Paul O. Fulcher
September 6, 1951 - February 6, 2015
A proud native Cape Codder, Paul worked for the Town of Orleans for 38 years. He graduated
High School and served in the Army for 4 years. Upon returning home, he began working for
the Town while attending Cape Cod Community College, all the while maintaining an A average
and obtaining his Associate's Degree. Paul became the Superintendent of Parks and Beaches 2
years later. Paul was a highly valued and respected Department Head who believed in
"teamwork." He enjoyed his fellow Department Heads, co-workers, and the citizen volunteers
who helped to make Orleans a special town to work and raise a family in. When Paul received
praise about how beautiful the Town looked, his reply was always to give credit to those who
worked in his department and to the citizen volunteer groups, such as the Orleans Improvement
Association, the Chamber of Commerce and others.
Paul, Russell Ford and John Murphy, Sr. raised money for the lights at Eldredge Park and for
the kiosks on Old Colony Way. Paul loved to play golf with his colleagues and for several years
"the golfers" would venture to Myrtle Beach and Florida thinking they could become the next
"Tiger Woods!" His daughters, Vicki and Tina, and his grandchildren, Cedella and Bryson were
the light of his life and always brought a smile to his face. Paul will always be remembered for
his impish grin while visiting town departments, teasing someone only to exit laughing as he
went out the door! He will be dearly missed.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND TOWN ADMINISTRATOR
In 2015, 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:
• Conducted a mid-year budget review to evaluate progress toward achieving the
Board's financial goals and a year-end budget review to evaluate achievements,
failures and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Completed the dredging and removal of approx. 28,000 cubic yards of material from
Rock Harbor boat basin under a joint construction project with the Town of Eastham.
• Implemented a 3-year Habitat Conservation Plan Permit that will allow ORV's onto
Nauset Beach South as early as July 15 each summer.
• Continued to lead the Town's preparation of a revised Comprehensive Wastewater
Management Plan based on accepted scientific and engineering data in order to
meet the federally mandated TMDL's for Orleans' estuaries.
• Worked to implement and support communications policies and procedures that
ensure timely and responsive management of correspondence, emails and phone
calls.
• Developed a zero-based budget approach for each of the divisions within the
Department of Public Works and Natural Resources.
• Completed an Outer Beach Management Plan to evaluate the ongoing erosion and
identify actions to address the threat to parking, access, and support facilities at
Nauset Beach.
• Completed the demolition and removal of the cottages and office on the former
Hubler Motel property in phase one of constructing an additional parking lot for
Nauset Beach.
Also in 2015, Tom Evers was promoted to Building Commissioner to replace Brian
Harrison who retired, Frank Nichols was hired as the new DPW Manager and
Selectmen John Hodgson was 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,
Alan McClennen Jr., 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, 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 year the Department of Public Works and Natural Resources added the selling of
family shellfish permits to their duties. This facilitated tracking of data within their
stickers program and allowed for weekend sales of the permits.
Our databases for Dog Licensing, Boards & Commissions, and Business Certificates &
Underground Storage Permits have streamlined our recording keeping and reporting as
well as facilitated easier access to information. On our website, the meeting schedule
calendar provides easy access to meeting agendas and minutes that have been filed
with us.
2015 was a quieter election year for us with just the Annual and Special Town Meetings
and Town Election in May.
A special thank you to my assistant, Kelly Darling for all her continued hard work and
dedication during this year.

The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 13, 2015. 12 people were in
attendance. The Board received several helpful comments from residents in favor of this
amendment. The Planning Board voted 5-0-0 in favor of the amendment.
This amendment to the regulation of nonconforming structures is brought forward in
response to recent case law on the issue. Under the proposal, an alteration to a
nonconforming structure which increases or intensifies the nonconformity may be
allowed by Special Permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals. A Special Permit requires
findings that the site is suitable for the proposed alteration. An alteration that would
result in the creation of a NEW nonconformity would require the granting of a Variance.
A Variance requires statutory findings of substantial hardship among other findings, and
is much more difficult to obtain.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE
In 2015 the Affordable Housing Committee continued its pursuit of maintaining the
current stock, and pursuing new development of quality affordable housing
opportunities. During the year the Committee saw the last of the Habitat for Humanity's
six homes on Bevans Way competed and occupied. The Committee also supported
Emmaus House and their successful pursuit of partial funding from CPA funds for the
rehabilitation of their facility on Tonset Road. Additionally, the Committee supported the
Harwich Ecumenical Council for Housing (HECH) CPA application for funds that will
provide emergency loans to income-qualified homeowners for much needed home
improvements. The Committee continues to work with Cape Cod Village in its efforts to
develop a home for autistic adults in Orleans.
The Committee continued its outreach efforts to other local and regional housing
agencies in its pursuit to identify future projects that would further the Town goal of 10%
affordable housing.
The Committee is thankful for the many years of dedicated service of two members,
Jane Hinckley and Judith Hunt.

BARNSTABLE COUNTY ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES
The Assembly of Delegates is the legislative branch of County Government. Each of the
fifteen towns in Barnstable County is represented on the Assembly by a Delegate
elected by the voters of the town. Delegates serve two-year terms, and the next election
is in November, 2016.
91
Except as provided in the Barnstable County Home Rule Charter, the acts of the
Assembly of Delegates are required to be by ordinance. The Assembly holds regular
meetings on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 4:00 p.m. in the Chamber
of the Assembly of Delegates, First District Courthouse, in Barnstable. Each Delegate's
vote is a weighted vote based on the U.S. Decennial Census, with Barnstable currently
having the largest vote (20.92%) and Truro having the smallest vote (0.93%). The
Orleans vote is currently 2.73%.
As the County's legislative branch, the Assembly deals with setting priorities among the
many activities of County Government, including dredging, water and food quality and
testing, the child advocacy center, homelessness and other human service needs,
hazardous materials collection, mosquito and disease control, transportation, farming
and marine resources, fire training, and also helps facilitate regional responses to
regional challenges.
Various Standing Committees of the Assembly are formed to review budgets, proposed
ordinances, and planning initiatives. Committees examine department budgets, review
new programs, and also assess the goals and effectiveness of each county program.
The Standing Committee on Finance, in addition to the task of reviewing the County

BOARD OF HEALTH
On May 6, 2015, in an effort to improve public safety at Orleans semi-public swimming
pools, the Orleans Board of Health adopted amendments to its Public and Semi-Public
Swimming Pool Regulations. The significant changes to the regulations include
provisions requiring that signage be posted at licensed semi-public swimming pools
stating that; Children under the age of 16 must not use the swimming pool without an
adult in attendance and adults should not swim alone. The Board also modified the
existing requirements for bacteriological testing/standards to match the State Code.
In cooperation with the Barnstable County Department of Health and the Environment, the
Board of Health continued its weekly surveillance of the water quality of the town's 5
bathing beaches during the summer months. Of the 76 samples analyzed, 2 samples
exceeded the bacteriological limits for bathing beaches. In each case the bathing beach
was immediately re-sampled and received a satisfactory result.
In 2015 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.

BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN COMMITTEE
Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety- J1 Foreign Workers,
In conjunction with the Orleans Police Department temporary lawn signs were posted
around Orleans reminding bicyclists which side of the road to ride on. Additionally, we
have made efforts to encourage business owners to provide blinking bicycle safety
lights to any employee who uses a bicycle as their main source of transportation to and
from work. A letter was distributed to the businesses through the Orleans Chamber of
Commerce and two local bicycle shops agreed to give discounts to employers
purchasing lights for their employees. We have continued to see an increase in the use
of bicycle safety lights by J1 students during the summer months.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety-Residents & Tourists
In conjunction with the Orleans Police Department we participated in the annual Coast
to Coast Bicycle Ride promoting safe bicycling. Much work in the past was also put into
the study of having the town bid for potential multi-use paths, bike paths, pedestrian
walkways and sidewalks to our roads as they are scheduled for improvement. We have
met with Tom Daley, the Director of Public Works in order to keep abreast of scheduled
road maintenance in hopes that improvements for pedestrian and bicycle use are
considered as work is being done.
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 and Walking trail a reality.
Respectfully,

