GENERAL GOVERNMENT REPORTS
BOARD OF SELECTMEN
Fiscal discipline and constraint continues to be a critical policy guide for the Town, with service delivery efficiencies and improved financial management practices being some of the important goals for the Board of Selectmen and Administration. The result has been significant cost savings in many departments, and important management improvements that have resulted in an on-time and unqualified financial Audit for the second year in a row. Some key initiatives include:
The consolidation of the Building Department, Health Department, Historic District Commission, Planning, and Zoning into Planning and Land Use Services (PLUS). Improvements have been realized in staffing, operations and budget costs, and most importantly in problem solving opportunities, reducing permit wait time, and other benefits for citizens engaged in the building process. Overall, removing the overlap between divisions and focusing efficiencies on customer service has reduced the operating budget by 25%. Partnering with several Cape Cod municipalities, Barnstable County and the Cape Cod Commission through a Regional Innovation Challenge Grant award of $500,000 to implement on- line licensing and permitting services. The regional collaboration will establish an automated and regional system for the issuance of municipal permits, licenses and inspection services that will reduce costs and improved customer service. Nantucket is one of five municipalities selected to be part of the initial pilot project. Improvements in department-wide procurement practices, with the Town’s Chief Procurement Officer in consultation with Town Counsel producing a Procurement Manual; increased procurement training for Town departments; and continued focus on training for local businesses to help them engage in bidding on municipal projects. Improved communications between the Town and Airport, and other Enterprise Funds, to enhance the Town Manager’s oversight on budgets, personnel and management practices overall. And, the continued implementation of the recommendations of the “Abrahams Report” (a 2008 review of the Finance Department) in the reorganization of the Finance Department, including implementing important internal controls, particularly over cash.
In our continued focus on protecting and maintaining our island’s fragile water bodies, the Board of Selectmen’s Wastewater Action Plan brought input from Town agencies, residents/taxpayers and other Island organizations through three public stakeholders meetings in the summer of 2011 to review our 2004 Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan in light of new information and findings from the Massachusetts Estuaries Reports. Funding for a CWMP update was approved at the 2012 Annual Town Meeting and is expected to be completed in December of 2013. The update will review the recommendations of the 2004 Plan; review the impact of major island-wide zoning changes that have been approved over the last eight years on the 2004 sewer needs areas; and, focus on evaluating the need for and possible siting of a third wastewater treatment plant to serve the Madaket/Warrens landing needs area. Included in the focus is the health of Long Pond, Sesechacha Pond, and Hummock Pond, as well as the Nantucket and Madaket harbors. The Board has appointed a Sewer Planning Work Group to insure that community input is secured in the process of identifying priorities for sewer extension, and in devising fair and functional financing of the plan. As part of this effort to improve the Island’s water quality and to
Page 19 safeguard capacity at the Surfside plant, the Town also undertook Phase IIB of the Downtown Sewer Rehabilitation Project to rehabilitate the Town’s aging sewer system and to address infiltration/inflow issues.
Consideration of upgrading municipal facilities, particularly the old police station building at 20 South Water Street continues to engage the Board’s attention and discussion. At the Board’s direction, a working group comprised of Town officials and citizens was established to review the options for the building. The Board initially supported an appropriation for renovation/expansion of the building but it was not recommended by the Finance Committee at the 2012 Annual Town Meeting. Subsequently, the Town was informed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency of new flood zone regulations which potentially include 20 South Water and 37 Washington Street that could increase the challenges in renovating and maintaining both properties.
Currently, some renovations have occurred to the 37 Washington Street location, and the Town’s Finance Department moved into the space after the end of Fiscal Year 2012. The Town-owned building at 22 Federal Street, or the Mooney Building, has been vacated and is being prepared for sale as authorized by Town Meeting several years ago. Finally, the long-term goal of moving the fire station to Fairgrounds Road alongside the new police facility remains on the horizon, as are questions regarding the timing of the completion of this move with respect to the growing renovation, repair and accommodation needs of the aging fire station on Pleasant Street.
The Board of Selectmen were struck with our own loss this year with the passing of sitting member Whitey Willauer, who was in the final year of his second three-year term at the time of his passing. Whitey’s energy has been sorely missed by his colleagues on the Board, and his legacy of leadership for Nantucket is something that all of us throughout the community will remember with fondness and appreciation.
I also want to take the opportunity to recognize the hard work of Town Manager Libby Gibson, and to sincerely thank her and our department heads, administrative support staff and all those who work for the Town of Nantucket. Their dedication and hard work keep our special community functional, protected and safe.
Respectfully submitted,
Patty Roggeveen Chairman
HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
On July 22, 2011 Governor Deval Patrick signed several new provisions into Massachusetts General Law Chapter 32b regarding health insurance for municipalities. The key change in this legislation allowed, upon adoption by the Board of Selectmen, the Town’s ability to negotiate changes in health insurance plan design with a Public Employee Committee (PEC) that represented all unions instead of negotiating with each union separately. The Selectmen approved the Town’s recommended plan design changes and negotiations with the PEC were completed in a timely fashion. Upon completing negotiations Blue Cross Blue Shield and Human Resources embarked on an educational program for all employees.
Page 20 Implementation took place on June 1, 2012. Approximately 50 employees moved from Master Medical to the Blue Care Elect (PPO) insurance program with an estimated premium savings of $85,000 per year.
This year the Town negotiated with three unions: ASFCME (Department of Public Works), Fire, and the Laborers’ Union (covers employees across Town departments). Human Resources joined the expanded Town negotiation team. Feedback from all unions and Town team members is that the expanded team and revised approach is more effective.
Human Resources continued to fine tune the benefits administration process in its first full year of management. The Town is self insured and the day to day management requires heavy attention to detail and timelines. The Human Resources team did quite a bit of on-the-job training to improve the Town’s benefit operations and to audit various processes. The second annual Employee Benefits Fair was held in April allowing six weeks of open enrollment so that employees could better understand the changes to health insurance and have time to make decisions.
Staff consolidations continued with activity merging the Marine Department staff into Public Safety, relocating staff for greater efficiency, and the creation of the Planning and Land Use Services (PLUS) Department. The creation of the PLUS Department brought supervision of the Building, Historic District Commission, and Health Departments into the Planning Department. This change was approved by the Nantucket Planning and Economic Develop Commission (NP&EDC) and the Board of Selectmen and was memorialized in a written agreement. PLUS staff formerly at 37 Washington moved to Town offices at 2 Fairgrounds Road.
The Town continues to scrutinize every request to fill vacant positions. This year the Town filled 15 full time, part time, and seasonal positions. All recruiting now passes through the Human Resources Department.

Patricia M. Perris Human Resources Director
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The Information Technology Department is responsible for implementing and maintaining the technology infrastructure and computing environment for the Town of Nantucket. This encompasses all desktop and laptop computers, software and business applications, servers and wireless and fiber network communications equipment. Other responsibilities include the administration and management of the Town’s internal email system, main municipal financial system (MUNIS), Geographic Information System (GIS), Document Management System and the Town’s website, www.nantucket-ma.gov.
Our department’s primary goal is to provide a reliable, secure computing environment that facilitates the use of technology to deliver a more effective and efficient government to the citizens and business community of Nantucket. The following is a summary of the initiatives that were achieved during the 2012 fiscal year.
Page 21 We continued to provide support for the Town’s financial system, MUNIS, completing a number of significant projects. A new version of MUNIS was installed in September of 2011, requiring the installation of a new 64-bit server to accommodate the new software application. This upgrade freed up two servers allowing us to repurpose them for the implementation of a server-based GIS system and to replace our data backup and anti-virus servers. Three new servers were installed to replace existing older systems - the main servers at the Department of Public Works, Our Island Home and a primary network domain controller. Additionally, two software system upgrades of note were implemented in FY 2012 - the Town’s document management system, LaserFiche, and the permitting system, GeoTMS, were upgraded to SQL platforms. In October, 2011, the Town of Nantucket partnered with the Cape Cod Commission and other Cape Cod municipalities to automate the permit, license and inspection process through a regional Innovation Challenge Grant. IT and the permit tracking team have been closely involved with the Cape Cod towns in the RFP and vendor selection process. Training and implementation tasks are now underway with a pilot implementation date set for April, 2013. The Information Technology Strategic Plan presented to the Board of Selectmen in February of 2011 was key in the approval of a new IT Specialist part-time position for FY 2012. Three strong candidates interviewed for the position and it is anticipated that the selected candidate will start in October, 2012. Mobile tablet technology came to Town government in the form of iPads – issued to members of the Board of Selectmen, Historic District Commission and Conservation Commission as well as selected Town employees. This move facilitates the sharing of information and documents digitally rather than using paper and is proving to be popular. In December, 2011 the Town’s IT department moved to their new home at 4 Fairgrounds Road, with all equipment that could be moved making the transition by June 2012. This move freed up space for the relocation of other Town employees to the vacated space. Also, as part of the move, FatPipe was upgraded, enhancing the Town’s Internet connections. The Building, Health and Historic District Commission departments moved to their new home at 2 Fairgrounds Road this year. The Town and Police IT departments worked together to upgrade the network infrastructure in the building to support the additional people and VOIP phone technology for the newly formed PLUS group. Streaming Media and On-Demand Video services will soon be available with the installation and configuration of a new video encoder and the Earth Channel service. This capability will be available for meetings held in the PSF Community Room. Many thanks go to Jeff Tocci, NCTV Director, for his support and assistance in getting this service up and running. The Town and School networks were connected in FY 2012, closing the loop on the fiber optic cabling work that was completed in FY 2011. The Town2K Active Directory domain was decommissioned in FY 2012, completing the Town’s transition to its new domain. In FY 2012, a strong effort was made to refresh the desktop computers in Town inventory. Approximately 32 machines were replaced – 61% of our desktops are now less than 4 years old, compared to 42% in FY 2011. The Human Services Department was relocated to the Council on Aging building on Washington Street. This move set the stage for the consolidation of Council on Aging systems into the Town’s IT support network, with a new server and new desktop PC equipment slated for installation in FY 2013.
Page 22 The Town’s website continues to be one of the primary sources of information for citizens and visitors, logging over 2.7 million hits this past year and averaging over seven thousand hits per day. Town GIS Services had a busy year, with over 49,000 visitors to the on-line GIS website. GIS prepared 68 maps for Annual Town Meeting and fulfilled 142 map requests for other Town departments and the public. Additionally, the Town’s GIS website was upgraded, introducing new tools, faster drawing times, and a more dynamic interface.
In fiscal year 2013, we will focus resources on the Regional Permit Tracking pilot implementation for land use permitting and business licenses. Other projects include the consolidation of the Council on Aging offices into the Town’s network, continued office moves – including the relocation of the Finance Department to 37 Washington Street, and last but not least broadening the Town’s social media presence.
In closing, I would like to extend my appreciation to my staff, Margaret Sprouse, Patrick McGloin and Nathan Porter for all of their hard work throughout the year and to all Town departments for their continued support.

Linda Rhodes Information Systems Administrator
NANTUCKET ISLANDS LAND BANK
The Nantucket Islands Land Bank was established by the voters of Nantucket in 1984 for the purpose of acquiring, holding, and managing important open space resources of the Island for the use and enjoyment of the general public. Funding for the program is derived primarily from a two percent transfer fee levied against most real property transfers within Nantucket County. Fiscal year 2012 yielded $11,426,986 in transfer fee revenue compared to last year’s $13,007,003. The Land Bank acquired 113.7 acres of land at a cost of $11,750,000. The Land Bank now owns 2,821 acres with an additional 426.47 acres permanently protected by conservation restrictions. Since its inception, the Land Bank has spent $230,755,262 on land purchases on the Island.
Five elected Land Bank Commissioners serve without compensation administering the Nantucket Islands Land Bank Act (Chapter 669 of the Acts of 1983, as amended).
Allen B. Reinhard April 2013 John J. Stackpole April 2014 Philip D. Bartlett April 2015 Neil Paterson April 2016 Robert L. Gardner April 2017

LAND ACQUISITIONS – FISCAL YEAR 2012 The Land Bank acquired several new properties adding a total of 113.7 acres to its holdings during fiscal year 2012. A brief description of each new acquisition and its purchase price is listed in chronological order as follows:
Surfside/Weweeder Valley Pursuant to a 2007 Annual Town Meeting vote the Town conveyed 32.3 acres of open land in Surfside to the Land Bank. The property consists of numerous contiguous lots including the old Surfside Railroad bed, vacant lots and paper streets, and forms an open space corridor running from the intersection of Surfside and South Shore Roads all the way down to the ocean in Surfside.
36 Wauwinet Road ($2,800,000) The Land Bank acquired this lovely 3.77 acre property from the Lamb Nominee Trust. The house on the property was removed opening up expansive views out onto Polpis Harbor. The Land Bank continues to develop this property into a destination for the public to enjoy.
2 Nantucket Avenue (Gift) This buildable 0.12 acre property at the corner of Cliff Road and Nantucket Avenue was generously donated by the Stephenson family. The family retained a life-right but the property will remain in its open state until turned over to the Land Bank.
69 and 69R Surfside Road ($250,000) This 1.15 acre property in Miacomet valley directly abuts the Town Greenbelt. Acquisition of the property adds to the scenic integrity of the greenbelt and enhances its habitat value.
260 Milestone Road ($8,700,000) After many years of consideration the Sconset Trust and Land Bank teamed up to purchase 120 acres from the estate of Henry Coffin. The Land Bank purchased 72 acres including the old ‘Sconset Golf Course and the Sconset Trust purchased the remaining 48 acres. This incredibly important acquisition accomplished
Page 25 two major goals of forever preserving this part of the scenic gateway to the village of Sconset and also forever preserving one of the oldest public golf courses in the country. The Land Bank thanks the Sconset Trust for their thoughtful leadership in this milestone acquisition.
Various Paper Road Parcels The Land Bank received several no longer needed road layout parcels from the Town including a portion of Miller Lane between Old South Road and the Airport, and road layout parcels in Madequecham between the Airport and Russell’s Way totaling 4.49 acres.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Property management activities this year included annual projects such as maintenance of walking trails, grassland restoration mowing and burning, brushcutting of heavily overgrown areas, opening up scenic vistas, rare plant monitoring, invasive plant species management, beach clean-up, beach access management, property line delineation, and maintenance/improvement of roadways and parking areas which provide public access to Land Bank and other public properties. In addition to these annual activities the following projects were completed:
1 Wanoma Way Beach Stairs – new beach stairs were installed at this oceanfront property in Tom Nevers. 36 Wauwinet Road – the house and shed were removed from this newly acquired property opening up a beautiful vista out onto Polpis harbor. 30B Washington Street – the cottage on this property was removed opening up views of Nantucket harbor. 27 Quaise Road – the abandoned house on the property was removed, sand was added to the beach, and the property was landscaped for public visitation. Somerset Road Maintenance Facility – the Marble farmhouse was placed on a new foundation and renovated, an addition was added to the Marble barn, and a new 5-bay equipment storage building project was started. Reis/80 Miacomet Road – efforts to eradicate significant amounts of Japanese Knotweed from the property continued. Gaillard/86 Union Street – entered year two of a five-year restoration project to eradicate Phragmites and open up views out onto the Creeks and harbor. Hinsdale Park/50 Old South Road – improvements were made to the trail network and the labyrinth was completed including the installation of benches. Lincoln property/151 Hummock Pond Road – a new trail was created connecting the Mt. Vernon Farms fields with the Land Bank’s Gardner and Millbrook Road properties. Maxcey’s Pond – a new walking trail at the north end of the pond was created. Sanguinetti Property/44 Almanac Pond Road – trail work continued adding additional boardwalk sections over wet areas.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
I am once again incredibly honored to be serving the Island of Nantucket in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. I would like to thank Senator Wolf’s office for their in assistance in achieving Nantucket’s local legislative agenda in addition to the staff of the Land Bank regarding its home rule petitions.
In November of 2011, An Act authorizing the Nantucket Islands Land Bank to dispose of certain land situated in the town of Nantucket was signed into law. Its passage allows the Land Bank to sell the property known as the “Blair House,” situated in historic downtown Nantucket, and to use those funds to acquire new open space. This sale will further the Land Bank’s mission by allowing it to purchase other significant lands.
While not a home rule, An Act to Protect Volunteer Firefighters from Dismissal will positively impact our call and volunteer firefighters. It was signed into law early in the spring of 2012. By preventing call and volunteer firefighters from being fired from their primary jobs for missing work due to responding to a fire, this act provides important new protections and extends the responsibilities of call and volunteer firefighters to include natural disasters, emergency medical response, and hazardous material incidents.
I would like to conclude by thanking the citizens of Nantucket for being and involved and active community. I am incredibly proud to represent our Island and the district as a whole in Boston.
Respectfully submitted,
Tim Madden State Representative Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket

DEPARTMENT OF MUNICIPAL FINANCE
The Department of Municipal Finance includes Assessing, Collections, Treasury, and Finance and Operations. The department operates under the requirements of Massachusetts General Law (MGL) and the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR). An independent firm of Certified Public Accountants audits the Town’s financial statements annually.
Assessing The Assessor’s office personnel collect, compile, and verify data for the valuation of all real estate and personal property, a total of 18,027 residential, commercial, open space, personal property and exempt accounts. In addition to assessing real estate and personal property accounts, the Assessing Department processes property tax abatements, motor vehicle and boat excise taxes and abatements, statutory exemptions, residential exemptions and abutters’ notification lists.
Once every three years, the DOR’s Bureau of Local Assessment does a complete review and certification of the assessment records and values of every community in the Commonwealth. Fiscal Year 2012 assessed values for all property were as follows:
Residential properties $15,502,597,155 Commercial and industrial 1,056,502,692 Industrial 53,625,153 Open Space 21,974,500 Personal property 209,470,691 Total taxable property $16,844,170,191 Exempt property 3,093,784,500 Total property assessed value $19,937,954,691
Total taxable property decreased by $364,259,714 or -2.2% compared to the previous year. Assessment data is available to the public on the Town’s website at http://www.nantucket-ma.gov.
The Town’s levy limit in 2012 was $56,125,599, an increase of $1,976,404 or 3.65%. The increase came from the allowable 2½ % increase, which yielded revenue of 1,353,830 and certified new growth which yielded revenue of $518,585.
Levy Base (previous fiscal year’s Levy Limit) $54,149,195 Add: Amended FY2011 New Growth 3,989 Proposition 2½ 1,353,830 Revenue from Certified New Growth $518,585 Add: FY2012 Operating Override (Mosquito) $100,000 Fiscal Year 2011 Levy Limit (next fiscal year’s $56,125,599 Levy Base) Debt Exclusion 8,709,130 Fiscal Year 2011 Maximum Levy $64,834,729
The actual tax levy for FY 2012 was $62,274,744 a decrease of $234,594 or 0.37% less than the previous year. In addition to the allowable increases to the levy limit noted above, the tax revenue for an operating
Page 28 override on voter approved mosquito expenses increased in 2012 by $100,000. Property tax abatements granted on the 2012 tax levy during the abatement period totaled $324,253.55, or 0.50% of the levy.
Tax rates for fiscal year 2012 were: Residential $3.62 Open Space $3.46 Commercial $6.47 Industrial $6.47 Personal Property $6.47
For comparison, the average residential tax rate in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2012 was $13.13. Nantucket’s composite tax rate was $3.70. This is the rate that would be charged if the community used a single rate structure. One penny on the composite tax rate yielded $175,229, compared to $172,084 in fiscal year 2011.
A residential exemption is available for year round residents, as authorized by MGS. Average values and taxes on residential properties are listed in the next chart.

State average does not include Nantucket and the one hundred and seven other communities that have a split residential/commercial tax rate.
Collections The Collector’s office personnel bill and collect for real estate, personal property, motor vehicle excise and boat excise taxes and landfill bills. In addition, they process police and fire off-duty bills, departmental receipts for the Town and County, process lockbox payments, and prepare municipal lien certificates for property sales or transfers. The Tax Collector’s division of Finance has begun to implement a more “green” initiative in 2012 to reduce its carbon footprint. Instead of reprinting tax bills, Tax payers now have the option to use the online bill pay site for paying real estate, personal property, motor vehicle and boat excise tax bills. E-bills negate the need to reprint bills. To use the system, taxpayers simply need their bill number and year; then go to the Town’s website at www.nantucket-ma.gov, tax collections.
In 2012, tax collections using the on-line bill pay and in office services were $61,927,987 or 99.4% of the levy. This amount includes collections of delinquent taxes and tax liens. Property tax revenue represented 85.5% of revenue for the general operating fund. Other revenue for the general operating fund of the Town for FY 2012 is as follows, shown with FY 2011 for comparison:

Treasury The Treasurer’s office personnel process payroll and accounts payable for the Town, County, NRTA and Land Bank, invest Town funds as allowable by law, collect on or close liened tax accounts, make all debt service payments, and work with our financial advisor and bond counsel on the financial disclosure related to issuing new debt and SEC required reporting for outstanding debt.
MGL defines allowable borrowing purposes, maximum terms, limitations to overall debt, and types of borrowing that are inside or outside a legally defined debt limit. The debt limit for inside debt is 5% of Equalized Value (EQV) as determined by the Commonwealth, biannually. Nantucket’s proposed 2012 EQV is $18 billion, the 4th highest in the Commonwealth, and the debt limit is $1.1 billion.
The Town’s long-term debt outstanding on June 30, 2012 consists of Governmental Funds debt of $55,420,484 and Enterprise Fund debt of $92,710,637. Changes in general long-term debt during the year is shown in the following chart. Additional detail is available in the audit report (note that for audit report purposes, any short term borrowing at year end, which was converted to long term debt prior to the issuance of the audit report, is reported as long term debt at year end, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP)). This chart does not follow GAAP reporting conventions.

Governmental fund debt consists primarily of General Fund debt, and includes obligations on behalf of the Nantucket Island Land Bank and the Sewer Enterprise Fund. Long-term debt was issued during the year at an effective net interest cost of 2.55%. Moody’s Investors Service affirmed the Town’s Aa2 rating on long- term debt, stating that the Aa2 rating continues to reflect the Town’s substantial tax base and healthy financial position. However, Moody’s noted the Town may face challenges of maintaining a structural balance with slow revenue growth and increasing operating expenditures especially with two of the Town’s enterprise funds (Solid Waste and Our Island Home) and personnel costs.
Reductions of debt include restructuring of borrowing from Massachusetts Water Pollution Abatement Trust for the Surfside Wastewater Treatment Facility, which reduced debt outstanding for the General Fund and the Sewer Enterprise Fund. The Town’s debt is structured to retire 59% of principal within ten years.

Reductions of authorizations include debt issuance (not previously borrowed short-term) and actions by Annual Town Meeting.
Finance and Operations Finance and Operations department personnel manage property and liability insurance coverage and claims for the Town, County, Land Bank and NRTA, maintain budget and accounting records for all fund and account groups, prepare financial reports to meet local, state and federal requirements, participate in union negotiations, provide support for the budgetary process, and coordinate the annual audit of financial operations for the Town and County of Nantucket.
Special revenue funds receive revenues from federal and state grants, and from fee-based programs. Revenues are legally restricted for a specific purpose. Capital projects are funded from 1% of the prior fiscal years real estate taxes, personal property taxes, and other local revenues as well as proceeds of general obligation bond issues, from federal and state grants, or from transfers from the general operating fund, authorized by Town Meeting.
The Town of Nantucket has six enterprise funds (Nantucket Memorial Airport, Wannacomet Water Company, Siasconset Water, Our Island Home, Sewer, and Solid Waste) in fiscal 2012. Enterprise funds are established to show the full cost of operations for business type activities, and user charges provide a substantial portion of revenues. In lieu of residential user charges for solid waste operations, the Town of Nantucket provides funds to operate the landfill from general tax revenue. The total provided in Fiscal 2012 was $4,991,085 comprised of $2,855,000 in operating overrides, approved by the voters at annual and special town meetings, with additional subsidy from the General Fund in the amount of $1,483,000 for operations and $653,085 for landfill mining. The Town of Nantucket also provides a General Fund subsidy to Our Island Home. The total provided in Fiscal 2012 was $2,781,920 from general tax revenue.
At June 30, 2012, the balance in the Stabilization Fund was $3,767,769, up from $38,000 at the beginning of fiscal 2006. The Town began funding the Stabilization Fund in 2006, after the development and approval of a Stabilization Fund policy.
Page 31 Department Highlights In 2012, the Finance Department underwent staffing changes. In the fall, we welcomed Matt Mannino as an Accounting Clerk, Peggy Altreuter as a permanent Accounts Payable Clerk, and Diana Wallingford in a part-time treasury position. We also welcomed Martin Anguelov to the team in January as the Executive Assistant to the Finance Director/Budget Analyst. We miss the laughter and warm personality of Wanda Hilts, a 20+ year Town of Nantucket loyal employee, who retired in 2012 and wish her all the best. We plan to say goodbye to the Finance offices at 22 Federal Street, a.k.a. "the Mooney Building", and 16 Broad Street and cherish many happy memories. The entire Finance team will be moving into its new home at 37 Washington Street.
I would like to personally thank the entire Finance Department team for all their hard work and dedication to deliver consecutive unqualified opinions on the 2011 and 2012 Audit. I couldn't do it without the integral piece of the puzzle that each of you represent towards achieving this goal.
On behalf of the Finance Department, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the public, Town Administration, Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, Audit Committee, Ad Hoc Budget Workgroup, Board of Assessors, Town, School, and Enterprise Fund departments for your continued support during Fiscal Year 2012.
Respectfully submitted,
Irene Larivee Finance Director
TOWN MANAGER
The Charter for the Town of Nantucket outlines fifteen specific duties for the Town Manager. These duties include: oversight of town departments; appointments; collective bargaining negotiations and other personnel-related matters; preparation of the annual budget and Town Meeting warrants; and, implementation of policy set forth by the Board of Selectmen. All departments, except for the School, Airport and Water departments, are contained within the purview of Town Administration.
Personnel/Staffing Department of Public Works The vacancy of the DPW Director position, following the untimely passing of long-time Director Jeff Willett in early 2011, was filled in October, 2011. We were pleased to welcome Kara Buzanoski, former DPW Director from Northborough, Mass. Kara is familiar with the island, having been here numerous times. She almost immediately became immersed with wastewater planning activities. Additionally, utilizing the recommendations of the Mercer Report for Management and Operations Overview of the Public Works Department, issued in 2009, Kara is actively looking at organizational and services efficiencies within the department, with recommendations forthcoming in FY 2013.
Last year, we consolidated the Park and Recreation Department with the DPW. The former Park and Recreation Director, Jimmy Manchester, has now become the Town’s Grounds Maintenance Manager. He will continue to oversee maintenance of the playing fields, beach concessions and other recreation
Page 32 properties, as well as municipal buildings and other properties. The event side of Park and Recreation will be handled, at least for now, with a seasonal recreation coordinator.
Finance The vacancy of the Finance Director position, following the departure of Connie Voges in early 2011 was filled with Assistant Finance Director Irene Larivee in August, 2011. We look forward to continuing to work with Irene to improve Finance Department operations and financial management of the Town, overall.
Marine/Police The Marine Department was reorganized, administratively, for the purposes of achieving efficiencies, including centralization of various permits and information technology systems, enhanced safety and planning and more focus on emergency and other marine/harbor-related planning that needs specific attention. This is also part of an on-going effort to group departments by function to capitalize on existing internal structure for administrative matters such as purchasing, payroll processing, bill paying, so that operations staff can focus on operations and direct service to the public.
On April 23, 2012, Marine Superintendent Dave Fronzuto became the Town’s Emergency Management Coordinator. Dave will manage the Town’s emergency planning and associated activities; as well as other plans in progress including the Coastal Management Plan and Harbor Plan. The position will also be responsible for updating the Town's emergency management plan and will actively attend meetings of state and regional emergency planning officials. Although we have been able to satisfactorily handle our responses to major events to date, our preparedness is really not up to where it should be for a community our size and as geographically isolated as we are -- enabling an existing, experienced staff person to bring us up to date is a very positive benefit. This dedicated position will also actively seek and apply for state and federal grants that the Town could not focus on previously. Administrative oversight of Dave’s position has been delegated to the Police Chief and Mr. Fronzuto’s office has moved to the Public Safety Facility at 4 Fairgrounds Road. The Marine Superintendent position will not be filled.
Sheila Lucey was appointed Harbormaster and will handle the day-to-day operations of the harbor and waterfront activities. Office Administrator Catherine Tovet has been moved to the Public Safety Facility to formally establish the Town’s all-in-one permit and licensing service. Ms. Tovet will continue to issue not only Marine Department permits such as mooring, shellfish and slips but other permits issued by the Police Department. This will enable the Town to provide more convenient service particularly with extended hours during the summer. The general public will be able to come to 4 Fairgrounds Road at any time during normal business hours to apply for and receive permits such as gun permits, taxi licenses, beach driving permits as well as the Marine Department permits. The hours for access to beach and shellfish permits will be expanded into the evening hours during the peak season. The Marine Department is now also tied into the central dispatch center. Callers to the Marine Department will no longer get a recording after office hours -- they will be able to talk to a live person if they choose and all Marine-related calls can now receive a work order so they can be logged and managed similar to police and fire calls.
These changes have not resulted in additional staff; rather, the use of existing staff more effectively and purposefully.
All of these consolidations and changes, including the departmental consolidations initiated over the last three years, are meant to utilize our existing resources more effectively and to provide continued or better service to the public wherever possible. Change can be tough to implement, manage and see through. We
Page 33 seem to be in the midst of the “change transition” that we have been discussing for the last 4-5 years and it is causing some angst among staff and the public from time to time. We anticipate that once people get used to different – and hopefully better service – these changes will be welcomed. Many cities and towns are going through very similar changes. It is imperative in light of the falling revenue we have all experienced over the last several years, that we “change the way we do business” as do all progressive organizations when faced with fiscal challenges. This in fact, has been our budget development “motto” for about the prior three budget years.
2012 Town Meeting/Elections/Budget The 2012 Annual Town Meeting was held for the first time, at least in recent history, on a Saturday. While the meeting did not conclude on Saturday (it was recessed to the following Monday and concluded then), most feedback about the Saturday town meeting was positive. Town Meeting began with a tribute to former Moderator and community servant, Wayne F. Holmes. A legislative certificate was presented to Mr. Holmes’s family by state Representative Timothy Madden. The Town Meeting warrant contained 98 citizen and Town-sponsored articles, including appropriations, zoning, real estate dispositions, bylaw amendments and home rule petitions. Of the 98 articles, 40 were called. Approved capital projects for FY 2013 totaled $776,420 for infrastructure repairs and maintenance and repairs for Town and School buildings. These expenditures were funded from free cash as well as unexpended prior year capital articles. Property taxes were not increased to cover any of these projects. Other noteworthy articles included:
Approval of use of General Fund sources to cover various Airport capital project deficits and current budget year projected shortfalls. There was some discussion about these articles at the Town Meeting and an information sheet was made available at the Meeting and may be found on the Town’s website; The passage of Article 12 which was subject to a debt exclusion override (which subsequently passed) for the construction of a bicycle path along Hummock Pond Road, in the amount of $3,200,000. This appropriation was offset by an extremely generous anonymous donation of $500,000. Construction of the bike path is expected to begin in the fall of 2012 and is expected to be completed in early summer 2013; Article 13, a proposed appropriation for a wind turbine at the Madaket landfill, arguably the most controversial article on the warrant, was defeated by a vote of 463 (No) to 282 (Yes); Article 31, the annual appropriations for projects to be funded through the Community Preservation Fund Community Preservation included a $990,000 recommendation toward an affordable housing project known as Sachem’s Path, had a Finance Committee Motion which removed that item; however, Town Meeting voted to fund it, as recommended by the Community Preservation Committee; The passage of Article 77, a home rule petition to authorize the Town to enact regulations pertaining to fertilizer use.
A complete listing of votes may be found on the Town’s website at the Town Clerk’s webpage www.nantucket-ma.gov/Pages/NantucketMA_TownMeeting/index.
The FY 2013 General Fund budget as approved by the 2012 Annual Town Meeting was just over $300,000 higher than the FY 2012 budget. The Town of Nantucket has been extremely fortunate not to have had to make the deep cuts that many other municipalities in the region have had to implement over the last few years. We have been cautious about adding any new positions; been continuing to review and implement
Page 34 organizational restructuring when appropriate, including when vacancies of significant positions occur; and have been able to rely on the revenue enhancements approved at a special town meeting in September, 2009 (expansion of the local room occupancy tax and implementation of a local meals tax). Towards the end of FY 2012, Town Administration was beginning to review the effectiveness of the consolidated Code Enforcement Department and examine ways in which to improve its operational efficiency, including moving those offices from 37 Washington Street to the Town facility at 2 Fairgrounds Road.
As we move toward developing budgets for FY 2014-16, we are likely to continue reviewing other ways in which the Town can become more efficiently operated – some of these may have an upfront cost but would achieve long-term savings and/or better service to the community.
Significant Projects/Issues Financial Management One of the Board of Selectmen’s Goals for 2011-2012 related to achieving an unqualified audit opinion for the fiscal year 2011. On February 21, 2012, the Audit Committee met to review the draft audit and associated management letter with the Town’s auditor (Renee Davis of Powers and Sullivan). I am pleased to report that we did achieve an unqualified audit opinion for which the Town’s Finance Department deserves recognition. A lot of hard work and transitional issues have occurred over the past year in the Department and we are very pleased with their efforts and progress. Also at the February 21 Audit Committee meeting, a second interim report was reviewed from the Abrahams Group which conducted an organizational review of the Finance Department in 2008. The initial report contained 36 recommendations, many of which relate to internal controls. The first interim report was conducted in 2009. This second interim report indicated progress toward completion of many of the remaining recommendations, most of which are those which require a longer-term effort to implement across departments.
NCTV In 2011, the Board designated Nantucket Community Television as the operator of the PEG (Public Education Government) channel (Channel 18), which is funded through a surcharge on cable television bills. With the implementation of the PEG channel, it is expected that many board, committee and commission meetings will be televised live and catalogued on-line. At the end of FY 2012, NCTV hired a director, Jeff Tocci, who is well underway with taping various public meetings, including live streaming on the Internet. Various meetings and events of interest can be found on NCTV’s website at www.nctv18.org.
Wastewater Management Planning Considerable effort was spent, and is continues to be spent, on the development of a wastewater action plan. The 2012 Annual Town Meeting approved funding to update the Town’s 2004 Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP). At the end of FY 2012, the Board was discussing the establishment of a Sewer Planning Work Group to assist with recommendations on a variety of wastewater items, including financing of future capital projects. Several meetings were held in the summer of 2011 with various community, association and neighborhood groups regarding the planning efforts. The Town’s consultants for the CWMP update, Woodard & Curran, are actively engaged in obtaining the information and data needed for the Plan update. The updated CWMP is expected to be complete by the end of calendar year 2013.
Collective Bargaining In FY 2012, Town Administration revisited the way in which it has handled collective bargaining. We have developed more of a team approach which involves several departments, who have the various union
Page 35 contracts to administer. We also began to develop more of an overall strategy regarding when negotiations occur and items to negotiate which are meant to be fair as well as address economic conditions.
Airport A significant amount of Town Administration and Board of Selectmen time was spent on Airport issues during FY 2012 and into FY 2013. The state Attorney General’s office initiated an investigation into Airport procurement practices in early FY 2012. As a result, the Town engaged an outside firm to conduct a forensic audit of various Airport projects and procurement practices. That report may be found on the Town’s website, as well as the Attorney General’s final report which was issued in July, 2012. Fortunately, the Town was not fined, but is subject to quarterly reports pertaining to Airport procurement activity for one year. In addition to the regulatory issues, the Airport’s budget and financial management was also problematic. Many of these issues have either been resolved or are in the process of being resolved, with increased focus on Airport expenditures and funding sources, and reorganization of the Airport Commission and Airport staff. A new Airport manager was hired in June of 2012.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Board of Selectmen, my immediate staff, including Gregg Tivnan (Assistant Town Manager), Diane O’Neil (Projects Manager), Anne McAndrew (Licensing Agent) and Erika Mooney (Executive Assistant to the Town Manager); and, the department heads for their support and assistance throughout the year. I also extend thanks to the Town employees for their efforts to serve the Town. There is a lot of hard work that goes into making Nantucket a great place to live and that work often goes unseen. Of course, the support of the Nantucket community is always appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
C. Elizabeth Gibson Town Manager

