The Board’s Annual Report for the year ending June 30, 2013 commenced with the Annual Town Election held in April 2012. At that time, the voters elected Bruce Miller as a new member of the Board. He joined continuing members Patty Roggeveen, Whitey Willauer, Rick Atherton and Bob DeCosta. The Board held its organization meeting and elected Ms. Roggeveen Chair and Mr. DeCosta Vice Chair. Two months later, on July 13, 2012, Mr. Willauer passed away. Whitey had been a tireless community leader and was serving his second term on the Board of Selectmen. His commitment to Nantucket, especially in matters related to the harbor, shell fishing, sailing and preserving the quality of water, are sorely missed. After some deliberation, the Board decided to await the next election to fill Whitey’s position and proceeded with four members. The Board manages it activities by holding weekly meetings, interfacing with the Town Manager, and networking with committees established by Massachusetts General Law, the Nantucket Bylaw and its own initiative. Through a coordinating system of liaisons, attendance at meetings and designated memberships, the Board is made aware of decisions and recommendations that impact its own initiatives. Goals for the coming year were adopted in August 2012: They included elements of fiscal planning, updating the wastewater and water quality plans and municipal-facilities planning. The goals prioritized the work of the Board, in addition to its ongoing responsibilities such as permit and license approvals, real-estate transactions, budget preparation, analysis of capital needs and, most important, responding to the ongoing concerns of Nantucket citizens. The Board’s goal related to fiscal planning led to frequent meetings of the Audit Committee and eventually the completion and submission to the Audit Committee on October 31, 2012 of an unqualified audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. This was after several years of late audits that were often qualified and included the identification of significant managerial weaknesses. In the area of wastewater and water quality, the Town Meeting approved the commitment of $750,000 to fund an update of Nantucket’s Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan. The expected completion date is December 2013. The Board also moved to set up a Sewer Advisory Work Group in June and tasked it to review funding options for future sewer improvements. A study group of interested citizens undertook to prepare a Shellfish Management Plan that will help guide the Town as it moves to assure the long-term viability of the Nantucket shellfish industry. The Board approved the plan in April.

Further in regard to clean water, the local initiative developed out the Article 68 Workgroup to develop a set of regulations to limit the runoff of nitrates from the use fertilizers was approved by the newly constituted Board of Health and became effective on January 1, 2013. Nantucket has led the state in this area and should be proud of its initiative. In June 2012 Town Administration established a Space Needs Work Group with the charge to review how to plan for the future space requirements of Town Departments, where they should be located with associated costs, and to make recommendations to the Board on how the resulting projects would be implemented. The Work Group met until October, when the new flood maps indicated possible issues with renovation of the downtown buildings. The 2012 Annual Town Meeting voted to support an appropriation of $3,200,000 to construct the Hummock Pond bike path, and the voters approved the override by ballot vote to complete the process. Community fundraising accounted for over $600,000 additional financing including one anonymous contribution of $500,000. This additional financial support is most appreciated. In October the Grand Union grocery store in the historic downtown announced its intention to close. The community learned that the owner of the property, Winthrop Corporation, was in discussions to lease the property to CVS. However, concerned citizens and the Board communicated to Winthrop that the community desired and needed a grocery store at that location. After a few weeks of uncertainty, Winthrop came to an agreement with Stop and Shop, and the remodeled store opened for the summer of 2013. The April 2013 Town Meeting adopted the Board and Finance Committee’s recommendation for operating budgets for the Town and its Enterprise Funds. The operating budget for FY 2014 funded the Town’s services within the expected revenue from recurring sources, requiring no operating override. That no operating override was necessary was helped by the vote of Town Meeting in 2010 to adopt the local options to increase the sales tax and the lodging tax. The 2014 budget followed budgets for fiscal years of 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 that also did not necessitate operating overrides. The municipal airport suffered a loss of revenue, and the Town has had to subsidize the Airport Enterprise Fund to meet its commitments. The newly constituted Airport Commission is working hard to address the issues and is developing a business plan to again be self-sufficient. During the year, several meetings included extensive discussions of entertainment licenses. Efforts were made through the licensing process to assure that balance between customer enjoyment of music on one hand and noise levels on the other that did not impair the quality of life was achieved. Attention to this matter seems to have been effective, resulting in fewer complaints received by the Board. The issue of appropriate service standards related to the taxi business was also the subject of several meetings and public hearings. After a number of attempts of ascertain if meters would help, the Board decided not to proceed with a regulation to require meters in taxicabs. Erosion and climate change are impacting Nantucket and its coastline. Specifically how to deal with the erosion of the bluff on the east side of Baxter Road remains a subject that presents differing approaches. The Town’s responsibility to provide access and utilities has to be balanced with a respect for the impacts of erosion control structures. Because the Town owns a portion of the land below the bluff it must be
Page 20
involved in the decision and approval process of any requests to the Conservation Commission to construct erosion control structures in that area. This was an agenda item on several meetings. The Town of Nantucket’s commitment to transparency has been expanded as more and more committees are meeting at the Public Safety Facility that enables high-quality video recording. The videos are archived and available on demand on the Town’s website for viewing, as are all agendas, minutes and other relevant documents. The election held in April 2013 saw two new members join the Board. Matt Fee and Tobias Glidden joined continuing members Atherton, DeCosta and Miller. Patty Roggeveen was thanked for her two terms as a Selectman including two years of serving as Chair. Mr. Atherton was elected Chair and Mr. DeCosta Vice Chair. In order to be effective, the Board continues to solicit and welcome comments and suggestions from the citizens of Nantucket and recognizes the commitment of the staff that so ably serves the needs of our community. Respectfully submitted, Rick Atherton Chairman HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
Benefits Administration consumed a significant portion of available time this year. Because it is self-insured the Town maintains a Health Insurance Trust Fund. The Health Trust Fund is structured in such a way that the Town can weather heavy health claims without affecting the annual operating budget. The fund balance guidelines are set by the Commonwealth’s Department of Revenue. In order to meet the guidelines $750,000 was appropriated at the April Annual Town Meeting. Employees are also required to contribute their share to maintain the fund balance. The employee share will be recaptured through a surcharge made through payroll deductions beginning June 1, 2013 and ending June 30, 2014. The Town’s health insurance programs experienced a significant premium increase. As a result there was a large migration from the indemnity health insurance program known as Master Medical to the Preferred Provider Option (PPO), the less expensive insurance program. The Town began the process of working with retirees to meet the new legal requirements that retirees 65 or older enroll in the supplemental health insurance programs. This legal requirement makes Medicare or the federal government the primary insurer and the Town the secondary insurer, which results in a cost savings to the Town. The Insurance Advisory Committee (IAC), an employee group that advises Town Administration on health insurance issues, also began to meet. The Town’s third annual Employee Benefits Fair was held in early May to provide educational opportunities for employees. Finally, Heather Pratt, the Town’s Human Resources/Benefits Assistant left her position in early March. The position was refilled effective July 1, 2013. While there were no formal union negotiations this year, Labor/Management meetings were held regularly with the Town’s largest union group, the Laborers’ International Union of North America. The purpose of these meetings was to help implement the Planning and Land Use Services department consolidation that occurred the previous year. Early in July 2013 the Town and the Union is expected to memorialize the
Page 21
creation of several much needed positions in the Department of Public Works. These positions are the result of impact bargaining and will be funded through the elimination of two highly paid positions. The Town continued to scrutinize every request to fill regular full time and part time vacant positions. Approximately 85 seasonal positions were filled in Public Safety, Marine, Natural Resources and Public Works. Respectfully submitted, 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 2013 fiscal year.
• Jason Bridges was hired in the fall of 2012 as a part-time employee responsible for implementing and supporting technologies that enhance the Town’s communications to the public. Jason’s experience with social networking and online services has proven to be a great asset to the team, contributing to the implementation of SeeClickFix, a digital civic engagement application that citizens can use to report visible issues of concern and the use of social media tools, like Facebook and Twitter. SeeClickFix is currently being used by the DPW for local issues such as illegal dumpings, potholes and damaged and missing signs.
• In January, the Town developed a new Social Media Policy and by April, the Police Department started using Facebook and Twitter to post public safety information such as road closings, traffic accidents, power outages and beach closures.
• Streaming Media and On-Demand Video services are now available on our website thanks to Jeff Tocci, NCTV Director, and Jason Bridges, who coordinated the implementation. Using Earth Channel services, we are able to stream live recorded meetings and archive On-Demand videos for future reference. Indexing functionality allows viewers to find their interests quickly and efficiently. Meetings currently being taped are Board of Selectmen, Historic District Commission, Airport Commission, Conservation Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, Planning Board and the Finance Committee.

• We continued to provide support for the Town’s financial system, MUNIS, assisting with the setup of the Contract module. We also spent a significant amount of time defining hardware specifications for a new MUNIS server in preparation for a version upgrade in the fall of 2013.
• This past year the GIS department procured a new set of aerial photography. On April 15, Kucera International Inc. flew over Nantucket, Tuckernuck and Muskeget capturing the new images. The new imagery will be available in the fall of 2013 and will include a color infra-red layer along with 3” resolution color imagery. With the completion of the aerial photo acquisition, we are in the process of issuing a Request for Proposal for the updating of the Town’s planimetric data. As the data layers are completed, the new data will be made available on the GIS website.
• Throughout the year, the IT Department has worked closely with the Cape Cod Commission and with Chatham and Yarmouth on the implementation of an e-permitting system. This project was initiated last year using a Regional Innovation Challenge Grant to automate the permit, license and inspection processes for three Cape pilot towns. Accela was selected as the vendor of choice offering a totally customized solution that will automate the permitting process from application submittal, inspections, fee calculations and sign-offs and allow online access to permitting information using the Citizen Access module. Many joint sessions were held throughout the year to define the Town’s permitting and licensing business processes and to configure the software. This included the installation and setup of a new GIS server that integrates with Accela’s GIS module and map services. IT attended intensive administrative training courses to prepare for a staggered roll-out approach starting in the summer. Approval for a new employee to manage and support this new system was approved at the 2013 Annual Town Meeting. Interviews will begin in July.
• Major network infrastructure optimization work was completed during the year, starting with building cabling upgrades for the installation of Voice over IP phones for the new PLUS organization at 2 Fairgrounds Road and the Finance Department at 37 Washington Street. Network switches at all main buildings were upgraded and re-configured to accommodate the new VOIP phone installation and to streamline communications across our network. Also of note, a new Firewall was installed and configured utilizing best practice techniques to better manage and monitor communications externally.
• A new server was configured and deployed at the Saltmarsh Center to service the Human Services Department. This department is now fully integrated into the Town’s network infrastructure. A new server and network domain was also built and installed for the Nantucket Islands Land Bank.
• Sixty mobile tablets have been issued to Town employees and committee members and are proving to be helpful in facilitating the sharing of information. Additionally, IT started piloting Windows 8 tablets that can be utilized with Windows applications, such as MUNIS.
• The Town’s website continues to be one of the primary sources of information for citizens and visitors, logging over three million hits this past year and averaging over 8,000 hits per day. IT recently engaged in an effort to redesign the Town’s website, evaluating a number of vendor products. Our main goal is to create a new look and feel that is visually engaging, intuitive and reflects the uniqueness of Nantucket. We hope to have this in place by next spring.
• Town GIS Services had a busy year with over 74,000 visitors to the on-line GIS website. GIS prepared 27 maps for Special Town Meeting in the fall of 2012, 24 maps for the 2013 Annual Town Meeting and fulfilled 140 Map requests for other Town departments and the public. In fiscal year 2014, we will focus resources on the Regional Permit Tracking implementation for Land Use Permitting and Business Licenses. Other major projects include the redesign of the Town’s website, a new
Page 23
MUNIS upgrade, wireless infrastructure upgrades and the implementation of a new data backup and disaster recovery strategy. In closing, I would like to extend my appreciation to my staff, Margaret Sprouse, Patrick McGloin, Nathan Porter and Jason Bridges for all of their hard work throughout the year and to all Town departments for their continued support. Respectfully submitted, Linda Rhodes Information Systems Manager
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 2013 yielded $15,755,033 in transfer fee revenue compared to last year’s $11,426,986. The Land Bank acquired 95.68 acres of land at a cost of $9,925,000. The Land Bank now owns 2,916 acres with an additional 426.47 acres permanently protected by conservation restrictions. Since its inception, the Land Bank has spent $240,680,262 on land purchases on the Island.

LAND ACQUISITIONS The Land Bank acquired several new properties adding a total of 95.68 acres to its holdings during fiscal year 2013. A brief description of each new acquisition and its purchase price is listed in chronological order as follows:
A one acre parcel donated by the Winters family. The property contains a portion of a small neighborhood pond which the Land Bank already owns a portion of.
31 Meadow View Drive (donation)
This 1.84 acre property contains the community garden which the seller, Mr. Francis Pease, graciously hosted on his property for many years. With this acquisition the community garden now has a permanent home. The property also directly abuts the Land Bank's Mt. Vernon farm fields.
166 Hummock Pond Road ($1,400,000)
Part one of a two part acquisition from the Trimpi family. This 8.6 acre property was zoned for 10,000 square foot lots and could have been subdivided into more than 30 lots. The family retained two acres including their house and generously sold the balance at substantially below market value to the Land Bank.
41 & 45 Cato Lane ($1,500,000)
This year part two of this transfer from the Town to the Land Bank was completed. Pursuant to a 2007 Annual Town Meeting vote the Town conveyed 5.76 acres of open land consisting of several vacant lots including, paper streets and portions of the old Surfside Railroad bed. The land forms an open space corridor running from the intersection of Surfside and South Shore Roads all the way down to the ocean in Surfside.
Additional Acreage in Surfside/Weweeder Valley (Transfer)
After many years of negotiations the Land Bank and Nantucket Conservation Foundation were able to complete a joint acquisition of 190 acres of this property. The Land Bank acquired 76 acres on the easterly side of the property with the Foundation acquiring 113 acres on the western side. A trail system has been opened up thru this diverse and beautiful property.
Norwood Farm - 243 Polpis Road ($7,000,000)
The Land Bank acquired an additional 25% interest in this 1.47 acre property which it already owns a majority interest in.
5 W. Miacomet Road ($25,000)
Page 26
The Land Bank received several no longer needed road layout parcels from the Town including a portion off Miller Lane between Old South Road and the Airport, and road layout parcels in Miacomet Park totaling 2.19 acres.
Various Paper Road Parcels
LAND DISPOSAL
After receiving legislative authority the Land Bank sold a 5,000 square foot lot with an old dwelling for $806,000 rather than going through a costly renovation to make the dwelling habitable. This money was directly applied to the purchase of 41 and 45 Cato Lane.
15 North Liberty Street
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: Cisco Beach Bike Path Extension and Parking Lot Renovation - extended the new Hummock Pond Road bike path down to the Land Bank's Cisco Beach parking area, expanded the parking area and created a bicycle parking area. Gardner Property/Hummock Pond Road - removed the small cottage located by pond.