CAPE COD COMMISSION
In March 2015, the Cape Cod Commission celebrated the 25th anniversary of the
county-wide vote that created it as the regional land use planning, economic
development, and regulatory agency for Barnstable County, Massachusetts. 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 Area-wide Water Quality Management Plan Update
U.S. EPA approved the Cape Cod Area-Wide Water Quality Management Plan, commonly
referred to as the 208 Plan, leading to the implementation phase of the plan. Sandwich
was designated as the Waste Treatment Management Agency, or WMA, for the
watersheds within its boundaries.
The stakeholder process used in the development of the 208 Plan Update was
recommended for us in local plans and has been put into action by the Town of Orleans in
FY2015.
97
The Commission also developed innovative, first-of-their-kind decision-support tools as
part of the plan. WatershedMVP (multi-variant planner), the Scenario Assessment Model
(SAM), a financial model and others will make local discussions and decisions easier by
processing complex data sets into usable options. These and other tools are available at
www.capecodcommission.org/blackbox.
More information on the 208 Plan Update is located at www.capecodcommission.org/208
Regional Policy Plan Update
The last update to the Regional Policy Plan (RPP) in 2009 represented the first
substantial reorganization of the RPP since it was first drafted, separating the regulatory
and planning sections.
For this update, the Commission is building on those earlier reforms. Among the goals
for the RPP update are to: ease the local comprehensive planning process and increase
consistency with regional goals, simplify the regulatory process and create a framework
for regional capital planning.
A series of on-line planning tools were developed to support the RPP Update process
and local decision making, such as the Chronology Viewer, Community Characteristics
Viewer and Envision Tomorrow. These and other tools are available at
www.capecodcommission.org/blackbox.
Strategic Information Office
The Commission's Strategic Information Office (SIO) continued its technical support and
development of an electronic permits, licenses and inspections solution for Cape towns,
known as ePermitting. The system is live in the towns of Yarmouth, Chatham,
Provincetown, and Harwich. Sandwich, Falmouth, and Orleans may move forward with
e-Permitting implementation in the coming 12 months.
The Commission contracted for planimetrics data to be developed from imagery from
the April 2014 Cape-wide aerial flyover. Planimetrics is the conversion of imagery into a
flat digital map of elements such as roads, fire hydrants, utility poles, curb cuts and
other such features essential for capital facilities and infrastructure design and general
planning. The Cape-wide contract for this work has an estimated savings of between
$370,000 and $620,000, as opposed to individual town contracts.
Planning/Community Design
With expertise in land use planning, zoning, natural resources, historic preservation,
affordable housing, and other areas, the planning staff works to improve the function
and character of communities while managing growth and protecting the Cape's
sensitive environment.
Through the Commission's historic preservation specialist, 48 historic properties and
districts were protected through inventory and state register listing. The Commission
provided technical assistance and support to five towns to update their Multi-Hazard
Mitigation plans — Barnstable, Chatham, Dennis, Provincetown, Truro — and six other
towns are updating their existing plans.
Planning staff has led an 18-month effort with the National Park Service to complete
bicycle master plan for the Outer Cape communities.
CEDS/Economic Development
Barnstable County received federal designation as an Economic Development District in
late 2013, resulting in a $60,000 Economic Development Administration grant. The
Commission's administration of the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy,
or CEDS, was key in receiving the designation.
98
The Commission maintains 20 balanced economy benchmarks, eight up-to-date town-
level data tables and 11 maps by county for each town, which are available on
STATSCapeCod.org. Adding to this economic analysis is BART (Barnstable Area
Regional Trends), a quarterly on-line publication that identifies and examines important
economic trends in the region, available at www.capecodcommission.org/bart.
RESET Projects
Among the services the Cape Cod Commission provides to towns is technical
assistance through RESET (Regional Economic Strategy Executive Team) projects.
Staff members from multiple departments collaborate with town leaders on planning
projects to promote economic development on Cape Cod. It is part of the
implementation strategy for the Cape Cod Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy, or CEDS, which is administered by the Commission.
ORLEANS, RTE 6: The Commission has been examining ways that the town can meet
the vision established in the Local Comprehensive Plan for the Route 6A corridor
between the Brewster and Eastham town lines. The project has involved analysis of the
existing zoning, parking, and infrastructure; survey of local business and property
owners to better understand issues and opportunities; review of bicycle, pedestrian and
automobile circulation, and the development of a range of recommendations for land
use, circulation and zoning changes, streetscape improvements and funding sources for
implementation. www.car)ecodcommission.org/ceds
Smarter Cape Conference
The 5th Annual SmarterCape conference focused on the housing challenges and
opportunities facing Cape Cod from multiple perspectives, including results of a housing
survey by the Cape Cod Young Professionals. Sessions included discussions about
when increased housing density make sense, interactive planning tools, and examples
of what other communities have done to create wage-sustainable housing in their
communities. Governor Charlie Baker was keynote speaker at the Summit.
Regulatory Program
Through its Regulatory Program, the Cape Cod Commission reviews projects that
present regional issues identified in the Act, including water quality, traffic flow,
community character, affordable housing, open space, natural resources, and economic
development as Developments of Regional Impact (DRIs).
Affordable Housing/HOME Consortium
The Commission administered the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD)-funded HOME Programs, which created 71 rental units in 2015,
and provided direct technical assistance to the towns of Bourne, Brewster, Chatham,
Wellfleet and Truro. The Commission also completed and submitted the federally-
required Affordable Housing Consolidated Plan for 2016
FY2015 saw a number of transitions for the HOME Program, which has been
administered by the Commission since 1993. With the retirement of Housing Specialist
Paul Ruchinskas in October 2014, the program was reevaluated and the decision made
to transfer the operation to Barnstable County's Department of Human Services. This
was accomplished as part of the budget process for FY2016.
The Commission's housing specialist position was redefined and will see formal
implementation in FY2016.
99
Water Resources
Water Staff provides technical assistance to 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, regional and state committees and strives to
develop strategies to implement cost-effective solutions to capitalize on common regional
needs across the Cape.
The Commission's watershed manager also serves as the Licensed Site Professional for
Barnstable County and provided support to the Barnstable County Commissioners related
to contamination related to past operations at the Barnstable Fire Training Academy.
The Commission has coordinated the PALS (Ponds and Lake Stewards) pond sampling
program since its inception in 2001.
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 FY2015, more than $18.6 million in Federal and State infrastructure capital was secured
for the region.
The TIP is a list of transportation system projects to be implemented with federal and state
funds available for Cape Cod. Projects may include roadway, bicycle, pedestrian, and
transit improvements. The TIP includes four years of projects developed in accordance
with federal laws. capecodcommission/transportation
Highlighted Transportation Projects:
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE: A draft of the 2016-2019 Regional
Transportation Plan, prepared by Commission Staff, was released for public comment by
the Cape Cod MPO in June 2015. A website was developed to track the plan's progress
and provide updates on meeting schedules and key decisions
(www.capecodcommission.org/rtp).
CAPE-WIDE BICYCLE NETWORK PLAN: Through work with individual towns and
development of 10 multi-modal plans, consensus was achieved among all 15 towns for
cross-border bicycle connections.
TRAFFIC COUNTING PROGRAM: The Commission's transportation staff conducted
annual summer traffic counts in all 15 Cape towns, including automatic traffic recorders
(ATRs) and turning movement counts (TMCs).
The following Town of Orleans road segments were included in the FY2015 Traffic
Counting program: Route 28 North of Route 39, Route 28 south of Main St, Route 6 west
of Orleans/Eastham Rotary, Brewster Cross Road east of Route 6A, Canal Road east of
Jones Road, Cove Road west of Route 28, Cross Road east of Route 28, Eldredge

CAPE COD CANAL TRANSPORTATION STUDY: The Commission assisted the
Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) on the Canal Area Study by
providing traffic counts to calibrate the transportation model.
Regional Coordination/Technical Assistance
The Commission is in a position to respond to issues of regional concern with technical
assistance and facilitation. Among the issues for which Commission expertise was
sought are:
• Restoration of Route 6 overcut areas between exits 2 and 4, including coordination
of a working group and review of draft plans
• Facilitation of the Regional Beach Access Committee, which advocated for
awareness of regulations relative to the shoreline and local control on beach access
issues such as shoreline protection, permitting, dredging, endangered species and
tourism.
• Convening of the National Grid Ad-Hoc Advisory Committee to help communities
directly affected by the natural gas connection moratorium, expedite permitting
process and facilitate communication.
District Local Technical Assistance (DL TA) Grants
For the past several years, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has allocated funds to
each of the state's 13 regional planning agencies, the Cape Cod Commission among
them, to help municipalities with sustainable development and to encourage municipalities
to form partnerships to achieve planning and development goals consistent with state and
regional priorities.

CAPE COD WATER PROTECTION COLLABORATIVE
Wastewater management continued to be the primary focus for the Collaborative this
year. The discussions focused on the finalization of a regionalized approach to
wastewater management and the potential savings offered by regional watershed based
104
approach. 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 Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative Governing Board and Technical Advisory
Committee (TAC) provided 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 and the Collaborative addressed the potential need for regulatory reform
and other challenges associated with planning and implementation. The Collaborative,
through its Executive Director, was fully involved and engaged in this effort
The ongoing lawsuits between the Conservation Law Foundation, and the United State
Environmental Protection Agency was settled with the parties agreeing that the suit
would be stayed as long as the County completed the 208 Plan, it was certified by the
Governor by June 15, 2015 and approved by EPA by September 2015. Each of those
milestones was met. Governor Baker certified the plan in June of 2015 and the EPA
approved the plan in September of 2015. The completion of the 208 Plan has
successfully shielded the Cape from further litigation as long as communities continue
to make progress implementing nitrogen management measures. The Collaborative will
continue to work with communities to ensure that implementation continues and that the
stay of litigation remains in place.
The Collaborative successfully proposed that the County and the Commonwealth
partner to ensure continuation of a long term record of water quality in the marine
environment and to ensure transparent access for the public to the data. In response to
the Collaborative's request, the Baker Administration has made a four year $1 million
commitment to match county funds to support monitoring of marine sentinel stations
and to develop and maintain a robust web based interface to the underlying data. The
County increased its commitment to monitoring by appropriating $250,000 to match the
Commonwealth's funding.
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
105
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- Stability, Security and Green Power Options
Cape Light Compact offers stable and secure electric supply at competitive rates. Much
depends on timing and market forces, but the Compact was proud to offer stable,
competitive prices in 2015. As in previous years, electricity prices in 2015 were primarily
driven by the price of natural gas. The winter of 2015 saw a lower wholesale electricity
price spike from the 2014 winter, but retail electricity prices were still the highest in
recent history. This is because of high forward market prices at the time when retail
suppliers were procuring in advance for their expected loads. These high forward prices
were set by expectations of the same high wholesale prices seen in the winter of 2014,
which didn't come to fruition this year. While New England's natural gas delivery
constraint was still the main contributing factor to high winter wholesale prices, it was
mitigated by warmer temperatures in the beginning of the winter, increased liquefied
natural gas (LNG) imports, implementation of an improved winter reliability program by
the electricity grid operator, and low oil prices.
The past few years have seen many changes in how electricity is produced in New
England. There is growing concern over how to meet both the reliability needs of the
electric grid and our greenhouse gas reduction goals, all at a reasonable cost to
electricity consumers. In the upcoming year, state elected officials and the
Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities will be focusing on this issue. Topics to be
deliberated include: (1) whet her or not to install new natural gas pipelines, and who
should pay for this; electric customers or gas customers; (2) net metering cap for solar
and other renewable generation projects; (3) smart grid, or grid modernization,
technology, who will benefit and how will costs be allocated amongst electric customers.
As we have done in the past the Cape Light Compact Governing Board will participate
in these, and other, discussions on behalf of electric customers.
In 2015, Cape Light Compact provided energy to residents and businesses in
accordance with two competitive electricity supply contracts negotiated by the Compact.
The Compact's residential electricity supplier was ConEdison Solutions, and the
commercial and industrial supplier was NextEra Energy. As of the most recent count,
the Compact had approximately 4,143 total electric accounts within the Town of Orleans
on its energy supply.
CONSUMER ADVOCACY— Committed to Consumer Interests
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 2015, the Compact focused
much of its advocacy on consumer electricity disclosure labels, DPU's competitive
supply website, and door-to-door marketing rules. These issues affect how electricity
consumers interact with and take advantage of the competitive supply market. The
Compact has provided input advocating for better disclosure methods of electricity
sources, including renewable energy, which will better inform consumers about where
the electricity they're purchasing comes from. The Compact is also continuing to provide
DPU with input on their competitive supplier website in order to ensure it is easy for
106
users to use and understand. The Compact, along with others, has also successfully
lobbied for the implementation of door-to-door marketing rules that will help protect
consumers from some of the unscrupulous marketing tactics that have been used on
the Cape and Vineyard.
The Compact is also pleased to announce that the Department of Public Utilities issued
a final order in May approving the Compact's revisions to its Aggregation Plan, which
was submitted in April 2014. This order affirms the purposes, structure, and funding of
the Compact, and has been used as a model for other municipalities seeking to form
their own aggregations. While Cape Light Compact was the first municipal aggregator in
the state, there are now 72 communities in Massachusetts with approved Aggregation
Plans.

