
The 4t" of July Parade stepped off from Eldredge Park Way at 10:00 am Friday, July 4,
2014. This year's Parade had a great crowd and the weather cooperated. The theme of
the parade was United We Stand, Proudly We Serve created by Piper Kavanaugh, a
student at the Orleans Elementary School. Piper's slogan won 1St Prize in the Orleans
Elementary School Parade Theme Contest.
Our Grand Marshal this year was the family of Dave Hubbard. Dave had been a
member of the Orleans 4t" of July Parade Committee. He also participated in various
other Town committees and will be greatly missed by all.
The Parade had a few new entrants as well as some old favorites. Sixty-five contingents
participated including businesses, families, antique cars, and non-profits In addition,
we had military, police, and fire marching units, dignitaries and fabulous bands. What a
great time for both those in the Parade and those watching. 2014 Parade Winners —
Business, 1St Orleans Yacht Club Sailing Program, 2nd The Farm, 3rd Cape Cod 5. Non-
Profits, 1st The Federated Church, 2nd Orleans Eastham Elks, 3rd Nauset Coast Guard
Auxillary. Family Awards, 1St Stewart Family, 2nd Birdsall Family, 3rd Jerry Honeycutt.
A big "Thank You" to all of the businesses that supported us with vehicles, drivers and
supplies. Your donations are crucial to our Parade's success. Many thanks also for the
hard work of the Orleans Police, Fire, and Highway Departments. It is much
appreciated.
Funds Are Short. The Committee appreciates that Town Meeting appropriated up to
$8,000 to support the 2014 Parade. To help offset our use of these funds, we continued
this year with our, now annual parade event, volunteers walking along with the Parade,
requesting donations. There is also a link on the Town's website for those who want to
send a monetary contribution, directed to the 4t" of July Gift Fund. Thank you.
We are looking forward to the 2015 Fourth of July activities. The Fireworks will be
displayed over Rock Harbor, at dusk, on Sunday, July 5, 2015 (rain date of
Monday, July 6th). The Parade will step off on Saturday, July 4, 2015, at 10:OOam
from Eldredge Park Way.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
The Highway Department is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of
approximately 54 miles of roadway and roadsides, the repair and maintenance of
related stormwater drainage systems and the repair and maintenance of related
infrastructure. The Highway Department is also expected to manage Water Quality
Stormwater Improvement projects. The department is also responsible for the repair
and maintenance of over 50 town vehicles, heavy equipment and tools. The Highway
Department also provides labor and/or equipment to support activities of the Parks
Department and the Harbormaster.
The major projects managed by the department in 2014 include the following:
Road Improvements:
•Patching and chip sealing of Bakers Pond Road.
•Patching and chip sealing of Namequoit Road
•Patching of deteriorated sections of Tar Kiln Road, Portanimicut Road, and Winslow
Road.
Drainage:
• Drainage Improvements were made on Monument Road, Gibson Road, Brick Hill
Road, Tonset Road, Pochet Road, Fox Ridge Drive, Uncle Israel's Road,
Wesquansett Road, Twiss Road, and Harbor Hill Drive
Water Quality Improvements:
• Water Quality Drainage Improvements were completed on Tonset Road and Pochet
Road which resulted in a reduction or elimination of direct stormwater discharge to
wetlands resource areas.
Safety Improvements:
• The department continued upgrading street signs and warning signs to new federal
standards.
Other Projects:
• The department completed the Roadway Condition Assessment of the Town owned
roads for the update of our Pavement Management Program in 2013. The program
update was completed in mid - 2014. The draft recommended road maintenance
schedule has been prepared and reviewed by the Department. Final report and
presentation of the program is expected in early 2015
• The department completed the GIS-based sign inventory program that will allow the
department to better manage and maintain the extensive inventory of town owned
signs.
• The department continued to maintain and repair the town roadways and road edge
areas. Significant time and effort was spent addressing potholes, patching areas of
deteriorated pavement, repairing and improving berms and curbing, repairing
drainage infrastructure, roadside brush cutback and road side mowing.
• The department continued to maintain the town drainage system. This work involves
the maintenance of over 900 catch basins and leaching pits and drainage piping.
The department removed 112 tons of material from drainage structures. The
material generated from cleaning the drainage system is a regulated waste material
by the Department of Environmental Protection and its disposal must be permitted.
139
The Highway Department has secured a permit to construct a vegetative berm at an
area on the landfill site. The Highway Department manages this material. The
department was granted approval from MADEP that will provide ten or more years of
disposal capacity for these materials. The department current maintains 20
stormwater remediation systems.
• The Department swept up 675 tons of sand and debris from the roadways and
parking lots in 2014. The handling of the street sweepings is also regulated by the
Department of Environmental Protection. The Highway Department has secured a
permit to construct "sight berms" with the street sweepings in locations around the
landfill cap.
• The Department continued to provide repair and maintenance services to the Town's
vehicular and heavy equipment fleet. This involves over 50 vehicles and pieces of
heavy equipment, construction tools and various hand tools.
During winter operations the Highway Department is responsible for preventing and
addressing icing conditions and the clearing snow from roadways, town facility lots,
town parking lots, the Nauset Regional Middle School, the Orleans Elementary School
and seven miles of town owned and state owned sidewalks.
In 2014 the department responded to 23 recorded winter storm events. Many of these
storms were of long duration requiring extended hours for treating the roads.
Approximately 1,453 tons of sand/salt mix was used over the winter.
My sincere gratitude goes to all the staff from the Highway Department, Transfer Station
the Parks and Beaches Department, the Water Department and staff from the
Harbormasters Department for their dedication and support in responding to storms
throughout the winter.
Transfer Station:
The Transfer Station is responsible for the management and disposal of the Solid