Respectfully submitted, Allen B. Reinhard Chairman 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 petition and Richard Brannigan and Ken Beaugrand for their work on the CPA turf legislation. In July of 2012, An Act authorizing the Nantucket Islands Land Bank to sell, convey or otherwise dispose of certain land in the town of Nantucket was signed by the Governor. Its passage allows the Nantucket Memorial Airport to acquire an adjacent piece of land, the use of which is currently restricted, from the Land Bank. In return, the Land Bank will acquire 10 acres of open land to be used as playing fields for the community. In February of 2013, legislation amending Chapter 139 of the Acts of 2012 was passed permitting Nantucket to construct artificial turf on playing fields using CPA funds, as per a 2012 Town Meeting vote on Article 32. In July of 2013, two amendments affecting Nantucket are to be included in the final FY2014 budget. An amendment for shellfish propagation in Nantucket County allocates funds to be administered jointly by the Director of Marine Fisheries and the County. A second amendment added to an Executive Office of Health and Human Services line item includes language specifying that EOHHS shall take into consideration the increased costs of the provision of goods, services, housing and travel when contracting services on Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. Lastly, Nantucket saw increases in its CPA Trust Fund Distribution amounts for a total of $497,080 in fall 2012, and an expected $986,617 in fall 2013. I would like to conclude by thanking the citizens of Nantucket for being an involved and active community. I am incredibly proud to represent our Island and the district as a whole in Boston. I would also like to thank Amy Bacon Goldberg, my previous Legislative Aide, who worked with me for four years at the State House and welcome Rebecca Rocheleau to this position. Respectfully submitted, Tim Madden State Representative Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket

DEPARTMENT OF MUNICIPAL FINANCE
The Department of Municipal Finance includes Assessing, Collections, Treasury, Accounting, Budget 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. The department provides staff support to the Abatement Advisory Committee, Ad Hoc Budget Committee; Audit Committee; Capital Program Committee; and Finance Committee. Assessing The Assessor’s office personnel (Tax Assessor plus four full-time positions) collect, compile, and verify data for the valuation of all real estate and personal property, a total of 18,249 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, betterment assessments and abutters’ notification lists. The Assessor’s Office annually determines the taxable value of all properties using market based ratio studies and statistical analyses. In accordance with the triennial certification process, in fiscal year 2013 the Commissioner of Revenue certified that Nantucket’s locally assessed values represented full and fair cash valuation and that all real property had been classified according to its use as of January 1, 2012. Fiscal Year 2013 assessed values for all property were as follows:
Residential properties $15,890,745,965 Commercial and industrial 932,271,034 Industrial 50,373,351 Open Space 22,428,100
Personal property 205,311,229 Total taxable property $17,101,129,679 Exempt property 3,153,871,000 Total property assessed value $20,255,000,679
Total taxable property increased by $256,959,488 or 1.53% 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 2013 was $58,393,607, an increase of $2,268,008 or 4.04%. The increase came from the allowable Proposition 2½ % increase, which yielded revenue of 1,403,282; amended 2012 new growth in the amount of $5,682; and certified new growth which yielded revenue of $859,044. Levy Base (previous fiscal year’s Levy Limit) Add: Amended FY2012 New Growth $56,125,599 5,682 Proposition 2½ 1,403,282
Revenue from Certified New Growth $859,044 Fiscal Year 2013 Levy Limit (next fiscal year’s Levy Base) $58,393,607
Page 29
Debt Exclusion 7,302,215 Fiscal Year 2013 Maximum Levy $65,695,822 The actual tax levy for FY 2013 was $63,618,274, an increase of $1,343,530 or 2.16% over the previous year. Property tax abatements granted on the 2013 tax levy during the abatement period totaled $201,376.46, or 0.32% of the levy. Tax rates for fiscal year 2013 were: Residential $3.67
Open Space $3.51 Commercial $6.51 Industrial $6.51 Personal Property $6.51
For comparison, the average residential tax rate in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2013 was $13.13. Nantucket’s composite tax rate was $3.72. This is the rate that would be charged if the community used a single rate structure. One penny on the composite tax rate yielded $171,017, compared to $175,229 in fiscal year 2012. A residential exemption is available for year round residents, as authorized by MGL Chapter 59 section 5c. The amount of the exemption is voted annually by the Board of Selectmen as part of the Tax Classification Hearing. For the fiscal year 2013 the exemption voted was 20% of the average residential value or $303,664. There were 2,255 properties that qualified and received this assessment credit on their tax bills for fiscal year 2013. Average values and taxes on residential properties are listed in the next chart.

State average does not include Nantucket and the 107 other communities that have a split residential/commercial tax rate. Collections The Collector’s office personnel (Collector plus two positions) 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. Taxpayers have two options to pay their tax bills, in the Finance offices or online for paying real estate, personal property, motor vehicle and boat excise tax
Page 30
bills. To use the online system, taxpayers simply need their bill number and year; then go to the Town’s website at http://www.nantucket-ma.gov/Pages/NantucketMA_Tax/index. In 2013, tax collections using the online bill pay and in office services were $63,749,350 or 100.2% of the levy. This amount includes collections of delinquent taxes and tax liens. Property tax revenue represented 86.16% of revenue for the general operating fund. Other revenue for the general operating fund of the Town for fiscal year 2013 is as follows, shown with fiscal year 2012 for comparison: Other Revenue 2013 2012 Excise Taxes – motor vehicle, room, boat, meals $5,010,298 $4,659,490 Charges for services – copies, Municipal Lien Certificates 63,892 83,315 Licenses, permits, rentals and fees 2,232,246 2,360,147

Treasury The Treasurer’s office personnel (Treasurer plus 2 ½ positions) process payroll and accounts payable for the Town, County, NRTA and Land Bank, issue all new debt, invest Town funds as allowable by law, collect on or close liened tax accounts, make all debt service payments and work with the Town’s 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 2013 EQV is $18 billion, the fourth highest in the Commonwealth, and the debt limit is $1.1 billion. The Town’s long-term debt outstanding on June 30, 2013 consists of Governmental Funds debt of $45,677,601 and Enterprise Fund debt of $97,363,623. 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. Audited Balance Unaudited Balance Description 06/30/2012 Additions Reductions 06/30/2013

Governmental fund debt consists primarily of General Fund debt, and includes obligations on behalf of the Nantucket Islands Land Bank and the Sewer Enterprise Fund. Long-term debt was issued during the year at an effective net interest cost of 2.93%. 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. Reductions of debt include restructuring of borrowing from Massachusetts Water Pollution Abatement Trust for the Surfside Waste Water Treatment Facility, which reduced debt outstanding for the General Fund and the Sewer Enterprise Fund. The Town’s debt is structured to retire 63.09% of principal within ten years.

Accounting The Accounting office personnel consists of the Assistant Town Accountant and four full-time positions. The Director of Finance serves as the Town Accountant. The accounting division maintains the accounting records for 70 funds totaling $38.8 million at the beginning of fiscal year 2013. Major funds include the General Fund ($18.5 million); Town capital projects funds ($5.4 million); and non-major funds (state and federal grants, gift funds, revolving funds, six enterprise funds, and trust and agency funds ($14.9 million). The Accounting division also maintains the accounting records for the Community Preservation Funds ($5.9 million) and Nantucket County ($3 million) which is comprised of the General Fund, Deeds Excise Funds, County License Plate Fund, Grant Funds, and the Land Bank payroll fund. The Assistant Town Accountant with the assistance of two Accounting Clerks prepares the draft financial reports to meet local, state and federal requirements for the Director of Finance’s review on an annual basis. The Director of Finance coordinates the annual audit with a third party independent audit firm for
Page 32
both the Town and County. In FY 2013, the FY 2012 audit was completed on November 1, 2012 with a second consecutive unqualified opinion. An unqualified opinion, which is also referred to as a “clean” opinion, means in the independent auditor’s opinion, the Town has fairly presented its financial position, results of overall government operations, changes in cash flows, and application and conformity of GAAP. During FY 2013, most of the Accounting Division’s focus was on addressing internal controls which needed to be strengthened as outlined in the FY 2012 Audit Management Letter findings, as well as reconciling major fund activity (cash, accounts receivable, special revenue fund, and trusts) on a monthly basis. The FY 2012 Management Letter identified five material weaknesses and eight other findings. Material weaknesses are defined by the third party independent auditor as a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal controls. Material weaknesses corrected in FY 2013 include Monthly Reconciliation of Airport Capital Project Funds, Re-appropriating Unspent Bond Proceeds, and Unidentified Cash Adjustments. Other matters are opportunities to strengthen internal controls or operating efficiencies throughout the Town. Other matters addressed in FY 2013 include but are not limited to Accounting for Off Duty Details, Addressing Insurance Withholding Deficits, Documenting the 3-C Transportation Cost Allocation Process, and Reconciling the Amount Due to the County from the Land Bank. Budget The Budget office personnel consists of one full time position and is assisted by the Director of Finance to maintain budget records for all budgetary fund and account groups, provide financial analysis during union negotiations, and support department heads and Town Administration during the annual budgetary process. The Massachusetts Department of Revenue certified the Town’s FY 2013 Municipal Budget in the amount of $110,315,935 comprised of $72.3 million from the tax levy and other general revenues, $3.2 million from free cash, $3.5 million from other special revenue funds, and $31.3 million from Enterprise and Community Preservation Funds. The FY 2013 General Fund budget was $61.5 million which includes general government, public safety, marine and costal resources, maintenance, health and human services, and the school department. The General Fund budget also includes shared expenses in Town and school departments such as debt service, health and other insurances, and retirement assessments. Special revenue funds receive revenues from federal and state grants, and from fee-based programs. Revenues are legally restricted for a specific purpose under MGL Chapter, 44 Section 53E½ or other local and state legislation. The amount budgeted in FY 2013 for Revolving Funds was $6.2 million. Revolving Funds budgeted amounts are not included in the total Municipal Budget amount listed above. Capital projects for the General Fund are funded from 1% of the prior fiscal year real estate taxes, personal property taxes, and other local revenues as well as proceeds of general obligation bond issues, from federal and state grants, from certified free cash, or from transfers from the general operating fund,
Page 33
authorized by Town Meeting. In FY 2013, the amount appropriated for Town-related capital projects was $1,545,500 ($938,236 from the tax levy and $607,264 from free cash). The Town of Nantucket has six enterprise funds (Nantucket Memorial Airport, Wannacomet Water Company, Siasconset Water, Our Island Home, Sewer and Solid Waste). 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 FY 2013 was $5,192,450 comprised of $2,999,000 in operating overrides, approved by the voters at Annual and Special Town Meetings, with additional subsidy from the General Fund in the amount of $1,517,502 for operations and $675,948 for landfill mining. The Town of Nantucket also provides a General Fund subsidy to Our Island Home and Nantucket Memorial Airport; the FY 2013 total provided from general tax revenue was $2,261,560 and $1,060,728 respectively. It is important to note, the Nantucket Memorial Airport subsidy from tax revenue is anticipated to be temporary and the Airport Commission has committed to work with the Board of Selectmen on a repayment schedule to the General Fund over the next few fiscal years. Department Highlights In November of 2012 the entire Finance Department was relocated from 16 Broad Street and 22 Federal Street (The Robert F. Mooney Building) to 37 Washington Street. The transition was done with minimal interruptions to service and has proven to be far more efficient by having all of the Finance offices under one roof. I would like to personally thank the entire Finance Department team for all their hard work and consistent dedication to deliver consecutive unqualified opinions on the 2011 and 2012 Audit; the achievement of the Board of Selectmen goals focused on Improving Financial Management; and soldiering through a very difficult real estate/personal property revaluation year and transition to quarterly billing. 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, Capital Program Committee, Town, School, and Enterprise Fund departments for your continued support during FY 2013. We look forward to continuing to improve our transparency and customer service levels in the coming years. 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.
Page 34
Personnel/Staffing
Department of Public Works In Fiscal Year 2012, we consolidated the Parks and Recreation department with the Department of Public Works. In FY 2013, we reorganized the DPW to add focus on specific duties necessitated by the consolidation, and also other activities such as surveying, engineering, public buildings and public property maintenance. The position of Assistant DPW Director was eliminated and replaced with the position of Town Engineer and a new Facilities Manager position was established. Long-time Assistant DPW Director Mohamed Nabulsi left the employment of the Town and we wish him the best. Grounds Maintenance Manager, Jimmy Manchester retired and we wish him the best as well. At the close of FY 2013, we were actively advertising to fill the new positions. Senior Services In early FY 2013, Council on Aging Director Linda Roberts took a new job at the Wannacomet Water Company. We thank her for her years of service to the Town. Staffing for the Senior Center was reorganized, with Laura Stewart being hired as the Senior Services Director and some additional administrative focus was brought in with Anne Medina (who performs work for Senior Services and Human Services) and Pamela Meriam, the Director of Human Services relocating to the Saltmarsh Senior Center from the former Parks and Recreation building at Jetties Beach. Information Systems/Technology At the 2013 Annual Town Meeting, funding was appropriated in the FY 2014 budget for a part-time IT position to focus on the administration and oversight of social media for the Town. The position will also be examining the possibility of a new Town website to provide enhanced online services to the public and allow for greater communication and outreach. Planning and Land Use Services (PLUS) In early FY 2013, a number of the regulatory and permitting agencies were combined into one department (PLUS – includes Building, Health, Historic District Commission, Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals), overseen by the Director of Planning. These offices were relocated from 37 Washington Street to 2 Fairgrounds Road. As with most efforts at consolidation and change, this one was not without the expected “bumps in the road”. At this point, however, nearly all of the public feedback has been positive. This consolidation allowed for increased efficiency and reduced cost in terms of equipment, supplies, and administrative functions such as billing, purchasing and budgeting, as well as the benefit of a “one stop shop” approach. Some job descriptions were revised so that positions could take on additional functions in related areas, such as inspections. Hours of operation were expanded and an administrative staff that can respond to multiple permitting questions, not just for one area, is intended to be developed. This process was undertaken throughout FY 2013 and continues into FY 2014. Concerns were heard from the building community that a reduction in hours of the plumbing and wiring inspectors was overly burdensome and restrictive. With an increase in certain fees and some cost savings achieved through the consolidation, the hours for these positions were restored from part-time to full-time toward the end of FY 2013. An enhancement to PLUS (and the Town) that remains outstanding is e-permitting. The Town began participation in a regional grant effort two years ago with several Cape towns that was intended to introduce standard on-line permitting software for licenses that all cities and towns have in common, as well as customization for the licenses and permits that not all towns issue. The effort has turned out to be much more time-consuming and complicated than originally anticipated and while not yet complete, is still continuing.
Page 35
Miscellaneous On-Going Efforts Going into FY 2014, we are continuing to explore ways in which to consolidate services and staff to activity levels. We also secured funding for FY 2014 to conduct a wage and staffing study which will help identify benchmarks for employee salaries and compare Nantucket with other towns for equivalent positions, as well as internal equity and balance. Hopefully these results can be reported in the FY 2014 Town Report. 2013 Town Meeting/Budget The 2013 Annual Town Meeting was held on April 2, 2013. The Town Meeting warrant contained 87 citizen and Town-sponsored articles, including appropriations, zoning, real estate dispositions, bylaw amendments and home rule petitions. Of the 87 articles, 24 were called for discussion. Approved capital projects for FY 2014 totaled approximately $4,000,000 mostly for infrastructure repairs and maintenance and repairs and capital improvements for Town and School buildings. These expenditures were funded from free cash, unexpended prior year capital articles and the General Fund operating budget. Property taxes were not increased to cover any of these projects. Other noteworthy articles included:
• an appropriation of $250,000 (from Free Cash) was made for the first time into the “Other Post Employment Benefits Trust Fund” (this Fund is explained later in this Report);
• two citizen articles related to employee benefits received some discussion: Article 65 was a citizen-sponsored home rule petition to cease longevity payments for town employees after a certain date. The Finance Committee Motion, which carried, was to seek non-binding “guidance” to Town Administration and the Board of Selectmen about longevity pay. Article 66, with the same citizen sponsor was a home rule petition to make Town employees hired after a certain date ineligible for participation in the Barnstable County Retirement System. The Finance Committee Motion to take no action, passed.
• Articles 78 (Town-sponsored) and 84 (citizen-sponsored) both sought authorization to lease Town-owned land at the landfill for a cell tower and wind turbine, respectively. Both were defeated.
• Proposed action from the floor of Town Meeting on Article 86, to appropriate $500,000 into the Stabilization Fund failed – by one vote. 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 2014 General Fund budget as approved by the 2013 Annual Town Meeting was $64,360,408 – an increase of about 4.5% over FY 2013. While economic conditions have improved and allowed us to begin implementing items that have been put off, we remain cautious as to continued economic growth and conservative in our revenue and expense projections. As we move toward developing budgets for FY 2015-16, we are continuing to review 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 FY 2013 was to achieve an unqualified audit opinion for the fiscal year 2012. I am pleased to report that we did achieve an unqualified audit opinion for which the Town’s Finance Department deserves recognition. Additionally, the Audit Committee meets regularly with the auditor and staff to review audit issues. After having the same auditor for nearly ten years, the Town
Page 36
issued a Request for Proposals for auditing services in the last half of FY 2013 to which we received several responses. Near the end of FY 2013, the firm Roselli Clark Associates was selected for a three-year engagement. As noted earlier in this Report, the 2013 Annual Town Meeting appropriated first-time funding of $250,000 into the Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB; relates to health insurance for retirees) Trust Fund, which was established in 2010. Municipalities, while required to include OPEB liability in the annual financial audit, are not required to fund that liability at this time. Many towns across the state have begun to look for ways to begin funding this liability on a regular basis. Some are appropriating small amounts while others are working actively to fund or reduce the outstanding liability. Town Administration is hoping to establish a regular funding schedule for this purpose. As of FY 2013, the Town’s outstanding liability for OPEB is approximately $88,000,000. A large employee-related cost item in the annual budget is health insurance. The Town’s health insurance costs are approaching $12,000,000 annually. There are limited ways in which Massachusetts towns can implement significant changes to health insurance costs that do not involve traditional collective bargaining. In FY 2012, the Town invoked the provisions of the state’s health insurance reform act, enacted in 2011, which allows certain plan design changes which are then somewhat offset by mitigation provisions. Nonetheless, we believe some cost savings were achieved although a complete financial analysis has not been conducted. The Town will continue pursuing health insurance cost savings through available means. Wastewater Management Planning Considerable effort was spent, and 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). This work is underway with Woodard & Curran, the Town’s wastewater consultants. In FY 2013, the Board of Selectmen established a Sewer Planning Work Group to assist with recommendations on a variety of wastewater items, including financing of future capital projects. The group has had several meetings but has not yet made its final recommendations. Due to the complexity of the project and the need for information from various sources, the updated CWMP, which was expected to be complete by the end of calendar year 2013, will likely be completed in early 2014.
Collective Bargaining The Town ended FY 2013 with one collective bargaining agreement unsettled – Service Employees International Union (SEIU) which represents many Our Island Home employees. In FY 2014, there are eight collective bargaining agreements to be negotiated. An issue likely to be contentious is health insurance. We are hoping to work together with the unions to develop ways in which to reduce costs for the town and the employees. Airport A significant amount of Town Administration time was spent on Airport issues again in FY 2013. In addition to regulatory issues, the Airport’s budget and financial management was 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 by the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee and Airport Commission. While there was still a General Fund subsidy appropriated for FY 2014 for the Airport, it was much less than the prior year. Repayment from the Airport to the General Fund remains outstanding but is at the forefront of budget related discussions. The Airport Commission and Town Finance Department have worked and continue to work very hard to improve the financial management of the Airport.
Page 37
At the beginning of FY 2013, we lost Selectman Whitey Willauer, who passed away in July, 2012. Whitey’s unique ways of always searching for the “value-added” components of projects and issues, are missed. On a personal note, I lost my father, H. Flint Ranney, Nantucket’s Steamship Authority representative, in December, 2012. He is also greatly missed. 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
I can’t believe that fifteen years have flown by since I was elected your Town and County Clerk in 1998. So many changes have occurred with state and federal laws regarding elections, municipalities, and workers and volunteers! I make every attempt to attend all local, state, and regional conferences (in order to remain on the good side of the law!) I have received my third Certified Massachusetts Municipal Clerk (CMMC) recertification from the Massachusetts City and Town Clerks Associations. I have also entered my sixth year with the Master Municipal Clerk (MMC) designation as conferred by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC). Out of 35,000 incorporated cities and towns in the United States, there are only 1,218 MMC’s, with only an additional 13 in Canada, and three Clerks in other countries who have achieved this status. Assistant Town Clerk Nancy Holmes has received her Certified Municipal Clerk designation from the IIMC. Nancy had to complete three years of rigorous coursework at the New England Municipal Clerks Institute at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire, as well as complete a number of projects in order to be eligible for this prestigious certification. We are so proud of Nancy! Administrative Assistant Gail Holdgate has implemented a new Town Meetings and Elections filing system. She continues to amaze us with her methods to increase efficiency and order. We are very grateful to Town Administration who moved us into new, more spacious offices. We have room for all our office equipment, and now have specific zones for each local, state, and specialized activity. I want to thank the members of the Board of Registrars: Carolyn Gould, Janet Coffin, and David Goodman; and our Town Meeting and Election Workers. Most especially, I want to thank our Warden Frank Psaradelis, who with his son Peter works for days on end, setting up for, and dismantling, our many
Page 38
elections and town meetings. Sheriff Jim Perelman and our beloved Manny Dias (an election worker for more than 51 years!) make sure that all is in order at the ballot box. I truly appreciate all the wonderful support and encouragement the Town, the voters, and the residents of Nantucket have given to the Town Clerk’s Office. Your enthusiasm has meant the world to me, and to Nancy and Gail. We look forward to serving you for another year. As always, if there is anything that we can do to serve you better, please let us know.