TOWN AND COUNTY CLERK
Gail Holdgate joined the Town Clerk’s office as an administrative assistant and has settled right in. Assistant Town Clerk Nancy Holmes completed her third year of Clerk Certification training at the International and New England Clerk’s Institute. NEMCIA is an annual, grueling, seven-day course of intensive professional study. As soon as the 2012 election is finalized, Nancy will apply for her official CMC designation. (Thank you for your hard work, Nancy!)
The Presidential Preference Primary was held on March 6, 2012. This event kicks off an action-packed Presidential Election year.
Due to popular demand, the Town held its first all-day Saturday Town Meeting. It received rave reviews from all near and far. There were several contentious articles that brought folks out.
Page 36 The changes to the Open Meeting Law and Ethics rules continue unabated. Several trainings have been held by Kopelman and Paige, and more will surely follow until the state settles on a final product. Anyone with questions should call us at the office at (508) 228-7217. (When in doubt, please call!)
I make every effort to attend every conference given by the local, state, New England, and International Clerks’ associations. As always, with any conferences I attend, the courses of study, as well as the networks established with other municipal clerks worldwide, provide an inexhaustible vault of information that enables the Nantucket Town Clerk’s Office to serve you better. No matter what your questions are, if we don’t know the answers, we’ll know where to find them!
We truly appreciate the support given to the Town Clerk’s Office by the residents and voters. Your enthusiastic encouragement makes our jobs a joy. We look forward to serving you for another year. If there is anything that we can do to serve you better, let us know. I don’t mind being contacted at home at (508) 228-7841.

TOWN COUNSEL
Fiscal Year 2012 represents the first full fiscal year of our firm’s service as Town Counsel to the Town of Nantucket. We are honored to have the opportunity to work with and assist the Board of Selectmen, the Town Administration and all of the officers and employees of the Town in meeting their goals under trying financial constraints.
General The services that Town Counsel provides to the Town fall into several categories. The first of these is referred to as general municipal law, which includes: preparation for and attendance at all town meetings and as requested at meetings of the Board of Selectmen and all other boards and commissions as directed; oral and written opinions on a variety of legal issues; and review of contracts and other legal documents. In addition, we represent the Town in litigation and administrative appeals, as well as in other specialized areas such as real estate, land use, licensing, labor and employment law, construction and procurement, and environment matters.
One of the primary goals is to assist the Town in managing legal costs. We use preventive law by giving comprehensive and accurate advice on all legal matters that confront the Town, advising the Town on litigation strategy, and providing a wide range of training to boards and officials to assist them in performing their duties within the bounds of established law, thereby avoiding unnecessary and sometimes costly litigation.
As part of our goal to control legal costs, our firm has run numerous training sessions and workshops at no charge such as Conflict of Interest seminars for Town officials; an overview of employment laws and conflict management training to department heads, and open meeting law training. In addition, our firm has issued a number of memoranda to our clients informing them of recent developments in municipal law including, for example, a summary of recent amendments to the Open Meeting Law and the Community Preservation Act.
Litigation At the end of the fiscal year, there were 29 cases in various courts involving the Town. A total of 11 cases were resolved during the fiscal year.
Labor We worked with the Town management team to implement health insurance plan design changes under the new Massachusetts municipal health insurance reform law, resulting in substantial projected savings to the Town. We assisted the Town and Airport administrations with various personnel changes, including related negotiations and drafting of agreements. We continued to provide training on employment-related laws and counseled Town officials on numerous issues related to labor and employment, including the interpretation and administration of various federal and state laws, the administration of collective
Page 47 bargaining agreements, and the resolution of employment disputes and grievances in a pragmatic and cost-effective manner.
Airport Commission The successful operation of Nantucket Memorial Airport is vital to the Island. During Fiscal Year 2012, the firm provided significant legal services to the Airport Commission in four distinct areas: advice regarding conformance of public bidding and procurement practices to Massachusetts Law in light of the investigation by the Attorney General; assisting the Airport Commission in managing the general administration building construction project; providing advice regarding municipal finance and enterprise fund budgeting and accounts; and assistance with several personnel matters.
Real Estate The firm has performed a wide variety of legal services in connection with several real estate projects involving the Town and the County, including a number of Yard Sale transactions, the acquisition of several “One Big Beach” easements, and land acquisitions related to the Town’s Community Preservation Act program.
I speak for all my colleagues in saying that it is a privilege to work for and with the Town of Nantucket. We thank the Selectmen for their confidence in allow us to serve and the Town’s employees and officials for their assistance to date. We look forward to many interesting and challenging projects throughout this coming fiscal year.
Respectfully submitted,
Leonard Kopelman Kopelman and Paige, P.C.

HUMAN SERVICES REPORTS
DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES
As a result of the Town of Nantucket’s consolidation plan, the Department of Human Services was born. Although not technically in place until July 1, 2011, the transfer of management took place in February 2011.
The newly formed Department Director is Pamela Meriam (formerly Our Island Home Administrator), who oversees the following entities: Our Island Home, Senior Services, Commission on Disability, and Veterans’ Services. Our Island Home’s Administrator is now Rachel Day, and the Senior Services Director is Linda Roberts who is now responsible for the operations of the Saltmarsh Senior Center and the Senior Day Center (formerly Adult Community Day Center). Brenda McDonough is the Facilitator for the Commission on Disabilities and Arnold Paterson is the Veterans’ Services representative. The Council for Human Services and its subcommittee, the Contract Review Committee, also come under Pam’s purview.
The Human Services Department staff (Pam Meriam and Ann Medina) serves all who are in need of assistance with fuel assistance and food stamp applications and also provides information and referral to other off and on island agencies as needed. The Director is the liaison between varied Town and community agencies, boards, councils and commissions. Regular contact is also maintained with other cities and towns facing similar issues.
COUNCIL FOR HUMAN SERVICES The Council for Human Services (CHS) was established in 1986 to ensure that the island’s human service needs are addressed in a manner that best serves the residents of Nantucket. The CHS is comprised of 9 community members, appointed annually for three year terms by the Board of Selectmen. The Council works in concert with the Human Services Director to facilitate communication among local and regional helping agencies, human service providers and the community at large.
The CHS provides a central focus for the island’s varied human service activities, as well as an avenue for addressing deficiencies and gaps in the community’s critical obligation to nurture and sustain a healthy and vital community for its residents.
HUMAN SERVICES CONTRACT REVIEW COMMITTEE As a subcommittee of the Council for Human Services, the Human Services Contract Review Committee (HSCRC) was established in May of 1993 at the request of town meeting. Members include representatives from the Board of Selectmen, the Finance Committee, the Nantucket Planning and Economic Development Commission, the Council for Human Services and the community-at-large. The HSCRC reviews local health and human service funding requests annually and make recommendations to the Finance Committee and the Board of Selectmen regarding appropriations.
Organizations which received funds for fiscal year 2011 include: Alliance for Substance Abuse and Family and Children’s Services d/b/a Nantucket Behavioral Health Services; A Safe Place; Elder Services of Cape Cod and Islands; Interfaith Council Food Pantry; Interfaith Council Rental Assistance Program; South
Page 49 Coastal Counties Legal Services; Nantucket Aids Network; Nantucket Cottage Hospital; Martha’s Vineyard Community Services; and Family Planning.
FISCAL YEAR 2012 HIGHLIGHTS Fuel Assistance and Food Stamp Applications 71 households (32 return clients, 39 new) received fuel assistance (this is 45 fewer households than were seen in the previous year). This does not necessarily indicate fewer residents receiving assistance; however, those who received in the past do not necessarily need to come through our office for their reapplication. Additionally, Rotary Club of Nantucket subsidized fuel bills for referred elder clients. In many cases food stamp applications were processed concurrently with fuel assistance. Additional food stamp applications were filed, as well. For fiscal year 2013, the Fuel Assistance Program will be managed by Nantucket Rental Assistance Program per 2012 Annual Town Meeting vote.
Nantucket Healthy Community Collaborative The Director has been an active contributor to this island-wide collaborative which represents many of the not for profit providers on Nantucket. Through this collaborative, the human service needs of the island become even clearer.
Tri County Collaborative For Oral Health/Oral Health Excellence Members of the Council (Dorothy Hertz, Richard Ross, Mary Wawro, Bart Cosgrove), and Maryanne Worth worked with BL Hathaway, Tri County Collaborative to create a Nantucket Guide to dentists accepting MassHealth. They also presented “The State of Oral Health on Nantucket” to the Nantucket Board of Health. This report included statistics on the specific needs of children, adults and seniors on the island. Also, Dorothy and Richard worked with the Nantucket Healthy Community Collaborative to distribute over 1,000 toothbrushes and toothpaste to children and adults across the island. The Director will continue to represent Human Services with this organization. A new area of interest for this organization (now named Oral Health Excellence) is to research the possibility of bringing fluoridation to Nantucket. At this time, there will be no steps taken to accomplish this.
Regional Network to End Homelessness The Council and Human Services staff are working with the Community Action Committee of Cape and Islands to create both a plan for the immediate future and a 10 year plan to address homelessness on the Cape and Islands. Housing Specialist Susan Bennett Witte has represented the Human Services Department at these monthly meetings on the Cape. Cape Cod Community Action Cape and Islands (CACCI) representatives from this project visited Human Services in January of 2012 to discuss possible outreach for Nantucket. However, these are goals for CACCI, and not implemented as of this writing.
Community Transformation Grant/Mass in Motion Human Services applied for a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) to build on our Mass in Motion initiative to increase access to healthy eating, and increase activity levels of Massachusetts citizens. Some policy and communication efforts will be statewide and intensive efforts will occur in selected communities. The selected communities need to be or become part of the Mass in Motion Municipal Wellness and Leadership initiative, need to be willing to work on the strategic directions of the grant application and demonstrate the ability to contribute to a strong application by MDPH. Notification of awardees will be in July of 2012.
Page 50 The Department of Human Services is now located at 81 Washington Street at the Saltmarsh Senior Center. Effective July 1, 2011, the Department staff consists of one director at 40 hours, one administrative assistant at 35 hours and one 20 hour program assistant position. Hours of operation are generally Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Pamela Meriam Director
COUNCIL ON AGING
The Nantucket Council on Aging (COA) was established by voters at the 1974 Annual Town Meeting. The senior center is located at 81 Washington Street in the Saltmarsh Senior Center. Our mission is to identify unmet needs, design, promote, and improve the services available for our elders through a variety of community programs that support and enrich their lives. Programs, activities and related information are detailed in a monthly newsletter and on the Town’s website under Boards and Committees.
The Board of Selectmen appoints nine members from the community to serve on the COA board for staggered three-year terms. The 2011-2012 board members were: Thomas B. McGlinn, Chairman; John McLaughlin, Vice Chairman; Chuck Gifford, Jon St Laurent, Glenora Kelly Smith, Patricia Thornton, Daryl Westbrook, Randy Wight and Brenda Johnson, who resigned in April. The COA board members hold regular monthly business meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at 1:30 PM at the Saltmarsh Senior Center.
The COA board selects one woman and one man as “Nantucket’s Senior Citizens of the Year.” The 2012 awards went to Mrs. Randy Wight and Mr. Paul Connors. Recognition from state and local officials was given at the annual volunteer appreciation luncheon which was also attended by members of their families. The Nantucket Center for Elder Affairs, Inc. generously paid for the luncheon held at Faregrounds Restaurant.
In July 2011 the Town consolidated the COA Department with the Adult Community Day Care Center which is now referred to as Senior Services and Senior Day Care. Elimination of a 40-hour per week administrative position and organizational changes were made placing the department under the Director of Human Services. Additional changes were made in January 2012 with the relocation of the Human Services offices from 2 Bathing Beach Road to the Saltmarsh Center.
The budget appropriated by the Town provides for staff and operational costs. New this year was a grant from the Tupancy-Harris Foundation which funded $18,000 for Oral Health clinics, provided by Dr. Matthew Mulcahy and facilitated by MaryAnne Worth. Additional support was made possible through fundraising events by the Nantucket Center for Elder Affairs, Inc. and through the state’s Formula Grant, federal and foundation grants, and community donations. This year’s fundraising activities included: John Buttrick’s Concert, the Ship’s Inn and Sea Grille dinners, Christmas bazaar and Yankee Magazines subscription and renewal offers.
Page 51 The COA and NCEA sponsored highly competitive teams for the annual Friends of Nantucket Public Schools Spelling Bee and the Nantucket Historical Associations History Bowl. Sponsorship was also provided for the Island’s annual One Book One Island community project as well as several programs co- sponsored with the Nantucket Atheneum. We paired volunteers with seniors in need for snow removal upon request. Our fourth annual Elder Expo in September was targeted on informational sharing and awareness of support services. Other items of note that occurred this past year include:
Serving the Health Information Needs of Elders (SHINE) counselors updated seniors on the options available under the Medicare Drug Programs. The Council for Human Services filed applications for our seniors to provide them with funding for fuel assistance and food stamps. Free information services and seminars were provided concerning health insurance, long-term care, investments, taxes, assistive technology for consumers, home and driving safety, banking and money management, healthy living, caregivers support, fall prevention, nutritional well-being and end of life decisions. Special programs included: transportation for community events, made possible through a grant approved by Elder Services; natural history tours of Great Point provided by The Trustees of Reservations; fire safety forums by the Nantucket Fire Department; arts and craft classes, food preparation and sing-a-longs with local musicians; and the Nantucket Association of Real Estate Brokers provided funding to help seniors make their homes safer. A variety of regularly scheduled programs included: aerobic and strength training instruction; Yoga; Tai Chi; internet and computer assistance; writers workshops; quilting; knitting; cribbage; and bridge games and instruction.
The Senior Center was the host site for Elder Services of Cape Cod and the Islands’ congregate lunch program; the weekly blood pressure and monthly glucose clinics; veteran services; Legal Services of Cape Cod and the Islands; hearing and hearing aid services; and the Social Security Administration for their visits in May and June.
Goals for fiscal year 2012 include the following: Continue with and improve the programs, services and supports offered. Continue networking with elder service providers and first responders through monthly Elder Safety Committee and Town Senior Service meetings. Host the fifth Elder Expo in September 2012. Maintain and improve our website and database of services provided to our seniors. Continue with ways to identify elder needs, board and staff development and public relations to increase private support and seek out additional grants and funding.
The high level of professionally instructed programs would not be possible without the creative resources and dedication of the instructional staff, our volunteers and the generosity from those who donate their time and talents and truly care about our elderly citizens. We also extend our gratitude and appreciation to the hard work of the Senior Services and Senior Day Care Staff which include: Ginny Carrera, Mary Richrod, and Jennifer Pask, and the dedication of our board members, family, friends, volunteers, elected officials and fellow Town departments. We are fortunate to reside in a community that values our elderly. It has been our sincerely pleasure and honor to serve our senior community. Thank you.