antifreeze (100 gallons).
The Transfer Station sponsored the Household Hazardous Waste Collection event
again in 2014. A summary of the materials collected during the event is available at the
Transfer Station or on the Town website.
The Transfer Station generated the following revenue in 2013 (not including sticker
sales): Gate Collections: $64,228, Batteries: $295, Metals: $8,200, Waste Oil: $173.
In 2014, the Department also continued to operate and maintain the Landfill Methane
Gas Collection system. The system consists of a series of wells and piping connected to
a flare system that burns the Methane gas being produced by the rubbish under the
Landfill Cap. A significant amount of time, effort and funding is required for this task.
The department is responsible for the maintenance of the Landfill Cap and the
monitoring of the methane gas produced by the trash under the cap and the monitoring
of the groundwater around the perimeter of the cap.
The staff of the Transfer Station is available to discuss any questions or comments
concerning solid waste disposal issues.
Tree Department:
The Tree Department's main goal is to protect the Town's Urban Forest. The duties and
responsibilities associated with roadside trimming, tree planting and tree maintenance
are year-round tasks. The Department continues to focus on a proactive approach to
roadside cutback work to remove and regain control over unwanted vegetation. We
identify appropriate plants in the right locations and encourage them. New trees and
shrubs are introduced into areas that are suitable. Then pruning, watering, weeding and
monitoring is done to maximize the health of the system.
Orleans has a number of mature American elm trees that have survived the Dutch Elm
disease. These trees require annual maintenance in the form of fungicide injections
and careful pruning to improve the long term survival of these heirloom trees. Tracking
existing and introduced trees requires a suitable long term management plan. The first
step is to complete the town-wide tree inventory. At present over 7000 trees have been
assessed and are available on the Orleans GIS for planning and mapping purposes. We
now have the means to utilize the database in the field and use inventory for integration
141
of a Vegetation Management Plan. The data is collected on a pad using Arc-Collector
allowing us to work in real time.
Other Notable accomplishments:
• The Town of Orleans received the Tree City USA Award from the
Massachusetts DCR Urban and Community Forestry Program. This is the 17th
consecutive year that we have received this prestigious award.
• Celebrated Arbor Day on April 24th
• This year's Arbor Day was Held at the Odd Fellows Hall on Main St. N'Star
donated $2000 for 4 Tupelo and 2 Oak trees. Ameri-Corp volunteers removed
invasives, landscaped, and planted trees.
• The department was awarded an AmeriCorps intern two days a week for one
year. This is the 8th intern the Tree Department has accepted from
AmeriCorps Cape Cod. This individual will continue to work on Tree Inventory
and assist with town projects.
• The Tree Department continued coordination with the AmeriCorps volunteer
group program. Some of the work includes: Orleans Middle School, Uncle
Harvey's Pond, Sea Call Farm and the Putnam property.
• N'Star continues to help the Tree Department with a town wide hazardous tree
removal initiative. Orleans is currently losing many of our mature red and white
oaks. We need to remove them and replace them with newly planted trees.
• AmeriCorps has now worked over 15,000 hours with the Tree Warden.
• The Tree Warden continues to work with the Orleans Community Partnership
on the Village Center. This year we planted 9 "Ivory Silk" trees on Old Colony
Way.
I would like to extend my gratitude to the staff of these departments.

Mark Budnick, Public Works Manager
HISTORICAL COMMISSION
The Commission met on ten occasions during the year to conduct business.
Five public hearings were held in conformance with Chapter 106 of the Code of the
Town of Orleans: The Demolition of Historic Structures By-Law. The subjects and
results of these meetings were as follows:
•February 19, 2014
Public Hearing to discuss 2 Beach Street, property of Laura Scheel. The building is on
the Orleans Inventory of Historic Properties. Ms. Scheel wanted to demolish an existing
ell, and replace it with a new ell. The existing ell has no basement and is in poor
condition. The new ell would be a few feet wider on the door side. After a site visit the
Commission determined that the ell is not a "preferably preserved historic structure" and
may therefore be torn down.
142
•May 28, 2014
Public Hearing to discuss 23 Champlain Road, owned by Bill von Thayden.
The building is on the Orleans Inventory of Historic Properties. Mr. Von Thayden wanted
to move an attached shed from the back of the house to another location on the
property and to add a two-story addition and a porch as shown by the drawings of Frank
Shirley, architect. This house has been through many changes beginning as a modest
one story Cape. That structure was raised and another structure built underneath it in
about 1880. The side and rear ells appear to be later additions. Because there have
been so many changes to the original house this property was determined not to be a
"preferably preserved historic structure" and there for the shed may be moved.
•June 16, 2014
Public Hearing to discuss 3 Herring Brook Way, owned by Paul and Katherine Heanue.
The building is on the Orleans Inventory of Historic Properties. This house has been
build and added on to over a period of time. The original, narrow single story house is
from ca.1800 while the big two-story house on the right is much later ca.1850. The
Kemptons want to demolish the original house and rebuild it as well as restore the large
two-story house. The Commission made a site visit to the exterior of the house. The
Commission agreed that the original house retains very little integrity and to impose the
one-year delay would only delay the preservation of the two-story part of the house.
The Commission determined that the original house was not a "preferably preserved
historic structure" and therefore could be demolished.
•September 3, 2014
Public Hearing to discuss 116 Route 6A, owned By Todd Thayer.
The building is on the Orleans Inventory of Historic Properties. This building is the
yellow Victorian house that is in a line of Thayer owned properties. He sent a letter to
the selectmen offering this house to be moved to Depot Square for the Chamber of
Commerce. The Selectmen have $10,000 for a feasibility study. If the town doesn't
accept it and nobody wants it to move and renovate it, it will be demolished. It was
moved and passed that this building is a "preferably preserved historic structure.
Therefore a motion was passed to institute a 12-month demolition delay. MOTION
PASSED.
•October 6, 2014
Public Hearing to discuss 120 Route 6A, owned By Todd Thayer.
The building is on the Orleans Inventory of Historic Properties. It is currently a dry
cleaners. Mr. Thayer stated that the building was in very bad condition when he
purchased it in 2004 and he had no plans but to demolish it. A demolition permit was
applied for the same building in 2009. A motion was made by Mr. Besse and seconded
by Mr. Petersen to find 120 Route 6A a "preferably preserved historic structure.
Therefore a motion was passed to institute a 12-month demolition delay. MOTION
PASSED.
OTHER IMPORTANT BUSINESS CONDUCTED:
•January 23, 2014
The State Legislature has passed a by-law allowing Historical Commissions to have two
alternates.
143
•February 19, 2014
A demolition permit was issued by the Building Department for 31 Namskaket Road,
Habitat for Humanity. The Commission thought that they had a "deal" with Kurtzhus to
restore this house. Habitat however requested proposals including qualifications.
Kurtzhus sent in his proposal and qualifications. Habitat stated he was not qualified.
The Commission felt that Habitat should not have been the party to vet the qualifications
since they would benefit if the contractors were rejected and they could tear down the
building. Jim Hadley, an architect and the former chair of the Historical Commission felt
that Kurtzhus was qualified.
•June 16, 2014
At town meeting, Article 26, to amend the General By-Laws of the Town of Orleans by
adding a new Chapter 53. It changed the number of commissioners from seven to five
with two alternates appointed for three year overlapping three-year terms. Richard
Besciak agreed to stay on the Commission as an alternate. Bill Wibel was not
reappointed as he only attended one meeting in the past year Therefore the
Commission needs one more alternate commissioner.
Discussions about future projects included:
1. Completing the Historic Inventory
2. Lengthening the demolition delay time period
3. Creating local historic Districts.