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
107
report any amendments deemed advisable" and "present final recommendations to the
Annual Town Meeting."
Meetings began in June 2014 and all 21 meetings through May 18, 2015 were televised
live on Ch. 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 held on
January 12, 2015 at 7 PM. Comments received at the Public Hearing were included in
subsequent CRC discussions to determine final Charter amendment recommendations for
presentation to the Board of Selectmen on February 4, 2015.
The Board of Selectmen placed all recommended amendments to the Home Rule Charter
as articles on the Warrant for the May 11, 2015 Annual Town Meeting. The CRC members
presented these articles at Town Meeting for consideration and voting by citizens in
attendance. Most recommendations passed unanimously. However, the voters did not
support term limits to appointed boards and committees and the appointment of non-
resident taxpayers to these committees and boards.
The adopted amendments to the Orleans Home Rule Charter have been forwarded to the
MA Attorney General's office for review and if approved will be voted on at the ballot in
May 2016 for final adoption.

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.
108
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 tenth full calendar year of business in 2015. Important
activities during the year were:
• As 2015 commenced, there were fourteen 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 eight projects as follows-
1. HECH Housing Emergency Loan Program - $118,000
2. Emmaus House Rehabilitation - $25,049
3. Orleans Historical Commission Historic Inventory Update - $90,000
4. Interpretive Historic Markers - $8,400
5. Federated Church Lightening Protective Equipment - $11,137
6. Northwest Schoolhouse Restoration - $2,155
7. Orleans Historical Society Expansion Plans - $20,000
8. Completion Orleans Conservation, Recreation and Open Space Plan - 12,000
The Town Meeting followed the CPC recommendations and through Article 2,
approved $503,760 to pay interest and principle on open space debt, $18,000 for
FY '16 Committee expenses and $286,741 for the eight projects, resulting in a
total CPA Program Budget of$808,501
• As 2016 commences, there are seventeen on-going projects which continue to
be monitored by the Committee. There are also seven 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
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,
109
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
2015, the Conservation Commission heard approximately 75 Notices of Intent, 50 other
filings including Certificates of Compliance, Amended Orders, and Requests for
Determination, and reviewed and completed 190 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 2015, 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 condolences to the family of Commissioner Bob
Royce. Bob passed away in January, 2015 and was an active member of the Commission
since 2004. Bob's dedicated service and hard work helped preserve and enhance
Conservation and Wetland interests throughout Orleans.
The Commission would also like to thank the members who served on the Kent's Point
Task Force. The Task Force took on the charge of reviewing the Kent's Point
Conservation area and made recommendations in a final report to the Commission on a
new Management Plan. Thanks to their hard work and cooperation, a new 2015 Land
Management Plan was adopted for Kent's Point.

COUNCIL ON AGING
The mission of the Orleans Council on Aging is to enhance the quality of life for older
adults and caregivers in our community. This has been an incredible year as we have
said goodbye to cherished staff members and greeted new team members,
implemented a new database management system, and still managed to initiate many
enriching new programs which support and encourage seniors while reflecting a
renewed perspective on aging.
This year was the 50th anniversary of the Older Americans Act and the focus has been
on how older adults are taking charge of their health, getting engaged in their
communities and making a positive impact in the lives of others. To support the theme
we implemented new wellness programs which included healthy cooking classes, a fall
prevention campaign, an expanded offering of fitness classes, and a new program to
help those interested in learning more about the benefits of meditation. With a
generous grant from the Fund for Cape Elderly of Cape Cod Foundation we also
110
implemented our "Ask-A-Nurse" program which provides education and support to
promote optimal health and wellness as a pathway to healthy aging.
We continued our efforts to support caregivers in their essential role of helping older
adults age in place and remain in their homes in the community. We held several
"Caregiver Circle" groups, offered a program on "Caregiver Transitions", began hosting
a monthly evening Dementia Caregiving Support Group, and offered several
informational programs about chronic disease management. We also continue to offer
critical support through our Day Center program which provides a safe, welcoming
environment with enriching activities for participants who have health issues and/or
memory impairments.
This year also saw dramatic growth in our transportation program. As the
demographics of our community change and the number of our seniors over the age of
eighty has grown, the demand for assistance with transportation has grown likewise.
Transportation has become one of the most critical services we provide to older adults
and disabled residents of our community. We applied for and received a grant from
Elder Services to help improve the coordination of our transportation program and in
2015 we provided more than 6,000 rides on our bus for trips to local merchants, grocery
shopping, local errands, Orleans medical appointments, support groups, senior center
activities, and other local activities. We also managed a network of dedicated FISH
volunteers (Friends In Service Helping) to transport seniors to medical appointments as
far away as Hyannis and they provided more than 175 rides to help their neighbors in
need.
We worked this year to continue our efforts 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 Hebrew Senior Life to present a program on
"Balance and the Brain", our work with Spaulding to present "Optimizing Life with
Parkinson's", the Friends of the OCOA on "Tapas & Tunes" which celebrated National
Senior Center Month, as well as our work with the Visiting Nurses Association,
Sustainable Cape, AARP Tax Aide Program, and the Orleans Citizens Forum.
Our team has challenged ourselves this year to increase our communication,
collaboration and consistency to improve the quality and efficiency of our services. We
have begun to look at ways to improve and sustain our transportation, supportive adult
day care, and LGBT seniors programs.
None of the work we do would happen without the incredible support of our volunteers,
board members, community partnerships and those we serve. I am thankful to work
with such a wonderful group of people who care about our work and the people we
serve, and we are appreciative of the opportunities we have to have a positive impact
on our community.

Judi Wilson, Executive Director, Orleans Council on Aging

CULTURAL COUNCIL
The Orleans Cultural Council seeks to further the cultural development of Orleans by
promoting the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences. Funds received through an
annual grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council are appropriated locally by the
Orleans Cultural Council to individual projects that are made available to the general
public and to those that will improve the quality of life in the Orleans community.
The MCC grant allocation to Orleans for the year 2015-2016 was $4,400. Twenty local
grant applications were received for consideration, totaling $14, 654. The Orleans
Cultural Council (OCC) selected 13 projects for local grant awards: MA Audubon 5th
Gr. Birding Study, Nauset Regional Middle School Visiting Mexican Artists, ARTS DAY,
and a collaborative Environmental Sculpture Project, Meeting House Chamber Music
Summer Series, Two Snow Library Reading Programs, Cape Cod Children's Place
Family Fun Fair/Music, Orleans Historical Society Early Women of Orleans, The
Academy of Performing Arts Student Scholarships, Regional Classical Music Open
Mike Series, Regional Schools Recycling Program, Alzheimer Multi-generational
Chorus/Laurel School.
OCC facilitated and maintained the continuation of Public Interest Educational Displays
and Cultural Exhibits in Town Hall and at the Town's Old Firehouse on Main St.
Collaborating with individual artists and non-profit organizations, the OCC featured The
Orleans Historical Society, Nauset Neighbors, The Regional Schools Student Art
Exhibit, Orleans Conservation Dept./ Boland Pond and Putnam Farm, Streetscape
Design Planning, either proposed and/or approved current projects, Center for Coastal
Studies Whale Photography and that of 3 well-known Whale and Nature photographers,
The Public Art Whale Sculpture project, and the Watershed, Water Testing, and Orleans
Pond Studies of the Orleans Pond Coalition.
To celebrate National Youth Art Month in March, the annual Youth Art Exhibit at Town
Hall, featured 90 student works from 3 regional schools in all media, ceramics, jewelry
and Fashion Design. A public reception was held for the student artists, teachers, their
families and the regional community.
Promoting Public Art through a grant to the Town of Orleans from the Cape Cod
Chamber of Commerce, OCC took an active step into the community to play a
collaborative key role in the implementation of the first commissioned sculpture in
Orleans, from site proposal to the installation ceremony in June of '15. As a result, the
OCC initiated a Public Art Initiative with the vision of a second sculpture to complete
Theresa's Way in 2016. Partnering with Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, the OCC began
a fundraising project, with a raffle of the model of the whale sculpture and the work of 2
well-known photographers. At the $3000 mark, the OCC Public Art Initiative will
continue fundraising efforts in 2016.
The OCC was allocated $2,000 through a Town Warrant supported by the Board of
Selectmen and the Citizens of Orleans. With appreciation, the funds will be used for
additional grants or projects in the arts, humanities, or sciences, that will specifically
benefit the Orleans Community.
The OCC continues to participate in Town and Regional organizations, is represented
on the Orleans Cultural District Task Force, and works in collaboration with the Cape
112
Cod and Orleans Chamber of Commerce, the Orleans improvements Assoc., and the
Historical Markers Committee. The OCC met with MCC Director, Meri Jenkins, in
November to explore the role of the Cultural Council and the newly designated Orleans
Cultural District. In December, OCC was represented at the first Cape Cod Regional
Meeting of Cultural Councils and Cultural Districts sponsored by the Cape Cod
Chamber of Commerce. The objective was to share information and expand efforts to
bring a regional collaborative approach to support the arts and culture by using the
Chamber's marketing strategies and program development, to enhance the efforts of
each town and village towards a growing creative economy.
The OCC received a $1,000 grant in appreciation for their work in the community, from
the Kline Foundation, for the purpose of Education and Promotion of the Arts and
Culture in Orleans.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND NATURAL RESOURCES FACILITY
FEASIBILITY STUDY COMMITTEE
In January of 2015, the Board of Selectman appointed the Department of Public Works
and Natural Resources Facility Feasibility Study Committee to complete a feasibility
study for a new building and its related support functions to be located on the eastern
portion of the former Town Sanitary Landfill with access from Giddiah Hill Road.
The membership of the Committee consists of 5 voting members; Peter Coneen,
Chairman, Mike Smith, Clerk, Dan Coursey, Hank Spaddaccia, and Buddy Young, with
the Director of Public Works and the Town Administrator as ex-officio, non-voting
members. Jon Fuller serves as our liaison to the Board of Selectmen. The Town's
Building and Facilities Manager has also been included to serve as the Town's Project
Manager.
The campus is to include administration offices, maintenance, repair, and storage facilities
for the recently reorganized DPW/ NR departments which include the current and future
Highway, Water, Harbormaster, Parks and Beaches, Tree, and Transfer Station
functions. The Town Fuel Depot which is currently located at the Police Station and not
part of the Committee's charge will also be located at this site.
Early in the site assessment process questions arose regarding the ability of the soils at
the reclaimed landfill site to structurally support a building and the presence of potential
environmental contamination led the Committee to request that an article be submitted at
Town Meeting to authorize soils testing and preliminary building and site planning, to
clarify these issues. The Article, which was subsequently approved, lead to a revision of
the official charge to the Committee to include assisting the Town Administrator to
interview and select the services of an architect 1 engineering firm. The Engineering firm
Weston and Sampson was selected based on their extensive experience with many other
DPWfacilities in the region, their familiarity with Orleans, and the previous work they
have performed for the Town.
113
The Committee, per the revised charge, is continuing to diligently work with the engineer
and architect to develop a preliminary design within the $12,000,000 budget included in
FY18 Capital Improvements Plan. The Committee is scheduled to present a final report
including the Peer Review of the project by an independent consulting architect to the
Selectman and if approved, prepare an article for the May 2016 Town Meeting for final
project design funding.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
Orleans Emergency Management is accomplished through the joint management of the
command staffs of both the fire and police departments, and the cooperation of all town
agencies and elected boards.
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, state resources, and in some cases federal government
assets.
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 the use of 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.
The communication between town agencies during an emergency is essential for the
safe coordination of efforts, our focus is to ensure all primary and back up radio systems
are able to provide this important function.
Winter 2015 was one of the worst we have experienced in recent history, the
coordination of town agencies and the emergency management component went
beyond the expectations of all involved. A true team effort resulted in the roads being
cleared and public safety efforts provided during all the weather events.
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 the Police or Fire
Departments.
Once again, I 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 storms and other events. It is a community effort to keep us all safe.
Respectfully submitted,
Chief Anthony Pike, Orleans Emergency Manager