OUR ISLAND HOME
Our Island Home is the provider of care for residents of Nantucket needing long-term nursing care. It is a 45-bed nursing home facility operating as an enterprise fund of the Town of Nantucket. Our Island Home (OIH) meets the needs of the Nantucket community through 24-hour quality care, inpatient services, rehabilitation services, geriatric-related education, outreach programming, etc. while ensuring the focus remains on our residents’ overall health, safety, and well being. This is done in accordance with fiscal restraints, state and federal regulations, as well as an emphasis on their overall safety and well being. Staff consists of approximately 70 employees that include permanent and per diem personnel.
Surveys: the 2011 Department of Public Health annual survey resulted in no deficiencies of potential/actual harm to our residents. The 2011 Life Safety Survey resulted in no deficiencies of any type.
ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT Within FY 2012 we had the retirement of a few key personnel. John “Jack” Hayes, Plant Supervisor, was employed with OIH since 2001, and Edward King was hired to fill the position. Hugh MacVicar, Food Service Supervisor, was employed with OIH since 1987, and John O’Connor was hired to fill the position. The transition to the new supervisors has gone well. In relation, effective July 1, 2011, OIH experienced another round of layoff/reduction of hours for personnel within the Dietary and Housekeeping departments for a total of 1.675 Full Time Equivalents. This has been a challenge, especially with the changing of the department head during the year, but overall the impact on operations within the facility was minimally impacted. It is a goal to continue to provide safe staffing levels and quality care/performance while working within these continued reductions and fiscal restraints.
IMPROVE FISCAL MANAGEMENT We have maintained a steady census which resulted in the average yearly census being the same as fiscal year 2011: 42 out of 45. Our largest payor source remains Medicaid/Mass Health at an average of 70%. OIH continues to have a steady increase in the number of discharges back to the community or home. In FY 2012, about 35% of our discharges were of this category, up from 28% in FY 2011. Our goal for FY 2013 is to continue to maintain a high census, meet (or exceed) revenue projections, and continue our steady increase in returning residents to their homes!
FY 2012 overall budgeted revenue was exceeded. However, with the additional revenue came additional expenses outside of budget that required the request of additional funds through OIH retained earnings to cover the deficits incurred. One reason for increase revenue was that OIH had another year of improvement in Medicare as evidenced by an increase in revenue brought in compared to FY 2011 by 174%. OIH has managed this by providing higher levels of rehabilitation, improved identification of skilled nursing qualifiers, and continuing to increase our Medicare Clinically Anticipated Stay length. OIH has managed to also increase the average daily census of Medicare residents by one compared to FY 2011 resulting in a total of three Medicare residents per day. While it is great that our Medicare acuity and census has increased, our staffing has not increased with this acuity level and thus presents a challenge.
Page 53 This is seen in our CMS Five Star Rating as being a 4 out of 5 star facility; down from 5 stars in fiscal year 2011. This rating is based on a weighted formula of Health Inspections (4/5), Staffing (2/5), and Quality ratings (4/5). Staffing is our lowest score with as it is based upon the nursing hours per day per resident compared to the overall resident acuity level. Our goal is to continue to provide Medicare at our current level and meet general resident needs within the fiscal and personnel constraints we have.
OIH has enlisted the services of a legal lobbying group to provide legislation amendments to the Nursing Home User Fee legislation (commonly referred to as a ‘bed tax’) which we hope will result in some fiscal relief to OIH. While this is still in progress, this group did assist us in filing for a Certified Public Expenditure payment. This payment is provided through Medicaid to offset a facility owned by a municipality’s cost of public expenditures of providing Medicaid services to eligible Medicaid recipients. In FY 2012 we filed for and were approved to receive a large sum for the CPE for the calendar year of part of 2009 and 2010. We are in the process of claiming for calendar year 2011.
ENHANCE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS A long term care industry trend seen during FY 2012 is the reduction of psychotropic medication use. OIH has continued to reduce its usage of these medications with a cooperative effort with our pharmacy consultant and remains below State and National average for 4 out of 5 categories of psychotropic medications again. Our medication utilization average (routine medication and those provided on an ‘as needed’ basis) is also far below the average for other facilities (OIH averages 7.5 while the overall average
Page 54 in 10.8). Our goal for FY 2013 is to continue this trend of reducing the number of medications residents receive overall.
To provide a quicker response to our resident needs and reduce ‘noise pollution’, we implemented a new Nurse Call System. We hope to be able to expand upon this new system by providing pagers to all direct care staff. This addition to the system will eliminate the need for all overhead paging and will create a more home-like, comfortable environment in which our residents live.
OIH enrolled in the optional Mass Health State program called Pay for Performance which measures a facility’s performance on participate clinical measures. Initially implemented in 2009, the latest ‘wave’ of the program focused on the ability to meet or exceed an established state benchmark or by showing improvement within the facility itself on ‘Consistent Assignment’ of caregivers to individual residents. The goal is that no resident will have more than 8 different care givers in a four week period. Even though OIH had implemented a consistent assignment before the program began we are working to improve our consistency and have succeeded in being awarded some grant money through the Mass Health office thus far. This is a program well met by residents and our goal is to continue to participate in this program through FY 2013 and continue to improve our satisfaction ratings.
Our volunteer program remains very active and is imperative to successful activity programming for our residents. We continue to receive generous donations that are used to offer activity programming that is otherwise unavailable due to lack of funds such as music and art therapy. In FY 2012, OIH began to participate in a movement called Music for Memories, fully operated by volunteers and donations in which iPods are provided to residents to undergo individualized music therapy. This program has had a great impact and wonderful effect thus far on our residents. We hope to continue to expand this through the upcoming year.

CODE ENFORCEMENT REPORTS
The department of Code Enforcement was established at the beginning of FY12. Offices were maintained at 37 Washington Street and the divisions of Building, Health, and Historic District Commission were consolidated under a single director. Late in the fiscal year, discussions to combine Code Enforcement with the Planning Office at 2 Fairgrounds Road were underway and plans to move the offices and complete an additional reorganization to achieve greater efficiency, improve customer service, expand hours of operation, combine staff functions, and implement a “one-stop-shop” approach to permitting were being developed for implementation beginning in FY13.
HEALTH DIVISION
The highlight of FY12 was the Board of Health’s participation in the Massachusetts Waste Water Abatement Funds loan program, which is targeted towards repairs to failed septic systems through the grant of low interest loans to property owners. Future activities of the Health Division encompass adoption of local fertilizer regulations and the completion of an Administrative Consent Order which will allow Madaket residents the ability to temporarily postpone repairs to technically failed system while the Town of Nantucket chooses a more suitable approach to waste water removal for the Madaket community.

HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
The Historic District Commission (HDC) was established by the Massachusetts legislature in 1955. Its purpose has been to promote the general welfare of the inhabitants of the Town of Nantucket (1) through the preservation and protection of historic buildings, places and districts of historic interest, (2) through the development of an appropriate setting for these buildings, places and districts, and (3) through the benefits resulting to the economy of Nantucket in developing and maintaining its vacation-travel industry through the promotion of these historic associations. The original Act has been amended a number of times in order to address community issues regarding HDC policies and procedures. In accordance with its statute, the HDC is responsible for reviewing exterior architectural features of all structures proposed to be altered, moved, constructed, or demolished. Guidelines for review are included in Building with Nantucket in Mind and in The Nantucket Sign Book.
Page 57 The HDC continued its 57th year with 47 regular weekly meetings. Applications were consistent with previous years and the 58,169th Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) was issued at the close of the fiscal year.

ISLAND SERVICES REPORTS
NANTUCKET MEMORIAL AIRPORT
Fiscal 2012 was a year of significant scrutiny and change in the operation and management of the Airport. The Attorney General of the Commonwealth expressed concerns about the Airport’s procurement practices and followed up with a report detailing those problems. Reflecting the community’s broader concerns about the Airport’s management, the Town engaged two firms to review practices at the Airport: a forensic audit conducted by the Marcum Group and a financial management review performed by Michael Daley, a consultant to the Town. While these studies were being conducted, the Airport Commission, with input from community members, embarked on a national search to replace the Airport Manager, who resigned in October 2011. The new Manager began in June, 2012. Other actions taken to address the concerns included revamped procurement procedures, improved relationships with Town staff and the community, and increased transparency by having Commission meetings videotaped. These are just a sample of actions taken prior to the release of these reports.
In addition to the replacement of the Airport Manager, several other personnel changes occurred in FY 2012 including the retirement of two longtime employees, the Airfield Supervisor and the Director of Finance. Overall, five full-time equivalent staff reductions were put in place.
While these studies were being conducted and changes in management practice were being introduced, the interim Airport Manager, Bill McGrath began the process of steadying the helm and charting the Airport’s new course. The community was fortunate that Mr. McGrath was willing to step up to the task.
During FY 2012 two major construction projects were underway with one completed in June and another started in November of 2011. An extension of 500 feet to runway 15/33 along with the rehabilitation of the intersection of runways 15/33 and 6/24 was completed in June of 2012. Any extension to a runway is a significant improvement for an airport, and is a very complicated project to manage due to the multiple operational impacts. The runway 15/33 project was an exemplary construction project that was completed on time, within budget and with no punch list items. In November of 2011, construction began on the General Aviation building to house the Fixed Base Operation for private aircraft and also contain the administrative and accounting offices. While challenges have faced this project, it is expected to be completed by the spring of 2013. In addition to these projects, the Airport also replaced several vehicle access gates in the security fence line.
During this period two other projects were considered but did not come to fruition. A solar energy proposal failed because of environmental and air traffic safety concerns. A ramp electrification effort so that jet engines would not have to run when the airplanes are parked could not be funded. However, the Airport will use the lessons learned from these experiences in future efforts to make the Airport more energy efficient and sustainable.
Another significant accomplishment in FY 2012 at the Airport was the successful planning, development and performance of the triennial full scale emergency exercise. This FAA-required exercise involves several steps and many hours to accomplish, and included participation from the local police and fire departments as well as the hospital and other agencies. As a FAA Certificated Commercial airport,
Page 59 Nantucket Memorial is required to perform a full scale mass casualty exercise to ensure sufficient resources are trained to respond and handle major emergencies.
Unfortunately, the financial picture at the Airport was not so bright with a significant subsidy required from the Town driven primarily by an unbudgeted increase in debt service, a large carry forward of unpaid bills from FY 2011, the settlement of a lawsuit, and extraordinary expenses incurred to deal with the management issues.. In previous years, the unspent proceeds from borrowings were incorrectly used as part of the calculation of retained earnings. This was remedied and resulted in a negative amount. In addition to changing this process, other accounting changes were implemented to begin the establishment of measureable benchmarks to indicate actual financial performance of the Airport. A major step in this area included breaking out the revenues associated with fuel purchases only. Previous practice was to lump all payments made by credit card together whether it was for fuel, landing fees or catering. Additionally, a revolving fund for fuel was created to better identify performance of fuel sales and to ensure sufficient purchasing ability for this product.
In the area of aviation traffic statistics, for the calendar year 2012, the number of aircraft operations was up 9.59% over 2011 while passenger enplanements were down 2.22%. An objective is to develop the tools which will enable management to understand and analyze trends in operations and enplanements and other factors of Airport usage. A positive indicator in performance at the Airport is in the area of freight movement, which was up by 13.94% from 2011.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
The Department of Natural Resources was formed in the past year as a combination of the Conservation Commission, Beach Management/Endangered Species Program, Shellfish Propagation, and Water Quality Program. The new department is comprised of Jeff Carlson, Natural Resources Coordinator and Tara Anne Riley, Shellfish Biologist. This past year we had a number of interns during the summer of 2011. We would like to give a special thanks to Ian Evans, Steve Heck, Mae Taylor, and Georgia Orenstein for their hard work during this season. We are looking forward to expanding all of our programs and developing a new department to best serve Nantucket. We are located at 2 Bathing Beach Road and can be reached by phone at (508) 228-7230. We encourage any person with a question or concern to contact us at the office.
Conservation Commission The Conservation Commission is primarily tasked with the administration of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (Chapter 130) and the Town of Nantucket Wetlands Bylaw (Chapter 136). The Commission hears various types of applications that are for any activity within 100 feet of a wetland resource area. The Commission in the past year was chaired by Dr. Ernest Steinauer and the Vice Chair was Dr. Sarah Oktay. The other members included Dr. Jen Karberg, John Brescher, Ian Golding, Andrew Bennett, and John Braginton-Smith. We would like to thank them for all of their hard work and dedication. The Commission heard the following applications in this fiscal year:
Page 60 Abbreviated Amended Notice of Request for Minor Notice of Certificates of Order of Resource Determination of Modifications/ Other Intent Compliance Conditions Area Applicability Plan Changes Delineation 70 17 3 20 23 69 3
The Commission meets every other Wednesday at the Public Safety Facility Training Room at 4:00 PM and the meetings are open to the public.
Beach Management/Endangered Species Program The Endangered Species Program had another successful season for the 2011 summer season. This past season Ian Evans did an outstanding job tracking all of the breeding protected bird species on the Town- owned/operated beaches. Historically the Town has had protected species and protected habitat at Jetties Beach, Low Beach, and Smith’s Point/Esther’s Island. Other areas monitored for the presence of breeding pairs includes Surfside Beach, Dionis Beach, Quaise Point, and Madaket Beach. Unfortunately, due to a number of large summer storms and some predation, breeding success was relatively low for this season. The tern colonies at Smith’s Point and Low Beach failed after a large storm event. The two pairs of piping plover at Jetties Beach fledged six chicks. No other plovers on Town-owned land were successful in the 2011 summer season. American oystercatchers were able to fledge four chicks from Town-owned/operated properties.
Shellfish Propagation The Shellfish Propagation Facility partnered with the Nantucket Land Council for a matching grant program that raised around $45,000 in donations towards the shellfish program by giving tours of the facility. As a result, the facility was able to increase shellfish production from 70 million post-set bay scallop larvae to 170 million bay scallop larvae. The production increase was largely due to having the ability to purchase more efficient equipment and implement two new algae systems in the propagation facility. The improved algae system was installed after receiving a grant from the Great Harbor Yacht Club for approximately $10,000. The “Larval Release Program” for bay scallops will be entering into its third year of evaluation as a standard stock enhancement strategy.
Tara Anne Riley was selected to participate as a Shellfish Hatchery Consultant for Wood’s Hole Oceanographic Institute’s project on the island of Zanzibar off the coast of Tanzania for nine weeks in the winter. The project’s goal is aimed at running East Africa’s first shellfish hatchery for a local species of clam known as the blood ark. The ultimate goal is train local islanders to produce blood ark seed to supply to the local village women to continue to farm until they are market size. This initiative will serve as an additional source of protein and increase economic opportunities for the women of Zanzibar.
The Shellfish Management Plan Oversight Committee met frequently and started to draft a plan for Nantucket’s shellfish resources. The plan seeks to incorporate all stakeholders input, provide historical knowledge, and serve as a guide by prioritizing future research.
Water Quality Program The Department of Natural Resources continued its water quality efforts of Nantucket Harbor, Madaket Harbor, Long Pond, Sesachacha Pond, Miacomet Pond, and Hummock Pond. The samples were collected and processed from May through October. Monthly water samples were also collected for the Division of
Page 61 Marine Fisheries from both harbors, Sesachacha Pond, and Coskata Pond. Madaket Harbor’s historical closure due to poor water quality was lifted as a result of the 2011 sanitary survey that reclassified a majority of Madaket Harbor as “approved” and open to shellfishing.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
The Nantucket Department of Public Works is comprised of six major divisions: 1) wastewater collection; 2) wastewater treatment; 3) solid waste (both recycling and solid waste disposal); 4) urban forestry; 5) stormwater management; and 6) general street and sidewalk maintenance. This annual report will provide an overview of each division and its accomplishments during FY 2012.
Wastewater Collection During FY 2012 the Town continued to make progress in achieving the recommendations contained in the Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan and the goals established in the Wastewater Capital Improvement. The Town has contracted with Woodard and Curran to study the feasibility of constructing a wastewater treatment facility in Madaket and updating the Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan. The DPW continues to provide daily maintenance of the sewer collection system.
Wastewater Treatment The DPW is responsible for the operation and maintenance of two wastewater treatment plants: Surfside and Siasconset. Both facilities are advanced treatment plants, including nitrogen reduction and are in compliance with federal and Commonwealth regulations.
Solid Waste The solid waste facility took in approximately 34,000 tons for all categories of waste in 2012 and recycled approximately 19,000 tons of material. Landfill mining continued in 2012. This mining activity will provide future lined landfill space and reclaim valuable buried materials, while at the same time significantly reducing the potential for groundwater contamination. Nantucket has been recognized as a national leader for its recycling efforts.
Urban Forestry The Town of Nantucket was honored for its maintenance efforts in urban forestry with its 13th Tree City Award.
Stormwater Management During FY 2012 the DPW installed several new drainage structures across the island which will help to lessen localized flooding.
Streets The DPW obtained a thermoplastic paint machine and will be phasing out water-based street paint over the next few years.