ANNUAL TOWN MEETING – APRIL 2, 2013

Respectfully submitted, Catherine Flanagan Stover, MMC, CMMC Town and County Clerk TOWN COUNSEL
Fiscal Year 2013 represents the second full fiscal year of our firm’s service as Town Counsel to the Town of Nantucket. We are honored to have the opportunity to continue to serve the Town in all matters requiring legal counsel and assistance. 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 environmental matters. One of our 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. We have also 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 continues to issue memoranda to our clients updating them on recent developments in municipal law. Litigation A total of 12 out of 24 previously pending cases were resolved during the fiscal year. Labor We have 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 bargaining agreements, and the resolution of employment disputes and grievances in a pragmatic and cost-effective manner. We are also representing the Town on a new round of collective bargaining negotiations. Airport Commission We continue to assist in the successful operation of Nantucket Memorial Airport with timely and cost effective legal advice, as needed. Most significantly for this fiscal year, we have assisted the Airport Commission in its dispute with the general contractor in the construction of the new administration building and have also assisted the Commission in responding to an adverse title claim asserted against airport property.
Page 51
Real Estate The firm has performed a variety of legal services related to numerous real estate matters involving the Town and the County, including several takings by eminent domain of roadway parcels for conveyance pursuant to the Yard Sale Program, over thirty (30) Yard Sale transactions, the sale of surplus Town-owned properties for residential purposes, as well as the layout and taking by eminent domain by the County of public ways. In addition, we have prepared and reviewed license agreements, conservation restrictions and leases on behalf of the Town. We assisted the Town in responding to the public emergency caused by the eroding bluff along sections of Baxter Road in Siasconset, including negotiating a Memorandum of Understanding with Siasconset Beach Preservation Fund to assist the Town with funding necessary to explore bluff protection measures, and relocation of the roadway threatened by the eroding bluff. 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 allowing 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, John W. Giorgio Kopelman and Paige, P.C.

HUMAN SERVICES REPORTS
DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES
The Department of Human Services includes the following entities: Our Island Home, Senior Services, Commission on Disability and Veteran’s Services. Our Island Home’s Administrator is Rachel Chretien; the Senior Services Coordinator is Laura Stewart (and is now responsible for the operations of the Saltmarsh Senior Center); Mary Richrod is Director of the Senior Day Center; Brenda McDonough is the Facilitator for Commission on Disability and Arnold Patterson is the Veteran’s Services representative. The Council for Human Services and its subcommittee, the Contract Review Committee, also come under the Department of Human Services. The Director is the liaison between various 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 nine 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 receiving funds for FY12 include: A Safe Place, Elder Services of Cape Cod and Islands, Interfaith Council Food Pantry, Interfaith Council Rental Assistance Program, Nantucket Aids Network, Family and Children’s Services d/b/a Nantucket Behavioral Health Services, South Coastal Counties Legal Services, Martha’s Vineyard Community Services, and Small Friends. FISCAL YEAR 2013 HIGHLIGHTS Human Services Direct Services to the Community Effective July 1, 2012, the Town transferred the processing of Fuel Assistance applications to Nantucket Rental Assistance. The Department continues to assist with Food Stamp applications. Additionally, Human Services staff oversees the Senior Tax Work-Off Program and in June of 2013 became Nantucket’s Passport Agency.
Page 53
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. Senior Tax Work-Off Program Staff worked with Town department heads and senior applicants to pair residents with tasks. Each qualified senior could work a maximum of 100 hours (at $7.50/hour) which would be deducted from their property tax. This is an ongoing program; new applications are taken in September. Out of 26 applicants, 14 were placed; and six departments applied: DPW, PLUS, Wannacomet Water Company, Assessor, Human Resources and Visitor Services. Passports Pam Meriam and Ann Medina became Certified Passport Agents and are available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 to 4:00 PM, by appointment to process new passports. Community Transformation Grant/Mass in Motion The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) was awarded a $60,000 per year grant 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. As a selected community, Nantucket will become part of the Mass in Motion Municipal Wellness and Leadership initiative, and work on the strategic directions of the grant application and demonstrate the ability to contribute to a strong application by MDPH. In March of 2013, the Nantucket Aids Network a/k/a Access, subcontracted with the Town to manage the projects of the grant. Funding and oversight continues to be through the Department of Human Services. The Department of Human Services is located at 81 Washington Street at the Saltmarsh Senior Center. Effective October 5, 2012, the Department staff consists of one Director and one Business Office Coordinator. Hours of operation are generally Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Respectfully submitted, Pamela Meriam Human Services Director COUNCIL ON AGING
The Nantucket Council on Aging (COA) was established by voters at the 1974 Annual Town Meeting. The Saltmarsh Senior Center is located at 81 Washington Street Ext. Our mission is to identify unmet needs, design, promote, and implement services 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, the Saltmarsh Gazette, which is mailed to 517 seniors. The Gazette can also be viewed on the Town of Nantucket’s website under the Council on Aging Department.
Page 54
In FY 2013 the Saltmarsh Senior Center provided 17,767 units of services to 629 individuals over 60 years of age, with 73% of them being women. Between five and eight programs are offered daily to an average of 60 seniors visiting the center each day. There are five paid employees and one hundred and six volunteers. The Board of Selectmen appoints nine members from the community to serve on the COA board for staggered three-year terms. The 2012-2013 board members were: Thomas B. McGlinn, Chairman; John McLaughlin, Vice Chairman; Chuck Gifford, Jon St. Laurent, Glenora Kelly Smith, Daryl Westbrook, Randall Wight, Ella Finn and Joe Aguiar. The COA board members hold regular monthly meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at 1:30 PM at the Saltmarsh Senior Center to discuss ways to fulfill its mission and continue improving the annual Elder Expo. The COA board selects one woman and one man as “Nantucket’s Senior Citizens of the Year.” The 2013 awards went to Sara Johnsen and Francis Pease. Recognition from state and local officials was given at the annual volunteer appreciation luncheon. The Nantucket Center for Elder Affairs, Inc. (NCEA) generously paid for the luncheon held at Faregrounds Restaurant. The Council on Aging is a Town Department which funds staff salaries and an operational budget. Additional funding is met through fundraising events by the Nantucket Center for Elder Affairs, Inc. and through state grants and community donations. Without these additional funds our facilities needs and the many programs offered would not be possible. This year’s fundraising activities included: John Buttrick benefit concert, Cabaret, Ships Inn dinner, social game night at Sherburne Commons, December Delight and a yard sale. The NCEA board members continue to work on board development and fundraising for the Saltmarsh Senior Center. 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. Our fifth annual Elder Expo in September was geared toward informational sharing and awareness of support services for seniors. Other items of note that occurred this past year include:
• Serving the Health Information Needs of Elders (SHINE) counselor updated seniors on the options available under the Medicare Drug Programs and held Medicare open enrollment from October 20-December 7.
• Human Services filed applications for our seniors to participate in the Tax Work-Off Program and now processes new passport applications at the Saltmarsh Senior Center.
• Free information services or seminars were provided concerning dementia, healthy living and fitness, fall prevention and balance, grandparents role in preventing their grandchildren from drinking and using drugs and a three part series about planning to stay at home as we age with elder law attorney, Arthur Bergeron.
• Special programs included: Arts and craft classes, food preparation, facials, performances by local singers, musicians and theater groups and an Atheneum informational seminar.
• A variety of regularly scheduled programs included: aerobic and strength training instruction, Yoga, Tai Chi, internet and computer assistance, writers workshops, quilting, knitting, cribbage, Mah Jongg, bridge games and instruction.
• New programs include: Sing-a-longs, Wii Bowling, Bingo (obtained a license from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to play for cash prizes) and the Men’s Breakfast was revived.
Page 55
The Senior Center is the host site for Elder Services of Cape Cod and the Islands’ congregate lunch program, monthly and weekly blood pressure clinics, veteran services, Legal Services of Cape Cod and the Islands, hearing and hearing aid services. The Social Security Administration lost funding for travel and has not been able to send agents to the island since July 2011. Goals for fiscal year 2014 include the following:
• Continue with and improve the programs, services and supports we offer.
• Continue networking with elder service providers and first responders.
• Host the sixth Elder Expo in September 2013.
• Maintain and improve our website and database of services provided to our seniors.
• Establish an email list to send the Saltmarsh Gazette.
• Reaching out to other elders on Nantucket. With limited resources and increased demands the programs offered would not be possible without the development of creative resources and the generosity from those who care about our elderly citizens. We sincerely appreciate the generosity from those who made donations and volunteered their time. We also extend our gratitude and appreciation to the hard work of Ginny Carrera, the Program Coordinator Assistant 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. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and serve our senior community. Respectfully submitted, Tom McGlinn, Nantucket Council on Aging, Chairman Laura Stewart, Program Coordinator, Saltmarsh Senior Center OUR ISLAND HOME
Our Island Home is the provider of care for individuals in need of long term care as well as short term skilled nursing care. It is a 45-bed facility operating as an enterprise fund of the Town of Nantucket. Our Island Home (OIH) is dedicated to providing the highest quality care for our residents requiring 24 hour nursing care. We are committed to enhancing our residents’ daily lives by creating an environment in which they, and their families, feel at home and by employing individuals who are compassionate in providing dignified care. We seek to create lasting relationships with our residents and family by utilizing consistent care givers and ensuring residents are the primary participants in their care. The above is provided within the structure of the regulatory definitions per the governing agencies and within the fiscal restraints of our approved budget projection. OIH staff consists of approximately 68 employees that include permanent and per diem personnel. Surveys: The 2012 Department of Public Health annual survey resulted in no deficiencies of potential/actual harm to our residents. We received two deficiencies for patterned, no actual harm. The 2012 Life Safety Survey resulted in three deficiencies. The state of the building was a concern during both surveys. However, no deficiencies were received as the surveyors understood that action was being taken by the Board of Selectmen to address the aged building by establishing an Our Island Home Long-Term Plan Work Group. The main mission of this group is to develop and explore future options and
Page 56
recommendations for OIH and associated services. The final report of the work group will be presented to the Board of Selectman in mid-July 2013. The surveys OIH experiences are a factor in calculating what our Five Star Quality Rate is. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services implemented a nursing home rating system that provides nursing homes with a score between one and five stars based upon the weighted formula of the following factors: health inspections, staffing ratios, and quality measure outcomes. Currently, OIH is rated a 4 out of 5 star facility. To review the breakdown of this rating please visit: www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare. ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT Within FY 2013 we added two key personnel to our administrative staff. One was Meris Keating who was hired as the Activities Director. The previous director, Sybil Nickerson, chose to retain her old position as the Activity Director Assistant upon the passing of Wendy Garrabrant. Wendy was a long time volunteer prior to becoming a permanent staff member for OIH and her loss was felt by all staff and residents deeply. The second key personnel hired was Heather Francis as the Staff Development Coordinator. Previously, there had been a lack of educational opportunities for staff due to this position being unfilled and fiscal restraints to send staff to off-island seminars and trainings. Having Heather on board has helped immensely in maintaining the education of staff as mandated by requirement/regulations. To further help with education of staff, we began using SilverChair learning, an educational software program, at the start of the fiscal year. This provides online tutorials of the annually mandated topics and keeps all information up-to-date. While this was a learning process for staff, it has proven to be effective. IMPROVE FISCAL MANAGEMENT We have maintained a steady census which resulted in the average yearly census was the same as FY 2011 and FY 2012 of 42 out of 45 (94% occupancy). Our largest payor source remains Medicaid/Mass Health at an average of 66%. The other two payor sources are private at 30% and Medicare A at 4%. One area of focus for the industry as part of the Affordable Care Act which added a section to the Social Security Act is the reduction of hospital readmissions within 30 days of discharge. OIH only had one resident discharged/readmitted to the hospital within 30 days. OIH had a decline in discharges to home. In FY 2013, 25% of discharges were of this category which is down from 35% in FY 2012. This decline is directly related to our decrease in Medicare (or short term residents) census for the fiscal year. The remaining discharges are broken down as 67% expired at OIH, 4% to another nursing facility and 4% to the hospital/not returned. Our goal for FY 2014 will be to continue to maintain a high census, meet (or exceed) revenue projections, and maintain our percentage of our residents returning to homes! FY 2013 overall budgeted revenue was not met and we experience a shortfall of $360,462 at the close of the fiscal year. This budgeted shortfall was offset by the transfer of OIH Retained Earnings into the operating (expense and salaries) budget at Annual Town Meeting. With the transfers and conservative spending, the overall budgeted expense had a surplus of $800,104. This surplus assisted in offsetting the revenue deficit. The General Fund subsidy amount for FY 2013 was $2,261,560. One reason for the above decrease in revenue was a lower than anticipated Medicare census. OIH continues to provide high levels of rehabilitation, improve our identification of skilled nursing qualifiers, and compete with the Nantucket Cottage Hospital swing beds that offer the same level of care. However, anticipated revenue and census of Medicare was not met. The average daily census of Medicare residents was a total of two, down from three Medicare residents per day in FY 2012. The total days, or average
Page 57
Medicare clinically appropriate days, for the period was also lower than FY 2012. Our goal is to continue to provide Medicare at a level that will meet the resident needs and meet our projected revenue for FY 2014. OIH continues to enlist 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 OH. While this is still in progress, this group did assist us in filing for a Certified Public Expenditure payment in collaboration with our accountant, Kirkland Albrecht & Fredrickson. 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 2013 we filed and were approved to receive a sum for the CPE for the calendar year of 2011. This payment is expected to be received in FY 2014. ENHANCE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS A current long-term care industry trend is the reduction of psychotropic medication use. OIH has continued to reduce our usage of these medications with assistance from our pharmacy consultant. We remain below state, regional and national averages for three out of four measured categories of antipsychotics, anxiolytics and hypnotics for the third year in a row. Our psychotropic use was the lowest it has ever been and we have used NO hypnotics for roughly one year! The last category of psychotics, antidepressants, is in-line with the state, regional and national averages. Our medication utilization average (routine medication and those provided on an ‘as needed’ basis) was also far below the average compared to other facilities (OIH averages 7.2, down from FY 2012, while the overall average in 12.9) for the period of July 2012 to July 2013. Our goal for FY 2014 is to continue this trend of reducing the number of medications residents receive overall. 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 2013, the Friends of Our Island Home citizen group began to form. This group will work under the Community Foundation of Nantucket for fundraising efforts and assist in expanding our group of dedicated volunteers. We look forward to the formation of this group and the positive impact they will have on our residents! Respectfully submitted, Rachael Chretien Administrator