HOUSING AUTHORITY
The Orleans Housing Authority (OHA) owns and manages one hundred one-bedroom
rental apartments (Tonset Woods) for the elderly and persons with disabilities and
eleven units of family housing. We also own four one-bedroom apartments in East
Orleans which were purchased in June 2001 and will remain affordable in perpetuity.
The OHA also administers a state-funded Alternative Housing Rental Voucher Program
(AHVP) which provides rental assistance to people with disabilities and a state-funded
Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP) which provides rental assistance to
individuals and families. We also subsidize the rent for two staffed residences for
persons with mental and physical disabilities. The OHA subsidizes the rent for six of
eight rooms through a federal HUD Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation grant at Canal
House which is a supportive residence for individuals in recovery from substance
abuse. In addition, we serve as property manager for the Eastham Housing Authority
which owns thirteen affordable rental apartments.
Finally, the Commissioners thank Tim Buhler, Executive Director; Allison Thomas,
Associate Director; Jay Gingras, Maintenance Supervisor; and Al Fearnley,
Maintenance Assistant for their hard work throughout a changing year. Also the board
would like to thank Jon Holt for his tireless effort on this committee and others related to
affordable housing. His dedication and sound judgment will be missed.

MARINE AND FRESH WATER QUALITY TASK FORCE
The Task Force and many citizen volunteers continued water quality monitoring in
Orleans marine embayments and freshwater lakes and ponds for the 14th year. The
deaths this year of Peg and Bob Wineman marked the passage of the pioneers who
initiated water quality work in the Town.
Five new locations were added by the Pleasant Bay Alliance to provide a more
comprehensive look at present conditions in the Pleasant Bay. Summer sampling of
embayments included 23 locations on Cape Cod Bay, Nauset estuary, and Orleans'
portion of Pleasant Bay. Fifty-three volunteers collected a total of 585 samples on five
sampling days. Additional samples were taken from the Atlantic Ocean off Nauset Spit.
Nitrogen from septic systems continues to stress the marine environment resulting in
145
unhealthy levels of algae growth and low dissolved oxygen levels particularly in terminal
salt ponds and enclosed embayments.
The freshwater lake and pond monitoring continued with analytical support from PALS
(Pond and Lake Stewardship) project of the Cape Cod Commission and the School for
Marine Science and Technology, UMass, Dartmouth. Samples were collected from 17
freshwater ponds in spring and late summer. Water quality in these ponds continues to
decline. Most do not meet the state standards for clarity and dissolved oxygen during
the summer. The new fertilizer bylaw may help to slow this decline. Citizens are urged
to become familiar with the bylaw and its restrictions on fertilizer use. This year's dry
summer also exacerbated conditions.
The Task Force initiated a study of Boland Pond to determine the sources of nutrients in
the stormwater that drains into the pond. Sampling will continue through the spring of
2015. In collaboration with Orleans Pond Coalition there are plans to make the pond
more accessible to school students for science studies.
The Task Force published "A Renter's Guide to the Natural Resources of Orleans, MA."
This brochure was widely circulated to summer visitors through the Chamber of
Commerce and real estate offices. It urges visitors to explore our natural environment
while caring for its fragile resources. Copies are available at Town Hall.
Task Force members serve as liaisons to the Water Quality Advisory Panel which is
studying wastewater options for Orleans. Its work will extend into the spring of 2015.
We thank the volunteers who collected data on our ponds and estuaries this year.
Volunteers are needed each summer to carry out this monitoring. Training is provided to
those willing to walk along a beach or take samples from a boat or canoe. If interested,
please leave your contact information with the Planning Department at Town Hall. (508-
240-3700 x435).

NAUSET REGIONAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Schools are successful when students, staffs, and communities thoughtfully and
purposefully work together to achieve a common goal, an excellent education for all
students. Our schools and our staffs are second to none! Nauset continues to rank as
one of the best districts in Massachusetts and attracts students from across the Cape
and beyond because of our excellent reputation and numerous successes. Our
teachers work tirelessly to ensure that students reach their full potential academically
and interconnect with the community whenever possible to develop thoughtful, caring
and mindful individuals. At Nauset, Every Child Matters.
Last year Nauset began a big initiative to upgrade Technology throughout the district.
The roll out of iPads to all teachers at the High School and Middle School, as well as all
ninth grade students, has been very successful. It is an invaluable tool that is enhancing
our teaching methods and changing the way our students learn. Teachers are eager to
grow with the integration of technology in their classrooms. The School Committee is
146
working on a plan to get more devices to students in other grade levels in the very near
future.
Time and again our communities come together to support our schools. This was very
much evident in the completion of a state of the art turf football field at Nauset High
School and the Greenhouse Learning Laboratory at the Middle School. Both of these
wonderful assets were fully funded through community donations and I thank everyone
for their generous contributions to our schools!
The Capital Asset Subcommittee, together with the Business Office, has done an
outstanding job in completing many capital projects that have been long overdue.
There are several critical projects that have been identified by the Capital Asset
Subcommittee and the School Committee voted to ask the towns to support these
projects that include: Drainage at the Middle School, Lab Stations, Courtyard Concrete
Rails, Ramps and Outdoor lighting at the high school. We hope our towns support our
efforts in keeping our buildings safe and secure for our staff and students.
Programming for our students is a priority and our principals continue to challenge our
students by offering a myriad of subjects ranging from Adventure Ed to Summer
Science Technology Institute. A Saturday Academic Academy for re-teaching is being
piloted at the High School, the International Baccalaureate Program is being studied,
Mandarin language is being offered at the Middle School and High School, Advanced
Placement courses are well attended in both schools and the list goes on and on.
The Administration and the Police Chiefs continue to work on security plans across the
district and we thank them for all their efforts in keeping our students safe. A new
School Resource Officer was successfully integrated into the Middle School community.
The resource officers at the Middle and High Schools have proven to be a wonderful
presence in our schools to assist with prevention of bullying, building security, and
safety issues.
Dr. Richard Hoffmann will retire after six years as Superintendent of Nauset and nearly
40 years in education. He has helped maintain the progress of our schools, advocated
for our students, promoted new initiatives, and has helped move the district into 21St
century thinking and learning in a global community. We thank him for all his efforts on
behalf of our children.

OLD KING'S HIGHWAY REGIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMITTEE
The Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Committee, acting under
Massachusetts General Law Chapter 470, Acts of 1973, as amended by Chapter 278
and 845, Acts of 1975, reviews applications of residents of the district for
appropriateness.
The Committee met ten times in 2014; there was no meeting in January or May as no
applications were submitted. Nine (9) Certificates of Exemption were approved, two
were denied. Eighteen (18) Certificates of Appropriateness were approved.

OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
In 2014, the Open Space Committee partnered with the Compact of Conservation
Trusts and the Orleans Conservation Trust to protect an additional 2.1 acres of land
located in Orleans. This land was protected from future development at no cost to the
Town through the use of Conservation Restrictions.
The Committee reviewed, revised, and updated the Open Space portion of the Town's
Conservation, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (CROS Plan). The Plan is will be
submitted for a 5 year renewal later in 2015.
Additionally, the Committee investigated properties surrounding Cedar Pond and
initiated a process that will ultimately bring approximately 15 acres of land into
ownership and control by the Town.
The Orleans Comprehensive Plan charges the Committee with the primary task of
helping to preserve 400 or more acres "using Land Bank and (Town) budget
appropriated funding, plus private funding." Since the formulation of that objective in
1999, over 343.25 acres of land have been protected, or 86% of the 20-year goal.
The Committee has focused on achieving the 400-acre goal in the most cost effective
way possible. Partnerships, grants and inter municipal agreements have been used to
our advantage. We remain focused on achieving the Town goal in a timely manner.