WOODS HOLE, MARTHA’S VINEYARD, AND NANTUCKET STEAMSHIP AUTHORITY
The Woods Hole, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket Steamship Authority (SSA) was created in 1960, and has operated specifically for the benefit of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard since 1962 without any deficit or state subsidy. Any operating deficit would be assessed to the five ports that we serve according to proportionate representation. Nantucket has a 35% vote. Though the SSA occasionally benefits from federal or state grants for projects such as terminal renovations or new boats, fares paid by consumers constitute most of the income. On the Nantucket route, passengers, autos, and freight provide nearly equal revenue shares.
The SSA’s five members meet monthly in public, alternating between the ports. Nantucket was the host port in September 2011 and June 2012, at the Whaling Museum’s Discovery Room courtesy of the Nantucket Historical Association. The seven Port Council members also meet monthly, alternating between Hyannis and Woods Hole.
The SSA management’s goal is to maintain vital service levels at the most efficient cost. A major expense has always been fuel oil, the price of which has become very volatile and approaches 10% of our entire budget. Other major costs are wages, health care benefits, and maintenance of vessels and terminals.
Total operating revenues for the year were about $80 million, while total expenses were about $78 million. At the end of June, passenger traffic was up about 6%, autos were up 3%, and truck traffic had increased about 6%. Our website redesign was unfortunately delayed past the summer of 2012, due to the complexity of accounting for so many different situations. Our current website is www.steamshipauthority.com. Some 45% of auto reservations are made online through that site. A potential merchandising program to generate additional revenue is under consideration.
Parking in Hyannis was re-arranged, limiting the number of year-round permits at the terminal and allowing more daily parking, resulting in increased revenues to benefit the Nantucket route. The offsite lots in Hyannis are less expensive for island residents. A shuttle service provides easy access.
The MV Eagle underwent the final phase of the mid-life renovation with much improved passenger space, restrooms, more computer outlets, and air conditioning. By all accounts the vessel is almost like a new one. Free Wi-Fi on our passenger vessels has proven to be popular.
We thank all of our employees from every department for the professionalism and the contributions they bring to their respective roles on a daily basis. It would not have been possible to provide another year of safe and reliable service without our employees’ collective dedication and commitment. In 2011 our vessel crews completed over 21,000 trips, 97% of all trips that had been scheduled. Most of the cancelled trips were due to adverse weather or sea conditions, with only 143 trips, or 0.7% of all scheduled trips, cancelled for mechanical reasons.

VISITOR SERVICES
The Visitor Services and Information Department was established to provide a quality experience for island visitors and residents. The Department’s budget consists of funding allocated from a percentage of the Local Room Occupancy tax paid by all licensed guesthouses and hotels. These licensed guest houses and hotels must collect state (5.7%) and local (6%) taxes which total 11.7%. The local share of 6% is then returned to the Town and the Nantucket Visitor Service’s Department budget is based on 30% of 4% of the local amount.
Visitor Services updated the annual Travel and Lodging brochure in partnership with the Nantucket Lodging Association. This brochure is available free to the public and lists all licensed bed and breakfasts along with general island information. It is available at the 25 Federal Street office, by calling (508) 228-0925, e- mailing [email protected] or downloading it from our website: www.nantucket-ma.gov/visitor.
Visitor Services continues to upgrade and manage its Comfort Stations located at 25 Federal Street and the seasonal Siasconset Station located at 1 Folger Court. These stations are maintained, supplied and serviced by Nantucket Visitor Services and continue to be user-friendly for both the visitors and residents on the Island.
Visitor Services helps to sponsor and organize the Fourth of July fireworks exhibition at Jetties Beach. This year, a viral fundraising campaign was started by Gene Mahon, Chairman of the Visitor Services and Information Advisory Committee, working with the Director of Visitor Services and the Advisory Committee. There also was additional assistance from the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce. The fundraising goal was reached with the help of a generous donation by an anonymous contributor along with many others. The efforts of all who assisted and the contributions concluded successfully with the Fourth of July fireworks being secured for the years 2011 and 2012. This year Visitor Services also continued its fundraising campaign by selling t-shirts to raise money. Visitor Services would also like to thank the Town Manager and the Town of Nantucket for their assistance in continuing an Island tradition.
Visitor Services promoted the sixth annual Christmas Light Decorating Contest for the residents. This year, the public nominated houses to be in the contest and the public also voted for the top three overall.
Visitor Services also created and produced, along with assistance from Jimmy Manchester, the first all comprehensive Town of Nantucket sponsored Fourth of July events brochure. Fourth of July is the busiest weekend of the season. The pamphlet provided a listing of all scheduled Town events, financial donors to the fireworks, NRTA bus info, helpful telephone numbers, restrooms, and a small map showing the locations of the all the events with their times.
The Visitor Center at 25 Federal Street continues to be the main office for providing information on activities, services, clubs, organizations, museums, businesses, lodging and restaurants as well as special events. The office welcomes over 60,000 visitors a year and serves as a daily referral service for available
Page 64 rooms including the helpful seasonal one night list and cancellations for holiday weekends. The office maintains lists of restaurant openings and closings and also keeps menus available to the public. The office is open year round - seven days a week in season, and closed Sundays, December through early June. For those traveling by boat, a satellite kiosk on Straight Wharf provides information to visitors and residents seven days a week in season.
Visitor Services now uses Twitter to provide updates on lodging, restaurants, and other important visitor information. Twitter is helpful in providing updates including room availability during busy weekends or inclement weather and the Fourth of July Fireworks status. Visitor Services will continue using and finding ways to use Twitter to assist both residents and visitors to the island. Join us and sign up at www.twitter.com/nantucketbuzz.

SIASCONSET WATER DEPARTMENT
The following activities are highlights of the fiscal year for the Siasconset Water Department.
The Water Commission awarded a contract to Penney Engineering to oversee the remediation of the metals in the soil around the New Street Standpipe that had been dismantled by Costello Dismantling Inc. Final soil testing has been completed and the soil is free of contamination and the final report was filed with and accepted by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.
Nelson Eldridge, Deputy Fire Chief for Sconset, inspected all of the fire hydrants and replaced the external bolts as needed. The Water Commission has taken steps to have the hydrants painted in late summer and early fall of 2012.
The Water Commission authorized their General Manager to begin negotiations with various cellular service providers for the installation of cellular transmitting equipment on the Milestone Road water tank.
Total production for the fiscal year was 61,946,000 gallons. This is an increase of 4,508,000 gallons (7.84%) over fiscal year 2011. The highest recorded consumption ever recorded for a single day was 627,000 gallons registered on July 8, 2011.
The Commissioners renewed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Nantucket Water Commission whereby the Wannacomet Water Company will continue to provide certified operators as well as administrative and operational support.
The Water Commission would like to express its thanks to the residents of Siasconset, other Town departments, the Town Manager and the Wannacomet Water Company for their help and assistance throughout the year.

WANNACOMET WATER COMPANY
Mission Statement The Wannacomet Water Company shall strive to provide high quality drinking water that exceeds all established Federal and Commonwealth drinking water standards, provide the highest level of customer and water related support services achievable, educate and inform the public of the need to protect Nantucket’s water resources, and to accomplish this mission using prudent utility practices and responsible fiscal management.
The following highlights are illustrative of the manner and ways that the objectives outlined in the Mission Statement were achieved during Fiscal Year 2012.
Water Supply and Quality Total fiscal year production from all of the wells was 554,143,000 gallons. This represents a 4 percent increase from the previous fiscal year. The peak production day for the fiscal year was 3,481,800 gallons on July 30, 2011.
Phase II of the system extension to Madaket (North Cambridge Street, Tennessee Avenue and I and F Streets) was awarded to Holdgate Partners, Inc. and the project was completed in October of 2012.
The Washing Pond Standpipe underwent a major rehabilitation in the spring of 2012. The project entailed replacing the external access ladder with a stainless steel ladder and safety climb system, redesigning the mounting system for communications equipment on the top of the standpipe, a new cable tray and complete internal and external recoating. The contract for this project was awarded to Rockwood Corporation from Lyons Falls, New York, who bid $593,131. The workmanship and project management was outstanding and the final contract price was $572,000.
Operations and Engineering Under the direction of Chris Pykosz, Operations Manager, Wannacomet continues to strengthen its distribution system by installing new water mains to improve fire flows and circulation patterns. Upgrades have been undertaken and completed for water mains, services, gate valves and fire hydrants.
The meter upgrade program was initiated in 2011 and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2012. When completed, all water meters will be read from the office at 1 Milestone Road. The system will have the ability to track the water use patterns of individual accounts for a defined period of time. Programming of the meter MXU’s by Wannacomet staff has resulted in a $400,000 reduction in the overall project cost.
Page 66 Administration Under the direction of Business Manager Heidi Holdgate, Wannacomet continues to expand billing and payment options to its customers. Many customers are now taking advantage of receiving an E-bill rather than a traditional paper bill.
We urge you to visit our website at www.wannacomet.org. The website has many tips for water efficiency and an online water use calculator to help determine a customer’s water use patterns.
The Nantucket Water Commission and the Siasconset Water Commission renewed their Memorandum of Agreement whereby Wannacomet Water Company provides certified operators, technical and administrative support to the Siasconset Water Department.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the employees of the Wannacomet Water Company for their dedication and commitment to providing our customers with the safest and highest quality drinking water possible and excellent customer service. I also want to thank Nantucket Water Commissioners Nonie Slavitz, Nelson Eldridge and Allen Reinhard for their support and guidance.

PLANNING AND ZONING REPORTS
NANTUCKET PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
The Nantucket Planning and Economic Development Commission (NP&EDC) is recognized as one of 13 regional planning agencies in the Commonwealth. It was created as a request for a home rule petition under Article 5 of the Special Town Meeting of January 25, 1973. The Massachusetts legislature approved the petition as Chapter 561 of the Acts of 1973. The NP&EDC is unique among regional planning agencies in that it represents one town and one county and was established “In order to plan for the orderly and coordinated development and protection of the physical, social, and economic resources of the Island of Nantucket.” The Commission is advisory, making recommendations to “implementing bodies” that it may deem to be beneficial.
The NP&EDC is composed of 12 members, 9 from various Town agencies and three members at-large. During FY 2012, the NP&EDC continued its participation in the preparation of the state’s Ocean Plan, provided staff support for a variety of initiatives, including: development of the Brant Point Area Plan, continued implementation of the paper streets and “One Big Beach” programs, preparation of real estate articles, and assistance with right-of-way takings.
Transportation initiatives in FY 12 included: Completion of a half-mile long extension of the Cliff Road Bike Path from Crooked Lane to Sherburne Turnpike. It was built using a combination of local, state, and federal funding, as well as private contributions from the Westmoor Club. Finalization of the design and permitting and commencement of the construction of the Hummock Pond Road Bike Path. This entire project was expedited through a $500,000 private donation, additional pledged funds from the Friends of the Hummock Pond Road Bik Path, and voter approval of the remaining balance. Completion of the project is anticipated for June 2013. Submission of the preliminary design plans to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation for the first phase of the In-Town Bike Path. This section of the project has a number of environmental permitting challenges, but is anticipated to be built by summer 2015.
In late FY 2012 the NP&EDC began discussions with the BOS regarding a Memorandum of Understanding for consolidation of staff and services with Code Enforcement. Implementation of the consolidation, which included management of the newly formed Planning and Land Use Services (PLUS) department by NP&EDC staff, was underway at the close of the fiscal year.

NANTUCKET PLANNING BOARD
Authority is provided to the Planning Board through MGL Chapter 41 sections 81K-GG (the Subdivision Control Law), MGL Chapter 40A (the Zoning Act), and Chapter 139 of the Code of the Town of Nantucket. The primary roles of the Planning Board are to: act on applications for subdivisions, special permits, and secondary dwellings; provide recommendations to the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA); provide recommendations on zoning articles at town meeting; and adopt and administer the Master Plan, pursuant to MGL Chapter 41 section 81D.
In FY 2012, the Planning Board positively acted upon Approval Not Required and Approval Required subdivision plans resulting in the creation of 53 buildable lots. The Board reviewed 20 special permit applications, ten of which were modifications to existing permits. 28 new secondary dwellings were approved. The Planning Board regularly reviews ZBA applications and provides recommendations when an application involves significant planning issues.
Much of the long-range work of the Planning Board involves preparing warrant articles for town meeting. At the 2012 Annual Town Meeting, the Planning Board proposed a total of 19 articles, 16 of which were directly related to implementation of the 2009 Nantucket Master Plan and the remaining three were requested by other departments or citizens. All articles sponsored by the Planning Board were approved.
All expenses for the Planning Board were paid through the Planning Office budget line items for FY 2012. The Planning Board collected total revenues, primarily comprised of application filing fees, in the amount of $42,107.05. Filing fees are deposited directly into the Town Treasury's General Fund. The Planning Board also requires engineering inspection fees to fund professional inspections of infrastructure improvements associated with subdivision and special permits as necessary. Unspent balances are returned to applicants upon the completion of construction and the final inspection. In FY 2012 the Planning Board collected $59,819.15 in engineering inspection fees.
In association with subdivision and special permit approvals, the Planning Board negotiates public infrastructure improvements that generally include sidewalk or bike path enhancements, the creation of on- street parking, roadway surfacing, or the extension of sewer and/or water service. In some cases the developer completes the work and makes a “gift” to the Town and in other cases the developer offers a monetary donation. Since 2005, approximately $4,064,000 has been generated for public projects that benefit the community.