ISLAND SERVICES REPORTS
NANTUCKET MEMORIAL AIRPORT
Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) is one of only two gateways to the island, and on certain days has more aircraft operations than Boston Logan. ACK is a key economic generator for the community and the state. According to a recent MASS DOT study, the airport is responsible for 4,000+ jobs generating $121 million in total payroll (4th in state airports), and is responsible for $401 million in economic impact, the third in state airports. Operating essentially as a small city with its own fire, security, maintenance, operations and administrative departments, the airport provides for the transportation needs of a variety of customers. From private aircraft owners, commercial service airlines and passengers, corporate jet operators and users to freight carriers, medical transport, military training and VIP transport, the airport supplies the infrastructure and services necessary for these groups to successfully perform their functions. In addition to providing services necessary for flight operations, the airport is a leader in supplying land for commercial, non-aeronautical businesses known as Locally Undesirable Land Uses (LULU); businesses that are better located outside of the Historic Core District. Both the airfield and its support facilities and non-aeronautical areas must be managed in an environmentally responsible manner, as the Airport actively manages over 500 acres of Priority Habitat and the associated threatened and endangered species. As part of its environmental stewardship commitment, the airport coordinated with the Nantucket Islands Land Bank and a professional contractor to implement a plan for controlled burning of portions of grassland on the airport. Just prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, in June, 2012, a new Airport Manager began his tenure at the airport. While significant changes to the operation and management of the airport continued through the fiscal year, the airport team continued to pursue changes to improve the overall financial performance and delivery of quality services. Within the Administrative unit, organizational and procedural changes were made to enhance and encourage sustainable growth at the airport, and to improve communications with other Town Departments and the community. In an effort to address various issues, a reorganization of the Finance/Business office was initiated with the hiring of a new Business Manager, and the Fixed Base Operations (FBO) supervisor pressed into service to support the Business Manager. Improvements made in the Finance/Business unit include improved formats and frequency of reports delivered to the Airport Commission and Board of Selectmen, such as quarterly financial updates in a user friendly format. Additionally, this department also increased the use of the MUNIS accounting system in coordination with the Town Finance Department. To address inconsistencies and to continue efforts toward financial self-sufficiency, an initial review of the airport rates and charges was conducted internally with appropriate modifications approved by the Airport Commission. One significant change to the rates was the institution of a fee for operators providing scheduled service flights utilizing the Fixed Base Operator facilities. Other changes included the institution of landing fees for small general aviation aircraft and the elimination of several discount programs. While
Page 59
this is an initial step in addressing the rates and charges, a comprehensive review and analysis will be completed as part of an overall Airport Master Plan update that will occur in FY 2014. In consideration of the airport’s financial condition and in support of the goal to become self sufficient, the airport staff members represented by a collective bargaining agreement, volunteered to forgo cost of living increases for FY 2014, allowing the new management additional time to improve the airport’s financial picture. (The non-union personnel contributed similarly in FY 2013.) Another major step in improving the finances at the airport and addressing sustainable activity began in FY 2013 with the selection of a consultant, McFarland Johnson, to prepare a Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) application. The development of the application is due to be completed and approved by calendar year end 2013 with collections anticipated to start in early 2014. Current estimates indicate that approximately $500,000 - $600,000 would be generated and be used to reduce debt service and provide matching funds for FAA and state capital grants. On the non-aeronautical business front, the airport, in conjunction with Town counsel, began a review of various leases in order to standardize and update the terms of these agreements. Additionally, through a competitive Request for Proposal selection process, a new gift shop operator began service in April of 2013. Another key organizational change took place in February of 2013 with the hiring of an Environmental Coordinator. Previously a consultant performed this function. By bringing the position in house, efficiencies and improved coordination of all environmental activities were achieved. An early accomplishment was the preparation of the winning proposal in a competition against other airports that resulted in ACK being selected by MASS DOT to become the first carbon neutral airport in the United States. Working with the Volpe Transportation Center, ACK stands to benefit through sustainability efforts and renewable energy initiatives. Additionally, the new Environmental Coordinator, working closely with the Town Energy Department, successfully implemented a lighting system upgrade in various airport buildings that has significantly reduced energy costs. On the operational front, the winter of FY 2013 will be remembered for a number of significant weather events from several snow storms and severe nor’easters to the remnants of Hurricane Sandy that devastated much of the east coast. Although the airport only encountered some minor damage throughout these events, additional personnel time and costs were required to manage these events and maintain safe operations. In June the FAA performed their annual certification inspection, which is a thorough three-day comprehensive inspection of all facets of airport operations. This inspection is part of the FAA regulatory requirements that the airport must adhere to in order to permit commercial air service operations. The inspection this year was very favorable with only two minor observations. Efforts continued in FY 2013 to address noise concerns at the airport and to educate the public about airport operations. In August, the airport held a public meeting to inform the community about the beginning of a Master Plan project that would look at such items as an inventory of existing conditions, passenger demand forecasts, airfield design, noise abatement and environmental stewardship, ground transportation and other capital development needs. Throughout the fall and winter months, a detailed scoping effort was coordinated with the FAA to ensure all relevant issues and funding matters were addressed.
Page 60
The airport has worked closely with the revitalized Nantucket Flying Association (NFA) and the Nantucket School system to add aviation related activities into the curriculum for island children. Additionally, the airport has supported the efforts of the NFA to encourage and promote aviation and flying on the island. In June, the NFA held a successful Aviation Camp that provided educational instruction to children on various aspects of aviation. Through the NFA’s efforts a flight school has begun providing the opportunity of flying lessons and sightseeing to the community. Construction activities continued during the year with the replacement of the High Intensity Runway Lights on runway 6/24 coming in ahead of time and under budget. Unfortunately the Fixed Base Operation/General Administration building suffered a setback when the airport was forced to terminate the agreement with the contractor for failure to pay its subcontractors. However a replacement contractor was brought in and completion is anticipated in the fall of 2013. A project to realign taxiway “D” which will allow for improved traffic flow on and off the aircraft parking apron was designed and bid in the second half of the fiscal year, with construction to take place in the fall of 2013. Throughout the year discussions with various FAA divisions were held to review potential alternatives for improvements to the air traffic control tower. A number of possible solutions were evaluated and a proposed resolution is expected to be presented by the FAA to the airport in the following fiscal year. During FY 2013 discussions also continued with the FAA on planning for navigational aids associated with the previous extension of runway 15/33. Replacement of the Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) with a Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) for runway 33, and the relocation of the Runway End Identifier Lights (REIL) should occur in FY 2014. Financial performance at the airport in FY 2013 was significantly improved over the past year’s performance with a turnaround from a $1 million plus projected budget deficit to an actual profit. Through improved financial processes and prudent financial management, the Finance Department has made great strides in putting the airport back on course to become self sufficient. In Fiscal Year 2013, the number of aircraft operations was up 5.77% over 2012 from 119,976 to 126,898. Passenger enplanements for the period were up 1% over the previous Fiscal Year from 173,906 to 175,328. The total gallons of fuel sold were down about 4% for the period with AvGas gallons going from 137,388 to 116,230, and Jet A fuel from 1,218,833 to 1,182,258. In summary, the airport continues to provide quality service to various sectors of the aviation community, non-aeronautical land users and the general public, in an environmentally responsible manner while balancing the financial demands needed to do so. Respectfully submitted, Thomas Rafter, A.A.E. Airport Manager

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Natural Resources enjoyed another productive year and continued to develop and expand our programs in our second year as a department. The duties of the Natural Resources Department include the Conservation Commission, Beach Management/Endangered Species Program, Shellfish Propagation, Natural Resources Enforcement/Shellfish Warden and Water Quality Program. The department is comprised of Jeff Carlson, Natural Resources Coordinator and Tara Anne Riley, Shellfish Biologist and JC Johnsen, Natural Resources Enforcement Officer. This past year we had a number of interns during the summer of 2012. We would like to give a special thanks to Leah Cabral, Steve Heck, and Kelley Coughlan 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, Michael Glowacki, Ian Golding, Andrew Bennett, and John Braginton-Smith. We would like to thank them for all of their hard work and dedication for the Commission. The Commission completed an update and revision of the Nantucket Wetland Protection Regulations. The Commission heard the following applications in this fiscal year:
Notice of Intent
Amended Order of Conditions
Request for Determination of Applicability
Minor Modifications/ Plan Changes
Certificates of Compliance
105 18 27 20 54 The Commission meets every other Wednesday at the Public Safety Facility on the second floor 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 2012 summer season. This past season the Town monitored all of the breeding protected bird species on 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. SHELLFISH PROPAGATION The Shellfish Propagation Facility was able to raise around $25,000 in donations towards the shellfish program from various grants and private donations. As 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
Page 62
increase was largely due to having the ability to purchase more efficient equipment and the ability to retain summer interns. Tara Anne Riley was selected for a second year to participate as a Shellfish Hatchery Consultant for the Wood’s Hole Oceanographic Institute’s project on the island of Zanzibar off the coast of Tanzania for six weeks in the winter. Hatchery intern Leah Cabral was also selected for the program this year. 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 board met frequently and finalized a draft of the first Shellfish Management Plan, which is a plan to protect and manage 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 are collected and processed from May through October. Monthly water samples are also collected for the Division of Marine Fisheries from both harbors, Sesachacha Pond and Coskata Pond. Respectfully submitted, Jeff Carlson Natural Resources Coordinator

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
The 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 for 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 CWMP should be completed by December 2013. 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 33,710 tons for all categories of waste in 2012 and recycled approximately 3,550 tons of recyclables. Landfill mining continued in 2012. This mining activity will provide future lined landfill space; 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 is using it extensively to do crosswalks and parking spaces. SeeClickFix was added to enhance citizen’s ability to report defects that need fixing. Respectfully submitted, Kara Buzanoski Director