PERSONNEL ADVISORY BOARD
The Personnel Advisory Board is responsible for holding a public hearing on any
amendments to the Orleans Personnel Bylaw that will come before the voters at Town
Meeting, including changes to the classification and compensation plans of employees
covered under the Personnel Bylaw. The Board may also provide assistance with salary
and benefits studies and mediate non-union employee grievances.
The Board met on March 25, 2014 to review proposed revisions to the grievance
process outlined under Chapter 16 and other amendments to the bylaw, including new
language to comply with state law regarding personnel records, new language to make
vacation eligibility consistent with current collective bargaining agreements, and two
proposed changes to the part-time classification/compensation plan. A public hearing on
the amendments, presented to the voters as Article 25 in the May 12 Annual Meeting
warrant, was held on April 25. The Board voted 3-0-0 to recommend the proposed
amendments to Town Meeting. The Board also met on August 15 to discuss employee
recognition policies and the proposed update of the current seasonal
classification/compensation plans.
In 2014 the members of the Personnel Advisory Board were Chairman Rolf Soderstrom,
Kenneth Rowell, and Kevin Galligan. Ex-officio member was Myra Suchenicz, Assistant
Town Administrator.

Subdivision Plans and two Modifications to Definitive Subdivision plans, and endorsed
three Approval Not Required Plans. One public hearing was held for the trimming or
removal of trees and the request was approved. One public hearing was held for the
restoration of a stone wall on a Scenic Road. The Planning Board approved a request
for naming a new road. The Board also provided advisory opinions to the Building
Commissioner to aid in the interpretation of the Zoning Bylaw.
The Board successfully proposed 4 zoning bylaw amendments to the Town Meeting.
FEMA flood maps were updated to ensure that residents can continue to obtain flood
insurance. The sign bylaw was updated to allow sandwich boards for businesses and
153
small off-premises signs for special events. Medical marijuana facility regulations and
an allowance for storage trailers in the Industrial District were also approved. A proposal

accordance with the Orleans Village Center Streetscape Plan.
Late in the year, the Planning Board began working with the Cape Cod Commission on
a land use study of the Route 6A corridor, and also began a study of issues associated
with underground utilities.
The Board also spent significant time developing a series of"community indicators" to
help identify and track demographic and other trends in the town.

PLEASANT BAY ALLIANCE
The Pleasant Bay Alliance is an organization of the Towns of Chatham, Orleans, Harwich,
and Brewster charged with implementing the Pleasant Bay Resource Management Plan.
The plan incorporates the Pleasant Bay Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC)
and the 21,600-acre Pleasant Bay watershed.
The Alliance develops public policy recommendations, technical studies and public
education tools to support the Bay's natural resources and the public's safe enjoyment of
Pleasant Bay. Highlights from 2014 are listed below, and more information is available at
www.pleasantbay.org.
The 2013 Pleasant Bay Resource Management Plan Update, approved by Town
Meeting in 2013, received approval from the Massachusetts Secretary of Energy and
Environmental Affairs. The Secretary also promulgated changes to multiple state
regulations recommended by the Management Plan Update to make it possible to
permit improvement dredging in an area of the ACEC that has been affected by
shoaling following the formation of the 2007 inlet. The regulatory changes are intended
to preserve historic navigation access between Pleasant Bay, Chatham Harbor and the
Atlantic Ocean.
The Pleasant Bay Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Program completed its 15th
monitoring season in 2014. Trained volunteers collected samples at 24 sites throughout
the Bay, and a >_90% sample recovery rate was again achieved. Data from the
monitoring program are used by all four towns to guide nutrient management planning.
An updated statistical analysis of data collected by the program is planned for 2015.
The Alliance supported local and regional efforts to address nutrient loading in Pleasant
Bay. Orleans Water Department bills included an insert from the Alliance describing
best practices for fertilizer use.
The Alliance Committee members and its Coordinator participated in work groups
established by the Cape Cod Commission for a regional wastewater management plan,
the so-called 208 Plan Update, and the Alliance provided detailed comments on the
Commission's draft plan. The Coordinator also served as a liaison to the Town of
Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel.
The Alliance provided technical support to the Friends of Pleasant Bay in designing and
launching a series of fisheries studies with the Center for Coastal Studies. The studies
will map benthic habitat, assess fisheries, and examine seal population numbers and
feeding habits in Pleasant Bay.
The Alliance continued development of guidelines that are intended to assist
Conservation Commissions in the review of applications for shoreline erosion control
measures. The Alliance also continued tide level monitoring in concert with the Center
for Coastal Studies. At the request of local officials, the Alliance also provided comment
on a range of projects, concerning consistency with the Resource Management Plan.
The Alliance wishes to thank the citizens of Orleans for your ongoing support.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
On behalf of the men and women of the Orleans Police Department, it is my pleasure to
present this year's Annual Report. 2014 was a remarkable year for the Police
Department where significant gains were made in fulfilling many of our organizational
initiatives. Our successes can be attributed to a team based philosophy that encourages
employee involvement. We strive to create a work environment in which our employees
have a major impact on the decisions the affect the department.
In July, we presented the Department's comprehensive five year strategic plan to the
Board of Selectmen. The final seventy-nine (79) page plan consist of five (5) strategic
goals, seventeen (17) plan objectives, and fifty-nine (59) strategies with tactical plans.
Although the plan addresses a variety of issues, the main plan themes are community
engagement, accountability and resource planning. A tremendous amount of hard work
went into developing this plan and I would like to thank all the officers, community
members, and consultants that contributed to this very import process.
This past summer was the first time the department utilized Community Service
Officers. Unlike Summer Officers, CSO's do not wear a traditional police uniform and do
not carry a firearm. The CSO's essentially act as ambassadors for the police
department, providing citizens and visitors with directions or other town related
information. The CSO also has limited law enforcement authority which enables them
to direct traffic and issue parking tickets when necessary. The CSO program has
complemented the department well and I look forward to another successful summer in
2015.
In an effort to promote safer bicycling in our community, the Police Department
implemented several bicycle safety programs in 2014. These programs included bicycle
light giveaways, youth safety classes, and the dissemination of safety material at free
water stations along the Cape Cod Rail Trail (CCRT). We are thrilled to have partnered
with organizations such as MassBike, The Barnstable County Commissioners, and our
own Orleans Bicycle & Pedestrian Committee to address the important issue of bicycle
safety in Orleans.
I would also like to acknowledge the exceptional work being done by the department's
School Resource Officers (SRO's). Although this is only the second year we have had
an officer assigned to the Nauset Regional Middle School, we have already seen the
benefits of having the program in place. Not only are the SRO's providing a secure
learning environment for our students and educators, they're also cultivating positive
relationships between the police and our youth. I would like to thank the Orleans Board
of Selectmen and the Nauset Regional School District for supporting the SRO program
and I look forward to its continued success.
156
The Town of Orleans continues to be a safe community that enjoys a low crime rate.
The Department's 2014 crime statistics remain consistent with previous years. Officers
responded to and/or investigated 15,315 calls for service; 128 major motor vehicle
crashes resulting in injury or property damage over $1000; 316 arrest or criminal
application and 4,064 traffic stops. See the detailed activity breakdown at the end of this
report.
As noted previously, Orleans is a safe community and that is the direct result of the
tireless efforts of the men and women of this department. I am very proud of the
department's accomplishments over the past year and we look forward to continuing to
provide the highest quality police services to the town that we are truly honored to
serve.