Barry G. Rector Chairman
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
Massachusetts law mandates that where a community elects to restrict or regulate the rights of property owners through a zoning bylaw, “it shall provide for a zoning board of appeals.” The Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals exists because, in 1972, Nantucket voters chose to adopt a zoning bylaw at the Annual
Page 69 Town Meeting. The bylaw’s purpose is to “promote the health, safety, convenience, morals and general welfare of Nantucket’s inhabitants, to lessen the danger from fire and congestion and to improve the town...” Chapter 139 of the Code of the Town of Nantucket sets out the powers and duties of the ZBA and for the most part parallels the power and duties set out for such boards by Commonwealth law.
The ZBA has the power to grant variances and special permits, and hear and decide appeals from certain decisions of the Building Commissioner or Zoning Enforcement Officer. Variances may be granted under narrowly defined circumstances where “owing to circumstances relating to the soil conditions, shape, or topography of [the] land or structures” which are unique to that land or structure and do not generally affect other land or structures within the same zoning district. The ZBA also considers how a literal enforcement of the bylaw would involve substantial hardship to the landowner. The bylaw further restricts variances to situations where “granting relief would not result in substantial detriment to the public good or derogate from the intent and purpose of the bylaw.” A variance is not generally considered appropriate if a landowner creates his/her own hardship.
Special permits may be granted by the ZBA for any number of structural alterations, to waive certain requirements, or to allow certain uses. Depending on the type of relief requested, the ZBA makes such findings as to whether the proposed uses or waivers are in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Bylaw. In the case of an expansion or alteration of a pre-existing, nonconforming use or structure, the ZBA must find first whether the project entails an increase in the nonconforming nature of the property, and then find that said expansion or alteration is not substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconformity. The majority of applications for special permits seek permission to alter or expand “pre-existing, nonconforming structures or uses”. This results from the fact that most lots and dwellings in many zoning districts, particularly in the downtown and mid-Island areas, were existing from a time prior to the 1972 enactment of the Zoning Bylaw, which in most cases makes a property “grandfathered“, or protected from having to be brought into compliance with current Zoning Bylaws. The ZBA receives a significant number of applications seeking relief from parking and loading zone requirements. The ZBA is empowered by the Zoning Bylaw to waive up to 100% of the off-street parking and loading zone requirements in all zoning districts by special permit. In addition, many residential areas contain properties that are used for commercial purposes that pre-date 1972 and any changes to those uses require special permit relief.
In fiscal year 2012, the ZBA considered 86 applications, up from the 69 considered in fiscal year 2011. Of the 86 applications, the ZBA granted eight variances, heard two appeals, and granted 69 special permits. Six of these applications were withdrawn and one was denied. The ZBA also granted a MGL 40B Comprehensive Permit after an eight-month hearing. ZBA members are appointed by the Board of Selectmen in staggered terms of five years for regular members and three years for alternate members. In fiscal year 2012, Edward Toole served as Chairman, Lisa Botticelli served as Vice-chairman, and Susan McCarthy served as Clerk. Also serving were Michael J. O’Mara and Kerim Koseatac, with Mark Poor, Michael Angelastro, and Geoffrey Thayer as alternates. The Zoning Board of Appeals would like to thank Dale Waine for his many years of service on the Board.

Edward Toole Chairman

PUBLIC SAFETY REPORTS
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Nantucket Fire Department (NFD) personnel was challenged in FY 2012 with incidents such as a large scale propane accident involving a 3,500 gallon bobtail truck fire that quickly spread to two dormitory housing units, a motor vehicle accident involving multiple victims, and building structure issues involving a deck collapse injuring several people. Ambulance services were up 13% compared to last year. Fire alarm activations were down by 3% and inspectional services were up by 7%, resulting in an increase in total runs for FY 2012.
Members of the NFD, in conjunction with the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services, Barnstable Fire Academy, and Cape and Islands Emergency Services completed training and updating of the following: Office of Emergency Medical Services 28 hour refresher; on-going EMS training of several required curriculum and certifications; a two-day intensive advanced vehicle extrication; and training involving live propane fires addressing fire department procedures and response.
On May 8, 2012 the NFD sponsored a hazardous materials drill with District 1 Massachusetts Department of Fire Services Hazardous Material Response Team. The state team consisted of 25 hazardous material technicians and two hazardous material response vehicles. The purpose of the drill was to test the capabilities of Distinct 1’s Haz-Mat Team operations in conjunction with the NFD. The drill was done in real time; neither the NFD nor the state technicians had any issues in completing all objectives.
Maintaining a high level of training is crucial for the NFD. This enables us to safely and professionally handle various emergencies we encounter through the year.
Fire Suppression/EMS Responses/Inspections The Fire Department responded to 3,681 requests for assistance over the year.
Calls for FY 2012 Fire 41 EMS 1,255 Hazardous Condition 324 Service Call 358 Alarm Activations 990 Inspections 713
Fire Prevention/Fire Alarm/Code Enforcement Public education is the most pressing responsibility of a pro-active fire prevention program. The Fire Prevention Officer is responsible for presenting organized fire prevention and safety programs to students in grades K-12 on a continuing basis, as well as educational programs to other age groups. The Fire Prevention Officer develops additional programs to reach all sectors and ages of the community and oversees the delivery of such programs. Requests from preschools, health care facilities, older adult residential housing, civic associations, and private industry are accommodated to communicate the
Page 71 fire/safety message. Included in these programs are facility emergency planning and the execution of fire drills and fire extinguisher training to reinforce effective response to fire emergencies.
The Fire Prevention Officer and Fire Alarm Superintendent Office share the duties of annual inspections of businesses requiring commercial occupancy inspections. Working in conjunction with the Planning and Land Use Service Inspectors, businesses are inspected for exit signs, emergency lighting, fire doors, safe housekeeping practices, current inspections of fire extinguishers, commercial hood systems, and fire alarm systems as well as proper storage of combustible materials and all other hazards to life and safety. The recent addition of a commercial inspection checklist with duplicate copies for business owners clarifies requirements and allows for individualized recommendations. In addition to commercial inspections, inspections are required prior to the sale of all residential homes. These inspections include verification of proper installation and the testing of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
Over the course of the past year the concentration has been on working with new commercial projects to get the businesses open and operating. With the changes to many downtown businesses over the winter of 2012 there were extensive renovation projects underway for many of our commercial properties. By working hand-in-hand with the owners and contractors these businesses were able to successfully complete renovations, including the upgrades to the safety systems within the properties. The continuation of the upgrades to the municipal fire alarm system has continued. By June of 2013 the changeover of Siasconset Gamewell alarm system will have been completed. Those properties that were on the system have been converted to either private alarm companies or connected to the Town via the radio reporting system. The changeover of this system, and the conversion to the radio receivers, increases the Town’s capabilities while reducing the impact of maintenance to an aging and outdated system. The NFD will continue to work with all commercial businesses and building owners in developing a timely process to continue upgrading the municipal fire alarm system.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW The Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency for the Town of Nantucket, charged with the responsibility to insure the safety of all persons in the Town through the enforcement of the criminal and civil laws of the Town and the Commonwealth. The Police Department has the following primary responsibilities: Protection of lives and property of all citizens Preservation of the peace Prevention of crime and disorder Identify and prosecute violators of the law Plan for and supervise public safety at special events Respond to all emergencies Support regional and national homeland security strategies The protection of the individual rights of all persons within the Town of Nantucket
The Police Department is divided into three divisions under the supervision of the Chief of Police: the Administrative Support Division, the Operations Division, and the Marine Safety Division. The Operations Division provides the direct services to the general public and is responsible for the enforcement and prevention objectives. The Administrative Support Division provides support functions for those direct services for both members of the Department and the general public including oversight of the Emergency Communications Center (e911), the public safety IT network, and the Town-wide telecommunications systems. The Marine Safety Division is new to the department this year. It is responsible for the supervision
Page 73 of waterways operations, public beaches, moorings, the Town Pier, aids to navigation, shellfish enforcement, and the lifeguard program. The Police Department also oversees the Emergency Management function for the Town of Nantucket.

DEPARTMENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS Completed Phase II of the e911 Call Center and Police Dispatching (seven dispatchers hired and one supervisor promoted, bringing the dispatch staffing level to eight non-sworn employees). The Citizens Police Academy, designed to provide an opportunity for members of the community to become informed on the capabilities and duties of their police department, graduated two classes of graduates in FY 2012. All Town departments became part of the 800 MHz Radio System when the Fire Department and DPW went live this fiscal year. The Police Department assumed administrative control over the Marine and Coastal Resources Department in a consolidation designed to increase efficiency and improve services. One stop permit window opened at the Public Safety Facility. Hours of operations extended to 12 hours per day, 7 days a week during the peak season.
FY 2013 GOALS Continuing progress toward full implementation of Phase III of the Central Dispatch Project. The Emergency Communications Center will assume primary dispatching responsibilities for the Nantucket Fire Department. Scheduled to take place July 1, 2013. Continue to develop and implement new internal policies.
Page 74 Begin to develop a comprehensive long-term Capital Improvement Plan for all police and marine equipment and facilities. Explore the feasibility of putting lifeguards at some Town-owned beaches not currently provided lifeguard services for the 2012 season.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT Town Manager Libby Gibson appointed Dave Fronzuto as the new Emergency Management Coordinator for the Town effective April 2012 as part of the reorganization of Nantucket’s Public Safety agencies. Mr. Fronzuto served for many years as the Marine Superintendant overseeing the Town’s waterfront. Congratulations Dave on your new assignment.
Dave has been assigned to work with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials as they rework the flood zone maps for the Island. He has also been working hard so that Nantucket can earn designation as a “storm ready community” by NOAA and the National Weather Service. This designation, expected sometime in 2013, will demonstrate the Island’s commitment to saving lives and protection of infrastructure. Emergency Management is also working to improve our pre-disaster preparation by conducting table top exercises for Town departments. These exercises will help Town directors identify weaknesses in our response plans to disasters.
MARINE AND COASTAL RESOURCES The Marine and Costal Resources Department was consolidated with the Nantucket Police Department in April 2012. Sheila Lucey was promoted to the position of Harbormaster and is responsible for the supervision of waterways operations, the Town Pier, moorings, beaches and lifeguard program, as well as the shellfish warden program. The shellfish propagation, endangered species reporting, and water quality responsibilities of the former department were moved to the new Natural Resources Department.
Waterways Operations During the peak season, July and August, an average of 3,100 boats moored in Nantucket waters. The response calls for search and rescue, oil pollution containment and clean-up, assisting disabled vessels, and mooring placement grow every year. These diverse issues require advanced preparation and training by the department’s personnel.
Harbormaster Sheila Lucey and Assistant Harbormaster Ken Lappin prepared and placed 108 Aids to Navigation, marking all the channels in Nantucket Harbor, Children’s Beach Auxiliary Channel, Polpis Harbor, and Madaket Harbor. Additionally the entrance into Tuckernuck and all major rock hazards were marked. All of the positions of the local aids to navigation are properly registered with the U.S. Coast Guard and are updated annually in the USCG Light List. The department responded to over 600 calls for assistance, logging over 700 hours underway on the department’s three patrol boats.
Beach Management During June 2011 the department trained and staffed the beaches with 32 lifeguards, under the supervision of Jeff Carlson, Natural Resources Coordinator. All of the guards again this year were certified as First Responders in accordance with Massachusetts General Law. The guards performed admirably in high-surf conditions (no patrons lost), treated 115 requests for first aid, and assisted in the recovery of four missing persons. The department coordinated with all of the local, state and federal agencies for fireworks displays
Page 75 held at or off Jetties Beach. This enormous effort provides the required level of protection of nesting birds and their chicks.
Shellfish/Water Quality The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Division of Marine Fisheries awarded Nantucket its 15th consecutive pump-out grant for $20,000. The “Headhunter” which has a capacity in excess of 550 gallons is a valuable asset to the department. The department removed 27,512 gallons of effluent from 589 vessels on moorings. This is truly an important water quality initiative. This is a joint effort with the Nantucket Boat Basin which together removed over 100,000 gallons of sewage from vessels moored in Nantucket waters.
The recreational scalloping began on October first with approximately 350 people fishing on opening day in Madaket and Town. On November first commercial scallop season began with an average of 50 fishermen working Nantucket waters. The opening day price was $12.00 per pound, with a season average of $11.50 during the five month season. The total landing for the 2011-12 Season was 19,280 bushels.

SCHOOL REPORTS
This report is a summary of school departments for FY 2012: July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 and was prepared by Superintendent W. Michael Cozort with input from each school or department.
NANTUCKET PUBLIC SCHOOLS
World Class Learning: We Learn, Grow and Care Through Rigor, Relevance and Relationships
The 2011-2012 academic year was an outstanding year for the Nantucket Public Schools! We accomplished a great deal, among them the completion of the NPS Strategic Plan and, foremost, the stabilization of the district administrative team. We were pleased in January to bring in a new Director of Curriculum and Assessment, Ms. Chris Tyrie, who has helped us re-examine our curriculum in light of the rollout of the national Common Core. With the hiring of Kimberly Kubisch as the Nantucket Elementary School Principal and the shift of Michael Horton into the Associate Principal role, we believe we have brought strength and constancy to that building. Ms. Kubisch has a strong background in literacy and Mr. Horton in mathematics. Combined with Nina Slade who has a background in reading and special education, we have a dynamic and balanced administrative team in that building for years to come. The middle school is under the capable leadership of Scott Meadows and Nantucket High School’s John Buckey was selected as the Massachusetts High School Principal of the Year by the Massachusetts Secondary School Administrators Association in conjunction with MetLife.
We are fortunate to have students who daily demonstrate excellence in the classroom, on the playing fields and in their extra-curricular and volunteer activities. We are extremely proud of all of our graduates. Our students do a number of things after graduation: some travel; a few take an extra year of prep school; some go directly into the world of work; and many of our students have been accepted to a number of prestigious universities this year, including Harvard, Princeton, Middlebury, Stanford, Cooper Union and Virginia. We are equally proud of those students who are the first in their family to go to college. Clearly, students who go through the Nantucket Public Schools can, if they work hard, go anywhere!
We are also fortunate to have so many caring and gifted educators and support staff. They give generously of their time and expertise, both inside the classroom and out. In addition to knowing and teaching their subjects well, they often are club and activity sponsors, coaches and confidants. They care deeply about our children and take pride in providing a learning atmosphere that promotes intellectual challenge and emotional well being.
The school district continues to maintain relationships with local organizations and agencies: the Nantucket Historical Association, the Egan Institute, the Maria Mitchell Association, the Boys and Girls Club, and Strong Wings are among the community organizations that provide students with enrichment opportunities.
Our schools have seen a dramatic increase in enrollment in the past three years, climbing from 1,233 in October of 2009 to 1,336 in June of 2012.