WOODS HOLE, MARTHA’S VINEYARD, AND NANTUCKET STEAMSHIP AUTHORITY
The Woods Hole, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket Steamship Authority (SSA) was created in 1960, in an effort to guarantee year-round boat service to the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. Though the SSA occasionally benefits from federal or state grants for projects such as terminal renovations, slip reconstruction or new boats; fares paid by customers constitute most of the income. Any operating deficit would be assessed to the five ports served by the SSA, according to proportionate representation. Nantucket has a 35% vote. The SSA’s five members meet monthly in public, alternating between the ports. Nantucket hosted meetings in September 2012 and June 2013, at the Whaling Museum’s Discovery Room courtesy of the Nantucket Historical Association. The seven member Port Council also meets 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 SSA’s fuel hedging program has successfully managed to keep fuel expenses at around 10% of our entire budget. Other major expenses include wages, health care benefits, and maintenance of vessels and terminals. Total operating revenues for the year were close to $85 million, as of the end of June 2013, passenger traffic was up 4.1% on the Nantucket route, with autos down 3.6% and trucks up 2.1%. 2012 ended with the passing of H. Flint Ranney, long time SSA Member from Nantucket, a staunch customer service advocate and diplomatic influence on the board. In December, Robert F. Ranney, Flint’s eldest son, was appointed to replace Flint on the SSA Governing Board, pledging to continue his father’s work as a representative for Nantucket’s traveling public. 2013 began with the winter workhorse on the Nantucket route, the M/V Nantucket, requiring emergency repairs due to worn hull plating, accomplished in a remarkable two-days, during a period of very strong winter storms. During some periods of astronomically low tide cycles, the Hyannis Channel had become impassable to the M/V Eagle after its return to service in the spring, due to shoaling from Hurricane Sandy and a seemingly continuous barrage of strong winter storms. With the cooperation of the SSA, the towns of Nantucket and Barnstable, the Army Corps of Engineers, and state and local representatives navigating a myriad of permitting and environmental issues, maintenance dredging of the Hyannis Channel was begun at the end of June as a temporary fix. Between the SSA and Hyline, over 1,000,000 passengers a year pass through the Port of Hyannis. We would like to thank all of our employees from every department for the professionalism and contributions they bring to their respective roles on a daily basis. Maintaining the SSA as the lifeline to the islands would not have been possible without our employees’ collective dedication and commitment. Respectfully submitted, Robert F. Ranney, Governing Board, Nantucket Member Nathaniel Lowell, Port Council Member

VISITOR SERVICES
The Nantucket 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 tax (5.7%) and local tax (6%) which totals 11.7%. The local share of 6% is then returned to the Town and the Nantucket Visitor Services Department budget is based on 30% of the 4% of the local amount. The Visitor Center at 25 Federal Street continues to be the main office for providing up-to-date information on events, activities, services, clubs, organizations, museums, businesses, lodging and restaurants as well as special events. The office is open year-round to the public and is a gateway for both visitors and residents on island. The office welcomes over 60,000 people a year and serves as a daily referral service for available rooms including the helpful seasonal one night list and cancellations for holiday and event weekends. The office maintains lists of restaurant openings and closings and also keeps menus available to the public. For those traveling by boat, a satellite kiosk on Straight Wharf provides information to visitors and residents seven days a week during the summer season. The department produced 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, calling (508) 228-0925, e-mailing towninfo@nantucket-ma.gov or downloading from our website: www.nantucket-ma.gov/visitor. Visitor Services helps to sponsor and organize the Fourth of July fireworks exhibition at Jetties Beach. Although fundraising has been done in the past, Nantucket Visitor Services is grateful to the Town of Nantucket for funding them this year.
Page 66
Visitor Services produced and facilitated all Town events and activities at Children’s Beach. This included the Tie-Dye Clinic, Friday Night Checkers, Kickball and the Summer Breeze Concert Series including Tuesdays with Tony. Nantucket Visitor Services handled all PR and outreach to the community and media outlets with press releases, e-mails and updates on its website. Visitor Services along with assistance from ReMain Nantucket created the first Nantucket New Year’s celebration for 2013. Held over four days, it consisted of community events available for all ages including a laser light show, a gala ball, cabaret and children’s activities including a craft workshop and concert. Visitor Services maintains a social media account on Twitter with NantucketBuzz. With over 700 followers it tweets out information to the public regarding public announcements and fun community events on the Island. Visitor Services once again held the Island Christmas Light Decorating Contest. In its 7th year, the public votes for their favorite home light up for the holiday season and the Inquirer and Mirror newspaper prints photographs of the winning entries. Respectfully submitted, Kate Hamilton Pardee Director SIASCONSET WATER DEPARTMENT
The following activities are highlights of the fiscal year for the Siasconset Water Department. The Water Commission awarded a contract to Winston Builders for upgrade of the pumping station electrical and chemical feed systems, installation of a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system to allow for constant monitoring and control of the Sconset system from Wannacomet Water Co. as well as other remote locations. Additional work under the contract includes the renovation of the dug well pumping station, generator building and the summer office. An external electrical connection was installed at the pump station as a means of providing backup electrical service until the pump station work is completed in the fall of 2013. The cooperation of the Nantucket Memorial Airport staff made this possible. They allowed their portable generator to be upgraded to supply the power supply to the pumping station if necessary. The Commission would also like to thank David Fronzuto, Emergency Management Coordinator, for his assistance in this project. 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. A proposal was received from Verizon and an agreement is expected to be reached in the fall of 2013. Total production for the fiscal year was 66,220,000 gallons. This is an increase of 4.274,000 gallons (6.5%) over Fiscal Year 2012. The highest recorded consumption ever recorded for a single day was 632,000 gallons registered on July 16, 2012.
Page 67
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, Nantucket Memorial Airport, the Town Manager and the Wannacomet Water Company for their help and assistance throughout the year. Respectfully submitted, Siasconset Water Commission Gerald Eldridge, Chair Robert Benchley, III, Clerk John Pearl
WANNACOMET WATER COMPANY
The following are highlights that were achieved during Fiscal Year 2013. Total fiscal year production from all of the wells was 570,861,000 gallons. This represents a 2.92% increase from the previous fiscal year. The increase was due to record production in the first quarter of the year. For the first time more than 4,000,000 gallons was pumped in a day and it happened nine times. The wet weather in the last quarter of the fiscal year resulted in production being significantly under the average. The peak production day for the fiscal year was 4,327,732 gallons on July 6, 2012. This was the highest production day ever for Wannacomet. Phase III of the system extension to Madaket (Madaket Road, Ames Avenue, Starbuck Road and Washington Avenue) was awarded to Holdgate Partners, Inc. and the project was completed in the spring of 2013. Under the direction of Chris Pykosz, Operations Manager, Wannacomet continues to strengthen its distribution system by replacing aging water mains, valves and services. Much of the work for FY 2013 was done in conjunction with the Phase IIB sewer work being done in the core district and administered by the Department of Public Works. Under the direction of Mark Willett, staff engineer, Wannacomet undertook the development of a unidirectional flushing system to optimize the benefits of the annual flushing of the system. This system is linked to the hydraulic computer model of the system and is managed using cloud technology. All field work is logged into and recorded on iPads. Customer Service Supervisor Janice Davis retired from Wannacomet after 35 years of loyal service. Jan’s warm smile and “how can I help you” attitude will be missed and we wish her well in retirement. Upon Jan’s retirement an internal reorganization was undertaken and Linda Roberts was hired as project coordinator. The MassDEP conducted a sanitary survey of the Wannacomet System including source protection, operations and maintenance procedures and programs, water storage facilities and emergency response
Page 68
procedures. This survey is conducted on a three year rotation and once again Wannacomet received excellent ratings in all categories. 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. Respectfully submitted, Robert L. Gardner General Manager

PLANNING AND LAND USE SERVICES REPORTS
The department of Planning and Land Use Services (PLUS) was established at the beginning of FY 2013. PLUS contains five divisions, including: Building, Health, Historic District Commission, Planning, and Zoning. The former “Code Enforcement” department was consolidated with the offices of Planning and Zoning and placed under the leadership of the Director of Planning. This reorganization has resulted greater staffing and monetary efficiency, improved customer service, expanded hours of operation, combined staff functions, and implementation of a “one-stop-shop” approach to permitting. As more experience is gained as a consolidated permitting agency, further efficiencies may be realized in the future. BUILDING DIVISION In coordination with the Health Division and Fire Department, the Building Division reviews applications, performs inspections, and investigates reported violations to ensure compliance with applicable Massachusetts laws and regulations governing building, zoning, and public safety. Building division staff includes the Building Commissioner, Local Building Inspector, Plumbing and Gas Inspector, Wiring Inspector, and Zoning Compliance Officer. The Building Division continued to see an increase in inspection requests, permit applications, and code compliance activities from recent fiscal years. HEALTH DIVISION In January of 2013, local Fertilizer Regulations became effective with the intent of further reducing nutrient loading to our harbors and ponds. Both the Administrative Consent Order Regulations and the Septic Repair Management Fund provided relief from extensive septic repairs and a means to initially fund these repairs within our harbor recharge districts as a means of further reducing nutrient loading. Funding was secured for both mosquito and tick-borne disease remediation and public education and the Board of Health initiated a program of public and environmental health symposiums. Future anticipated activities center around increasing public education efforts for tick-borne disease and additional symposiums on island and national public and environmental health topics. 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. The HDC continued its 58th year by holding 82 meetings. The number of Certificates of Appropriateness issued and the inspections requested continued on an upward trend. The HDC issued the 59,866th Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) at the close of the fiscal year.
Page 70
PLANNING AND ZONING DIVISIONS The Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals continued to review applications for special permits and variances, within their respective jurisdictions, at regularly scheduled monthly meetings. The Planning Board successfully advanced warrant articles for the 2013 ATM to implement objectives of the 2009 Master Plan. Application requests to both Boards increased from recent fiscal years in FY 2013, with the Board of Appeals experiencing a significant increase in all types of applications and the Planning Board experiencing an increase in secondary dwelling and other types of small scale project applications. Respectfully submitted, Andrew Vorce, AICP Director of Planning

PUBLIC SAFETY REPORTS
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Nantucket Fire Department (NFD) personnel were challenged in FY 2013 with incidents such as a large scale fire at the landfill involving the construction and demolition (C&D) building along with several heavy equipment vehicles parked inside the building. C&D fires take a large amount of time, staffing and apparatus to extinguish. Timing was very important to mitigate this fire due to an approaching nor’easter storm with concerns of high winds, reigniting and spreading of the fire. The NFD also responded to a considerable building fire in the downtown location at 56 Center Street. This was a fast moving fire that was started due to flammable fumes that built up and ignited from interior propane heaters. Members of the NFD, Police Department, Harbormaster and dispatchers were involved in a difficult water rescue that saved a life in Polpis Harbor. Some of the challenges to overcome during this rescue were high winds, currents and low visibility while trying to locate the individual in the water. Our fire calls were up 28% compared to last year. Fire alarm activations were up by 10%, inspectional services were up by 2%, and ambulance calls were comparable to last year resulting in a 6% increase in total runs for FY 2013. Members of the NFD, in conjunction with the Barnstable Fire Academy, 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 and fire training covering building ventilation and application of hand tools. 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. Future Initiatives As the Chief of the department I feel that this is the year to discuss the need for a new fire station and that it be reviewed seriously. In September, 2013 the NFD will switch over to Central Public Safety Dispatching. This is the next step to accomplish before designing and building a new fire station. Discussion with the Board of Selectmen resulted in the agreement to form a citizen advisory committee for the following fiscal year to investigate and review all options for a new fire station. There is a lot of work still ahead and I believe the need and justification for a new station will become evident in the year to come. Fire Suppression/EMS Responses/Inspections The Fire Department responded to 3910 requests for assistance in FY 2013. Calls for FY 2013
Fire 57 EMS 1,276 Hazardous Condition 389

Service Call 362 Alarm Activations 1,102 Inspections 724
Fire Prevention/Fire Alarm/Code Enforcement Fire Prevention Risk reduction benefits an entire community; the NFD uses a wide range of prevention resources and messages to communicate the importance of taking action to protect both firefighters and civilians from the dangers of fire. Highlights of fire prevention outreach include the SAFE program (Student Awareness of Fire Education for children ages 3-18). During the 2013 Fire Prevention Week, classroom presentations and station visits with educational sessions utilizing NFPA’s “Learn Not to Burn” curriculum were utilized. Program successes are measured with formal evaluation tools to discern students’ level of fire safety knowledge in 3rd grade. Workplace fire safety programs have expanded beyond housing facilities and municipal organizations to private businesses and hospitality organizations. The department also continues to partner with other organizations in outreach for fire and life safety. Working closely with the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, wildfire prevention and safeguarding of our islands’ conservation properties and nearby homes have been the focus of presentations to a variety of homeowner organizations and public events. The department continues to improve its ability to respond to community members with cognitive and physical disabilities. The ever increasing population of older adults (65 and older) who live independently, though admirable, is also concerning from a fire and life safety standpoint. Recently, in less than one week’s time, several cooking accidents occurred at homes where residents were over 80 years old, which could have resulted in serious personal injury. Fire Prevention is working closely with other organizations and senior residential living facilities to identify residents who are at risk of fire and implement proper safeguards and education. Fire Alarm Continuation of upgrades to the municipal fire alarm system is still an ongoing process. As of June 30, 2013 all properties were removed from the Siasconset Gamewell Fire Alarm System and the process of overhead wire removal has begun. Residential and commercial properties that were on the system have been converted to either private alarm companies or connected to the Town’s upgraded radio reporting system (SIGCOM).The NFD will continue working with existing building owners and new commercial property project owners to ensure that they receive the best possible coverage and response from the NFD. The Fire Alarm Superintendent, along with employees of National Grid, Verizon and Comcast worked with local contractors to help facilitate the movement of repurposed buildings over the streets of Nantucket. This repurposing of buildings allows families to obtain a useable structure for less than normal construction cost and also results in a reduction in construction debris waste within our landfill. This trend in repurposing buildings seems to be steady year to year. As you have read in the beginning of this report the NFD responded to a considerable size fire at the landfill involving C&D waste. Every house repurposed diminishes the potential of overloading storage of this material on the island before being shipped off island.

DEPARTMENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS Expanded Services: During the summer months we expanded the hours that the general public could purchase permits from eight hours per day to 12 hours per day, seven days a week. Community Policing: We graduated three sessions of the Citizen’s Police Academy. Our Volunteer program VIP’s provided 2,457 hours of volunteer service which represents over $64,700 in volunteer time to the Department Public Safety Emergency Communications: The Public Safety Radio system authorized by voters at the 2006 Annual Town Meeting finally became fully operational facilitating communications between all Town departments and partner agencies. A remote fire alarm panel was installed in the central dispatch center in preparation for assuming dispatching responsibilities for the fire department scheduled to occur early in FY 2014. Public Safety Information Technology: We successfully installed a VOIP phone system into 37 Washington Street and 2 Fairgrounds Road allowing us to significantly reduce the amount of Verizon phone lines that the Town pays for monthly. We also fully mapped the Town and the Public Safety IT networks which will provide us a guide to future hardware needs and consolidation opportunities as well as identify potential holes in our network security systems. Lifeguard Program: Acting on a petition from residents with support of the Board of Selectman we opened Dionis Beach as a lifeguarded beach for the 2012 summer season. Also, the Board of Selectman adopted a new policy to be implemented at the lifeguarded beaches in the event of confirmed shark sightings near those beaches. Town Pier and Floating Docks: An engineering study was conducted on the Town Pier and floating docks following the storms of the 2012/13 winter season. The study recommended replacement of the floating docks with a more robust system made of floating concrete sections. A Request for Proposal will be prepared and a contract awarded to replace the floating wooden docks with a concrete floating dockage system. The manufacturing, permitting and installation of these docks is expected to be completed in FY 2014. Aids-to-Navigation (ATON): Staff set 104 buoys, marking all the channels in Nantucket Harbor, Children’s Beach Auxiliary Channel, Polpis Harbor, Madaket Harbor 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. We were unable to mark the channel to Tuckernuck due to shoaling which occurred during the winter storms. Maritime Search and Rescue (SAR): The department responded to 104 search and rescue calls logging over 500 hours underway on the departments vessels in FY 2013. Emergency Management: Emergency responders successfully implemented the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) for the approach of hurricane Sandy, October 22, 2012. This storm event proved to be a real life drill for the island in hurricane preparations allowing us to identify strengths and weaknesses in our planning. Working with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) we developed procedures to be used for Town departments for preparation of the initial damage
Page 76
assessment documents necessary to be filed with MEMA to obtain reimbursement for federally declared disasters. FY 2014 GOALS Police Operations
• Capital Planning: with the added infrastructure responsibilities that came along with the consolidation, the department will develop a long-term capital plan to help identify future budgetary needs.
• Policies and Procedures: We will continue to update departmental policy manuals to reflect the protocols that must be in place for the Police, Marine and Emergency Communications personnel. The objective of the updated manual will be to provide guidance to employees in the execution of their missions.
• Staffing: We will complete the staffing plan for the central dispatch facility by hiring two additional dispatchers which will allow us to become operational as a central dispatch facility for all police, fire, medical and marine calls island-wide in FY 2014.
• VOIP Telephone System: We will continue forward with expansion of the Town VOIP phone system by expanding it into the Town building campus, 34 Washington Street and exploring our options for installation into the enterprise fund departments. Marine Operations
• Dredge the Polpis Harbor entrance channel to improve navigation and safety.
• Improve safety on the South Shore beaches by making enhancements to the Lifeguard program.
• Develop a capital improvement plan for the Town Pier and floating dock systems. Emergency Management
• Update the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) and submit it to the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) for approval.
• Receive designation from the National Weather Service as “Storm Ready Community.”
• Update the Town’s compliance with NIMS mandates and submit the annual report to MEMA.
• Conduct at least one table top disaster exercise based on real life scenarios for the island.
• Conduct a needs analysis to determine whether the Town should invest in an island-wide emergency alert system. SUMMARY OF CRIME STATS ARRESTS FY 2010 FY 2011 FY 2012 FY 2013 Drug Offenses 28 28 39 43 DWI Offenses 72 38 73 87

SCHOOL REPORTS
This report is a summary of school departments for FY 2013: July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013 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 2012-2013 was another outstanding year for the Nantucket Public Schools! The administrative team remained intact throughout the year, providing the consistency so important in directing the local, state and federal initiatives that will improve the academic performance of our students. We are now into our second full year of the district’s Strategic Plan and continue to tackle and accomplish many of the actions outlined in that plan. The Common Core State Standards and the eventuality of a new assessment system designed to correlate with those standards will be the driving force for our work in the next five years. We are fortunate to have students who demonstrate daily 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. While we are proud of those being accepted to schools such as Harvard, Dartmouth and Middlebury, 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! While our schools have had many successes, we are also faced with challenges, none as great as our dramatic increase in enrollment. We have exploded from 1,233 students in October of 2009 to 1,386 in October of 2012 and an additional 100 students added over the summer of 2013, resulting in a count of 1,481 in October of 2013. School Enrollment Academic years 2013-2014 vs. 2012-2013 vs. 2011-2012: NES CPS NHS Total October 2011 633 300 397 1,330 students
October 2012 656 306 424 1,386 students October 2013 683 348 450 1,481 students The school district continues to maintain relationships with local organizations. The Nantucket Historical Association, the Egan Institute, Maria Mitchell Association, ReMain Nantucket, the Boys’ and Girls’ Club and Strong Wings are among the community organizations that provide students with enrichment opportunities. 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
Page 79
our children and take pride in providing a learning atmosphere that promotes intellectual challenge and emotional well being. A school system is only as good as its teaching faculty. 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. MCAS has three primary purposes: 1) to inform and improve curriculum and instruction; 2) to evaluate student, school and district performance according to the Massachusetts curriculum framework content standards; and 3) to determine whether a student has met the state requirements for the Competency Determination, i.e. whether a student is eligible for a high school diploma. Every public school student, including students with disabilities, must participate in the MCAS. Results on the MCAS tests are reported by achievement levels that describe a student’s knowledge and skills as they relate to the MCAS performance standards and the state content standards. Students receive a separate score and attain a separate achievement level in each subject area. School and district results are reported according to the percentage of students attaining each achievement level in each grade level or subject area tested. Students in grades 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 2011-2012 school year resulting from the MCAS given during the spring of 2012 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. 95% of high school sophomores scored Proficient or higher for ELA. 80% scored Proficient or higher in Math.
• Results in mathematics for grades 3-8 were disappointing and this must be an area of improvement.
• Our high needs subgroups (ELL, Special Needs and low income students) are below targets and we must do a better job to help them improve their achievement scores.
• Nantucket High School has been designated a Level 1 (highest) school indicating that all students have met their MCAS targets.
• CPS has been designated a Level 2 school indicating that students met most, but not all, of their MCAS targets.
• NES has been designated a Level 2 school indicating that students met most, but not all, of their MCAS targets.
• On a scale of 1-5, Level 1 indicates that a 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. Our designation by the state as a Level 2 District indicates that we are performing adequately, but need to help our “high needs” students perform at a higher achievement level.

Nantucket Elementary School 2012-2013 was another busy year at Nantucket Elementary School. The administrative team in place continues to be: Kimberly Kubisch, Principal; Nina Slade, Associate Principal Pre-K – 2; and Michael Horton, Associate Principal 3-5. Nina Slade provides English Language Arts support across Pre-K through fifth grade classrooms and Michael Horton provides Math support across Pre-K through fifth grade. The three of us spent a great deal of time in classrooms formally observing teaching and learning. The staff and students continued to embrace Responsive Classroom as the classroom management model for the school. The Standards based report card was refined even further. We implemented Math Expressions for the fourth year as the core math program, and for the second year the Language Arts Program Houghton-Mifflin Journeys is used. Both of these resources were utilized, refined, and expanded upon to support the teaching and learning of the Common Core State Standards and the Massachusetts Frameworks. To support staff with boosting student engagement in their learning, all classrooms have SMART interactive whiteboards and these were added to most of our special area classrooms this past year as well. Professional development was provided and teachers worked together to support all of their learning in using this very innovative technology. We also had professional development sessions for teachers creating SMART goals for their own professional practice, for student learning goals, for differentiated instruction and for co-teaching. The NES staff collected and utilized 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. MCAS results also helped to provide necessary student performance information. Our school provides support for learning for students with a variety of needs, from special education to students who speak English-as-a-Second-Language to children who are advanced. The data mentioned above helped us to create co-teaching classrooms at every grade level with students who have special needs and the support of a Teaching Assistant and a certified Special Education teacher in those two rooms at every grade. 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. Students who receive ELL services were grouped by ability in classrooms so that ELL staff was able to better schedule students and push in to classrooms. Nantucket Elementary School hired after-school MCAS tutors through Title I Grant funds. Students were selected based upon low MCAS performance. In addition, we had an afterschool ELL tutor who worked with some of our non-English speaking students in the testing grades. In collaboration with the Nantucket Community School, we also held an after school homework club. The population requiring these services continues to grow. Francie Baskett continues to be the school’s ISLE program teacher for students with special talents or areas of interest. Our students had the opportunity to participate in the long standing traditional field trips again. The third grade, in conjunction with their Social Studies content, went to Plimoth Plantation; the fourth grade had their annual sleepover at the Boston Museum of Science; and the fifth grade did their three-day pilgrimage to Yarmouth Port, MA for Nature’s Classroom learning experiences. In addition, our fourth grade students
Page 81
reaped the benefits of our new community partnership with the Nantucket Historical Association. They had the opportunity to live like whalers and enjoy a sleepover at the Whaling Museum in the fall. This night included learning about all aspects of living on a whale ship: the food, the culture, the work, and the travel. We were sad to say goodbye to Karen Olszewski and Kit Fruscione who served our students with heart and soul for 25 years and 21 years respectively. Cyrus Peirce Middle School 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, parents and community members continued to examine and assess current programs, identify areas of improvement and establish goals in areas we need to improve. 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. As a school, we therefore set forth to maintain initiatives which support our school’s mission. During the 2012–2013 school year our staff continued the school’s focus on instruction, as well as relevant programming which serves to foster a positive school climate for students in the difficult transition years. 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. The staff has developed a continuum of positive behavior support for all students within the school in areas including the classroom and non-classroom settings (such as hallways, buses, and restrooms). This program has helped to build consistency for students in the school so that they can work and achieve in an environment conducive to learning. We also continued using Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) which is an adaptive assessment system designed to determine student strengths and weaknesses in language arts and math. Teachers use this data to inform their instruction and focus on remediation in areas where student performance is low. Transitions continue to be a focus for the school just as they are for middle school students entering the sixth grade or leaving for high school. Staff at Cyrus Peirce Middle School held a 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 our successful Jump-Up Day. Both events serve as a way to orient incoming students and their families to the building and to the staff. At the end of the school year, we were sad to learn that Principal Scott Meadows and his family were returning to Virginia. We were also sad to lose Karla Butler to her well-earned retirement. We wish them the best. Nantucket High School Whaler Pride continues as the mission of Nantucket High School. As an acronym Whaler Pride articulates – 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. Fulfilling our mission, Nantucket High School had a solid year of achievement. For the second year in a row, 100% of students taking the English Language Arts MCAS test passed on their first
Page 82
try. Tests in mathematics and science also showed growth in scores, with the number of students achieving the highest two levels – advanced and proficient - increased. Several students were recognized outside of NHS for their academic achievement, including five, the largest number in recent history, earning the opportunity to participate in the National Merit Qualifying Program. One NHS Junior student achieved a perfect score on both the critical reading and writing sections of the SAT test. The Principal’s List Breakfast continued to grow with a record number of students qualifying each quarter. Our School to Career program continued to see the “island as our campus.” Nearly a third of the graduating class participated in this program, benefiting both the students and the various community partners willing to provide these extended learning opportunities. We are grateful to the Chamber of Commerce, Nantucket Historical Association, Maria Mitchell, Nantucket Comedy Festival, Nantucket Community Television, and countless businesses and organizations for their support. As a learning community, the faculty and staff spent the year working on curriculum development through Understanding by Design. Our Advanced Placement program expanded by three courses, had a record number of students participate and saw very impressive scores, the highest in years, in English and United States History. Our School Council continued to monitor academic achievement after implementing the change in our athletic eligibility standard. The increase required that a student fail no course, a higher metric than required by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association. As a result, we saw fewer failures and the average GPA per sport per season improved across the board. In addition to academic issues, the Council, through the school improvement plan monitors the safety and security of our school, staff, students and programs, our communication and outreach as well as issues relating to accreditation. John J. Buckey completed his fifth year as principal of Nantucket High School. In June, Mr. Buckey led 83 graduates through graduation exercises, replete with a keynote address from John Shea, actor and island director of the Theatre Workshop of Nantucket. The class of 2013 enjoyed much success both in and out of the classroom. Post-secondary plans for the class were diverse with over 80% of our students continuing on to further education. These plans included, prestigious colleges and universities, fine, applied and performing arts schools and technical institutes. Nantucket High School seniors Joseph “Jojo” Zieff and Wisima “Sam” Nipatnantaporn were named the 2013 Nantucket Scholars. Nantucket High School graduates from 2013 and numerous alumni 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. We want to offer our heartfelt thanks to two teachers who retired this year, Elaine Russell and Marilyn Barrett, whose commitment to our schools and our students was extraordinary and greatly appreciated. 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. System-wide services for students, ages 3 – 22, include academic classroom support, behavioral classroom support, co-taught classes, specialized instruction in individualized or small group settings, substantially separate programming for students with significant special needs, occupational therapy,
Page 83
speech and language therapy, physical therapy, behavioral therapy, parent consultation, counseling, social skills instruction, early intervention support, extended school year services, assessment and diagnosis. The focus for the Special Services Department during the 2013-2013 school year was the Coordinated Program Review. Every six years, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) conducts a comprehensive audit of Special Education, Civil Rights, and English Language Learners. The audit is extensive and analyzes all aspects of service delivery for compliance with state and federal regulations. In addition to reviewing district documents, policies, handbooks, IEPs, 504 Accommodation Plans, translated documents and letters, discipline procedures, bullying and harassment procedures, Title IX, facilities, and parent advisory councils (just to name a few), DESE sent a visiting team (April 22-April 25, 2013) to the district to interview staff, parents, community members, administrators, and students. The visiting team toured all facilities, observed classrooms and conducted a parent survey. In August of 2013, DESE issued its formal report regarding compliance in two of the three audited areas: Special Education and Civil Rights. The formal report regarding compliance in English Language Learners will not be available until January of 2014. In the report, Special Education and Civil Rights was found to be in full compliance with 92 of 98 federal statutes. The district was found to be in partial compliance with the remaining six statutes. The district was not found to be fully out of compliance in any area. Areas of partial compliance included the following: one CPS classroom needed to be relocated, one NES classroom needed to be relocated, the district needed to convene Special Education Parent Advisory Council meetings on a monthly basis, and several narrative sections of IEPs needed to be more explicit and detailed. The full report of the Coordinated Program Review is available on the website and in the Superintendent’s office. In response to the final report, the district has until June, 2014 to correct the areas of partial compliance and implement the recommendations of DESE. Many of DESE’s recommendations have already been implemented. During 2012-2013, Special Services provided a range of professional development activities including workshops on Co-Teaching, Proloquo (augmentative communication), Language-Based Strategies for the Classroom, Behavioral Strategies for the Classroom and Transitions to Adult Services. Approximately 217 students were provided services in our local schools through an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) during 2012-2013. This represents about 15.5% of our student body and is slightly below with the state average of 17%. In addition, approximately nine 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 72 students who receive classroom accommodations in accordance with 504 Accommodation Plans. Technology Department The Nantucket Public Schools technology department is responsible for all infrastructure, systems, applications, classroom tools, repair and maintenance, coordination of mandated state and federal data collection and reporting, and staff professional development in the use of these systems and applications. The technology department provides the technology infrastructure as well as administrative and classroom tools to enrich the experience of our students. There are four primary areas that the district technology
Page 84
department focuses on: Educational Technology; Infrastructure; Professional Development; Data Collection and Reporting. Educational Technology Technology purchases are aligned with the educational and administrative needs of the school community. Educational technology initiatives included adding SMART Boards, traditional desktop computers, laptop computers, iPads and Chromebooks to classrooms at all schools. Google Apps for Education was introduced as a method for collaborating and sharing of documents. The high school introduced a bring your own device (BYOD) policy for staff and students and the technology department provided a registration process to allow these devices to connect to the district wireless network. Infrastructure The district was able to acquire new technology tools in all three schools as follows: 168 desktop computers; 148 laptops; 20 iPads; 16 Chromebooks; and 11 SMART Boards with projectors. These acquisitions allowed for the replacement of aging equipment and the move toward mobile computing. FONPS generously funded the purchase of some Chromebooks and iPads. A voice over IP (VOIP) phone system was installed, the new location for the Community School at First Way was connected to the main campus via fiber optic cable and the first year of a two-year project to replace network switches was initiated. Professional Development The focus for professional development is to provide high quality training for using technology in the classroom. Sessions included SMART Board interactive whiteboards, SchoolCenter website development and Google Apps for Education. DESE Data Collection The technology department coordinates state data collection efforts, provides professional development to data entry staff and maintains the software and hardware necessary to perform these tasks. DESE data collection for student demographic, staff and teacher highly-qualified, and course catalog data is performed in October, March and June of each school year. 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. Projects completed in the 2012-2013 school year include the complete renovation of our Large Group Instruction (LGI) space in the high school; bathroom upgrades at NHS; a new fitness center in the high school; safety and security measures at all three schools; the fire pump replacement; roof replacement at NES; the pool adult locker rooms; and the renovation of the photo lab into a computer lab for art classes at the high school. In addition to all of these projects, we procured an additional modular classroom for the ever increasing enrollment population in that school. Projects we expect to complete in the 2013-14 school year include the re-surfacing of the gym floors in all three schools; air conditioning of the Mary P. Walker auditorium; and completing the Backus Lane storage unit. Nantucket Community School The Nantucket Community School experienced tremendous and exciting change throughout the 2012-2013 school year beginning with a transition in directorship from Pauline Proch to Caitlin Waddington and ending with a physical move to their new office located at 32 First Way in the former Teen Center.
Page 85
The Adult Education and Enrichment, Community Pool, Early Childhood Education, Children’s Enrichment, Extended Day and Summer ACKventure programs remained exceptionally busy throughout the year. The Community School’s Early Childhood Education team provided 102 different programs to our youngest islanders (infants through age five/six) and their families. While some of those 102 programs were one-time events, most met multiple times. For instance, each of the three Ready, Set, School! Kindergarten readiness “cohorts” met weekly for 10+ weeks. Clearly, our Early Childhood Center located within the Nantucket High School continued to serve as a community gathering space for many of our young families with close to 2,000 drop-in visits by our children during the 2012/13 school year. Our Extended Day after-school program expanded to provide 36 children with more than 475 hours of safe, fun, nurturing and quality childcare within their familiar and trusted school environment. Our Driver’s Education program was offered three times over the course of the year with an “islander preferred” intensive option offered in early summer. The Nantucket Community School’s Community Pool provided a variety of fitness, competitive and recreational aquatic opportunities for children, teens and adults. Additionally, all public school students enrolled in third through twelfth grade benefited from swim classes that were incorporated into their P.E. curriculum during their regular instructional day. Our Nantucket Community Pool’s youth swim team, the Dolphins, provided our younger swimmers with six months of a competitive swim experience in the Southeastern Massachusetts Swim League. Our team continues to shine with a high number of team wins and personal bests. The Community Pool also served as home to the Nantucket High School’s Varsity Swimming and Diving team, and as a rental space for birthday parties, summer camp and baptisms. We sincerely appreciate ReMain Nantucket’s steadfast support and commitment to the Nantucket community. ReMain rallied to continue the remodel of 56 Centre Street with an emphasis on preserving history in their ongoing effort to create a downtown home for many of our Nantucket Community School programs. Their comprehensive vision and planning facilitated a streamlined offering of Adult Education and Enrichment classes at the Greenhound Building throughout the year. Your insight is always appreciated. Please share your ideas, questions and suggestions with the Director of the Nantucket Community School, Caitlin Waddington at waddingtonc@nps.k12.ma.us or 508-228-7285. Please remember to visit the website www.nantucketcommunityschool.org regularly, as new programs for all ages are posted as they arise. The Nantucket Public Schools have improved each and every year, 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 enhance 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. Respectfully submitted, W. Michael Cozort Superintendent

3The Massachusetts Community Preservation Act has both local and state funding components. A portion of the state funding is collected by the Registry of Deeds, and consists of a $20 surcharge on filing fees. The state Department of Revenue receives these funds. These surcharges help pay for the acquisition, creation and preservation of open space for recreational use, the acquisition and preservation of historic places and the creation, preservation and support of community housing.
4Chapter 4 of the Acts of 2003 created the Technology Fund. The $5 technology fee is charged on all filing fees. The state Department of Revenue receives this fee, which is to be used by the Registries for technology advances. The Technology Fund has been extended through June 30, 2016.
5Chapter 4 of the Acts of 2003 also raised the recording fees. The state Department of Revenue receives all the increased fees. These fees were generated to help raise revenue for the Commonwealth. Accomplishments for fiscal year 2013 include the following:
• Increased efficiency of document storage.
• Increased efficiency of microfilm processing and storing. Our goals for fiscal year 2014 are:
• Upgrades to office space. Our current staff consists of Register Jennifer H. Ferreira, Assistant Register Kimberly A. Cassano, and Administrative Assistant Jessica Gage. Respectfully submitted, Jennifer H. Ferreira Register of Deeds

TOWN AND COUNTY BOARD/COMMITTEE/COMMISSION REPORTS
ABATEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The three-member Abatement Advisory Committee meets monthly during the year and as required by the Tax Assessor during the tax-billing season. During the fiscal year 2013 the Committee was able to assist the Assessor in the timely review and disposition of 305 real property abatement applications. In February of 2013 David Callahan was appointed to fill the vacant seat of H. Flint Ranney who passed away in December of 2012 after a brief illness. The Committee is extremely grateful for his 18 years of dedicated service.
Respectfully submitted, Judith A. Moran Chairwoman
ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF NON-VOTING TAXPAYERS
The purpose of the Advisory Committee of Non-Voting Taxpayers (ACNVT) is to convey to the Nantucket Board of Selectmen the concerns of seasonal Nantucket residents who vote in other jurisdictions. Those domiciled in places other than Nantucket pay approximately 70% of the residential real estate taxes collected by the Town.
Page 89
During fiscal year 2013, six public meetings of the ACNVT were held beginning July 14, 2012 and the last June 29, 2013. During these meetings, the committee had the opportunity to hear from two members of the Board of Selectmen and the Town Manager regarding issues facing the Town. The committee members brought to the meetings reports of issues raised by 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 fifth Summer Forum which was well attended. The committee reviewed the following matters/issues brought to its attention:
• Wastewater management: options for Madaket, mandating septic pumpouts
• Preservation of natural vegetation on lots undergoing development
• Room Occupancy Tax: possibility of extension to seasonal vacation home rentals
• Sconset bluff armoring: assessment of pros and cons
• Adequacy of housing for summer residents
• Sewer system: cost allocations, recovery of charges unpaid after hookups
• Undergrounding of utility wires in the Core District
• In-town parking: proposed improvements
• Town alternative energy initiatives: cost justification of on-island wind generators
• Priority bike paths: In-town, Quaker-Prospect Street, First Way, and Tom Nevers
• Nantucket Hunting Association: pros and cons
• Town’s tourism policies: top priority to interests of year-round, then summer residents
• Sustaining harmony between year-round and summer residents Respectfully submitted, Howard N. Blitman, P.E. Chairman
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. During the fall of 2012 we had a productive meeting with Director of Planning Andrew Vorce. Based on his advice we formed three work groups that include Animal Education/Permitting, Grants/Community Preservation and Mapping Agricultural Land. Each of these groups have been working to form a better understanding of the topic, having met with appropriate town stakeholders and continue to refine recommendations to move forward On December 13th, members attended a meeting with our local National Resource and Conservation Service (NRC) members hosted by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation and learned of many opportunities available to our agriculture community – grants for organic farming and aquaculture among others
Page 90
This spring our motion to encourage appropriate agriculture uses on underutilized Town-owned land was accepted by the Board of Selectman and is excited to continue this conversation. Dylan Wallace has been acting as our Chairperson and Amy Zielinski as our Secretary. In the coming months we will continue the task of updating meetings agendas and minutes online and continuing to set our work plan priorities in motion. Thank you for your support and for the opportunity to advocate for agriculture on Nantucket. Respectfully submitted, Dylan Wallace Chairman
CEMETERY COMMISSION
The purpose of the Nantucket Cemetery Commission is to: 1. Provide adequate space for the town’s burial needs. 2. Provide for the maintenance, in perpetuity, of the grounds and monuments in all of the cemeteries controlled by the Town of Nantucket. 3. Provide complete and accurate records of those buried in Town controlled cemeteries. 4. 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. During FY 2013, the Cemetery Commission continued its work to determine the location of available burial space within the Town controlled cemeteries focusing on Newtown and Polpis Cemeteries. We have received several requests of burial plots at Polpis and the Colored Cemetery and, working with our cemetery consultant, have located space for plots in these three cemeteries. We have ordered numbered and lettered metal pins to mark plot corners and plan to survey and lay out burial plots for sale by the Town in the fall of 2013.
Page 91
Our committee has also developed draft regulations for the Town’s cemeteries and has begun developing procedures and forms needed for cemetery operations including prices, procedures for recording and selling or leasing lots and other issues. We met with DPW Director, Kara Buzanoski, regarding establishment a cemetery department and superintendent within the DPW to oversee operation and maintenance of Town cemeteries, Cemetery Commission policy and legal authority. We have also been working to develop a brochure describing the cemeteries and services provided by the Town. A berm was created between Newtown Cemetery and the high school athletic fields through the generous donation of time, planning and resources by Atlantic Development Corp. and Toscana Corp., Bracken Engineering, The Sconset Gardner, Water Works Irrigation, Wannacomet Water Company, the school system and others. The Town is also proceeding with the taking of three adjacent lots to Newtown, which will provide additional cemetery space and an improved entrance. Our committee met with the Lewis family who very generously allowed us to copy their records and provided information about burials and cemetery procedures over the years, plot sizes, regulations, monument arrangements, forms and other issues. We also met with Carmen Barrett in March regarding the consequences of the sale of the Lewis Funeral Home. In the coming year, the Commission plans to undertake a Cemetery Improvement Plan which will assess the condition and needs of each of the Town’s eight cemeteries. We use our existing CPA grant to restore grave monuments in need of repair. At the end of FY 2013, two commissioners, Ted Anderson and Georgen Charnes retired from the Commission and were replaced with Barbara White and Lee Saperstein. The Commission is grateful for the important and dedicated service Ted and Georgen gave over their years of service. Respectfully submitted, Allen B. Reinhard Chairman
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 2013:
• 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.
Page 92
• 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 2014. The Commission will continue to further the community’s awareness of accessibility issues, and strive to improve day-to-day living for the disabled 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. Respectively submitted, 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 2013, the CPC reviewed, assessed and ranked 14 applications for CPA funding for fiscal year 2014. Funding for 11 projects, totaling $2,300,000 was approved by the citizens of Nantucket at the 2013 Annual Town meeting as follows:

FINANCE COMMITTEE
The primary responsibility of the Finance Committee, pursuant to the Town Charter, is to provide recommendations to the Annual Town Meeting on the current and next fiscal year budgets and all warrant articles. The budget is a culmination of a year round process developed and administered by Town Administration and presented to the Board of Selectmen and Finance Committee for review and recommendations. The Committee consists of nine members from various walks of life appointed by the Board of Selectmen to three-year terms. Though the committee functions in synergy with Town Administration, Town departments, local boards and commissions and the Board of Selectmen, ultimately the goal of the committee is to make recommendations that are in the best interest of the community at large, with an emphasis on equity and responsibility to the tax payers and residents. The committee meets in open session throughout the year and encourages public participation throughout the process. Municipal services are partially funded from local revenue collected - primarily property taxes. This revenue provides Nantucket's citizens with education, protection, safety, health, and infrastructure to enrich our lives and maintain high standards as a community, in addition to providing for the needs of a premium resort destination. In addition, our local government provides year-round services normally found in cities or regions impacted by seasonal peak populations, including trash processing, sewer services, water distribution, public safety, visitor services, and airport services. Being that Nantucket is 26 miles out at sea, it has to be self sufficient in providing these services. This provides a unique challenge that sets Nantucket aside from most other municipalities in the Commonwealth. The committee reviews all aspects of personnel compensation. This year the issues of longevity pay and retirement benefits have been discussed in response to citizen sponsored warrant articles. Specifically, the committee encourages the continued examination of longevity pay by the Board of Selectmen and Town Administration as a way of controlling costs in the future. Also, the committee recommends that the overall compensation strategy be developed for retirement benefits to compare with other public entities and the private sector. This year, for the first time, the committee recommended an appropriation of $250,000 from Free Cash to be deposited into a trust fund to begin the process of setting aside funding for Other Post-Employment Benefits for future financial planning purposes. The committee advocates long term financial planning in this area and this deposit is a first step towards meeting the Town's obligations for the future. Nantucket has been fortunate to maintain current levels of service in recent tight economic times and has made prudent adjustments to control costs. However, Town government does not operate in a vacuum. Each year the cost of these services has experienced pressure to increase while local growth and other revenues remained stagnant or has decreased. The challenge going forward is to establish equilibrium to provide a level of service and maintain costs without increasing taxes over the allowable 2.5% increase allowed every year. The Finance Committee works diligently to evaluate these financial stresses and make its recommendations, while maintaining this delicate balance. The Committee would like to express its gratitude to Town Administration, led by Town Manager Libby Gibson, and the Finance Department for their valuable contributions throughout the budget development and Town Meeting preparation processes.
Page 96
The goal for presenting the Fiscal Year 2014 budget, as directed by the Board of Selectmen, is to “live within projected revenue”. Overall expenditures in the general fund are projected to increase by 1.9%, driven mostly by insurance cost and wage increases and additional subsidies to enterprise operations. Personnel costs including salaries, medical insurance, workers compensation, unemployment, laborers union pension, and retirement comprise 70.6% of the General Fund operating budget. In FY 2014, salary expenses for the Town, School, and Community School are projected to increase by 3.89%. The Solid Waste Enterprise, Our Island Home Enterprise, and Airport Enterprise Funds are projected to continue to require general fund subsidies in FY 2014. The Solid Waste Enterprise Fund subsidy has been voted twice via overrides in 1999 and 2006 and remains supplemented by the General Fund in FY 2014 with projected increases of 1.49%. The Our Island Home Enterprise Fund subsidy from the General Fund is projected to decrease by -28.6%, while the subsidy to the Airport Enterprise Funds is forecasted to decrease by 71.28% over FY 2013. Municipal Operating Budget The proposed Town of Nantucket municipal operating budget for FY 2014, including Enterprise Funds, is $100,019,296. The FY 2014 municipal operating budget has increased $5,085,535 or 5.36% over FY 2013, primarily due to increases in insurance and debt service costs. A notable increase is the $1,397,902 increase in the insurance category in the General Fund, predominately due to rising health insurance costs. Debt service has also increased in the Airport Enterprise and Water Enterprise Funds by $1,105,010 and $462,130 respectively. The General Fund School FY 2014 budget is $23,396,275, a $955,006 or a 4.26% increase over FY 2013. This year’s municipal budget includes the following projections:
• 2.5% Increase in real estate and personal property tax revenue
• 6.5% Increase in allowance for abatements due to revaluation year
• 2.5% Reduction in state revenue
• 7.6 % Increase in personnel costs (salaries, health insurance, retirement)
• 15.5% General (non-health) insurance increase Municipal Operating Budget Categories FY2013 Budget FY2014 Recommended Budget

The recommended budget represents a $5,085,535 increase (5.4%) over the FY 2013 operating budget ($94,933,761). FY 2014 RECOMMENDED BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS General Fund Revenues in FY 2014 are expected to increase from $73,121,276 to $74,499,924, a 1.9% increase over FY 2013. Currently, 86.7% of total projected General Fund revenues in FY 2014 are derived from property and personal taxes. Our local property tax revenues increase annually by 2.5%, in accordance with the legal limitations of Proposition 2 1/2. This amount is based on a FY 2014 assessed property valuation of $17,199,700,000. Nantucket’s assessed property valuation is a good indicator of the way our community has weathered the recession and still continues to improve its valuation, while other communities in the Commonwealth are still experiencing the impacts of depressed property values. State revenues are projected to continue to experience a minimal decline of 3% in FY 2014 to $1,633,513. Due to FY 2013 being a real estate and personal property revaluation year, we anticipate we will continue to see requests for abatements resulting in a projected increase of 6% in FY 2014 over FY 2013. Local revenues, which include excise taxes, license and permit revenues, as well as fees and rentals for different services, are currently projected to increase negligibly by less than a percentage point. Payroll expenses which include salaries, health insurance, and retirement, continue to represent the largest part of our expense projections in accordance with being a service driven organization. For FY 2014, personnel related expenses represent 70.6% of the total general fund projected budget. There has
Page 98
been a town-wide consolidation effort, most recently at Planning and Land Use Services (PLUS) that has proven very successful in eliminating redundancies, while also meant to improve service quality by clustering related services in single locations. These consolidations have required increased flexibility and cooperation between employees of previously separate departments, but it is our belief that in the long run we are better served as a community and tax payers by a more consolidated and focused government, the trend is expected to continue in the near future. Operating expenses are projected to increase by 1.27% in FY 2014 over FY 2013, a direct result of the aforementioned consolidations, where currently departments share costs of utilities and office supplies that previously burdened separate budgets. On the other hand, this modest increase emphasizes what has been a long-standing concern of the Finance Committee that several Town-owned buildings and equipment are in need of repair and in some cases, renovations or replacement. As a result, there has been an increased focus to better fund and manage repair and maintenance to avoid such issues in the future, where major capital outlays may be needed. Debt service expense as a whole is projected to decrease by 0.1%. The policy goal for the Town of Nantucket is for debt service to be at or below 12% of the total municipal operating budget and as it currently stands, the General Fund debt service is at 11.8% of the total general fund operating budget. Capital Expense: The Town of Nantucket’s infrastructure requires significant financing to keep it from deteriorating, as already mentioned in this report. To keep up with the growing needs of our expanding community, we, as a Finance Committee, face the delicate task of balancing different needs and prioritizing capital projects. For FY 2014, we are recommending $3,937,480 of spending, a 137.8% increase, compared to $1,655,920 in FY 2013. Of the $3,937,480 capital appropriation, $2,599,083.96 is projected to come from Free Cash, $903,048.04 is projected to come from re-appropriation of prior years completed capital articles, and $435,348 from the FY 2014 tax levy and other general revenues of the Town.
Enterprise Funds Revenue forecasts for enterprise funds, across the Commonwealth, have been closely scrutinized by the Department of Revenue (DOR). Guidelines that have been issued by the DOR have indicated “the bureau will not allow estimated revenue (increases) for user charges based upon the government’s intent alone to raise the charges in the future. These charges must be raised before the tax rate recap is submitted for tax rate certification to the Bureau (in the fall). When revenues are estimated based upon consumption alone, the Bureau will continue to require reasonable supporting documentation for this claim.” (Source: DOR Bulletin 2012-02B). For Fiscal Year 2014, the only enterprise fund projecting an increase is Nantucket Memorial Airport due to fuel sales. In FY 2013, Town Meeting established the Airport Fuel Sales Revolving Fund under MGL Chapter 44, Section 53E1/2 which has a spending limit cap. The forecast for fuel sales in FY 2014 exceeds the cap for the revolving funds, therefore the revenues and expenses are shown proportionally in the Airport’s operating projections. A home rule petition has been put forward to eliminate the revolving fund spending limit cap specifically for Airport fuel sales. Operating expenses as a whole, including payroll and debt service are expected to increase by $2,260,322 or 6.7% over FY 2013. A majority of the increase is attributed to debt service increases in the Airport Enterprise and Water Enterprise Funds by $1,105,010 and $462,130 respectively. Debt Service Expense: The policy goal for the Town of Nantucket is for debt service to be at or below 12% of the total municipal operating budget and as it currently stands, the enterprise funds are at 20.1% of
Page 99
the total enterprise fund operating budget. Debt service in the enterprise funds is projected to be 12% for the Airport, 77% for Siasconset Water, 53% for Sewer, and 51% for Wannacomet Water. It is important to note, Our Island Home currently does not have expenses related to debt service and the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund debt service is less than 1% of its operating budget. Capital Expense: For FY 2014, we are recommending $4,798,327.85 of spending, a 48.19% decrease, compared to $9,262,731 in FY 2013. Of the $4,798,327.85 capital appropriation, $2,045,393 is projected to come from new borrowing, $500,000 is projected to come from transferring prior authorizations to borrow funds, $1,062,897.85 is projected to come from re-appropriation of prior years completed capital articles, $503,000 is projected to come from retained earnings and Free Cash in the Treasury of the Town, and $687,037 from the FY 2014 tax levy and other general revenues of the Town for the landfill mining item. LOOKING FORWARD While we continue to be cautiously optimistic, as Nantucket shakes off the residual effects of the prolonged recession, we approached our FY 2014 budget’s process by exercising fiscal restraint in a conscious attempt to balance our Town’s needs in a responsible and sustainable way. We will continue to work together with various boards and committees, as well as Town departments and Administration alike, to ensure taxpayers’ interests remain at the forefront and the quality of services provided remains at a high level. We are committed to working collaboratively with the Board of Selectmen, Airport Commission, and Water Commissions to identify potential solutions to address the Towns unfunded future liabilities such as health insurance and pension plans. We, as a committee, feel confident that the FY 2014 budget we are recommending will allow Nantucket to continue to provide services that are both beneficial to island residents, but also maintain and improve the island’s image as a top destination for summer recreation. Note: Fiscal Year 2014 figures contained within the report are subject to change based upon technical amendments presented at the 2013 Annual Town Meeting. Respectfully submitted, Matthew Mulcahy Chairman
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.” On the prompting of Nantucket Police Chief Bill Pittman, SHAB created a Shellfish Bylaw Review Work Group to review, and revise where needed, Nantucket’s shellfish regulations. The SHAB appointed members Bill Blount, Doug Smith and Peter Brace to this work group in addition to Ron Shepard, Carl Sjolund, Jo Perkins, Matt Herr, Steve Estabrooks and Ted Lambrecht. The work of this committee will continue into FY 2014.
Page 100
SHAB also appointed a subcommittee of Dr. Peter Boyce, Peter Brace and Michael Glowacki to generate recommendations for SHAB on how to proceed in getting the Town to fill the vacant position of Town Biologist primarily for the purpose of water quality sampling and analysis as outlined in the Natural Resources Department’s strategic plan approved by the Board of Selectmen in April 2013. On this front, SHAB is motivated by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection’s mandate of meeting the total maximum daily load numbers for Nantucket’s harbors and ponds as determined by the Massachusetts Estuaries Project in conjunction with MassDEP; the potential for the annual August blooming of the algae, Cochlodium polykrikoides, which clogs the feeding/breathing gills of shellfish; and the steady deterioration of shellfish habitat in the harbors by the smothering of eelgrass by the Lyngbya sp. algae. Several times throughout the year, members of SHAB pushed this agenda during the public comment section of various Selectmen’s meetings. SHAB also appointed Michael Glowacki to the Sewer Planning Work Group and re-appointed Doug Smith, Dr. Peter Boyce and Bam LaFarge to the Harbor Plan Implementation Committee. SHAB heard a request from commercial fisherman Dan Pronk who, seeking a recommendation from the board, wanted to go commercial quahogging in Nantucket Sound. SHAB recommended to the Selectmen that Mr. Pronk be permitted to harvest 20 bushels of quahogs per day and submit weekly catch reports to Town Shellfish Biologist Tara Riley but be prohibited from landing any conch (smooth and knobbed whelk snails) as bycatch. On the aquaculture front, SHAB recommended that the Selectmen grant Gordon Frasier a permit to raise oysters in Nantucket Harbor and that they renew Simon Edwards’ existing aquaculture permit. Our board also recommended that the Board of Selectmen revoke Bruce Murray’s aquaculture permit. And, the board supported Shellfish Biologist Tara Riley’s efforts with the Massachusetts Department of Marine Fisheries to carve out more space in Nantucket Harbor for aquaculture leases and space for Nantucket oyster farmers to overwinter their shellfish. Getting clerical, the SHAB stressed the need for bilingual signage informing English- and Latino-speaking islanders alike of current shellfishing and fishing regulations pertaining to daily limits and shellfish bed closures. SHAB set a policy requiring all materials being discussed at its meetings be distributed to its members prior to meetings with these materials being sent to the chairman no later than by the end of the day on the Thursday before the upcoming meeting. It also adopted a policy pertaining to public comment during SHAB meetings based on Robert’s Rules of Order and those procedures followed by Nantucket’s Board of Selectmen. SHAB supported Ms. Riley and Leah Cabral’s trip to Zanzibar, Tanzania to continue to Riley’s work helping village women grow and market blood ark clams. It recommended that the Selectmen grant a late-start commercial shellfish license to Michael Lindley, and in response to the November 15 and 16 seed stranding event due to a nor’easter that week, SHAB supported and advised shellfisherman Matt Herr in his efforts to create a more organized scallop seed stranding team and protocol. The board also recommended to the Selectmen that it grant the Great Harbor Yacht Club permission to mark its southern-most float mooring with winter sticks.
Page 101
When the Selectmen began discussing the possible rearranging of the Town parking lot such that Town Pier slip permit holders’ permitted parking spots would be relocated and possibly reduced in number, SHAB unanimously opposed the proposed redesign of this parking lot. In April 2013, incumbents Michael Glowacki and Wendy McCrae were re-elected to the board for another three years, and SHAB elected Peter B. Brace as its chairman, Doug Smith as vice chairman and Chuck Connors as secretary. Respectfully submitted, Peter B. Brace Chairman
NANTUCKET HISTORICAL COMMISSION
In 2013 we received permission from the Board of Selectmen to add two additional members to our commission. The move not only brings us in line with Massachusetts law, which allows for seven members, but has improved the operations of the Nantucket Historical Commission. With two additional members, our group will be able to get more work done and serve our community on a more professional way. Our current members are Diane Coombs, Caroline Ellis, Jason Finger, Phil Gallagher, Susan Handy, who holds a degree in archeology, Kevin Kuester, and Deborah Timmermann.
Page 102
MGL Chapter 40, Section 8(d) states our governed scope: For the preservation, protection and development of the historical or archeological assets of Nantucket. Such commission shall conduct researches for places of historic or archeological value, shall cooperate with the state archeologist in conducting such researches or other surveys, and shall seek to coordinate the activities of unofficial bodies organized for similar purposes. For the purpose of protecting and preserving such places, it may make recommendations as it deems necessary to the Board of Selectmen, and, subject to the approval of the BOS, to the Massachusetts Historical Commission, that any such place be certified as an historical or archeological landmark. It shall report to the state archeologist the existence of any archeological, paleontological or historical site or object discovered in accordance with Section 27(C) of Chapter 9, and shall apply for permits necessary pursuant to said Section 27(C). The commission may hold hearings, may enter into contracts with individuals, organizations and institutions for services furthering the objectives of the commission’s program; may enter into contracts with local or regional associations for cooperative endeavors furthering the commissions program, may accept gifts, contributions and bequests of funds from individuals, foundations and from federal, state or other governmental bodies for the purpose of furthering the commission’s program; may make and sign any agreements and may do and perform any and all which may be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this section. Said commission may acquire in the name of the town, by gift, purchase, grant, bequest, devise, lease or otherwise the fee or lesser interest in real or personal property of significant historical value and may manage the same. This historical commission is the official agent of municipal government responsible for community-wide historic preservation planning. In the future, the NHC will continue to work with other municipal agencies, including the BOS, Building Inspector, Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals and Conservation Commission, to ensure the goals of historic preservation are considered in the planning and future development of the community of Nantucket. Respectively submitted, Deborah Timmermann Chairman
ROADS AND RIGHT OF WAY COMMITTEE
The purpose of the Roads and Right of Way Committee 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. Our vision 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. Fiscal Year 2013 was another busy year for our committee. Members assisted the reactivated Streets and Sidewalks Committee in examining the condition and potential improvements to sidewalks resulting from the replacement of sewer and water lines in the core area of town. Work on this project led to discussion and consideration of a Sidewalk Survey Project that would compile a list of sidewalks and their condition with recommendations for improvement of pedestrian access throughout Nantucket town. We also
Page 103
recommended the Town take action to install the sidewalk planned from the end of the multi-use path on Prospect Street to Upper Vestal Street creating a pedestrian route connecting via Winn Street to the Madaket Bike Path. This would address the safety problem that exists as pedestrians must walk in the roadway along Quaker Road past the Quaker Cemetery. Our committee has also worked with Transportation Planner Mike Burns to develop a bike route connecting the Madaket, Surfside and Hummock Pond Road bike paths. Joe Marcklinger from our committee worked with Selectman Bruce Miller to identify additional parking spaces on public streets in the downtown area. Joe Marcklinger and Lee Saperstein have been working on a project to identify the route of the Nantucket Railroad beginning in the 1880’s to 1918 with the goal of creating a walking trail along sections of the way on property open to the public. Much of the elevated berm still exists and provides an interesting glimpse into the island’s transportation history. Neil Paterson generously donated six new granite Public Way monuments to the Town to mark newly created public access to the Sconset Foot Path and the new cross island trail on Town property at Dionis. This trail from the beach at Dionis to the south shore is one of three north/south trails crossing conservation and Town-owned land, part of our committee’s Greenway Project. Our committee also worked with the DPW to draft a new Town policy to deal with encroachments on public ways including streets, sidewalks and other public property. The draft policy classifies encroachments in three categories of urgency and incorporates specific enforcement penalties. Public safety is the most significant violation and deals with sight lines at intersections, sidewalk and other encroachment issues. We continued our work with implementation the management plan for the Sconset Foot Path to address issues of signage and commercial use. The update of the Town’s Open Space Plan financed by part of our committee’s CPC grant has been developed over the past year with the final draft of the update and trail systems due in the fall of 2013. This project includes 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. Through the generosity of Harbor Fuel Oil Corporation, Ways Off Shore, A History of Roads and Ways in Nantucket County, by Dr. Frances Karttunen was updated through 2013 and published. The book is available in local bookstores and tells the history of the development of Nantucket’s ways from Indian trails between settlements through the 1799 roads, Proprietors and later subdivision roads of the island. 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 ROW 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. Respectfully submitted, Allen B. Reinhard Chairman

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 $6,000, 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. For the second year in a row, we have the good fortune to receive very generous donations 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.