POLICE STATION BUILDING COMMITTEE
HISTORY:
The Orleans Police Station is located on the corner of Eldridge Park Way and Route 28.
The building was built in 1966 as a combined Police and Fire Department facility. The
Fire Department moved out in 1989 and the building was remodeled as a Police only
facility.
A proposal for a new Police Building, with a 20 year horizon in mind, was brought forth
to the May 2008 Annual Town meeting where it gained an 80.6% approval, but failed at
the polls by 19 votes. The project was reworked with a 10 year horizon in mind and
downsized accordingly. This was brought to the October 2008 Special Town Meeting
where it received a 68.74% approval, but did not reach the 75% threshold which was
required. Therefore on two separate occasions Town Meeting, with over a 2/3 majority,
supported the demolition of the current Police Station and replacing it with a new
building on the current site, but fell slightly short of gaining enough support to move
forward.
2014 ACTIVITIES
On November 19, 2014 the Board of Selectmen formed a Police Station Building
Committee. The Committee consists of five voting members: Tom Finan, Chairman;
Bill Weil, Vice Chairman; Dale Fuller, Clerk; Jeff Roy and Bill Stoeckert. In addition
there are Ex-Officio members: Police Chief Scott MacDonald, Town Administrator John
Kelly, and Ron Collins, Town Facility Manager and Project Manager.
The Board of Selectmen, realizing that the current Police Station has continued to
deteriorate in spite of keep-alive investments and being maintained as well as possible,
charged the newly formed Committee as follows:
• Hire an Architect that has not been previously involved
• Peer review previous work from 2008
• Update to current times
• Incorporate Police Department five year strategic plan
• Incorporate best practices and state-of-the-art thinking
• Explore four alternatives
1.Renovate
2.Add on
3.Demolish & build new
4.Ora combination of the aforementioned
• As a complementary effort, hire an Environmental firm to determine if any soil
contamination exists on the site that will need to be remediated during
construction (the Town fuel depot has been on this site for many decades).
• Update the Board of Selectmen on a monthly basis and present a final report at
their March 4, 2015 meeting — to include:
o Which of the four alternatives noted above should be brought to the May
2015 Town Meeting
• Architect's cost estimate for Detailed Architecture Engineering and Design
Funding Article for the May 2015 Annual Town Meeting
• Architect's Construction cost estimate for FY/17 Capital Improvements Plan
(CIP) including site contamination remediation if required
158
Two Committee meetings were held in December 2014. A Charge for the Peer Review
Architect was developed in keeping the Committee's charge. A scope of work was
developed for Environmental Services. Contracts have been awarded to:
•Jacunski Humes Architects
•Bennett Environmental Associates
Significant public outreach will take place as this building project takes shape, prior to it
being presented for voter approval at the May 11, 2015 Annual Town Meeting. All
meetings of the Committee are open to the public and broadcast live on Channel 18.
Citizens are encouraged to follow the proceedings of the Committee and contact a
Committee member with any questions that arise.

RENEWABLE ENERGY COMMITTEE
Early in 2014 Broadway Electric announced that it was going out of business, after
receiving a contract from CVEC to install Solar PV arrays at many cape towns. Many of
these projects were picked up by G&S Installers. The Orleans Capped Landfill Solar PV
installation was completed in late Aug. Unfortunately N-Star was overloaded and gave
the town an expected time of Spring 2015 for connecting this facility to the grid.
OREC met with various Solar Photovoltaic developers during the year, to further our
knowledge of the industry. These installers included Borrego Solar, My Generation
Energy, Blue Wave Capital and CVEC. We developed a RFP (Request for Proposal)
and sent it to all of the above. The committee decided to reject the CVEC proposal and
continue with the evaluation of the three remaining developers.
OREC decided to postpone the investigation of installing a Solar PV array within the
Orleans Watershed site (I&M facility). There are too many DEP issues to be resolved.
The committee arranged for the showing of the film "Switch" at the COA. A copy of the
film is also available at the local library. This is an excellent film about energy sources
and usage worldwide. The primary researcher, Dr Scott Tinker, also makes some
predictions about energy demands and usage into the future. The primary message
from this film is "how can we change our energy sources and consumption, to minimize
global warming".
Cape Light Compact (CLC) gave a presentation to the committee and some other
Orleans residents about why the cost of energy will spike during the winter months, in
all of Southeastern MA. This is primarily due to the availability of natural gas (the
preferred fuel for electrical energy generation).
We are very sorry to report the passing of two of our very active members during 2014,
Richard Philbrick and Dave Hubbard.
The movement toward renewable energy sources is receiving a lot of attention in the
world, the US and Cape Cod. There are new technologies and suppliers being
introduced quite often. The OREC has been actively reviewing the news releases,
visiting sites, attending seminars and conferences in order to keep up to date on these
improvements and offerings.
The OREC is presently looking for two additional members to join our active committee.

full time employees and two seasonal patrol boat operators. Our work includes such
activities as: issuance of mooring permits, maintaining mooring waiting lists, issuance of
Rock Harbor dockage agreements, issuance of commercial shellfish licenses, natural
resource management and planning, private aquaculture management, maintenance of
town landings, dock and pier repair and construction, shellfish propagation, setting and
hauling of aids to navigation, vessel pump-out service, marine animal rescue, herring
run maintenance and restoration, marine rescue, emergency towing and enforcement of
all federal, state, and local laws, bylaws and regulations governing boating and shell-
fishing.
Specific projects for the year were as follows:
Shellfish Propagation Program. During 2014, our Department planted 575,000 quahogs
in the Nauset and Pleasant Bay estuaries. The Orleans Pond Coalition, in cooperation
with our department, continued a project growing oysters in an up-weller located at
Arey's Pond Boat Yard. Approximately 25,000 oysters that were reared and over-
wintered were direct planted in the waters of the Town in the early Summer.
Additionally, approximately 35,000 oysters were reared in the up-weller and set to over-
winter with planting scheduled for Summer Of 2015.
Facility Improvements. In the Fall of 2014, the Rock Harbor dredging project was
started. As of December 2, the project was approximately eighty percent completed
with further dredging and pile installation required in 2015.
I would like to express my sincerest thanks to those residents and town employees who
so greatly assisted us during 2014. Specifically, I would like to thank Department of
Public Works Director Tom Daley, Fire Chief Anthony Pike, Deputy Fire Chief Geoff
Deering, Police Chief Scott MacDonald, Deputy Police Chief Sean Diamond, Lieutenant
Kevin Higgins, Water Superintendent Todd Bunzick and Highway Superintendent Mark
Budnick and their staff for their constant help and support in our effort to keep the
shoreline and waterways of Orleans safe and sound. I would also like to thank the
members of the Shellfish and Waterways Advisory Committee for their dedicated efforts
at preserving the marine resources of the town. I wish to express as always my
gratitude to my assistants, Gardner Jamieson and Greg Normandy, for their hard work
and overall commendable performance in their respective positions. I would also like to
thank my predecessor Dawson L. Farber IV for his 18 years of dedicated service as
Harbormaster.

SHELLFISH AND WATERWAYS IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
In its advisory capacity, the committee serves as a resource to the Town Administrator,
Board of Selectmen (BOS), Natural Resource Manager-Harbormaster/Shellfish
Constable and other town boards and committees, for issues related to preserving,
protecting, managing, and enhancing our natural resources such as finfish, shellfish and
public waterways.
The Committee continued its active support of the Orleans Pilgrim Lake Volunteer
Herring Count Program, now in its 7th year, and we thank the over 62 volunteer herring
counters for their efforts and continued dedication to this important monitoring effort. A
total of 449 counts were conducted by volunteers over 62 days between April 1 and
May 31. Based on an actual count of 370 herring, the MA State Division of Fisheries,
Diadromous Fisheries Biology & Management Program calculated that the estimated
run size for 2014 was 4202 herring (+/-2534). Though not quite as high as 2012, it was
an increase over the counts/run sizes calculated for the years 2008-2011 and 2013.
The Committee continued to support the Orleans Pond Coalition's Oyster Upweller
Project, a new and growing citizen volunteer effort which also receives technical support
from the Orleans Harbormaster/Shellfish Constable, and facilities support from Arey's
Pond Boat Yard.
The Committee also continued to provide the Natural Resources Department-
Harbormaster and Shellfish Constable Dawson Farber, and upon his departure, his
replacement Nathan Sears, and our Board of Selectmen Liaison David Dunford, with
feedback, and/or support as needed on a variety of shellfish and waterways topics.
163
Discussions included, but were not limited to; management recommendations for Cedar
Pond and the Cedar Pond Herring Run, marine predators/public safety, boat access
and parking at town landings, Rock Harbor dredging, Nauset Spit and Inlet and the
Nauset Beach Conservation Plan, ocean acidification, shellfish diseases, shellfish
seed/ARC, and possible solutions for issues related to Meetinghouse Pond swimming
lessons. In addition, several Committee members attended the Annual Meeting for the
River Herring Network, and served as Liaisons on the Orleans Water Quality Advisory
Panel.
Respectfully submitted,
Judith Scanlon, Chairwoman
SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE
The committee reviews commercial site plans for compliance with regulations and
provides guidance on development proposals. In 2014, thirteen meetings were held.
There were a total of fourteen Informal Site Plan Reviews and eight Formal Site Plan
Reviews as well as discussions and status updates.
Site Plan Review Committee members represent the following departments: Building,
Conservation, Fire, Health, Highway/DPW, Planning, and Water.

SNOW LIBRARY
Despite concerns that libraries may be obsolete and all information will become digital,
Snow Library continues to function as a depository of the written word including
hardcover books, paperbacks, journals, magazines, newspapers, travel guides of all
sorts, along with audio books, DVD's, musical CD's, and the increasing ability to
download a-books and free music. It is also well known as the "Intellectual and Cultural
Center" of Orleans through its offerings of lectures, author readings, Lifetime Learning
Programs, and space for community meetings. A more vital library is hard to find on
Cape Cod.
STAFF: Staff changes for 2014 included the retirement of Betty Steele-Jeffers, after
fourteen years of service as Reference Librarian, although, happily willing to remain as
substitute. Linda Huntington was hired in the fall as Reference Librarian. The staff at
Snow Library is known for their knowledge, friendliness, helpfulness, dedication, and
flexibility for which the patrons and Trustees are immensely thankful.
BUILDING: Our 45 year old building continues to present many problems due to its
deteriorating condition. Right after Mr. Prugno assumed leadership of the library there
was an aged water pipe rupture, which flooded the lower restrooms. In addition, un-
insulated pipes continue to be a challenge, causing ceiling tiles to fill with water and
then drop from above, including one at the circulation desk. In June 2014, the library's
septic system suffered a catastrophic failure. Fortunately, the library was able to remain
open while a new septic system was installed. On the positive side, new front and side
doors were installed, replacing rusting and often non-functioning handicap access.
164
The staff and Trustees are especially grateful to Ron Collins, Town Facilities Manager
for expertly overseeing and handling all our building crises. Still, more repairs will be
required in the near future.
PROGRAMS and SERVICES: Snow Library has 9,731 registered borrowers; circulation
was approximately 164,300, with 25,482 items requested through interlibrary loan, and
10,682 items requested from our library. In addition, Snow Library is rich in providing
programs for our year round and summer patrons. The Summer at Snow series on
Wednesday evenings, sponsored by the Fred J. Brotherton Foundation and the Friends
of Snow Library, provide music programs on the green and author talks in the Craine
Gallery Room. In January and February the Rowena Myers Trust sponsors music
programs, such as the Bert Jackson Trio, Cerise Bynoe Jazz and the Dan Sullivan Trio
to cheer us on gray winter Saturday afternoons. The highly respected and imitated
Lifetime Learning Programs, sponsored by the Friends of the Snow Library, in the fall
and winter, provide a large variety of programming ranging from Peter Saunders
popular Poetry Workshop to Aquaculture, Books and Ideas, Gallery Hopping, Classic
and Broadway Musicals, Turkey and India, Genealogy and many, many more. Over
12,780 adult attendees met for over 354 programs in 2014. The Marion Craine Room
Gallery Committee continued to showcase local artists who provide beautiful art work
for our enjoyment for a month before rotating to a new exhibit. The Youth Services
Librarian, Ann Foster, has introduced new children's programs such as Game Day.
She also hosts an ice cream party to kick off the summer reading program and has a
considerable following for her summer programs, including PJ Story Time. In addition,
both the Snow Library Staff and the Friends of the Snow Library continue to foster a
closer relationship with both the Elementary and Middle Schools. Friends contribute
books to the One-School One-Book program at the Elementary School and library staff
participates in the discussions. Every year the Snow Library sponsors an art program
with the 4t" graders at the Elementary School and Cape Cod Museum of Art in which
students select art that is then displayed in an art show at the Marion Craine Room.
This year, 1,924 attendees attended 117 children's programs.
The Snow Library has seen an increase in requests by independent authors to reserve
space to present their writings to the public. There also has been an increase in
requests by the public for help in understanding their digital devices, which have been
met through the generosity and skill of our staff. Also, requests are increasing to use the
facilities at Snow Library for meetings by community organizations, such as Orleans
Community Partnership, Nauset Newcomers book groups and the Orleans Pond
Coalition. The room space has become quite a challenge when many programs are
happening on the same day.
OTHER STATISTICS: The Snow Library holds a variety of materials numbering about
83,364. Space is at a premium and the library had to re-arrange an area in the lower
level to put up more bookshelves. The patrons particularly love the Snow Library
collections, while audios and a-books are becoming more popular. The "Freegal" music
program, which allows 3 downloads of music pieces per week is also becoming more
widely used. "Consumer Reports Online" is a new-welcomed offering. The library has 10
computers, which are used by 300 people per week, on average, with more requests in
the summer. In addition, the library has wi-fi, which allows the public to use their own
digital devices. In 2014, 155,802 people came into the library for materials, programs or
services. The Board of Trustees spent a significant amount of time this past year
165
reviewing and updating By-laws and Policies before submitting them to Michael Ford,
Town Legal Counsel, for review.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: It is without question that the Friends of the Snow Library,
membership of 1000 strong, provide outstanding support and donations to the library in
books and materials bought, financial periodicals provided, museum passes purchased
and Lifetime Learning programs offered that make Snow Library a rich and wonderful
library to visit and use both for Orleans citizens and visitors. The Board of Trustees
gratefully recognizes their outstanding contributions. We are also thankful for the
donations and gifts given to the library in memory or honor of loved ones. This year's
gifts were given in memory of Owen Calderwood, Nora Hersey, Carl Hevert, Albert
Della Malva, Fran Ryan, Kurt Uebele, Harriet Wicke, Jane Wilson and George
Webbere. A gift was made in honor of Betty Steele- Jeffers for her service to Snow
Library. We were especially fortunate to be part of the Will of Helen Telfair, who left a
substantial unrestricted donation. The Board of Trustees voted to use some of these
funds to buy 7 new computers. We are grateful to many of the departments of the Town
of Orleans, especially Myra Suchenicz, Assistant Town Administrator; Alan McClennen,
Selectman, and liaison to the Board of Trustees; Peter Van Dyck, of Information
Systems; and The Parks Department.
Respectfully submitted,
Sandra M. Rhodes, Chairperson
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Orleans Elementary School (OES) bid farewell and best wishes to Principal Diane
Carreiro as she began her retirement and welcomed Elaine Pender as the new Principal
at OES. We made significant progress on meeting our key goals in 2014. These
included: meeting individual student needs through increased use of data based
decision making; providing tiered instruction to target the varied needs of all students;
expanding the use of technology as a tool of learning; and promoting programs that
develop character and reinforce positive social skills.
Thank you for your continued support of the students and staff of the Nauset Public
Schools. Because of this support, we continue to experience outstanding results at
Orleans Elementary Schools and the Nauset Regional Schools. OES continues to
perform very well and is ranked at the 84th percentile of comparable schools throughout
the state on the MCAS. These results can only happen with exceptional instructional
practices by our teaching staff, small class sizes, and strong community engagement
and support! But we don't "teach to the test" in Nauset; rather we teach to exceed the
State standards that are evaluated on the MCAS tests.
Many building projects have been completed with the help of Ron Collins, Town of
Orleans Building and Facilities Manager. The entry way is undergoing renovations for
safety and security reasons, ceiling tiles were replaced in the kitchen along with other
upgrades, carpeting has been installed in some classrooms and the computer lab has
new furniture and has been completely rewired to be more efficient and safe.
Technology purchases have been made to enhance student learning at the school and
plans are underway to obtain more devices for student use. A project to replace exterior
doors and windows is underway and scheduled to begin in the summer of 2015 with
financial assistance from the State's MSBA. We thank the citizens for their continued
166
support of our school operating and capital budgets. The Orleans Playground Project
continues with landscape architect work and proposals to create surrounding learning-
scapes and walking trails. Your support of the playground brings joy not only to Orleans
Elementary School children but also to the many grandchildren and summer visitors as
well.
Many thanks to Police Chief Scott MacDonald and the Police Department as well as
Fire Chief Tony Pike and the Fire Department for their continued support and advice
with making our schools as safe & secure as possible.
The Nauset Middle School received 37% funding from the State for its roof project
which was completed on time and under budget this past summer. Building needs
remain a priority in Nauset and the School Committee is updating its Long Range
Capital Plan with an emphasis on needed renovations for the 43 year-old Nauset High
School.
There were many exciting happenings at the Regional Schools in 2014. Highlights
include: the introduction of Mandarin language, the completion of the Greenhouse
Science Lab at the Middle School, and implementation of a 1:1 iPad instructional
technology program for all freshman at Nauset High. All teachers in Grades 6-12 also
received new iPads and judging by the enthusiasm of the staff and students, this
program is a huge success, transforming not only how we teach, but how learning can
be extended far beyond the classroom walls. The Region School Committee will be
considering expanding the program to all students in grades 8-12 in the very near
future. Plans are also in the works to expand the use of technology in all of our K-5
schools as well.
There are 16 students from foreign countries attending Nauset High School this year in
our International Student Program. Now in its third year, the program provides
significant resources to the school (students must pay a tuition based on Nauset's per
pupil expenditure amount) and enriches our students who are exposed to diverse
cultures, customs, and languages. This year's students are from Brazil, China, France,
Germany, Norway and Spain. Ms. Cheng Wenju, the Academic assistant principal in a
school of 3,000 students, grades 7-12 in Shijiazhuang, China, visited the Nauset District
and spent time visiting classes at the Eddy School and the Middle & High School. She
remarked at seeing the children so engaged in their learning, happy, and contributing
ideas in their classrooms. Lively discussions were held between Ms. Cheng and our
faculty. Mr. Tadje Tang, a Nauset graduate who studied in China and now teaches
Mandarin at the High School, served as Ms. Cheng's interpreter during her visit. This
was truly a wonderful experience for staff and students in the District.
The Joint School Committees (Brewster, Orleans, Wellfleet, Eastham and the Region)
voted to form a Search Committee, and hope to select a new Superintendent in March
2015. 1 will retire this coming August after almost 40 years in education. I look forward
to assisting in the transition of a new superintendent. It has been my privilege to serve
as the Superintendent of the Nauset Public Schools for the last six years. Your
kindness, support, and genuine interest in ensuring that our schools have the resources
needed to excel has made my work a joy, not a job! Nauset is truly a very special place
where "every child matters" and the community embraces that belief wholeheartedly.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard J. Hoffmann, Superintendent of Schools

VETERANS' GRAVES OFFICER
During 2014 the Veterans graves flags were maintained and a new flag was placed on
each grave in the beginning of May for Memorial Day by Pete Howerton (recently retired
Veterans' Graves Officer) assisted by several Orleans residents.
As we enter December all of the Veterans graves have had their flags inspected and all
is well until we get into the stormy winter season. The flags will continue to be monitored
during the winter and spring and needed repairs or replacements will be made as
necessary.
There were four or five new graves for Veterans this past year and each grave received
a bronze marker and flag. The cemetery office keeps track of which graves are eligible
to receive a marker and flag. The family of the deceased has to provide a government
form DD-214 showing that the deceased was in the military and merits a marker and
flag.
This year the wind was a little kinder on the flags and for Veteran's Day not too many
flags had to be replaced. If you are aware of a missing marker please let me know and
I will try to replace it as soon as possible. If a flag has come detached from the staff
please do not remove the staff as that makes it easier to locate the site and replace the
flag.
Respectfully submitted,
Howard H. Kucks, Veterans' Graves Officer
VETERANS' SERVICES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Orleans.
The following report is of the activities of the Department of Veterans' Services for
Calendar Year 2014. Our duties are categorized in two basic areas: Benefits and
Services.
Commonwealth Low-income Benefits:
This program is covered and authorized under Massachusetts General Law Chapter
115. It provides financial assistance to honorably-discharged, veterans who establish
need and worthiness and are residents of the Town of Orleans. During the year the
Town, through our office, extended benefits to qualified veterans totaling $27,200 for
housing, food, heat, medical and other related costs. The amount expended was
reimbursed to the Town by the Commonwealth at a rate of 75% of total expenditures.
Federal Benefits and Services:
We assisted veterans and their dependents in obtaining federal, state and local benefits
under the broad umbrella of the Department of Veterans Affairs. These services
included payments for service-connected disabilities, pensions, education, medical,
burial, medals and records. During the year, this office assisted in obtaining $1,215,500
in cash payments for service-injury compensation and disability pensions for Orleans
veterans and their dependents. These alternative sources of income are at no cost to
the Town and greatly reduce the need for the MGL Chapter 115 benefits noted above.
168
Our objective is to be a one-stop center for all of the benefit needs of both veterans and
their spouses and our staff works very hard to meet that goal. We are anxious and
willing to assist with claims and information for the full range of available services.
We encourage any veteran or dependent of a veteran to contact us at our main office in
Hyannis at 1-888-778-8701 Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. We can
also schedule appointments in one of our offices, at your home or any location that is
best for you. For the convenience of our Orleans veterans, we maintain hours at our
Lower Cape office in Harwich on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 9:00 AM to
4:OOPM. The phone number is 508-430-7510.
We would like to thank the Town Administrator, Town Accountant, Treasurer, and
Finance Committee for their outstanding support.
In the Service of all Veterans,
Edward F. Merigan, Director and Veterans' Agent
Wilfred Remillard, Orleans Service Officer
Harry G. Rae, Lower Cape Service Officer

WATER DEPARTMENT
The Orleans Water Department is pleased to provide the following report of happenings
for calendar year 2014.
The Town of Orleans, through an RFP process, contracted with the engineering firm
Wright Pierce for the development of a 20-year Asset Management Plan for the Water
Department. The final product was presented to the Board of Selectmen on March 12,
2014. The Water Department is self-funded through its water rates. The 20-year Asset
management Plan contained specific capital project goals and proposed rate increases
necessary for the implementation of those projects. It will be an invaluable tool for the
Water Department for the next 20-years. The Asset Management Plan can be viewed
from the Water Department page of the Town of Orleans website
www.town.orleans.ma.us.
The Town of Orleans is very excited to have contracted with Advanced Enterprise
Systems Corporation for a Computerized Management Maintenance System (Utility
Cloud) to be used in conjunction with the 20-year Asset Management Plan for asset
management, workflow management, work order tracking and MADEP reporting. If all
goes as planned, Utility Cloud could also be used to benefit many departments within
the town. Utility Cloud was presented to the Board of Selectmen and the Finance
Committee on November 5, 2014.
The Department of Environmental Protection Agency (DEP) conducted both a Cross
Connection Audit on July 29, 2014 and a Sanitary Survey on October 30, 2014 of the
Orleans Water Department, the results of which have not yet been received.
The Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners also addressed the following matters in
2014:
• Brought a request for a transfer of funds from the Water Surplus Account in order to
fund a number of projects recommended in the 20-year Asset Management Plan to
the May 2014 Special Annual Town Meeting for consideration and approval.
• Attended emergency preparedness training that included Water, Fire, Police, DPW,
MIS, Health and Buildings and Maintenance Departments.
170
• Worked cooperatively with Carole Ridley of the Pleasant Bay Alliance to include with
the semi-annual water billing information on fertilizer management.
• Made a recommendation to the Board of Selectmen for a 7% water rate increase to
begin with the August 1, 2014 billing. They further recommended all necessary
future rate increases sufficient enough to fully establish and maintain stabilization
funds for membrane replacement and tank painting as proposed in the 20-year
Asset Management Plan. The Board of Selectmen approved a 5% rate increase on
April 7, 2014.
• Provided written comments to MA DEP on the draft regulations for the
Commonwealth's Water Management Act which they believe could have major
financial implications for current and future water use in Orleans.
Throughout the year the Water Department maintained its system maintenance
programs. This includes the inspection, repair and replacement of fire hydrants, meter
replacement program, valve exercising, well redevelopment and the replacement of
undersized water main on Carver Road.
We would like to express our appreciation to the Water Department personnel,
especially Richard Knowles who retired July 25, 2014 after 33 years of service, the
other town departments and the residents of the Town of Orleans for their assistance,
cooperation and support during the past year.

ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
The purpose of the Board is to hear and decide applications or petitions for Special
Permits or Variances as empowered under the Zoning Bylaws of the Town and the
Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 40A, and to hear and decide appeals from
decisions of the Zoning Administrator.
There were 12 regular open meetings in 2014. A total of 21 applications were
submitted. All applications were heard; none were continued to 2014. Of the 15 Special
Permit applications heard, 14 were granted and one was withdrawn without prejudice.
Four applications combined Special Permit and Variance requests; in all cases a
Special Permit was granted and the request for Variance withdrawn. Two requests for
Variance were heard and granted. There was one appeal of a Zoning Administrator
decision. There were no applications for Comprehensive Permit, although a change to
the Comprehensive Permit issued in Case # 1950 was reviewed by the Board and
determined to be insignificant.
171
Michael P. Marnik was re-elected Chairman, Matthew Cole Vice Chairman, and D. Beth
McCartney Board Clerk. Other continuing Board members were Rolf Soderstrom and
William McCarthy. Mr. Gerald Mulligan continued as an associate member. Bruce Taub
and Peter Jablon were appointed as associate members. Greg Delory resigned.

ZONING BYLAW TASK FORCE
Zoning Bylaw Task Force develops zoning proposals in response to guidance from the
Planning Board. Technical and other issues are worked out and recommended
language is forwarded to the Planning Board for consideration.
In 2014, the Task Force developed text for 5 Zoning Bylaw amendments which were
approved at the Annual Town Meeting. The Board also participated in the development
of a phosphorus fertilizer regulation to limit nutrient loading to ground and surface
waters. Late in the year, 3 additional zoning amendments were developed for public
hearing and possible consideration at the 2015 Annual Town Meeting.