Nantucket Public Schools MCAS Scores The Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) is the Commonwealth’s state-wide assessment program, developed as part of the Education Reform Act of 1993. The focus of the MCAS is to evaluate students’ knowledge of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. Every public school student, including students with disabilities, must participate in the MCAS. Furthermore, schools and districts must make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in student performance on the MCAS as part of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001. AYP targets are based upon the goal for grade level aggregates in grades 3-8 and grade 10 to attain a Composite Performance Index (CPI) score of 100 (proficient) in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics by the year 2014. Students in grade 10 must earn a proficient score to earn a high school diploma. Retest opportunities are provided in grades 11 and 12 for students not earning a proficient score in the grade 10 test administration.
Students in grade 5 and 8 also participate in the science and technology/engineering assessment. Students in grades 9 and 10 have the option of choosing one science test in the areas of Biology, Chemistry, Introductory Physics, or Technology/Engineering to earn a proficient score to meet state graduation requirements.
Highlights of Nantucket’s achievements as a district in the 2010-2011 school year resulting from the MCAS given during the spring of 2011 are as follows: A review of groups of students moving through the schools shows that, over time, students improve their MCAS scores between grade 3 and grade 10. 96% of high school sophomores scored Proficient or higher for ELA. 73% scored Proficient or higher in Math. Nantucket High School has been designated a Level 1 (highest) school indicating that all students have met their MCAS targets. The score of 90 achieved by all students was 15 points higher than the target. CPS has been designated a Level 2 school indicating that students met most, but not all, of their MCAS targets. A new accountability system sets an overall MCAS target score of 75 and although
Page 79 the largest student subgroup exceeded the target with a score of 81, when the scores of all students were considered, the school was two points below the target with a score of 73. NES has been designated a Level 2 school indicating that students met most, but not all, of their MCAS targets. Based on a new accountability system which sets an overall MCAS target score of 75, all students exceeded the target with a score of 76. However, the high-needs student subgroup (includes ELL and students with special needs) had a score of 69. The overall school district has maintained its designation as a Level 2 district by the state. Level 1 designates that the entire district is performing proficiently, while Level 5 may call for a state take- over or mandate to contract with an outside agency to turn the district around.
Nantucket Elementary School 2011-2012 was another busy year at Nantucket Elementary School. The new administrative team was in place – Kimberly Kubisch, Principal; Nina Slade, Associate Principal grades Pre-K – 2; and Michael Horton, Associate Principal grades 3-5. Through collaboration and significant professional development, the teachers: continued to embrace Responsive Classroom as the classroom management model for the school; continued to refine the standards-based report card; implemented Math Expressions for the third year as the core math program; participated in ELL Category training, and began to use the new Language Arts Program - Houghton-Mifflin Journeys.
To support staff with boosting student engagement in their learning, all classrooms had SMART interactive whiteboards installed. Professional development was provided and teachers worked together to support all of their learning in using this very innovative technology. Our Pre-K teachers were also awarded the Nantucket Golf Club Excellence in Teaching Prize for their proposal to create a playground inside our courtyard. This playground will be accessible for students during the school day only, and the equipment is specialized to support those students with different challenges.
The NES staff collects and utilizes a great deal of student performance data. The web-based data warehouse, AIMS web, was used to collect and analyze reading and math student performance data throughout the year. Teachers also began to utilize assessments with the Journeys resource, as well as Fountas and Pinnell Reading Benchmark Assessments. The Fountas and Pinnell tool allows NES teachers to use the same assessment tool across all grade levels.
Our school provides support for learning for students across the spectrum, from those with special learning needs to students who speak English-as-a-Second-Language to those children who are advanced. Nantucket Elementary School hired after-school MCAS tutors through Title I Supplemental Education Services funds. Students were selected based upon low MCAS performance. In collaboration with the Nantucket Community School, we also held an after school homework club. A new ELL teacher was hired to assist students in need of English Language Learning. The population requiring these services has grown. Francie Baskett continues to be the school’s ISLE program teacher for students with special talents or areas of interest.
In addition, we have two substantially separate specialized learning classrooms to help meet the needs of students with learning challenges. Nantucket Elementary School continues to utilize an Options Program in collaboration with the Walker Partnership designed to meet the needs of students diagnosed with emotional disabilities. This program provides the opportunity to receive a modified educational program on the island.
Page 80 Cyrus Peirce Middle School During the 2011 – 2012 school year staff and students continued the school’s focus on instruction and began laying the seeds for programming which would foster a positive school climate.
The mission of Cyrus Peirce Middle School is to prepare students to grow intellectually and socially in a supportive yet challenging environment and to provide them with 21st century skills for success in high school and beyond. In order to carry out this mission the faculty and community stakeholders collaborated early in the school year to assess current programs, identify areas of improvement and establish goals to work towards. Overall strengths identified through the school improvement process characterized Cyrus Peirce Middle School as a strong student-centered middle school with a solid sense of community for all and a positive environment for students and the community.
Moving forward, staff and stakeholders continued to place instruction and increasing student achievement as the greatest priority. To that end, events and programs were developed throughout the school year to continue to increase the quality of the middle school experience. Administration and staff began the work to implement two initiatives for the 2012-13 school year. The first is MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) which is an assessment system aimed at determining student strength and weaknesses in language arts and math. Representatives from the school made a site visit to a Massachusetts school where MAP has been implemented in order to understand the logistics as well as the value of such an assessment system. Further work continued through the end of the school year and the assessments will be conducted as part of a pilot plan for the 2012-13 school year. The second initiative is PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports). PBIS is a school-wide system of support that includes proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school environments. Staff worked to develop a continuum of positive behavior support for all students within a school in areas including the classroom and non-classroom settings (such as hallways, buses, and restrooms). The overall goal of implementing such a program is to build consistency for students in the school so that students can work and achieve in an environment conducive to learning.
Transitions continued to be a focus for the school just as it is for middle school students entering the sixth grade or leaving for high school. Staff at Cyrus Peirce Middle School held the second Sixth Grade Registration Fair for parents to inform them of the programs offered in middle school. To assist in preparing the rising sixth grade students, we continued with the Jump Up Day to great success. Both events serve as a way to orient incoming students and their families to the building and the staff. The Jump Up Day also allowed the school the opportunity to partner with Nantucket organizations such as the Maria Mitchell Association and the UMass Field Station to provide meaningful supplemental educational experiences.
In addition to reaching out to community organizations, middle school staff worked to build supportive relationships with its families through increased attendance at Principal’s coffees and through informational activities such as the MCAS Potluck Dinner, Summer Reading Potluck, and Registration Fair.
Throughout the school year, the work of our students and staff did not go unrecognized. Examples of excellence included eight seventh and eighth grade students selected to participate in the three week Advanced Studies in Leadership Program through Mass Maritime. In addition, the end of the school year saw the recognition of several students as part of the National Junior Honor Society. These students were inducted during the 2012-13 school year as part of an organization to promote academic excellence and student leadership.
Page 81 Nantucket High School Nantucket High School had a solid year of achievement. 100% of students taking the English Language Arts MCAS test passed on their first try. Tests in mathematics and science also saw growth in scores. Several students were recognized outside of NHS for their academic achievement, including two earning the opportunity to participate in the National Merit Qualifying Program. One NHS student achieved a perfect score on the critical reading SAT test. The Principal’s List Breakfast continued to see a record number of students qualifying each quarter. Community partnerships were a significant part of the educational experience for our students. Nantucket High School partnered with many island businesses and organizations through our School to Career Program. NHS worked with the Chamber of Commerce to offer a Job Fair in the spring. Nantucket Historical Association, Mariah Mitchell, and the Nantucket Comedy and Film Festivals were invaluable partners in providing extended learning opportunities for NHS students. As a learning community, the faculty and staff spent the year working to prepare a pre-self study report for continued accreditation with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEAS). To that end, the staff, working collaboratively, established our core values, beliefs and 21st century learning expectations. Whaler Pride was selected as the acronym to articulate those values and beliefs – We, as a NHS learning community, value and believe in: High standards and challenging curricular coupled with appropriate support, Academic achievement, Learning as a collaborative, creative and adaptable process, Effort, Responsibility, Providing opportunities for 21st century academic, social and civic success, Respect, Integrity, Dedication, determination, and self-discipline, and Engagement as diverse learners and involved citizens. We received feedback from NEASC in June commending us for our work and continuing our accreditation as we prepare for the decennial visit and the self-study process over the next two years. We expanded our Advanced Placement program adding three new courses – chemistry, statistics and English Language. The number of students participating in our AP program increased over the last year. Our School Council continued to monitor academic achievement and the safety and security of our school, staff, students and programs.
In June, Mr. Buckey led 92 graduates through graduation exercises, replete with a keynote address from Wendy Schmidt, island philanthropist and founder of ReMain Nantucket. The class of 2012 enjoyed an unprecedented and impressive list of college acceptances. The list of colleges, universities and schools accepting graduates from the NHS class of 2012 included half of the eligible Ivy League schools, prestigious culinary schools, art schools and technical institutes, as well as representative post-secondary schools from across the US including universities on both coasts - Duke to Stanford. The class of 2012 saw more than 80% of graduates continue on to some form of post-secondary education. Eve Manghis, going on to Harvard University, and Cody Perry, attending Boston College, were named Nantucket Golf Club Foundation scholars. Nantucket High School graduates from 2012 and across many earlier years once again benefited greatly from the unending benevolence and generosity of our island community in terms of scholarships, which totaled well in excess of a half million dollars.
Special Services The Special Services Department at Nantucket Public Schools is committed to an inclusion philosophy in which children with special needs are integrated into our regular education classrooms and co-curricular activities whenever possible. This approach is not only mandated by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, but helps all of our students learn as a community of individuals with unique strengths and challenges. When special services are provided in classrooms, in our activities, and on our playing fields, all students benefit.
Page 82 System-wide services for students, ages 3 – 22, include academic classroom support, behavioral classroom support, specialized instruction in individualized or small group settings, substantially separate programming for students with significant special needs, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, physical therapy, behavioral therapy, parent consultation, counseling, social skills instruction, early intervention support, extended school year services, assessment and diagnosis.
Program focus areas during the 2011-2012 school year included the implementation of the STEPS Program and implementation of the re-designed Language-Based Learning Disabilities (LBLD) Program at CPS. The STEPS program at CPS is a substantially separate, therapeutic classroom for students who have been identified with significant emotional and behavioral challenges. The program is designed for approximately five to eight students who will receive academic instruction, social skills development, counseling and intensive behavioral supports. Each student’s program will be individually developed with opportunities to participate in regular education programming as much as possible. The district consulted with Walker Partnerships of Needham for assistance throughout the year as the program evolved and became established. The Special Services Department also continued its focus on the CPS Language- Based Learning Disabilities Program. This program provides meta-cognitive, language-based instruction for identified students both in the regular classroom and, as necessary, in small instructional groups. The District continued to work with Ann Larson of Landmark Associates for consultation and design.
Approximately 232 students were provided services in our local schools through an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) during 2010-2011. This represents about 17.7% of our student body and is consistent with the state average. In addition, approximately 10 students were provided services in residential treatment facilities. Students are placed in residential schools when their learning and safety needs are so significant that the local schools are unable to provide appropriate services.
In addition to students who have Individualized Education Plans, there are approximately 60 students who receive classroom accommodations in accordance with 504 Accommodation Plans.
A new classification of student that the district has begun tracking this year are students who have been identified as both a Student with a Disability and a Student with Limited English Proficiency (SWD/LEP). Providing appropriate remedial supports for academic learning as well as supports for language development is challenging for both our special needs department and our ELL department. There are approximately 21 students who are classified as SWD/LEP.
Technology Department The Nantucket Public Schools technology department is responsible for all infrastructure, systems, applications, classroom tools, repair and maintenance, coordinating mandated state and federal data collection and reporting, and staff professional development in the use of these systems and applications. The focus of the technology department is to provide the technology infrastructure as well as administrative and classroom tools to enrich the experience of our students. During the school year 2011-2012 the district purchased 36 desktop computers, 39 laptops, 28 netbooks, 11 iPads, 29 SMARTBoards and 20 projectors for classroom use. These acquisitions included the replacement of aging desktop and laptop computers and the addition of iPad tablets and SMARTBoards. Wireless network coverage was increased to cover the entire campus to accommodate the growing use of laptops, tablets and other mobile devices. SMARTBoard interactive whiteboards were used at all grade levels in ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies and World Language classrooms. Document cameras, computer connected devices that display standard pages and three dimensional objects on a screen or SMARTBoard and capture images to a computer program, were
Page 83 used at NES and CPS. A mobile lab using netbook computers was introduced at CPS. The use of tablets, such as the iPad, increased at NES and it is anticipated this will be a growing trend over the next few years. Staff Professional Development focused on the use of the SMARTBoards, the Kurzweil reading program and the district website program, SchoolCenter. Overall, the district made progress on the replacement of aging equipment and adding more interactive and mobile tools to those already available to teachers and students while maintaining inventory for administrative and support tasks.
Facilities Department This department works diligently to keep our buildings and grounds clean and safe for the use of our students, staff and community. We have been fortunate to receive a capital budget which allows us to maintain our buildings adequately. In addition to renovating classrooms, upgrading technology infrastructure and replacing lighting and roofs, we have made improvements in our playing fields and pool over the past few years. We are presently scheduled to add air conditioning to our high school auditorium, something long sought by our constituencies. We also expect to have our Large Group Instruction (LGI) area completely overhauled and ready for use in September of 2013.
Nantucket Community School 2011-2012 proved to be another fabulous year of quality collaboration between the Nantucket Community School and Nantucket Public Schools. Under our outgoing director’s high-quality professionalism and heart- centered leadership, Pauline Proch was able to utilize our talented NCS team members to expand programming and offer a wide assortment of activities to all members of the Nantucket community. We ended the summer of 2012 with a fond farewell to Pauline in her new role as Executive Director with Egan Maritime Institute and welcomed Caitlin Waddington as our newest director.
Our Nantucket Community School programs were exceptionally busy throughout 2011-2012. Community members of all ages enrolled in all types of enrichment opportunities including meditation/ecology walks, language classes, culinary arts, antiques and history courses, computer software classes, GED testing, driver’s education, personal awareness and aerobics. Our youngest Nantucketers and their families enjoyed parenting classes, school readiness programs, literacy-based play groups and drop-in hours at our Early Childhood Center. Our Extended Day, Arts and Discovery, and Summer Camp enrichment and sports programs were also filled to the brim with the healthy, smiling faces of our beautiful, wildly active, incredibly brilliant children and youth.
Our Community Pool provided many opportunities for those young and old. The pool offers recreational, fitness, and learning experiences. We are open to the public for Adult Lap and Family Swim and offer a variety of membership options to the public. We continue to offer American Red Cross “Learn to Swim” classes for ages three and a half years old and up. Our public school students from grade three up to high school seniors had access to swim classes within their P.E curriculum. Our competitive youth swim team the Dolphins offers children ages five to eighteen, six months of a competitive experience in the Southeastern Massachusetts Swim League. The Community Pool is also the home to the Nantucket High School Varsity Swimming and Diving team. Our popular Aquacise and Hydrofitness program, offered to our adult swimmers, was well attended year-round three times a week.
The Nantucket Community School team appreciates ReMain Nantucket’s continued and generous support of our adult education programs in their provision of the Greenhound building during the fall, winter and spring. The completion of ReMain Nantucket’s building at 56 Centre is sure to set the stage for an even
Page 84 higher number of quality programs soon to be offered to the community in picturesque downtown Nantucket.
The Nantucket Community School is here to serve YOU. We want to grow and develop our programs based on your suggestions and ideas. Feel free to drop by, send an email or give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you! Please remember to visit our website regularly as new programs for ALL ages are posted as they arise, www.nantucketcommunityschool.org.
The Nantucket Public Schools have experienced a re-birth in the past two years, thanks to a stable administration, a dedicated faculty, supportive parents and students who strive to excel. However, we understand that we cannot afford to stand still or we risk getting left behind. We must continue to improve our facilities, expand our programming for all students and provide meaningful professional development for our faculty. In short, we must raise the standards for every student, parent and staff member. As educators, we know that this cannot be accomplished without the involvement and commitment of parents and the community-at-large. I thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the exciting changes taking place in our district and look forward to working with you toward our goal of continuous improvement.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF NON-VOTING TAXPAYERS
The purpose of the Advisory Committee of Non-Voting Taxpayers (ACNVT) is to convey to the governance of the Town of Nantucket the concerns of part-time Nantucket residents who vote in other jurisdictions. These residents of Nantucket pay approximately 80% of the residential real estate taxes collected by the Town.
During fiscal year 2012, six public meetings of the ACNVT were held beginning July 16, 2011 and ending June 30, 2012. During these meetings, the committee had the opportunity to hear from several members of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Health Officer, Civil League President, County Sheriff, Transportation Planner, the Town Manager and the Ad Hoc Fiscal Committee representative regarding issues facing the Town.
The committee worked diligently during the fiscal year and its members brought to the meetings reports of issues raised by the seasonal residents. For a two-way exchange directly between Town officials and seasonal residents, the Committee also co-sponsored (with the Nantucket Community Association) a fourth Summer Forum which was open to the public.
The committee reviewed the following matters/issues brought to its attention: Secondary dwellings Tick-borne diseases Tank farm safety review Preservation of natural vegetation Wastewater options Clean-up of water quality programs/ponds Town alternative energy initiatives – utility, cell phone coverage, in-Town bike path Sewer system

AGRICULTURAL COMMISSION
The Nantucket Agricultural Commission has worked diligently this past year to fulfill its mission of promoting, preserving and revitalizing Nantucket’s agricultural-based industry and lifestyle. Our membership is currently full and regular meetings well attended.
From July to October of 2011 we sent and received surveys from the majority of the Island's agriculture community members. With insight from these completed surveys we finalized our work plan in November and December. At the February 15, 2012 Board of Selectman's meeting our recommended work plan was presented and accepted.
This past spring and summer we have discussed which work plan goals to prioritize. During the February Selectmen’s meeting the topic of a community garden was discussed. We have continued that conversation throughout the year at our meetings. We have had an initial meeting with the Land Bank director to discuss land options, and are forming a set of recommendations for the establishment and operation of a centrally located community garden.
We have a "Farm Family Get-Together" planned for Sunday October 14, 2012 at Hummock Pond Farm. This is planned as a fun opportunity to meet, greet and talk about the future of Agriculture on the island over warm drinks and snacks.
Dylan Wallace has been acting as our Chairperson and Amy Zielinski as our Secretary. In the coming months we will continue the task of appointing officers, updating meetings agendas and minutes online and set our work plan priorities in motion.
Thank you for your support and for the opportunity to advocate for agriculture on Nantucket.