FINANCE COMMITTEE
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 issues having material financial impact on the
Town and its taxpayers.
In fulfilling its obligations under the Charter, the Committee conducted Fiscal Year 2016
budget reviews in meetings and consultations with Town officials. The Finance
Committee met jointly with the Board of Selectmen numerous times between January
and the May Town Meeting to jointly review the most significant sections of the budget.
In addition to Charter-mandated public hearings for the Town Budget and the Capital
Improvement Plan, the two bodies 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 2016 proposed budgets.
These collaborative budget review meetings provide the members of the Finance
Committee and the Board the benefit of each others' knowledge and experience in
evaluating departmental budgets and eliminate duplication of the time Town and school
officials are required to devote to this process.
In an effort to improve its understanding of initiatives and activities in the Town that may
have a significant financial impact on the Town and its budget, the Committee instituted
a policy of inviting a guest to each of its meetings beginning in September. From
September to December, the Committee met with representatives of Town boards,
committees, and departments whose actions have fiscal implications for the Town, as
well as with private citizens who have had an active input into such important areas of
Town activity as wastewater spending. The Finance Committee Chair serves as the
Committee's liaison to the Water Quality Advisory Panel convened by the Board of
Selectmen to engage Town stakeholders in the development of a water quality
management plan for Orleans. Members of the Committee also serve as liaisons to the
Orleans Police Station Building Committee and the Orleans Department of Public Works
Building Committee. From September through December, the Committee met monthly
with the Chairman of the Police Station Building Committee to receive updates and ask
questions on the progress of the new police station, and the Committee made a number
of recommendations to the Police Station Building Committee.
In September, the Committee met with State House Representative Sarah Peake to
discuss the Commonwealth's priorities with respect to towns and the level of legislative
and financial support the Town can expect for major initiatives such as wastewater. In
October, the Committee held a meeting with the Town finance director to discuss the
potential impact on the Town's long-term finances of its OPEB liabilities and made a
recommendation to the Board of Selectmen on how to approach this issue. In
November, the Committee met with representatives of the Cape Cod Village, which has
received funding from the CPC, to assess the project's potential impact on Town
finances and the possibility of further CPC funding. The Committee also met with the
Town's financial advisor on its solar energy offtake agreements and made
recommendations to the Board of Selectmen on proposed offtake volumes for this
agreement.
115
The Finance Committee's annual report, published in the 2015 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: recognizing the
need for significant capital expenditures and maximizing the efficiency of that capital
spending; changing the way the Town compiles its annual budgets to maximize savings
and efficiencies, accelerating payments against the Town's OPEB liabilities; exploring
opportunities to apply technology solutions to government operations and services
delivery; and establishing fair fees for a number of Town services to cover 100% of the
direct costs of providing such 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 fifth 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 2016
budget requests.
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.

Joshua Larson, Chairman
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.
116
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
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.
Respectfully submitted,
Anthony Pike, Fire Chief

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION COMMITTEE
We are pleased to provide this annual message on behalf of the Orleans Fourth of July
Celebration Committee.
"The Fireworks went off on Sunday, July 5t" at dusk, at Rock Harbor. A large,
enthusiastic crowd witnessed the fabulous fireworks."
A special "Thank You" to The Friends of the Fourth of July for again privately
fundraising to cover the cost of ALL of the Fireworks. The Fireworks would not
happen without your support and the support of all of the donors.
The 4t" of July Parade stepped off from Eldredge Park Way at 10:00 am Saturday, July
4, 2015. This year's Parade had a great crowd and the weather cooperated. The
theme of the parade was Surf's Up, Ride the Wave of Freedom created by Ellie
Stewart, a student at the Orleans Elementary School. Ellie's slogan won 1St Prize in the
Orleans Elementary School Parade Theme Contest. Ellie, and friends, had a great time
riding in a pedicab in the parade.
Our Grand Marshal this year was Peter Howerton. Pete was a member of the
Orleans 4t" of July Parade Committee, and our Parade Marshal for over 10 years. What
a great job with all of those activities, Pete! Pete continues to participate in the parade
118
and fireworks planning along with assisting with the Parade Marshal position. Pete and
some of his family members thoroughly enjoyed riding in the parade this year.
The Parade had some new entrants as well as many old favorites. Sixty plus
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.
2015 Parade Winners — Business, 1St Nauset Marine, 2nd The Farm, 3rd Willy's
Gym. Non-Profits, 1st Nauset Seascouts Ship 72, 2nd Friends of Snow Library, 3rd
Orleans Firebirds. Family Awards, 1St Stewart Family, 2nd Ferraro Family, 3rd RT
Thurston Family. We would love to have more family groups participate. It is a
great time!
"Thank You"to all of the Town departments and businesses that again supported us
with vehicles, drivers, supplies and assistance. Your donations and hard work are
crucial to our Parade's success. A special "Thank You" to the Orleans Chamber of
Commerce for their tremendous assistance and support.
Our Fund Raising Effort: The Fourth of July Committee appreciates that Town
Meeting appropriated up to $8,000 to support the 2015 Parade. To help offset our use
of these funds, we continued this year with, our now annual, group of volunteers walking
along with the Parade, requesting donations. There is also a link on the Town's website
for those who want to send a monetary contribution, directed to the 4t" of July Gift Fund.
We are looking forward to the 2016 Fourth of July activities. The Fireworks will be
displayed over Rock Harbor, at dusk, on Saturday, July 2, 2016 (rain date of
Friday, July 8th). The Parade will step off on Monday, July 4, 2016, at 10:00 am
from Eldredge Park Way.

Ingrid Moyer, Chairperson & Jane Peno, Co-Chairperson
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
The Highway Department is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of
approximately 60 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 trailers. The Highway
Department also provides labor and/or equipment to support activities of the other Dept.
of Public Works' Divisions (Parks, Beaches, Facilities, Water, etc.).
The major projects managed by the department in 2015 include the following-
Drainage-
• Drainage Improvements design is underway on Portanimicut Road and Finlay
Rd.
Safety Improvements:
• The department continued upgrading street signs and warning signs to new
federal standards.
119
Other Projects:
• The Final report of the Roadway Condition Assessment has been submitted
by our Consultant. Software training and presentation is expected in 2016.
• The department completed the GIS-based stormwater inventory program that
will allow the department to better manage and maintain the extensive
inventory of town owned stormwater infrastructure. The inventory will also
allow us to better analyze our water quality issues and begin to target our
next phase of stormwater quality work.
• 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 approximately 1500 catch basins and leaching
pits and drainage piping. The department removed 189 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. 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 537 tons of sand and debris from the roadways
and parking lots in 2015. 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.
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 2015 the department responded to 35 recorded winter storm events, 10 of which
were full plowing events and 7 additional nights of sidewalk and downtown snow
removal. Many of these storms were of long duration requiring extended hours for
treating the roads. Approximately 1,426 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.
In particular, I would like to thank Mr. Mark Budnick our former DPW Manager for the
twelve years of service he gave to the Town of Orleans.
120
Transfer Station:
The Transfer Station is responsible for the management and disposal of the Solid
Waste generated by the Town. Solid Waste and other materials that were collected and
passed through the Transfer Station in 2015 are shown in the following table. Quantities
from 2014 are included for comparison.

In 2015, the Transfer Station also collected and processed: paint (estimated 330
gallons), waste oil (1500 gallons), used oil filters (1 drum), gasoline (660 gallons), and
antifreeze (220 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 2015 (not including sticker
sales): Gate Collections: $71,008, Batteries: $220, Metals: $4,917.
121
In 2015, 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.
Red Oak and White Oak mortality has hit the Cape hard in recent years. In increasingly
alarming numbers we are losing large mature oak trees. The current issue with black
oaks and to a lesser degree the scarlet oaks is the oak gall wasp. The English oaks are
in decline to the disease phytophthora. It appears that trees in general are suffering due
to the accumulative stresses like drought, salt exposure, and increases in caterpillar
activity (particularly the winter moth). In any case the immediate need is to address the
unusual increase in dead and dying trees. Hazardous tree removal will remain the focus
of the Tree Department.
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 10,000 trees have
been assessed and are available on the Orleans GIS for planning and mapping
purposes. We now have the means to utilize the database in the field and use inventory
for integration of a Vegetation Management Plan. 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 18th
consecutive year that we have received this prestigious award.
• Celebrated Arbor Day on April 17th
• This year's Arbor Day was held at the Orleans Middle School. The Orleans
DPW, OPC, OIA, OCP, Ameri-Corp, and the Orleans Conservation Trust
participated in this event. Green Week was developed to encourage student
and teacher participation for outdoor educational opportunities. We created a
new trail system on for passive recreation and outdoor classroom space. At
122
the same time the new Nauset Regional Middle School greenhouse needed
help addressing the lack of egress. This was solved by using donated
materials, grants and local volunteers. There are now new sidewalks, retaining
walls, patios, landscaping, and a work shed.
• The department was awarded an AmeriCorps intern two days a week for one
year. This is the 9t" 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: Boland Pond, Uncle Harvey's
Pond, the Christian Property, and the Putnam property.
• Eversource (formally known as NSTAR) continues to help the Tree
Department with a town wide hazardous tree removal initiative. They have
stepped up their trimming cycle which impacts our effort to maintain roadways.
• AmeriCorps has now worked over 18,000 hours with the Tree Warden.
• The Tree Warden collaborated with the Orleans Improvement Association to
purchase planters and trees for the downtown.
• The Tree Department took the first step in preparing the Hubler property for its
repurposing. This in house effort enabled the town to use it for beach parking
for the first time.
I would like to extend my gratitude to the staff of these departments.

Thomas E. Daley, Director of Public Works &Natural Resources
HISTORICAL COMMISSION
The Commission met seven times in 2015.
The following Public Hearings were held:
•June 8 2015
Public Hearing to discuss demolition of 54 Route 6A, ca.1858, on the Orleans Historic
Inventory, owner the Diocese of Fall River.
Representatives of the Diocese explained the reasons they want to tear down the
house. Besides being in deteriorated condition, the house is now 2.5 feet below the
grade of the road. This is because of construction of the rotary. It is so close to the road
as to be unusable. The OHC determined that this building is not "a preferably preserved
structure" and may be torn down after the one-year delay.
Public Hearing to discuss demolition of 353 South Orleans Road, ca.1815, on the
Orleans Historic Inventory, owner John Sparrow. The demolition permit is for the house
and ell, not the barn. After a site visit, the OHC determined that the house was a
"preferably preserved historic structure" and invoked the one-year demolition delay.
•August 21, 2015
Public Hearing to discuss 193 Main Street, on the Orleans Historic Inventory, owner
Michele and James Dayton. They requested a demolition permit to tear down the ell and
reconstruct it on a new foundation. After a site visit the Commission determined that the
123
condition of the ell and its foundation were very bad and that it was not a "preferably
preserved historic structure". Therefor it may be torn down and rebuilt.
•December 9, 2015
Public Hearing for 136 Barley Neck Road, ca.1770, On Historic Inventory, owned by the
estate of Edna Constance. The realtors Bob Wilkinsen and Allison Beavan requested a
demolition permit for the back ell of this property because of its condition. The
commission made a site visit and determined that the ell was not a "preferably reserved
historic structure" and could be torn down and rebuilt.
Public Hearing for 199 Main Street, ca.1880, on the Historic Inventory, owner Warren
Waugh. The owner requested to tear down the whole house because of its condition.
The Commission made a site visit. Unfortunately this house retained none of its
original features except a stair railing. For this reason the Commission determined that
it is not a "preferably preserved historic structure" and that it may be torn down and
rebuilt. The Commission asked the owners to photograph the interior before the
demolition.
Other Important Business Conducted:
•February 5, 2015
The Commission decided not to seek an eighteen-month demolition delay at this year's
Town Meeting but to leave it at 12 months.
•April 22, 2015
The Commission agreed to present a Preservation Award to Chris Weiler for the work
he did on his mother's house at 260 Tonset Road. Since the Commission has no funds,
the Commissioners pitched in to pay for it and ordered it through the Historical Society.
The Commission met with Jim Wilson from the Old King's Highway Historic District
Administrative Council. He shared information on the history of the District so that the
Orleans Historical Commission can speak against withdrawing from it at Town Hall.
•June 6, 2015
The Commissioners would like to get a process to review buildings that are not being
maintained so that they can stop demolition by neglect. Jim Tyng has written a book on
Nauset Heights. There are 25 houses 100 years old and another 30 to 40 which are
about 75 years old. He told the Commissioners that there was great support for a Local
Historic District. The Commission will put these properties on the list for the preservation
consultant to research.
•August 21, 2015
The Commission has received $90,000 from the CPC to "complete" the Historic
Inventory. The Request for Qualifications will go out soon from the Planning Office.
Ron Petersen and Dorothy Bowmer volunteered to be on the committee to review the
applicants. The Commission reviewed a sample of the historic markers that are to be
placed around town. Ron Petersen did the research on the sites and wrote the
narrative.
•December 9, 2015
The Commission attempted to do a Section 106 Review for the State of Massachusetts
on the plans for two intersections on Main Street. They concluded that they did not have
enough information. Ann Sinclair will talk to Alan McClennen.

HOME CONSORTIUM
The Town of Orleans, together with the other 14 towns on the Cape, participates in the
Barnstable County Home Consortium, which decides on the distribution of funds from
the federal HOME program.
The Consortium's objectives are to increase the number of affordable rental units for
very low and low-income tenants, and to provide homeownership opportunities for low
income, first-time homebuyers.
During the past fiscal year, the HOME Consortium received $404,552 in federal funds,
plus $25,321 of program income. Barnstable County's allocation from the HOME
program has been decreasing over the past several years.
The bulk of last year's funding, $417,082, was spent on housing production, including
334 affordable rental units. Three rental projects with 71 units were completed in
Mashpee, Falmouth and Yarmouth. Four rental projects with 106 units are underway,
one in Provincetown and the others in the Upper or Mid-Cape. Four other projects
totaling 157 rental units received conditional commitments of funds. One of these is in
Wellfleet, the rest are in other areas of the Cape. All these projects combine HOME
funds with other local, state and federal funding programs. The HOME program also
provided $96,955 in loans to assist 12 low-income first-time homebuyers with down-
payments and closing costs on market-rate condos or single-family homes. The HOME
program has operated under the umbrella of the Cape Cod Commission, but during
2015, its supervision was transferred to the Barnstable Department of Social Services.

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; Robert Plausky, Maintenance Supervisor; and Al Fearnley,
Maintenance Assistant for their hard work throughout a changing year. Also the board
would like to thank Judith Hunt for her tireless effort on this committee and others
related to affordable housing. Her 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 15th year.
Sampling of embayments included 20 locations on Cape Cod Bay, Nauset estuary, and
Orleans' portion of Pleasant Bay. Fifty volunteers collected a total of 472 samples on
five sampling days between July and September. The School for Marine Science and
Technology, UMass, Dartmouth (SMAST) also conducted studies of Nauset Inlet to
update flow and nutrient data. Nitrogen from septic systems continues to stress the
marine environment resulting in unhealthy levels of algae growth and low dissolved
oxygen levels particularly in terminal salt ponds and enclosed embayments.
Freshwater lake and pond monitoring is coordinated with the Center for Coastal Studies
and PALS (Pond and Lake Stewardship) project of the Cape Cod Commission and
SMAST. Samples were collected from 16 freshwater ponds in spring and late summer.
Uncle Harvey's Pond was tested for cyanobacteria and posted as toxic by the
Department of Health. Water quality in many ponds continues to decline. Most do not
meet state standards for water clarity and dissolved oxygen during the summer.
126
Citizens are urged to read the fertilizer bylaw and utilize its guidelines for fertilizer use to
reduce impact on waterways.
The Town's Management Plan for Cedar Pond outlines the steps needed to return the
pond to a healthy, low-salinity ecosystem. The dispersal of the double-crested
cormorants that roost on Eversource power lines spanning the pond is a key step to
eliminating a large source of excess nutrients. The Town worked with Eversource,
USDA, and DEP to initiate a dispersal project this summer. Task Force members
monitored the effects of the pyrotechnics on cormorants and other species in the area.
The Task Force continued a study of Boland Pond to determine the sources of nutrients
in stormwater draining into the pond. Sampling will continue. In collaboration with
Orleans Pond Coalition, lessons were presented and an outdoor classroom is planned
for used by middle school students and their science teachers.
Task Force members continue to serve as liaisons to the Water Quality Advisory Panel
which is studying wastewater options for Orleans. Its work will extend through 2016.
A Renter's Guide to the Natural Resources of Orleans, MA published by the Task
Force was circulated widely to summer visitors by the Chamber of Commerce and in
consultation with local real estate offices. The brochure urges visitors to explore
Orleans' natural environment while caring for its fragile resources. Copies are available
at Town Hall. Electronic versions are on the Town and Chamber of Commerce
websites to share with family and friends visiting Orleans.
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, kayak or canoe. If
interested, please leave your contact information with the Planning Department at Town
Hall. (508-240-3700 x435).

MEMORIAL AND VETERANS DAY COMMITTEE
In 2015 the Memorial and Veterans Day committee was established to work with the
American Legion and VFW to ensure proper recognition of these important holidays.
In conjunction with these retired veterans, this newly formed committee works with local
school bands and organizations including the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America.
The general charge of the Committee is to plan, organize and oversee ceremonies and
events honoring our veterans on these holidays. The committee works closely with the
Orleans Police and Fire Departments as well as the Orleans Department of Public
Works to ensure proper resources are in place for a safe celebration. The committee
meets quarterly, with an additional meeting approximately 1 month prior to both
Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Presently, there is one opening for the five person committee.

NAUSET REGIONAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Thanks to the continued support of our communities, Nauset was able to provide
students in Grades 9-12 an iPad to enhance their learning opportunities. The benefits of
the 1:1 technology incudes; increasing student engagement and motivation, improved
access to information and resources, blended learning and flipped classroom
opportunities, collaboration for group projects and accommodations for learners. We
continue to look toward the future in supporting our students with the tools and the
education to ensure success as 21St century thinkers and learners.
Nauset High School is a Level 1 school that continues to attract students from all over
the Cape. The Middle School and the High School ELA, Mathematics and Science and
Technology Engineering scores are well above the state average. Our highly qualified,
well-educated, and dedicated faculty and staff continue to inspire students to reach their
potential. Our varied Program of Studies offers something for everyone. The future
inclusion of an International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12
will only enhance the educational possibilities at Nauset Regional High School. We will
also continue to expand the number of foreign exchange students through the
Educatius International Program.
The Capital Asset Subcommittee, together with the Business Office, continues to do an
outstanding job in completing many capital projects and identifying priority items for
future consideration. A Statement of Interest (SOI) was submitted to the Massachusetts
School Building Authority to consider a major renovation at the High School. We
anticipate hearing in mid-January if Nauset High School is accepted into their program.
These repairs and renovations will extend the life of the school and allow us to meet the
educational requirements of a modern curriculum for our students.
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 app
called CrisisGo, will become part of our ongoing security drills. Parents and School
Committee members will receive notifications in the event of any emergency or crisis
situation.
Our new Superintendent, Tom Conrad, is working diligently to continue excellence in all
our schools. He has been out in the community holding "Superintendent Chats" to
engage parents and staff members in sharing ideas and concerns with him. The
"Superintendent's Spotlight" TV show has been highlighting Central Office personnel
and their important role in the District. He has plans to hold parent forums on various
topics to gather invaluable feedback from stakeholders. Communication and
collaboration is flourishing throughout the District.
Our many musicians, athletes and performers meet with success in their various
competitions time and again. Nauset students are consistently recognized for their
outstanding talents and achievements in athletics and also for fine and applied arts.
The Greenhouse Learning Lab at Nauset Middle School is in full swing with students
experimenting with seed germination in different types of soil. A very successful sale of
geraniums in May showcased student's green thumbs! Math, Science, Art, and English
have been incorporated into the Greenhouse curriculum for students in all Grade levels.
Stop by the Orleans Winter Farmers' Market and check out the student table with items
for sale.

Nauset continues to remain focused on the success of each student and committed to
the motto, "Every Child Matters."

OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
In 2015, the Open Space Committee completed the update of the Open Space portion
of the Town's Conservation, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (CROS Plan.) The
Committee began the process of updating the list of priority properties for
Open Space consideration. This will be completed in 2016.
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. In 2015 the
members of the Personnel Advisory Board were Kenneth Rowell, Kevin Galligan, and
Rolf Soderstrom.
The Board held a public hearing at 3:00 p.m. on April 29, 2015 to review proposed
amendments to the Personnel Bylaw, specifically a 2 percent cost of living wage
increase for non-union employees covered under the Bylaw, and the addition of a new
position, Buildings and Facilities Maintenance Technician, to Classification Plan A, as
part of a department reorganization. The amendments were presented to the voters as
Article 30 in the May 11 Annual Meeting warrant. The Board voted 2-0-0 to recommend
the proposed amendments to Town Meeting. The Board also met on June 26 to
discuss recommendations to the Board of Selectmen with regard to employee
recognition policies, and reviewed new seasonal beach job descriptions and the first
draft of a revised classification/compensation plan for seasonal employees.

PLEASANT BAY ALLIANCE
The Pleasant Bay Alliance (www.pleasantbay.org) 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 safe public enjoyment of the
Bay. Highlights from 2015 are listed below:
The Pleasant Bay Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Program completed its 16th
monitoring season. Trained volunteers collected samples at 24 bay-wide sites. Data
from the monitoring program are used to guide local and regional nutrient management
planning. The Alliance selected the Cadmus Group to conduct a statistical trend
analysis of multi-year water quality data, and this analysis was presented at a forum in
July.
The Alliance continued to spearhead a watershed approach to nutrient management.
Wright-Pierce was selected by the Alliance to assess the watershed-wide effects
associated with all four town's nutrient management plans, and to coordinate this
information with the regional 208 Plan Update. When completed, this effort is expected
136
to identify opportunities to increase cost effectiveness and foster regional cooperation
among efforts to reduce nutrient loads in Pleasant Bay.
The Alliance continued development of guidelines for managing shoreline erosion, with
the release of draft guidelines expected in 2016. The Alliance also continued tide level
monitoring in concert with the Center for Coastal Studies, and issued a report analyzing
multi-year tide data. Late this year a Request for Proposals was released to assess the
effects of Sea Level Rise on the barrier beach and inner shoreline of Pleasant Bay. This
project will be undertaken in 2016. Also in 2016, the Alliance also is planning the
placement of an acoustic receiver to monitor tagged shark activity.
At the request of local officials, the Alliance also provided comment on a range of
projects concerning consistency with the Resource Management Plan, including the
Muddy Creek Restoration Bridge, Pleasant Bay Dredging, and Ryder's Cove Landing
access plans, as well as private projects,
The Alliance wishes to thank the citizens of Orleans for your ongoing support.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
On behalf of the entire department, I'm pleased to present this year's Annual Report for
the calendar year 2015. The department continues to strive to provide the highest level
of professional police services for residents and visitors alike. Although 2015 brought
significant challenges, police department personnel responded remarkably well . I would
like to express my sincerest gratitude to our entire department for their exceptional
performance. A job well done!
We clearly understand that we need the support of the community to be successful. Our
policing philosophy has a strong emphasis on community engagement. The
department's communications strategy encompasses the use of several media
platforms to reach our citizens. We also recognize the importance of face to face
interaction. We held numerous events in 2015 covering topics such as bicycle safety,
internet safety, fraud awareness, and our annual block party. We also increased the
frequency of uniformed foot patrols, which have proven to be an excellent opportunity
for citizens and business owners to meet officers and cultivate positive relationships.
The Department's five year strategic plan continues to guide our organization. The
plan's seventy-nine (79) pages consist of five (5) strategic goals, seventeen (17) plan
objectives, and fifty-nine (59) strategies with tactical action plans. Although the plan
addresses a variety of issues, the main plan themes are community engagement,
accountability, and resource planning. Currently, we are in the process of evaluating our
progress and updating or developing new strategic goals. The department's strategic
planning team has done an outstanding job, and I applaud their commitment to this
critical process.

The Town of Orleans remains a safe community with a low crime rate. The
department's 2015 crime statistics remain consistent with previous years. Officers
responded to 15,049 calls for service; 123 major motor vehicle crashes resulting in
injury or property damage over $1,000; 310 arrests or criminal applications, and 3,957
traffic stops. See the detailed activity breakdown at the end of this report.
The Orleans Police Department is a State Accredited agency that operates at the
highest professional level. With that said, sound policies, procedures, and practices are
only as good as the employees who follow them. If it were not for the unwavering
dedication of the men and women of this department, we would not be successful. The
department's motto is "Honored to Serve." We take great pride in serving this wonderful
community and truly value the support we receive from its citizens.

POLICE STATION BUILDING COMMITTEE
Project Overview:
A new Police Station Facility is planned to be built on the existing site at the corner of
Route 28 and Eldredge Park Way. Pending a favorable vote for approval of construction
funding at the May 9, 2016 Town Meeting and at the polls on May 17, 2016, Police
Operations will move in September 2016 to temporary facilities in a trailer complex
which will be assembled on the grass area adjacent to the Town Hall Annex (former
Legion building) on East Main Street. Occupancy of the new building is targeted for the
second half of 2017.
2015 Activities
Design funding in the amount of$670,000 was approved in May 2015. Pomroy
Associates Project Manager and Kaestle Boos Architects were engaged to assist the
Building Committee with the project. A site plan, building renderings and floor plans
were developed for a one story main building and an out-building to be used for storage.
These initial plans were presented to a gathering arranged by the Orleans Citizens
Forum at the Council on Aging on October 1, 2015 and to a Public Hearing at Town Hall
October 3, 2015. An informal review session was held with the Architectural Review
Committee — a formal review will be held early in 2016 as the design nears completion.
The plans were very favorably received at all three sessions.
As of this writing the following has been accomplished / planned:
• The Design Team working with Chief MacDonald and his staff has essentially
completed the floor plan
• The exterior look of the building is complete, pending final selection of color and
finish as the design nears completion
• The siting of the buildings on the property is complete and favorable action was
taken by the:
o Site Plan Review Committee (pending items to be addressed in final plans)
o Board of Health (pending review of final septic design)
o Zoning Board of Appeals
• As a result of borings which have been taken, it has been determined that a
portion of the site was filled in over the years with materials which are not
suitable for supporting the new structures. A plan, along with cost implications, is
being developed to address this situation.
• The Police Station site contains the town's Fuel Depot and the Harbormaster
building which will be decommissioned and demolished. Both of these functions
will be moved off the current site to other town-owned locations.
• Design Documents went to Cost Estimators in December 2015. Upward pressure
on labor and materials costs is being observed as conditions in Eastern
Massachusetts overtax the construction market. This is contributing to rising cost
estimates. Your Building Committee is involved in an intense evaluation of the
project to realize savings wherever practical, without compromising the
functionality, durability or appearance of the building.

RENEWABLE ENERGY COMMITTEE
The Orleans Capped Landfill Solar PV installation was completed in late August
This is a 574 KW(DC) facility and is expected to produce about 750,000 kWh annually.
The town began receiving energy credits in late summer.
OREC met with various Solar Photovoltaic developers during the year, to further our
knowledge of the industry and to pre-qualify the list of developers. These developers
included Borrego Solar, My Generation Energy, Blue Wave Capital and CVEC. The
responses to our RFP were evaluated and Borrego was chosen as the preferred
developer.
During the year there was much discussion regarding the number of Net Metering
Credits (NMC) to sign up for in the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Inputs were
received from Fincom, OREC, the BOS, Borrego Solar and Birchtree Capital (an energy
consultant). The current MA law establishes guidelines for use by the "offtakers" in
calculating the number of NMC to sign up for. OREC started by taking an "annual
average" of our actual energy usage (kWh) over the past 5 years and subtracting the
amount of energy expected from the capped landfill for the year. We then use 90% of
this figure for the number of NMC that we will sign up for.
Earned credits are then applied to our current bills on a monthly basis to reduce our
electrical energy expenses. If our credits exceed our expenses, we can transfer the
excess credits to pay for future expenses, since the credits do not expire. As of the
writing of this report, the town has signed a Letter of Intent
(LOI) with Borrego Solar and we are currently reviewing their PPA. We expect to begin
receiving energy credits around midyear 2016.
The capital plan for Orleans involves three major "proposed "projects, which will impact
the electrical energy usage for the town in the future. OREC will be monitoring these
plans and studying the available sources of energy that may be required as we move
forward.
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.
Many thanks to Jon Fuller, as our Iiason, for his guidance throughout the year.
We have an experienced and active group of members on our committee and hope to
provide the town with qualified energy solutions in the coming years.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim Hungerford, Chairman

SHELLFISH & HARBORMASTER DEPARTMENT
The Shellfish & Harbormaster Department is responsible for the oversight of virtually all
activities around the town's shoreline and waterways. The Department consists of three
full time employees and two seasonal patrol boat operators. Our work includes such
activities as: issuance of mooring permits, maintaining mooring waiting lists, issuance of
Rock Harbor dockage agreements, issuance of commercial shellfish licenses, natural
resource management and planning, private aquaculture management, maintenance of
town landings, dock and pier repair and construction, shellfish propagation, setting and
hauling of aids to navigation, vessel pump-out service, marine animal rescue, herring
run maintenance and restoration, marine rescue, emergency towing and enforcement of
all federal, state, and local laws, bylaws and regulations governing boating and shell-
fishing.
Specific projects for the year were as follows:
Shellfish Propagation Program. During 2015, our Department planted 575,000 quahogs
in the Nauset and Pleasant Bay estuaries. The Department also reared and over-
wintered 67,000 oysters that were received through the Barnstable County Shellfish
Propagation Grant Program. 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 late summer. Additionally, approximately
30,000 oysters were reared in the up-weller and set to over-winter with planting
scheduled for summer Of 2016.
Facility Improvements. In the spring of 2015, the Rock Harbor dredging project was
completed.
I would like to express my sincerest thanks to those residents and town employees who
so greatly assisted us during 2015. 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 DPW Superintendent Frank
Nichols and their staff for their constant help and support in our effort to keep the
shoreline and waterways of Orleans safe and sound. I would also like to thank the
members of the Shellfish and Waterways Advisory Committee for their dedicated efforts
at preserving the marine resources of the town. I wish to express as always my
gratitude to my assistants, Gardner Jamieson and Greg Normandy, for their hard work
and overall commendable performance in their respective positions.

SHELLFISH AND WATERWAYS IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
In its advisory capacity, the committee serves as a resource to the Town Administrator,
Board of Selectmen (BOS), Natural Resource Manager-Harbormaster/Shellfish
Constable and other town boards and committees, for issues related to preserving,
protecting, managing, and enhancing our natural resources such as finfish, shellfish and
public waterways.
The Committee continued its active support of the Orleans Pilgrim Lake Volunteer
Herring Count Program, now in its 8th year, and we thank the over 60 volunteer herring
counters for their efforts and continued dedication to this important monitoring effort. A
total of 497 counts were conducted by volunteers over 61 days (average 8.1
counts/day) between April 1 and May 31. Based on an actual total count of 420 herring,
the MA State Division of Fisheries, Diadromous Fisheries Biology & Management
Program calculated that the estimated run size for 2015 was 4245 herring (+/-2638).
This is a slight increase over 2014, and one of the few runs in MA that showed an
increase this year. Annual herring count totals continue to show a gradual increase
since the count program began in 2008.
The Committee continued to support the Orleans Pond Coalition's Oyster Up-weller
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 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. Discussions included, but were not limited to; resource
management efforts for Cedar Pond and the Cedar Pond Herring Run, sharks/public
safety, boat access and parking at town landings, Rock Harbor dredging, Nauset Spit
and Inlet (dredging feasibility study and access), the Nauset Beach Conservation Plan,
ocean acidification, shellfish resources, diseases, and propagation, and Meetinghouse
Pond swimming lessons. The Committee also began a comprehensive review of the
144
existing Town Waterways Bylaw. In addition, several Committee members attended the
Annual Meeting for the River Herring Network, and continued to serve as Liaisons on
the Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel.
Respectfully submitted,
Judith Scanlon, Chairwoman
SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE
The committee provides guidance on development proposals to improve design and
assist developers in the understanding of the local permitting process. In 2015, sixteen
meetings were held. There were a total of fifteen Informal Site Plan Reviews and five
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
This has been a challenging year for Snow Library due to staff shortages, but a
successful year because of staff flexibility and generosity, as well as the type and
number of programs offered.
STAFF: The past year saw significant staffing challenges at Snow Library. We were
without the services of an Assistant Director for over three quarters of the year, and still
are in the process of recruiting a new one. Our beloved Principal Clerk, Tom Michels,
died suddenly in early April. We had a brief replacement but for a quarter of the year
were without a Principal Clerk, and one still needs to be hired. Tom Harper, Library
Assistant, retired this summer. We were without the services of a Library Assistant and
a Custodian for 2 months, and happily, now both of those positions have been filled.
The Trustees sincerely thank the library staff for their generosity and flexibility in filling in
as best as possible during these staff vacancies. The staff at Snow Library is well
known to the public for their devotion, warmth, knowledge, and helpfulness.
BUILDING: Our 64 year old building is well into showing its age. This past January the
septic system was brought up to appropriate standards. The Library continues to have
ongoing concerns with ceiling tiles getting filled with water from various leaks, collapsing
and posing a danger to patrons and staff. We are especially grateful to Ron Collins for
being quick to respond to library building problems and with handling repairs and
replacements. We were fortunate this past April to have the carpeting replaced around
the circulating desk in an efficient, professional manner. In 2016 we are anticipating the
replacement of the hot water boiler and heater, and attention given to the cooling
system. The physical plant is aging quickly and the Facilities Advisory Committee is
exploring plans for upgrades.
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES: Snow Library continues to shine as the Cultural Center
and Intellectual of Orleans. Programs this past year included the winter Saturday music
145
series funded by the Rowena Myers Trust; and the summer music series on
Wednesday evenings, sponsored by the Friends of Snow Library. In addition, The
Brotherton Trust funds educational speakers and cultural programs. We are especially
grateful to the Friends of Snow Library who sponsor Lifetime Learning programs in the
fall and winter, which provide over 15 different programs each term and over 1,000
attendees. Of particular interest this fall were programs on The Great American
Songbook, Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, Gallery Hopping, and New Internet
Technology. In February, celebrating Black History Month, there was a particularly
riveting program called "Yours for Humanity-Abby," a one-woman show about
Abolitionist Abby Kelly Foster. Library sponsored programs are always well attended.
Ann Foster, Youth Services Librarian, continues to bring outstanding programs for
children and youth. Babies First Year program is continuing to build. Mystery Story
Walks are a favorite. In addition, Ms. Foster plans special programs for summer, school
vacations and winter break. She is continuing to build a close relationship with the
Orleans Elementary School librarian and to participate in joint OES and Snow Library
programs. One School-One Book at OES consists of free books purchased for students
by the Friends of Snow Library, and library staff participates in the discussions. The
Fourth grade class at OES participates in an Art Program sponsored by Snow Library
and the Cape Cod Museum of Art, with paintings hosted at an art show in the Marion
Craine Gallery Room.
The requests from independent authors wishing to hold a reading of their latest books is
increasing as has the requests from community organizations to use the library space
for a public meeting. Room space has become a serious challenge over the past few
years as the library sponsors many of its own programs along with Lifetime Learning
programs, leaving few hours open for use by community organizations. The Marion
Crane Gallery continues to host monthly art shows, open to the public, showcasing local
artists. An increasing request for service comes from the public looking for help with
their new electronic devices. Snow Library is fortunate to have several staff trained in
how these electronics function, and generously give instruction.
OTHER STATISTICS: This past year approximately 155,837 people came into the
library for a variety of purposes. Circulation of 159,693 books, CDs, DVDs, audio books
and other materials were borrowed from the library. Snow Library hosted 460 adult
programs with an attendance of 13,990 people. Ann Foster created 125 Children's
Programs, which had an attendance of 1 836. This past year the library purchased 10
new computers through the generosity of the Helen Telfair Revocable Trust.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: The Friends of Snow Library continues to be a most
generous support of Snow Library. This past summer the Friends celebrated their 50th
birthday with a Birthday float at the Fourth of July parade, where they gave away
vouchers to children to redeem for a book at the Saturday Friend's Book Sale. They
also hosted a celebration for the public on the Village Green on July 5th. The Trustees
cannot thank enough the generosity of the Friends in financial donations to purchase
books magazines, museum passes, financial journals, audio books, CDs and DVDs. In
addition, The Friends also purchased a "hearing loop" for the Marion Crane Gallery
Room, so that patrons with hearing loss would hear more clearly at movies and
programs. Their participation in the life of Snow Library make it a richer, more vibrant,
exciting library to visit and to use. The Board of Trustees would also like to recognize
146
donations and gifts given in memory of Leslie Pike, Thomas Michels, Dottie Jean
Colver, Jean Smith, and Ruth Rosen Singer and in honor of Snow Library Staff. We are
grateful to many of the departments of the Town of Orleans, especially to the Parks
Department for keeping the grounds of the Library in excellent condition, and to Alan
McClennen, Selectman and liaison to the Board of Trustees; Myra Suchenicz, Assistant
Town Administrator and Peter van Dyck, Information Systems Manager.
Respectfully submitted,
Sandra M. Rhodes, Chairperson
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Orleans Elementary School continues to be a source of pride for the District as well as
the community. MCAS scores continue to be excellent with percentages of students in
combined Proficient and Advanced levels in Math, ELA and Science &
Technology/Engineering surpassing the state-wide percentages. Technology continues
to be integrated into instruction and student keyboarding and technical instruction has
been expanded.
The safety and security project initiated in 2014 has been completed. The office has
been remodeled to accommodate the new entrance which provides a transition window
inside the vestibule for better visitor identification. A feasibility study and schematic
design for window replacement has been completed and plans are in place to complete
the project during the summer of 2016. We thank Ron Collins for all his efforts with the
basketball court resurfacing and for assisting with the office project.
Community partnerships are welcomed and encouraged at Orleans Elementary School.
Many local businesses, artists, authors, illustrators, community members and families
continue to donate their time and funds to support the students with hands-on learning
opportunities. Education on Internet and cell phone safety was conducted by the
Orleans Police Sergeant Andrew McLaughlin to Fifth Grade students and parents. The
yearly tradition of Fifth Graders dining at the Captain Linnell House is always a highlight
and we thank Shelly and Bill Conway for their very generous invitation.
Nauset High School and Nauset Middle School students continue to achieve
outstanding MCAS scores. Student growth is evident in all areas and this can be
attributed to our dedicated teaching staff and their tireless efforts to help students reach
their potential and beyond. This year Nauset High School deployed new iPads to all
students in its freshmen class and expanded that initiative to the all other grade levels
this past fall. Staff and students use the device for creating, communicating,
collaborating, organizing, researching, and problem-solving. Embedding technology into
core curriculum in all subjects is an attainable goal.
Nauset High School has submitted a Statement of Interest, SOI, to the Massachusetts
School Building Authority to assist with some very substantial needs at the facility. The
Capital Asset Subcommittee, working with the Administration, has met regularly to
address and prioritize the needs going forward.
I am pleased to tell you that Nauset Regional High School is in the consideration phase
to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. The IB Diploma
147
Programme will offer further opportunities for students in Grades 11 and 12. Eight
teachers have been identified and will be trained in this exciting new program, if
accepted into the program.
At Nauset Middle School the Summer Science and Technology Institute completed its
second year with 42 students participating. Students learned about the importance of
clean water for food and fishing, enjoyed hands-on experience building and programing
robots and tested water quality in various ponds, cooked food from fresh produce and
built air conditioners with recycled goods. Mandarin Chinese classes are now being
offered at the Middle School to 7t" and 8t" grade students.
Subcommittees have been established for Bus Transportation and Renewable Energy
to look at viable ways to save money for our citizens. Quarterly meetings have been
scheduled with Town Administrators and Accounting Managers that are productive in
keeping our Towns updated on our schools. A Substance Abuse Task Force has also
been established and will meet regularly to explore ways our schools can help with this
very real issue. I wish to thank School Committee members and community members
who are donating their time and efforts as members of these committees.
In my first year as Superintendent, I am looking at all systems and looking for ways we
can improve, never staying still, but moving forward with new visions and goals. In my
decision making process for any major change, I will reach out to all stakeholders as
their input is invaluable. I thank the School Committees, the parents and the community
for their unwavering support for education in our communities. We are so grateful for all
the support and assistance we receive from so many individuals and community groups.
I am honored and privileged to be the Superintendent of the Nauset Public Schools and
am committed to continued excellence in our schools.
My door is always open and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas M. Conrad, Superintendent of Schools
VETERANS' GRAVES OFFICER
During 2015 the Veterans grave flags were maintained and a new flag was placed on
each grave in the beginning of May for Memorial Day by Howard H Kucks assisted by
five Orleans residents.
As we enter the new year all of the Veterans graves have had their flags inspected and
will be monitored during the winter and spring season. Repairs and replacements will be
made as necessary as the winter continues on to spring. There were four new bronze
grave markers and flags placed on new graves this past year. The cemetery office
keeps track of which graves are eligible to receive a marker and flag. The family of the
deceased is asked to provide a copy of the veterans discharge paper (DD-214) to merit
a marker and flag. If you are aware of a missing flag or 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 for the
replacement flag.

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 2015. 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 $25,600 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 $1,236,100
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.
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, Robert M. Schultz, Lower Cape Service Officer

WATER DEPARTMENT
The Orleans Water Department is pleased to provide the following report of happenings
for calendar year 2015. 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. Susan Brown gave a presentation of Utility Cloud
uses at the New England Water Works Spring Conference April 2015.
In keeping with the 20-year asset management plan, the Orleans water Department
contracted with J.W. Dubis to replace the existing 6" portion of water main on Tonset
Road with 12" thus creating better fire flows to East Orleans. The department also
contracted with Fall River Electrical for auxiliary power improvements at the wells for
emergency backup.
150
The Board of Water& Sewer Commissioners addressed the following matters in 2015:
• 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 2015 Annual Town Meeting for consideration and approval.
• Made a recommendation to the Board of Selectmen for two 10% water rate
increases to begin with the August 1, 2015 billing and August 1, 2016 billing. They
further recommended all necessary future rate increases sufficient enough to fully
establish and maintain stabilization funds for membrane replacement and water tank
painting as proposed in the 20-year Asset Management Plan. The Board of
Selectmen subsequently approved a 7% rate increase on March 6, 2015.
• 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.
• Began discussions with the Board of Selectmen to potentially implement a cellular
water meter reading system which would reduce the amount of water wasted due to
leaks, provide better customer service, dramatically reduce manpower required to
read meters and create the ability to potentially offer quarterly billing.
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, the other
town departments and the residents of the Town of Orleans for their assistance,
cooperation and support during the past year.

WATER QUALITY ADVISORY PANEL
On January 20th, the Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel (OWQAP) met with
AECOM, the town's engineering consultant, to review the projects AECOM has
underway as part of our ongoing wastewater planning efforts. AECOM provided an
update on plans to curtail operations at Tri-Town, demonstrated their new financial
planning tool, outlined plans for a monitoring and modeling program, presented their
current thinking on collection, treatment, and disposal efforts, and summarized the
results from the downtown planning effort. AECOM also presented an aggressive
schedule of public meetings to continue to communicate their efforts to the town.
151
Tri-Town Septage Plant Transition
Orleans, along with Eastham and Brewster, has decided to allow Tri-Town's permit to
expire at the end of the year and is moving ahead with plans to demolish the plant next
year. Tri-Town currently plans to accept "donations" through the end of October,
although they may need to curtail operations sooner if any equipment breaks down or if
any of the current staff move on to other jobs. AECOM is also developing plans to
demolish the Tri-Town plant and we expect to ask Town Meeting for funds to complete
the demolition design this year and to demolish the plant next year. Any potential
savings of delaying demolition until a new plant is constructed would have been eroded
by the costs of mothballing the existing plant. Taking into account costs for security,
surveillance, utilities, insurance, and inflation, the selectmen are recommending that we
move ahead with demolishing the plant. AECOM also considered the suggestion that
the plant be used as a transfer station until a new facility comes online. A transfer
station at Tri-Town would not be competitive because the septage marketplace is very
price sensitive. In addition, any continued operations at Tri-Town would require the
three towns to renegotiate and extend the inter-municipal agreement and potentially
delay any other use of the site.
Financial Plan Update
A key goal for this year's effort is to provide a clearer view into what our proposed
wastewater solutions will cost, how we will allocate those costs, and what steps we can
take to keep these solutions as affordable as possible. AECOM demonstrated their new
financial modeling tool which will help Orleans understand and present these costs.
Some of the comparative financial aspects will be presented at the Feb 10th Board of
Selectman meeting. The new financial model takes into account the multiple cost and
revenue components, different categories of users, options to allocate those costs by
user category, and financing options. The financial team will be able to easily
understand the impact of grants or debt-forgiveness options. Most important, it will allow
the town to test and optimize different scenarios and to evaluate the affordability of the
proposed solutions.
The next steps are to work with the engineering teams and incorporate their cost and
revenue estimates into the financial model. The town will then be in a position to
develop much more reliable financial estimates as we move forward.
Developing a Monitoring and Modeling Program
Orleans is taking steps to expand its water quality monitoring programs, both to update
our current water quality goals and to measure the effectiveness of any solutions we
eventually build. Our current goals, the Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) of nitrogen
allowed in our waters, were set by the Massachusetts Estuaries Project years ago.
Since then, the dynamics in Town Cove have changed and the additional break in the
barrier beach now allows more waters into Pleasant Bay. To begin this process,
OWQAP will meet on February 10th to look at our existing monitoring efforts and
conduct a "gap analysis" for moving forward. The goal will be to understand what we've
been doing up to this point, to assess what information is currently available, and to
agree on what we need to do in the future. The result will be a five-year monitoring work
plan defining what monitoring we need to have in place, who is responsible for which
components, and how much they will cost. This overall plan will build on the work now
being done by various agencies and volunteer efforts. It will set a strategy for monitoring
our freshwater ponds as well as our saltwater estuaries.

Collection, Treatment, and Disposal System Update
Considerable work is underway to provide more specific information about the
collection, treatment, and disposal systems called for in last year's consensus
agreement. AECOM has updated maps for both Downtown Orleans and for
Meetinghouse Pond, identifying where it would be appropriate to use conventional
gravity sewers and where it would be more cost effective to use smaller diameter low
pressure solutions, so called "STEP/STEG" designs. The town is also working to identify
sites for effluent from the proposed new plant at the Tri-Town and for the proposed
smaller facility in East Orleans. The town had planned to consider the Exit 12 cloverleaf,
but the Department of Transportation has not allowed Orleans to evaluate the site. The
town is now considering other locations, among them at the edge of the Tri-Town site,
inside the Little Namskaket watershed. In East Orleans, the town has begun to evaluate
the former Hubler property at 223 Beach Road. AECOM has put in place monitoring
wells and taken initial soil borings. Their plans to evaluate the site are continuing, but
the initial results so far are very positive.
Downtown Planning Study Update
On December 15th AECOM conducted a workshop to review the initial results from the
downtown planning study now underway. The study focuses on the downtown and
village center areas and builds upon the 2006 Comprehensive Plan and the 2009
Village Center Plan. AECOM also conducted an economic and market analysis which
highlighted some of the current challenges facing Orleans. In particular, AECOM
highlighted issues with wastewater, the lack of affordable housing, and inadequate
parking. The initial workshop supported vision statements developed in 2006 and 2009,
both of which called for the Orleans Village Center to be a vibrant commercial and
community center for the town. The plan envisions a higher year-round residential
density in Village Center as an essential component of a more vibrant Orleans. To draw
people year round, the workshop attendees called for an anchor facility, such as an
educational institution, movie theatre, or the like. They also called for a variety of
housing to support an emerging workforce and an aging senior population. This ongoing
conversation is being furthered on Feb 4th at both an AECOM public presentation and
an evening workshop.
Alternate Technology Demonstration Projects
Last year's consensus agreement also called for Orleans to launch demonstration
projects to test the effectiveness of non-traditional technologies to reduce nitrogen in
our waterways. The panel broke into separate groups to review possible projects for
aquaculture and shellfish propagation, floating constructed wetlands, and permeable
reactive barriers.
Aquaculture and Shellfish Propagation
The top projects being considered are to increase the amount of oysters and quahogs in
the existing grants at Little Pleasant Bay and to construct an oyster reef demo, possibly
in Quanset Pond. The AECOM team may also consider the option of building a reef at
Pochet; propagating oysters in Arey's Pond; and seeding quahogs in Town Cove, Mill
Pond, and Lower River.
153
Floating Constructed Wetlands
In evaluating sites for floating constructed wetlands, the engineering team considered
possible use conflicts, utilities, ease of access, transferability of results, the ability to
quantify results, land ownership, and the depth of surface water. The team also
eliminated fresh water ponds and large water bodies, at least for the initial
demonstration project. At the top of the list, for an initial pilot program, the team is
considering Lonnie's Pond. They will also consider floating constructed wetlands
locations; such as Quanset Pond, Namequoit River, Pah Wah Pond, and Pocket Neck.
Permeable Reactive Barriers
The AECOM engineers presented an overview of the two PRB technologies being
considered. The alternative is to fill a ditch with mulch or similar material may prove
impractical, due to the evident depth of discharge currently showing.. For example, a
PRB at Main Street and Tonset Road might need to be 50 feet deep. The other
alternative to develop a PRB using injection wells appears to be more appropriate for
Orleans. PRBs will be sited based on suitability, permitting requirements, the ease of
locating monitoring wells, and the potential for removing nitrogen. The top sites being
considered are Main Street at Tonset Road, South Orleans Road at Eldredge Park Way
and Tonset Road, Gibson Road on Town Cove, and at the Town Landfill.
Upcoming Meetings
Wastewater issues appear to be a hot topic in Orleans over the next few weeks:
• On February 4th, from 3 to 4:30, the Orleans Citizen's Forum will host a discussion
of the downtown planning effort at the Orleans Council on Aging;
• Also on February 4th, from 6:30 to 8:30, will be the second workshop for the
downtown planning effort, also at the Orleans Council on Aging. This will be a joint
meeting of the Board of Selectmen, the Planning Board, the Board of Health, the
Water Quality Advisory Panel, the Board of Water & Sewer Commissioners, and the
Architectural Review Committee;
• On February 9th, from 1 to 3 the Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel will meet at
the Orleans Town Hall for a presentation from the Cadmus Group on their Pleasant
Bay Water Quality Data;
• On February 10th, from 8:30 to noon, AECOM will conduct the Water Quality
Monitoring and Modeling Workshop described above. This meeting will also be in
the Orleans Town Hall;
• Also on February 10th, beginning at 6:30, the Board of Selectmen will discuss the
reset plan for Orleans, public-private partnerships, and Todd Thayer's proposed
plans for his 15 acre parcel in downtown Orleans;
• On February 17th, from 8:30 to noon, the Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel
will meet, continuing their plan to meet monthly.

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 16 regular open meetings in 2015 and one special open meeting. A total of
29 applications were submitted. All applications were heard; none were continued to
2016. Of the 25 Special Permit applications heard, 25 were granted. Two applications
combined Special Permit and Variance requests; in one a Special Permit was granted
and the request for Variance withdrawn, and in the other, both a Special Permit and a
Variance were granted. Four requests for Variance were heard; three were granted and
one was denied. There was one demand for constructive approval of an application
which the Board appealed. There were no applications for Comprehensive Permit.
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, Bruce Taub, and Peter Jablon continued as
associate Board members. There were no resignations.
Respectfully submitted,
Michael P. Marnik, Chairman
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 2015, the Task Force developed text for 3 Zoning Bylaw amendments, 2 of which
were approved at the Annual Town Meeting. The Board also worked to analyze
apartment development to determine if an amendment is needed in the future to support
a diverse population and healthy local economy.
Late in the year, 3 additional zoning amendments were developed for public hearing
and possible consideration at the 2016 Annual Town Meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
George Meservey, Chairman