CEMETERY COMMISSION
The Nantucket Cemetery Commission was created by an act of the State Legislature on June 15, 2011, in order to grant clear oversight of the Town’s eight cemeteries. Meetings were held and the following mission statement and task list was adopted.
Mission Provide adequate space for the Town’s burial needs. Provide for the maintenance, in perpetuity, of the grounds and monuments in all of the cemeteries controlled by the Town of Nantucket. Provide complete and accurate records of those buried in Town controlled cemeteries. Develop record keeping procedures, systems, a plot and services price list, and regulations in order to assure the respectful committal of human remains on Nantucket.
Listed below are tasks the newly formed Nantucket Cemetery Commission will need to accomplish as the Town of Nantucket assumes stewardship of its cemeteries. Tasks are arranged to show where they fit the Commission’s Mission Statement.
1. To provide adequate space for burial needs, the Commission will: Develop an accurate listing of all known burials in Town controlled cemeteries and file maps and relevant records with the Town Clerk and the Nantucket Historical Association. Determine the number and location of available burial plots within Town controlled cemeteries. Determine the need for additional Town controlled cemetery space and make recommendation to the Selectmen/Town Manager if additional space is needed. 2. To provide for the maintenance, in perpetuity, of the grounds and monuments in all of the cemeteries controlled by the Town of Nantucket, the Commission will: Compile an assessment of the condition of each of the Town controlled cemeteries and issue a report to the Selectmen/Town Manager with recommendations for any improvements to the condition, safety and public access to Town cemeteries. Review the status of the three outstanding CPC grants relating to Town cemeteries and work with the CPC to assume administration of these grants in order to carry them to completion. Immediately consider the condition of Newtown Cemetery, construction of protective screening between the cemetery and the adjoining school athletic fields, public access, expansion possibilities and other improvements. Consult with Ivan Myjer (cemetery conservator) regarding continuing work on headstone repairs. 3. To provide complete and accurate records of those buried in Town controlled cemeteries, the Commission will: Work with record sources, the NHA and private cemeteries to compile an accurate record of local burials to be recorded with the Town Clerk. Create a system to record and maintain an accurate record of all future burials. 4. The Commission will develop record keeping procedures, systems, a plot and services price list, and regulations in order to assure the respectful committal of human remains on Nantucket.
Page 90 During fiscal year 2012, the Commission held regular meetings and site visits to assess the condition of the eight Town cemeteries under its control with a focus on Newtown and Polpis cemeteries. The committee issued a request for proposals to hire a consultant to determine expansion possibilities at Newtown and questions relating to burial space in other Town cemeteries. Plans were made to construct a berm on school property adjacent to Newtown Cemetery in order to shield the school busses now parked in the area and enhance the cemetery grounds.
It was discovered that the Town has more space than thought at Polpis Cemetery, although only cremains can be buried here because of possible native and other unrecorded burials on the site. The Committee will develop a plan for marking plots and developing regulations and rates for burial within Polpis.
Work and planning is continuing on all aspects of our task list, our highest priority being to determine current availability of space and a process for recording of burials in Town cemeteries, along with a list of regulations, fees and procedures. Agendas, minutes and other documents appear the Cemetery Commission page of the Town’s website. For FY 2012, the Cemetery Commission included the following members: Allen Reinhard, Chairman; Diane Holdgate, Vice Chairman; Georgen Charnes, Secretary; Edward B. Anderson; and Robert Gardner.

COMMISSION ON DISABILITY
The Nantucket Commission on Disability represents and advocates for the needs and interests of the disabled community living on or visiting Nantucket Island. It is the goal of this Commission for the disabled population to fully integrate and participate in the Nantucket Community. “Access for All” is our Commission’s objective. The Commission worked to accomplish the following goals in the fiscal year 2012:
Continued to work with the Town to improve access for disabled pedestrians on the sidewalks, crosswalks, and intersections throughout downtown and the surrounding areas. Continuation of the Disabled Parking Permit Program for disabled, Nantucket residents. Continue to communicate with Island businesses to raise accessibility awareness, and help them to improve access in their buildings. Work with the Building Department to ensure accessibility compliance of new and renovated commercial structures. Periodically provide information on services and products that may be helpful to the disabled, Nantucket population. Purchased portable ramps for disabled visitors to borrow while they are renting a Nantucket home. Most rental homes are not wheelchair accessible and these eight-foot, ten-foot, and threshold ramps allow disabled visitors to more easily access their Nantucket vacation home.
The Commission has set several priorities for fiscal year 2013. The Commission will continue to further the community’s awareness of accessibility issues, and strive to improve day-to-day living for the disabled
Page 91 population on Nantucket. In addition to continuing our past objectives, the Commission hopes to accomplish the following:
Continue to help educate the Island’s building industry in regards to accessibility concerns. Work with the Island’s preservation groups to create more outdoor, accessible recreational areas.

Milton C. Rowland Chairman
COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
In September 2000, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts enacted the Massachusetts Community Preservation Act (CPA). The CPA is the enabling statute that provides the authority for communities to establish a local Community Preservation Fund that derives its revenue primarily from a surcharge of up to 3% of the community’s local property tax. In April 2001, Nantucket became one of the first communities to adopt this act. This landmark statue provides cities and towns with an additional tool to preserve open space, preserve historic buildings and sites, and provide affordable housing. At least 30% of the annual receipts are dedicated with 10% going to each category and the remaining 70% dedicated for one or more of these purposes in accordance with local priorities. The Act also establishes a statewide Community Preservation Trust Fund drawn from a surcharge of $20 on most filings at the Registry of Deeds and land filings at the Land Court. These surcharges provide matching funds to communities and increase the dollars that can be spent on community preservation.
The Nantucket Community Preservation Committee makes recommendations to Town Meeting for the acquisition, creation and preservation of open space, the acquisition and preservation of historic resources, the creation, preservation and support of affordable housing for the community, the rehabilitation or restoration of such open space, historic resources, land for recreational use and community housing that is acquired or created. Since inception, more than $24 million in CPA funding has been awarded to various Nantucket initiatives which have fallen more or less equally within the three areas of focus of the CPA as follows: 37% for affordable housing, 35.6% for historic preservation and 24% for open space and recreation. 3.4% was used for administration purposes.
In fiscal year 2012, the CPC reviewed, assessed and ranked 10 applications for CPA funding for fiscal year 2013. Funding for 10 projects, totaling $2,934,975, was approved by the citizens of Nantucket at the 2012 Annual Town meeting as follows:
Open Space, Conservation and Recreation Open Space Reserves Reserve for future years $213,380 Nantucket Park and Recreation Commission Construction of project field house for multi-use field complex on Nobadeer Farm Road, phase 4 $385,000 Nantucket Hunting Association Creation of a conservation restriction on 18 acres of town owned land and
Page 92 funding of a $350,000 completion bond for the Shooting Park project, including the management of the conservation restriction $412,650 Sub-total $1,011,030
Community Housing Housing Nantucket Scattered site Community Preservation funded house maintenance program $150,000 Interfaith Council Housing and rental assistance program $115,000 Habitat for Humanity Nantucket Inc. Construct new Habitat for Humanity house on Sachem’s Path Project $200,000 Housing Assistance Corporation Site work and road utility infrastructure on Sachem’s Path Project $990,000 Town of Nantucket, Affordable Housing Trust Fund Construct two dwellings at 7 Surfside Road $160,000 Sub-total $1,615,000
Historic Preservation Nantucket Firemen’s Association Restoration of a 1937 American LaFrance pumper Fire Truck $80,000 Sir Isaac Coffin School, Prospect Hill Cemetery Association, and Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association Restoration of the three historic wrought iron fences $143,000 Sub-total $223,000
Administrative Community Preservation Committee Administrative and operating expenses $85,945 Sub-total $85,945
Total $2,934,975
In addition to the above funding amounts, voters at town meeting approved the following appropriation for the Nobadeer Farm Road Playing Fields: To see if the Town will vote under the Community Preservation Act, to raise and appropriate, borrow pursuant to any applicable statute, or transfer from available funds the sum of $1,100,000 ( One million, one hundred thousand dollars) to be spent by the Community Preservation Committee for the purpose of funding the creation and completion of land for recreational use, in particular, the construction of one artificial surface playing field, including all costs incidental and related thereto, at the Nobadeer Farm Road complex to complement the existing two grass playing fields previously funded and constructed with funds from the Community Preservation Committee; and as funding therefore to authorize the Treasurer, with the approval of the Board of Selectmen, to borrow said sum pursuant to the provisions of G.L. c44B, section 11 and G.L. c. 44, section 7 or any other enabling authority, and to issue bonds and notes therefore.
By the time that this report is printed, many of the above projects will be on their way to completion. Many more projects beckon in the future to preserve our precious community.
Page 93 The Community Preservation Act continues to offer a unique opportunity to fund community projects that would probably never be realized or take several years and significant financial burdens to complete.

HARBOR AND SHELLFISH ADVISORY BOARD
The Harbor and Shellfish Advisory Board (SHAB) is a seven-member elected board whose mission is to advise the Board of Selectmen on the duties of the Harbormaster, Shellfish Warden and Natural Resources Coordinator, and “other duties and responsibilities as may be necessary for the proper use and management of the water and Shellfish of the Town of Nantucket.”
In the first month or so of this year, with SHAB’s guidance, the Marine and Coastal Resources Department began its oyster grant with Andy Roberts and the Southeastern Massachusetts Aquaculture Center. Together, they are monitoring bottom cages at Pocomo Meadows in comparison to Mr. Ryder’s floating cages at the Head of the Harbor. SHAB also advised the Board of Selectmen in a letter of the many shortcomings of the 2010 Water Quality Report produced by SMAST and Dr. Brian Howes. And, SHAB re- appointed Dr. Peter Boyce, Doug Smith and Bam LaFarge to the Harbor Plan Implementation Committee to help complete the charge of the HPIC.
Responding to complaints by non-residents that the non-resident recreational shellfish license was too expensive at $100 annually, SHAB successfully appealed to the Selectmen to approve its recommendation for a non-resident recreational shellfish license for $50 good for one week. And after much discussion over several meetings, SHAB voted not to increase commercial shellfish license fees. But it did unanimously
Page 94 recommend to the Selectmen that it urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to choose “Option A” in the Comprehensive Conservation Plan for Great Point, the current management/take no action alternative. SHAB also endorsed then harbormaster Dave Fronzuto’s town meeting efforts to insert the word “resident” into the shellfish license bylaw requiring the free license be given to only year-round residents 60 and over and to provide a penalty for those who harvest shellfish from closed areas. Both articles were adopted.
On the shellfish grow-out front, SHAB supported the Town Shellfish Biologist’s hatchery and grow-out mission in Tanzania on the island of Zanzibar, and recommended that the Selectmen issue aquaculture permits for growing oysters in the harbor to Matt Herr, Simon Edwards and Ted Lambrecht. SHAB worked with Matt Herr, Whitey Willauer and the Nantucket Shellfish Association to build the foundation of a scallop seed stranding team and response protocol. SHAB also convinced Mr. Fronzuto to close off the seed- heavy area between Abram’s Point and the UMass Boston Nantucket Field Station to scalloping for the last three weeks of the 2011/2012 season.
In the form of a letter from former chairman Dr. Peter Boyce, we again opposed the proposed bills before the Massachusetts Legislature to close the commercial striped bass fishery. In another letter, Dr. Boyce on SHAB’s behalf, supported an amendment to commercial herring fishing restrictions in Area 1B, the fishing zone encompassing Monomoy Island up into the Gulf of Maine, which is the herring that Nantucket’s striped bass live on, requiring 100% observer coverage on mid-water trawlers at all times and daily catch reports.
In April 2012, SHAB elected Peter B. Brace as its new chairman, Doug Smith as vice chairman and Chuck Connors as secretary. SHAB also moved its meetings to the Community Room at 4 Fairgrounds Road from the Conference Room at 2 Fairgrounds Road and changed its meeting time from 4:30 PM to 5:00 PM on the first and third Tuesday of every month.
An ongoing effort of SHAB is to investigate the possibility of recovering a portion of the scallop shells discarded after opening for the purpose of curing, crushing and then returning them to harbors to help balance the pH in the water and augment the substrate for larval attachment; continue to support the Tuckernuck Land Owners Association and Bam LaFarge in their quest to build a public pier and landing on the east end of Tuckernuck somewhere in the lagoon; and continued to work on preventing moorings from being set in eelgrass beds/scallop habitat. SHAB also kept on the Nantucket Islands Land Bank about its plan to turn its land at Petrel Landing into a commercial wharf for fishermen to unload their catch on and for a dinghy dock along the south side of the wharf; supported the creation and vetting of the Shellfish Management and Coastal Management plans; and the work of the Article 68 Work Group.

NANTUCKET HISTORICAL COMMISSION
Members of the commission are Diane Coombs, Caroline Ellis, Jascin Finger, Phil Gallagher, and Deborah Timmermann.
The Historical Commission, charged under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40, Section 8d, has a mission to promote the preservation and protection of historic and prehistoric sites, landscapes, buildings, places, and districts of interest through the coordination and development of studies, plans and guides. The commission continues to work towards better implementation of existing criteria for historical preservation of buildings and land/archeological sites, and works towards creating new criteria for further preservation efforts on Nantucket.
The commission continues to concentrate on education to instill an awareness of the value in keeping interiors of structures intact as well as the exterior, and to work with homeowners and commercial building owners in guiding them in the process of placing interior restrictions on their homes. Also, the importance of the history of the land itself is being looked into further. We are working with the state level Massachusetts Historical Commission to better understand our duties and mandates so that we can better participate on the local level.

Deborah Timmermann Chairman
ROADS AND RIGHT OF WAY COMMITTEE
Our mission is to review any issues concerning the status of access over public and private roads, rights of way, abutters’ ways, proprietors’ roads, footpaths and any other ways throughout Nantucket County, and to make recommendations to the Board of Selectmen/County Commissioners to ensure and improve public access over them.
The vision of the Nantucket Roads and Right of Way Committee is to preserve access to Nantucket’s public and private lands, including our harbors, coastline, ponds, moors, conservation lands and historical sites. Access is one of the greatest gifts the Town of Nantucket can protect for our current and future citizens.
During fiscal year 2012, the Roads and Right of Way Committee undertook several new projects and initiatives. Beginning in July, we reported to the Board of Selectmen on the completion of Phase II of our Public Way Monument project, installation of 24 new granite monuments marking public ways around the island. Phase III of the project includes an alphabetical list of the locations of each new monument and the ten existing locations of concrete monuments placed in the 1970’s, along with the specific locations, a description and photograph of each monument. This project was completed in the spring and the document is available on our website.
Page 96 We also reported to the Selectmen progress with the management plan for the Sconset Foot Path and the plans to take several lateral ways from Baxter Road at the April town meeting. The taking articles were approved in April.
Our committee voted three priority recommendations for consideration by the Selectmen: 1) improvement to First Way from Hooper Farm Road to school property including a paved multi-use path for pedestrians and bicycles; 2) completion of a pedestrian sidewalk from the end of the Prospect Street path to Vestal Street; and 3) a bicycle connection linking the end of the Prospect Street path to the Madaket Bicycle Path and ultimately with the proposed Hummock Pond Road Bicycle Path. Our committee feels these are the two most dangerous areas for pedestrian and bicycle traffic on the island and need to be addressed in terms of public safety and public access. We have met with Mike Burns, Transportation Planner and Andrew Vorce, Planning Director, several times to assist with these issues and projects. We also support completion of the planned in-town bike route linking Washing Street Extension to Orange Street and the Rotary.
The committee voted to use part of our CPC grant to underwrite the Town’s update of the Open Space Plan. The project envisioned would be a sweep of the island to identify remaining “gaps” in public-access ways with the purpose of protecting and preserving public access, increasing public access in areas where it is needed, and ensuring that no public access be “lost” going forward, due to lack of oversight by the Town and County. A consultant was hired in the spring and work should be completed next fiscal year.
The Roads and Right of Way Committee was asked by the Town Manager to assist with development of an updated Encroachment Policy for the Town. We are working with Kara Buzanoski, DPW Director and ex officio committee member, to develop a new policy that prioritizes encroachments and has strong enforcement measures. Again the priority is public access and safety.
Our Nantucket Downtown Sidewalk Project has the goal of documenting the condition of sidewalks in the Town’s historic district, especially where there are gaps or conditions, including encroachments, where pedestrians are forced to walk in the street. The idea is to compile an assessment of existing sidewalks and develop a list of recommendations for possible improvements to enhance public access and improve safety.
Our committee also met with Planning Director Vorce to review paper road takings to determine whether any of the proposed parcels are needed for public ways or open space. We will also explore the route of the old railroad bed for the possibility of creating a walking path along parts of the route open to the public.
These projects are part of our Right of Way Improvement Plan, a guide we use as we work to clarify and improve the public’s right to access Nantucket’s lands. Our committee has a presence on the Town’s website www.nantucket-ma.gov under committees, on which can be found minutes of our meetings, the Right of Way Improvement Plan, “A History of Roads and Ways,” and other reports and information. Our meetings are open to the public and usually held on the third Tuesday of each month at 2 Fairgrounds Road at 4:00 PM.

SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE
The Town of Nantucket Scholarship Fund is funded by many generous taxpayers who contribute to the fund. Typically the fund receives between $4,000 and $6000, annually. The number and amount of awards are based on funds received in a fiscal year. There are many well qualified and deserving candidates, and a difficult decision must be made as to whom the funds will be awarded to.
This year the fund had the good fortune to receive a very generous donation from the Nantucket Triathlon LLC which enabled the committee to award more and larger scholarships.
The Committee would like to thank all the donors who contributed to the Town of Nantucket Scholarship Fund and made these scholarships possible. Donations to the fund may be made at any time through the Tax Collector’s Office and the Committee would encourage all to participate.
The following scholarships were awarded with fiscal year 2012 funding:
