GENERAL GOVERNMENT REPORTS
BOARD OF SELECTMEN
Fiscal year 2015 was another busy year for the Town of Nantucket with many projects and activities.
Maintaining the fiscal stability of the Town continues to be a major goal of the Board of Selectmen.
Although revenues have increased and expenses have decreased, thanks to the diligence of the Town
Manager and her staff, we continue to be conservative in our projections and will continue to keep
expenses to a minimum. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Town Manager and the
Finance Department on another unqualified audit opinion for FY 2015.
One project the Town has been most involved in this past year concerns Baxter Road and erosion. The
Board, Town Manager and key staff have worked on alternative access plans for Baxter Road in the event
that the north end of Baxter Road is lost due to erosion. The Town, through the Conservation Commission
and Board of Selectmen, has also been immersed in the Siasconset Beach Preservation Fund’s geotube
project.
Health insurance increases plague the Town as it continues to struggle with how to address the increases.
Most changes to insurance require collective bargaining with the numerous Town unions.
Parking was a hot topic this past year. The Board instituted a new Parking Enforcement Policy and created
a Commercial Vehicle District which prohibits overnight parking in the downtown area without a commercial
parking permit. Discussions also involved the Silver Street and Washington Street Municipal Parking Lots
and the new policy covers new rules for parking in those lots.
The Town has been addressing sewer and water quality issues. This included a review and update on the
Miacomet Watershed, monthly updates from the Town Manager on water quality initiatives, and plans for
sewer expansion pursuant to the updated Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan. The Board is
proposing sewer expansions to address water quality issues in Nantucket and Madaket Harbors and the
Miacomet and Hummock Pond Watersheds.
With the Town’s new Business License Inspector in place, the Board has encouraged stronger enforcement
of entertainment, liquor and other license violations and sanctions.
January 26-27, 2015 brought Winter Storm Juno and the island was hit hard. A significant portion of the
island lost power, some for up to 24 hours. There was major erosion and damage throughout the island and
the Town Pier sustained extensive damage totaling approximately $1 million. Although the Town was
unsure if the Town Pier would be open for the summer season, thanks to the hard work of the
Harbormaster, DPW, and Procurement Officer who seemingly pulled off the impossible, the Town Pier was
open for business before July 1, 2015.
Affordable housing continues to be a major issue on Nantucket. The Board is exploring the idea of
affordable workforce housing at its 2-4 Fairgrounds Road property with the focus being on full-time and
seasonal Town employees. Following Richmond Great Point Development’s proposed 40B development
and subsequent zoning changes approved at the 2015 Annual Town Meeting, the Board entered into a
Page 18
Memorandum of Understanding with Richmond to build affordable housing units as part of its development
of the former Glowacki property off Old South Road.
The 2015 Annual Town Meeting also approved funding to build a new fire station at 4 Fairgrounds Road
and a new intermediate school at the Elementary School and an expansion for the Cyrus Pierce Middle
School.
At the April 2015 Annual Town Election, Dawn E. Hill Holdgate was elected to fill the seat left by Bruce D.
Miller. I’d like to thank Bruce for his hard work and dedication to the Town and to welcome Dawn as our
new member. On April 28, 2015, I was elected chairman and Matt Fee as vice chairman.
The Board placed a moratorium on Mobile Food Unit licenses as well as the use of Town-owned beaches
for commercial use until new policies are created. The Board has seen a recent increase of HDC appeals.
The Board has also had extensive discussions regarding bike paths and bike lanes. The in-town bike path
is still in its planning stages. Selectmen Glidden has proposed an historic bike route which is currently
under consideration.
I would like to thank Town Manager Libby Gibson, Assistant Town Manager Gregg Tivnan and Town
departments and staff for working diligently to serve the citizens of our community.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert DeCosta
Chairman
HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
This past year the Human Resources Department focused on preparation for impending changes with
regard to reform in U.S. healthcare, The Affordable Care Act, ratifying the negotiated collective bargaining
agreements and reviewing contracted services with various Human Resource vendors. In addition, the
Town secured a consulting agency to conduct a comprehensive review of the Human Resources
Department with a goal to provide strategic short term and long term direction for the department under
Town Administration. The review comprised of interviews with all Town department heads and numerous
employees, collection of benchmark data with comparable Human Resources Departments in the
Commonwealth, and a final written recommendation.
Several training and development workshops were provided for Town employees such as sexual
harassment awareness and communication and supervisory skills, in addition to a few more department
focused initiatives. The continued growth in the local and regional economies has placed an emphasis on
adequate staffing of seasonal employees. As a result, there is a significantly greater focus on recruitment
and training of qualified staff. The lack of affordable housing on Nantucket continues to pose increased and
more complex recruitment and retention challenges.
The previous Human Resources Director, Patricia Perris, retired effective May 30, 2015 after nearly 10
years of service. Amanda Perry, comprising the balance of the Human Resources team, was promoted to
Assistant Director, effective July 1, 2015. The employee population, inclusive of seasonal employees,
Page 19
reached a high of 1,135 and we’re forecasting another year of modest growth in the employee base that is
necessary to provide exceptional service to our residents and guests.
We successfully participated in and supported a health insurance eligibility audit conducted by Cook and
Company, our worker’s compensation vendor and partner. The Human Resources Department selected a
new insurance broker, NFP, to aid in supporting the Town’s needs with regard to oversight of our health
insurance programs as well as navigating the increasingly complex and laborious federally mandated
reporting requirements. In addition, we selected a new Employee Assistance Program partner, Quantum
Health, to provide improved support services to employees and their families as well as the implementation
of other related services.
The Nantucket Employee Empowerment Team (NEET) sponsored several events including gathering
clothes and other needed items for Our Island Home and the Salt Marsh Senior Center. Various other
initiatives were supported throughout the year which both benefited the community and recognized the
dedicated service of employees. This team is established through the goal of the Board of Selectmen to
improve customer service to our community.
The focus for the upcoming fiscal year will be to continue to provide exceptional levels of administration and
support for all aspects of Human Resources function such as employee relations, training, compensation,
performance management, recruiting, employee benefits, retiree benefits, occupational injuries/workers
compensation, personnel records, family medical leave, benefit coordination, medical cost analysis and
related core activities.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen R. Tuzik
Human Resources Director

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The Information Technology Department is responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the
technological environment for the Town of Nantucket. This consists of three main areas: communications
infrastructure; hardware; and software applications.
The synchronization of all of these areas provide the basis for the technology services used by the Town of
Nantucket and support our goal 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. Our infrastructure is built around a fiber backbone and internet service providers with a
redundant wireless wide-area network. Our hardware primarily consists of servers, computers and printers
which provide core services such as email, file sharing, printing and desktop computing. We support a
variety of software platforms, including desktop software and operating systems and larger core
applications such as the Town's email system, the municipal financial system (MUNIS) and the Geographic
Information System (GIS).
The following is a summary of the initiatives that were achieved during the 2015 fiscal year:
After many months of redesign efforts working with the Cape Cod Regional E-Permitting vendor to
move Nantucket's Historic District permit applications to a production live environment, a decision was
made to cancel this initiative and to pursue alternative solutions.
In the winter of 2013, the Town began a two-phase project to update the GIS data layers of the island.
Phase 1, three inch resolution, aerial photography of the physical features of the island was completed
in the fall of 2013. Phase 2 of this project was completed in the fall of 2014 when 30 of the Town’s GIS
data layers were updated based on this set of aerial images. Both the imagery and the updated data
layers are available on the Town’s GIS website.
Network infrastructure upgrades continued throughout the year with the implementation of an upgraded
wide-area wireless backup network and the expansion of Wi-Fi services to Our Island Home and Public
Works.
Voice over IP (VOIP) was deployed to Our Island Home and Public Works, requiring network
infrastructure upgrades at these sites. VOIP for Natural Resources, Human Services and Wannacomet
Water is scheduled for FY 2016.
The Town’s web filtering and monitoring software was migrated to a cloud based version enabling us to
implement web filtering policies at remote sites and on mobile devices.
We procured and began implementing a cloud-connected email archiving solution for optimizing email
storage and providing anytime/anywhere access to old email. When completed, this system will provide
powerful search and retrieval capabilities for our email users.
Five new servers were deployed during the year per the documented IT strategic capital replacement
plan and four servers are in the planning, specification stage. Additionally, two new mail servers were
installed and integrated with the Public Safety mail server and a new records management server was
installed for use initially by Town Administration, Human Resources and Natural Resources.
Many of our base software applications were upgraded in 2015. Adobe, Internet Explorer, Symantec
Antivirus and Malware Protection and Symantec Anti-spam software systems top this list.
The Assessor's Vision Appraisal system and our GIS software were both upgraded to newer versions,
compatible with 64 bit desktop platforms. In conjunction with this and the e-permitting project, the Town
Page 21
converted to the Massachusetts standard unique parcel identifier, "LOC_ID" for short, allowing for
tighter and easier integration between assessment systems and GIS parcel mapping.
A comprehensive Information Technology Assessment has been initiated to help define a technology
road map for future initiatives that meet the evolving technology demands of the Town. Requirements
were compiled and a Request for Bid was publicized in June, 2015 with an anticipated start date in the
fall.
We continue efforts to automate management of computers and software systems, enhancing security,
standardizing the desktop environment and improving staff efficiency. Areas of effort include automated
software installations, upgrades and patches, printer deployments, centralized management of
hardware configurations and energy conservation policies.
A total of 1,040 Helpdesk requests were handled in 2015. It is our plan to streamline the Helpdesk
process to improve prioritization, assignment and notifications relating to IT Helpdesk Requests.
Town GIS Services logged 121,466 visitors to the on-line GIS website and prepared 57 maps for
Annual Town Meeting and fulfilled 169 map requests for other Town departments and the public.
I would like to extend my thanks to my staff for all of their hard work this past year. Juggling multiple high
priority projects in addition to handling daily support and maintenance tasks is definitely a challenge and
their commitment and dedication is most appreciated.

Linda Rhodes
Information Technology 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 use and enjoyment by
the general public. Funding for the program is derived primarily from a 2% transfer fee levied against most
real property transfers within Nantucket County. Fiscal year 2015 yielded $19,256,966 in transfer fee
revenue compared to last year’s $17,731,179. The Land Bank acquired 33.24 acres of land at a cost of
$16,044,287. The Land Bank now owns 2,976 acres with an additional 503.4 acres permanently protected
by conservation restrictions held either alone or in conjunction with the Nantucket Land Council. Since its
inception, the Land Bank has spent $262,981,201 on land purchases on the Island.
Five elected Land Bank Commissioners serve without compensation administering the Nantucket Islands
Land Bank Act (Chapter 669 of the Acts of 1983, as amended).

LAND ACQUISITIONS
The Land Bank acquired several new properties adding a total of 33.24 acres to its holdings during fiscal
year 2015. A brief description of each new acquisition and its purchase price is listed in chronological order
as follows:
Miacomet Park ($4,152)
Several additional small interests in Miacomet Park were acquired.
50 Union Street ($850,000)
The acquisition of this .08 acre property was the result of a collaboration between the Town and Land Bank
to create a small park and make sidewalk and road improvements. This small park in a busy area will
provide a safe place for pedestrians and bicyclists to stop, check a map or take a water break. The dwelling
on the property was donated to Housing Nantucket for reuse as affordable housing. The purchase was
funded by a $200,000 grant from the Community Preservation Committee, $100,000 from the Town and
$550,000 from the Land Bank. As part of this transaction the Land Bank also acquired 7, 11, 13, and 15
Miacomet Road from the Town.
7, 11, 13 & 15 Miacomet Road (Town exchange)
A total of 7.29 acres were received in exchange for the Land Bank funding a portion of the Town's
acquisition expenses for 50 Union Street as described above. The properties at 7, 11 and 13 Miacomet
Road lie northerly of Miacomet Pond, while 15 Miacomet Road directly abuts the east side of the pond and
Page 24
provides a valuable connection to other Land Bank holdings in the area.
72 Washington Street ($2,700,000)
The Land Bank acquired this 0.14 acre waterfront property and removed the existing house in its ongoing
efforts to open up scenic views of the harbor along Washington Street. The parcel directly abuts another
Land Bank property it purchased from the same owner years ago. These properties are immediately
adjacent to the Town's Francis Street Beach.
141 Eel Point Road ($2,500,000)
This 13.46 acre property abuts extensive open space holdings owned by the Linda Loring Nature
Foundation, Fisher's Landing cluster subdivision and the Land Bank. The owner sold the property far below
fair market value to ensure its protection.
15-19 Mill Hill Lane ($2,100,000)
The Land Bank received a $1.2 million contribution from an anonymous donor and therefore paid $900,000
in order to acquire this 0.51 acre property. It abuts the Town's Mill Hill Park and could potentially help to
connect a pedestrian/bike path from Prospect Street to Hummock Pond Road.
44 Washington Street ($4,700,000)
This 0.25 acre property directly abuts the Town Pier and was purchased to enhance views and public
access to the harbor. The property was acquired subject to an existing 10-year lease held by the prior
owner which has a maximum of eight years remaining, and the house will be removed by the seller at the
end of the lease term. In addition, as part of this transaction, 39 Washington Street was acquired by the
Land Bank for $975,000 and is being held in trust for conveyance to the Town in exchange for other
significant Town-owned open space parcels on or before January 31, 2017.
45 Polpis Road - Girl Scouts Camp ($1,750,000)
This 5.2 acre property abuts existing Land Bank property to the southwest. It was purchased to
permanently preserve the existing Girl Scout camp and give the local troops control over use of the facility.
A new walking trail is planned from the Polpis Road bike path to connect with existing Land Bank trails at
Pout Pond Road, ultimately leading out into the Middle Moors.
22 Massasoit Bridge Road ($469,287)
Adding to a vast tract of protected open space known as the Head of Plains, the property is subject to a
lease retained by the seller for their lifetime.
5 & 9 Miacomet Road (Town exchange)
The Town conveyed these properties to the Land Bank in exchange for bike path and dock easement rights
to be granted on 44 Washington Street.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Property management activities this year included annual projects such as maintenance of walking trails,
grassland restoration mowing and burning, brush cutting 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:
Page 25
72 Washington Street -- house removal; beach restoration

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
I am once again incredibly honored to be serving the Island of Nantucket in the Massachusetts House of
Representatives. I would also like to thank Senator Wolf’s office for their assistance in advocating for
Nantucket’s local legislative agenda.
Last year, six home rule petitions were signed by the Governor. These were bills related to the Nantucket
Mosquito Control Project, land conveyances, the composition of the Historic District Commission, and
exemptions from MA General Law regarding funeral homes.
At the end of June 2015, two amendments affecting Nantucket were included in the FY 2016 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 the Office shall take into consideration the
increased travel costs associated with arranging access to health and human services for Island residents.
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.
Respectfully submitted,
Tim Madden
State Representative

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 18,223 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. Fiscal Year 2015 assessed values for all property were as follows:
Residential properties $16,946,921,756
Commercial and industrial 944,004,094
Industrial 49,617,300
Open Space 11,664,300
Personal property 229,217,719
Total taxable property $18,181,425,169
Exempt property 3,254,053,700
Total property assessed value $21,435,478,869
Total taxable property increased by $1,241,697,714 or 7% 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 2015 was $63,083,855, an increase of $2,551,069 or 4.21%. The increase came
from the allowable Proposition 2½ % increase, which yielded revenue of $1,513,320 and certified new
growth which yielded revenue of $1,037,749.
Levy Base (previous fiscal year’s Levy Limit) $60,532,786
Proposition 2½ $1,513,320
Revenue from Certified New Growth $1,037,749
Fiscal Year 2015 Levy Limit (next fiscal year’s Levy Base) $63,083,855
Debt Exclusion $6,708,448
Fiscal Year 2015 Maximum Levy $69,792,303
Page 27
The actual tax levy for FY 2015 was $66,329,953, an increase of $1,682,914 or 2.60% over the previous
year. Property tax abatements granted on the 2015 tax levy during the abatement period totaled
$426,248.72, or 0.64% of the levy.
Tax rates for fiscal year 2015 were:
Residential $3.61
Open Space $3.45
Commercial $6.38
Industrial $6.38
Personal Property $6.38
For comparison, the average residential tax rate in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2015 was
$14.98. Nantucket’s composite tax rate was $3.65. This is the rate that would be charged if the community
used a single rate structure. One penny on the composite tax rate yielded $181,814, compared to $169,397
in fiscal year 2015.
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 2015 the exemption voted was 20% of the average residential value or
$336,917. There were 2,212 properties that qualified and received this assessment credit on their tax bills
for fiscal year 2015. Average values and taxes on residential properties are listed in the next chart.

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
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/224/Tax-Collector.
Page 28
In 2015, tax collections using the online bill pay and in office services were $65,386,914 or 97% of the levy.
This amount includes collections of delinquent taxes and tax liens. Property tax revenue represented 78%
of revenue for the general operating fund.
Other revenue for the general operating fund of the Town for fiscal year 2015 is as follows, shown with
fiscal year 2014 for comparison:

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 2014 EQV is
$17,816,255,100, the fourth highest in the Commonwealth, and the debt limit is $890,912,755.
The Town’s long-term debt outstanding on June 30, 2015 consists of Governmental Funds debt of
$32,177,800 and Enterprise Fund debt of $98,156,220. 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.

Annual Town Meeting.
Accounting
The Accounting office personnel consist 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 $245.7 million at the beginning of fiscal year 2015. Major funds include the
General Fund ($27.5 million); Town capital projects funds ($.3 million); Long-Term Debt (54.3 million); and
non-major funds (state and federal grants, gift funds, revolving funds, six enterprise funds, and trust and
agency funds ($163.3 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
both the Town and County. In FY 2015, the FY 2015 audit was completed on January 15, 2015 with a
fourth 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 with GAAP.
Page 30
During FY 2015, most of the Accounting Division’s focus was on addressing internal controls which needed
to be strengthened as outlined in the FY 2014 and FY 2015 Audit Management Letter and Operational
Review findings, as well as reconciling major fund activity (cash, accounts receivable, special revenue fund,
and trusts) on a monthly basis. The FY 2015 Management Letter identified no material weaknesses and six
other findings.
The findings corrected in FY 2015 consisted of the following: Monthly Reconciliation of Airport Receivables
with the Town, Payroll processing, Posting of Water and Sewer Receipts, Health Insurance Trust Payments
and Capital Assets reconciliations.
Other matters are opportunities to strengthen internal controls or operating efficiencies throughout the
Town. Other matters addressed in FY 2015 include but are not limited the completion and submission of
the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), continued contributions to the Other Postemployment
Benefits (OPEB) trust, and a review of the purchase order policy.
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 2015 Municipal Budget in the amount
of $117,794,988 comprised of $78.2 million from the tax levy and other general revenues, $5.3 million from
free cash, $2.0 million from other special revenue funds, and $32.2 million from Enterprise and Community
Preservation Funds.
The FY 2015 General Fund budget was $71.4 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 2015 for Revolving Funds were $6.4 million. Revolving
Funds budgeted amounts are not included in the total Municipal Budget amount listed above.
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 2015 was
$5,399,707 comprised of $3,150,850 in operating overrides, approved by the voters at Annual and Special
Town Meetings, with additional subsidy from the General Fund in the amount of $1,548,857 for operations
and $700,000 for landfill mining. The Town of Nantucket also provides a General Fund subsidy to Our
Island Home; the FY 2015 total provided from general tax revenue was $2,267,000. In FY 2015 the
Nantucket Memorial Airport did not require a subsidy from the General Fund. It is important to note, the
Nantucket Memorial Airport subsidies from tax revenue were anticipated to be temporary and the Airport
Page 31
Commission has committed to work with the Board of Selectmen on a repayment schedule to the General
Fund over the ensuing fiscal years.
Department Highlights
FY 2015 was a year of growth in the Finance Department. We continued to make progress in the
addressing of the management letter comments. During FY 2015 we completed the Town’s first ever
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for year ended June 30, 2014. The Town also submitted
this report to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), for participation in their Financial
Reporting Excellence Award program. I am pleased to say during FY 2015 we were notified that we had
achieved this award, making us one of only 24 communities in the Commonwealth to prepare, submit and
receive the award. The report is available on the Town of Nantucket website.
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 2015. We look forward to continuing to improve our transparency and
customer service levels in the coming years.

Brian E. Turbitt
Director of Municipal Finance
NANTUCKET ENERGY OFFICE
In FY 2015, the Town’s Energy Office conducted activities to promote and encourage island-wide energy
awareness and reduction measures and to implement and monitor energy efficiency, conservation, and
renewable energy projects at municipal facilities that can deliver significant taxpayer savings through lower
energy bills, while contributing to overall community sustainability and economic development. Among the
achievements of the Energy Office in FY 2015 were the following:
Put in place a system for monitoring energy consumption by Town facilities on an ongoing basis. In
FY 2015, Town facilities consumed 11,772,265 kWh of electricity, 174,655 gallons of heating oil,
and 34,244 gallons of propane at an overall cost of $2,571,377. According to energy management
software, the Town used 8.4% less electricity in FY 2015 than in FY 2012, when the energy
baseline was established. This is despite the effect of colder winter weather on the Town’s many
electrically heated facilities. However, electricity supply prices remained at record high levels,
costing 20% more than in FY 2012.
Competitively procured the Town’s electric supply with Liberty Power, producing approximately
$524,000 in actual electricity savings against National Grid’s standard generation rate.
Coordinated 338 Mass Save home energy assessments for Nantucket residents, resulting in over a
million dollars in annual energy savings.
Coordinated and managed technical assessments and energy audits of the Town’s top energy
consuming facilities, including: Town Hall, the Planning and Land Use Services Office, Nantucket
Public Schools, and the Surfside Wastewater Treatment Plant. A LED lighting upgrade project at
Page 32
the Nantucket High School helped achieve a 21% reduction in electricity when compared to FY
2014. Other recommended lighting and energy efficiency measures are scheduled to be
implemented in FY 2016.
Completed energy assessments at all Town-owned staff houses, resulting in thousands of dollars
of free instant saving measures (LEDs, smart power strips, programmable thermostats), as well as
insulation incentives, free dehumidifiers, and two free “hybrid heat pump water heaters” that have
shown savings of 35% in electricity costs.
Secured 1,032 free LED and high efficiency florescent tube lighting for Town facilities valued at
nearly $11,000 and which are estimated to save the Town approximately 70,500 kWh and $10,500
in energy costs per year.
Worked with National Grid to identify methods for reducing growth in electrical demand during peak
periods in order to defer the need for a third underwater electric cable from the mainland.
Surveyed opportunities for solar PV installations on Town buildings and land. Supported
development of solar PV facilities on land adjacent to the Nantucket Airport and at the Surfside
Wastewater Treatment Facility.
Supported efforts to implement energy efficiency measures at Nantucket Airport through
procurement of an energy service company under a performance contracting arrangement as part
of the MassDOT and USDOT Carbon Neutral Airport Program.
Secured a two-year Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) grant to fund the
Nantucket Energy Office through FY 2016.
Served on the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)’s Massachusetts Intergovernmental
Renewable Energy Task Force to provide input on behalf of the Town of Nantucket regarding a
Federal off-shore wind power development project.
Sold 205 Renewable Energy Certificates from the electric output of the wind turbine at the high
school to realize revenue of $11,712 for the Town.
Organized and hosted various community outreach and education events and projects, including:
o A public electric vehicle test drive and charging demonstration event;
o A 3rd grade Enrichment Cluster to introduce the concepts of energy sources, renewable
sources, and energy conservation to third grade students at Nantucket Elementary School;
o A collaboration with the Nantucket Builders Association which sponsored an “Energy
Code” educational workshop series to help raise local contractor compliance levels with
the new energy building codes;
o A Worcester Polytechnic Institute research project to evaluate the social and economic
feasibility of converting Nantucket’s decorative streetlamps to LED lights.
Goals for FY 2016 include continuation and expansion of all of the programs listed above to further
encourage efficient use of energy on Nantucket through new and innovative means. We are grateful to the
Town officials, staff and volunteer supporters who have supported our efforts in past years and we look
forward to further success in improving the efficiency of our energy use.
Respectfully submitted,
Lauren Sinatra

TOWN MANAGER
The Charter for the Town of Nantucket outlines fifteen specific duties for the Town Manager. These duties
include: oversight of town departments; personnel appointments; collective bargaining negotiations and
other personnel-related matters; preparation of the annual budget and Town Meeting warrants; and,
implementation of policy set forth by the Board of Selectmen. All departments, except for the School,
Airport and Water departments, are contained within the purview of Town Administration.
Personnel/Staffing
Human Resources Office
Human Resources Director Patricia Perris retired in May of 2015. We extend our best wishes to Pat and
were in the process of hiring a new Director by the end of FY 2015. Benefits Administrator Amanda
Johnson (now Perry) was promoted to Assistant Human Resources Director and kept things going for us in
the interim. We appreciate her dedication and commitment. The HR Office was relocated from 3 East
Chestnut Street to the Town Building to have more consistent daily interaction with Town Administration.
Public Health Department
Toward the end of FY 2015, long-time Health Officer (37 years!) Richard Ray retired. Richard leaves
behind a legacy of dedicated service to the Town -- some of the regulations he was instrumental in putting
forward for the benefit of the community’s public health include smoking regulations (prohibition in
restaurants, public property and elsewhere), and various septic system regulations meant to protect
Nantucket’s drinking water and other water resources. Richard’s commitment to his community was a top
priority and his service for so many years is very much appreciated. Richard was acknowledged with a
standing ovation at the 2015 Annual Town Meeting and was presented with a plaque and appreciation from
numerous former Selectmen who came to acknowledge him at a Selectmen’s meeting last spring. Best
wishes, Richard! By the end of FY 2015, we were very close to selecting Richard’s replacement. In the
interim, the Public Health Department was carved out of the Planning and Land Use Department to have
greater visibility and autonomy to address the needs of the Board of Health, the Board of Selectmen and
Town Administration. Their office was relocated to 3 East Chestnut Street from 2 Fairgrounds Road.
Natural Resources
Funding for a Water Quality Biologist was appropriated at the 2014 Annual Town Meeting. During FY 2015,
we hired Kaitlyn Shaw to fill the position. Kaitlyn’s responsibilities include monitoring the results of water
quality testing of ponds, and the harbors as well as initiatives for water quality improvement. During the
summer of 2015, Kaitlyn organized and implemented a campaign to mark stormwater outfall pipes to show
what should not be put into them.
Permitting and Licensing
Upon request by the Board of Selectmen to have more efficient entertainment and alcohol licensing
oversight, the Licensing Office was transferred from Town Administration to Police Administration to
complement the permitting and enforcement functions overseen by the Police Department. Anne
McAndrew, Licensing Agent, was moved from Town Administration to Police Administration. Amy Baxter
was hired as Business License Inspector to provide dedicated management of the Town’s many licenses
and permits as well as oversee event permitting.
Page 34
Human Services
Human Services Director Pamela Meriam retired in the fall of 2014 after ten years of service to the Town.
We thank Pam for her service and wish her the best – she has dropped in periodically to help out with
staffing at Our Island Home when needed. Our Island Home Administrator Rachel Chretien was promoted
to Human Services Director. By the end of FY 2015 we had not been able to fill the position of Our Island
Home Administrator and were examining other options to address this critical position.
Town Administration
In 2014 an Organizational Assessment of Town Administration was conducted by The Executive Suite, Inc.
of Hyannis. One of their findings was the need for greater ability to provide customer service to the public
based on the volume of calls, drop-ins and workload. As a result, in July 2015 Katie Cabral was hired as
Town Administration’s new Customer Service Specialist. Katie works at the front desk of the Town
Administration Office at 16 Broad Street.
Other Personnel Activities
A continuing project into FY 2015 was the completion of a wage and staffing study. The results of the study
confirmed our beliefs that our compensation and classification structure is somewhat inconsistent internally
and externally, mostly in the compensation category. It will take time, focused effort and in some cases
collective bargaining with one or more unions in order to address the issues. There is also the “Nantucket
factor” which arises when attracting, hiring and retaining qualified personnel. A potential conclusion from
the study is that while in several areas Nantucket town employee compensation levels are somewhat
higher than comparable positions in comparable towns, the cost-of-living situations are not equal so higher
salaries are justifiable.
2015 Town Meetings/Budget
The 2015 Annual Town Meeting was held on Monday, April 6, 2015. The Town Meeting warrant contained
111 citizen and Town-sponsored articles, including appropriations, zoning, real estate dispositions, bylaw
amendments and home rule petitions. Of the 111 articles, approximately 30 were called for discussion. The
FY 2016 General Fund budget as approved by the 2015 Annual Town Meeting was $71,404,733 -- an
increase of about 6% over FY 2015. Approved General Fund capital projects for FY 2016 totaled
approximately $9,000,000 mostly for infrastructure repairs and maintenance 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:
Article 11 - New fire station for $15,000,000
Article 12 - School expansion project for $46,200,000
Article 80 – Ban on Sale and Use of Balloons
A complete listing of votes may be found on the Town’s website at the Town Clerk’s webpage
http://www.nantucket-ma.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/8659.
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 2017-18, we are continuing to review ways in
Page 35
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
Winter Storm Juno – January, 2015 - Highlights
Destroyed Town Pier and all hands on deck to fix it by summer (this was accomplished and we are
grateful to the various Town staff who worked hard to make it happen)
Town without power in locations for over 24 hours
Significant damage and erosion throughout the island
Governor Baker flew to island by helicopter to survey the damage
Huge thanks to National Grid, Verizon, Comcast and all Town departments, particularly
Harbormaster, DPW, Procurement, Emergency Management, Police and Fire
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. The update was completed during FY 2015 and may be found on the Town’s website at
www.nantucket-ma.gov/249/Comprehensive-Wastewater-Management-Plan. 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 issued a final report to the Board
of Selectmen in May of 2015. One of the recommendations concerned how to pay for upcoming sewer
projects. This discussion proceeded into FY 2016 and there will be a sewer project or projects put forward
at the 2016 Annual Town Meeting to begin implementing the CWMP.
Financial Management
A continuing goal is to achieve unqualified audit opinions. I am again pleased to report that we achieved an
unqualified audit opinion for FY 2015 (final audit report came out in 2016). The final report may be found at
http://www.nantucket-ma.gov/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/353. The Audit Committee (comprised of Chair
and Vice-Chair of the Board of Selectmen and Chair of the Finance Committee) met regularly through the
year with the auditor and staff to review audit issues as contained in the management letter to the audit.
In FY 2015, the Finance Director prepared a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the first
time (for Nantucket). This is a major undertaking and the report is available on the Town’s website:
http://www.nantucket-ma.gov/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/331.
Facilities Management and Public Buildings
In 2015 a Facilities Condition Assessment of the Town’s Public Facilities was conducted by LLB Architects,
Inc. of Providence, RI. The resulting report indicates the need for greater focus on immediate repairs,
facility upgrades and preventative maintenance. We will be putting forward increase requests for
maintenance, repair and capital items beginning in the FY 2017 budget to address these issues. LLB was
also engaged to conduct a feasibility study for a new municipal building at 2 Fairgrounds Road – pursuant
to a vote of the Board of Selectmen to move municipal offices to that location in the future. That study was
on-going into FY 2016.
Page 36
Several projects were in the planning and design stages at the end of FY 2015, including a renovation to
the Children’s Beach concession building, renovation to the Brant Point Boat House/Shellfish Propagation
Facility, new Fire Station, Hummock Pond Road bike path extension, reconstruction of the Boulevarde, bike
path connector from Prospect Street to Joy Street, and review of the Our Island Home facility. This facility is
outdated and in declining physical condition. As we moved into FY 2016 discussions were beginning
regarding the possibility of relocating the facility elsewhere on the island.
Housing
Going into FY 2016, we will be working to develop a plan for much needed housing (Town employee and/or
community) at the Town’s 2-4 Fairgrounds Road property. Discussions regarding a plan began toward the
end of FY 2015. The 2015 Annual Town Meeting voted to authorize a long-term lease of the property.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Board of Selectmen, my immediate staff, including Gregg
Tivnan (Assistant Town Manager), Erika Mooney (Executive Assistant to the Town Manager), Heidi Bauer
(Procurement Officer), Katie Cabral (Customer Service Specialist), Anne McAndrew (Licensing Agent);
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 AND COUNTY CLERK
We are in our second year of using the Commonwealth’s Electronic Birth Registration. Most of the kinks
have been worked out. Nancy has found, however, that affidavits and corrections of birth are becoming
more frequent. We have been using the new Electronic Death Registration for almost a year. We are
finding it problematic here in Nantucket in that oftentimes, the decedent sometimes is interred before we
have received the death certificate, and issued a permit. Cremations are sometimes getting their permits
the day-of.
We were so happy to swear in our new Fire Chief, Paul Rhude. We bid a very fond farewell to our retiring
Chief Mark McDougall. We will miss him.
I attend every conference that is scheduled in order to stay abreast of the ever-changing election laws, and
those of our other statutory duties. One change that I believe will be particularly cumbersome, and may turn
out to be costly as well, is the concept of “early voting” for the 2016 Presidential election. We will be
required to “open our polling place” (currently the High School) ten days prior to the election. We must staff
it every day, and perhaps hold hours on the weekends. The Commonwealth Clerks, who were not
consulted before this change, are hoping to modify this, or eliminate it altogether. We see this as an
impossible duplication of effort and expense. After all, our offices are open for absentee voting during
roughly the same period of time. I am hoping that this will have been modified by our fall conference at the
end of September, 2015.
We continue to be grateful for our new, more spacious offices. By the time you read this, we will have had
our new archival shelving system installed. You generously approved this at the 2015 Annual Town
Meeting. $49,000 was appropriated, but we have come substantially under budget at around $30,000. We
love visitors, so please drop in any time to see our new spiffy vault.
We thank the Board of Registrars: Carolyn Gould, Janet Coffin and David Goodman; and our stalwart Town
Meeting and Election Workers. Most especially, we are most grateful for Warden Frank Psaradelis and his
son Peter. They work tirelessly for days on end, setting up for, and dismantling our many elections and
town meetings. Sheriff Jim Perelman and Manny Dias make sure that all is in order at the ballot box. All
these folks’ hard work ensures that our elections come off without a hitch!
Page 38
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. The support extended to us by the voters at town
meeting, and through our everyday interactions make our jobs the most pleasant we could ever imagine.
As always, if there is anything that we may do to serve you better, please let us know.

TOWN COUNSEL
Fiscal Year 2015 represents the fourth 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
Page 50
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
We successfully resolved seven out of 14 pending cases against the Town or Town boards during the fiscal
year. Most significantly, we obtained a trial judgment dismissing a claim seeking damages for a regulatory
taking arising from the Conservation Commission’s denial of a permit to rebuild a beachfront residence in
Madaket, successfully resolved litigation and disputes involving erosion issues at Siasconset Bluff and
Baxter Road, and defeated an effort to block the Stop and Shop redevelopment project at Lower Pleasant
Street/Sparks Avenue from proceeding as permitted by the Planning Board.
Labor
We have assisted the Town, Our Island Home, and Airport administrations with numerous 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 have represented the Town in labor negotiations with Town unions and, as of the time of this report,
have reached final agreements with five of the Town’s unions and tentative agreements with two remaining
unions.
We have appeared before and provided legal advice on employment-related matters to Town boards,
including the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee.
We have represented the Town in several arbitrations involving contract interpretation and disciplinary
matters.
Further, we have represented the Town in various matters pertaining to the Town’s employee insurance
program.
Airport Commission
We continue to assist in the successful operation of Nantucket Memorial Airport with timely and cost
effective legal advice, as needed. Currently, we are representing the Airport Commission in the mediation
arising out of the construction of the new administration building.
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 forty (40) Yard Sale transactions, the sale of surplus Town-owned
properties for residential purposes and for affordable housing 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, Easements, Conservation Restrictions, Preservation Restrictions and Leases on behalf of the
Town. We have also advised the Town on the Yard Sale Program and possible revisions to the Nantucket
Yard Sale Guidelines and the Yard Sale closing documents, as well as affordable housing restrictions for
existing affordable housing properties and future projects.
Solid Waste Management Operations
We continue to attend quarterly meetings with Town Officials and the operator of the Town’s solid waste
facilities in order to address ongoing issues.
Water Enterprise
We have worked with the Nantucket and Siasconset Water Commissions to explore reorganization and a
potential merger of the two enterprise funds.
Chapter 40B Projects
Town Counsel has been providing legal services to the Town and its Zoning Board of Appeals related to
several ongoing comprehensive permit applications.
Rezoning Proposal
We assisted the Board of Selectmen in negotiating a memorandum of understanding with Richmond
Development in connection with a proposed rezoning of land located on Old South Road.
New Elementary School
We have been working with the Superintendent of Schools in connection with the construction of the new
elementary school. The services to date have involved advising the School Department on the procurement
of project management and design services, as well as handling bid protests in connection with the
construction project.
Wastewater
We have been advising Town administration with respect to the implementation of sewer extensions as part
of the approved comprehensive wastewater plan.
I speak for all my colleagues in saying that it is a privilege working for and with the Town of Nantucket. We
thank the Selectmen for their confidence in allow us to serve and the Town’s employees and officials for
their assistance to date. We look forward to many interesting and challenging projects throughout this
coming fiscal year.
Respectfully submitted,
John W. Giorgio
Kopelman and Paige, P.C.

COUNCIL ON AGING
The Nantucket Council on Aging (NCOA) was established by voters at the 1974 Annual Town Meeting. 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. The Gazette can also be viewed
on the Town of Nantucket’s website under the Council on Aging Department.
The Board of Selectmen appoints nine members from the community to serve on the NCOA Board for
staggered three-year terms. The NCOA holds regular monthly meetings on the first Wednesday of each
month at 1:30 PM at the Saltmarsh Senior Center.
The NCOA Board selects one woman and one man as “Nantucket’s Senior Citizens of the Year.” The 2015
awards went to Maureen Beck and Augie Ramos. Recognition from state and local officials is given at the
annual volunteer appreciation luncheon. The Nantucket Center for Elder Affairs, Inc. generously pays 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.
The NCEA board members continue to work on board development and fundraising for the Saltmarsh
Senior Center. Our eighth annual Elder Expo in September was geared toward informational sharing and
awareness of support services and volunteer opportunities for seniors.
Goals for fiscal year 2016 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 ninth Elder Expo in September 2016.
Maintain and improve our website and database of services provided to our seniors.
Continue to add seniors to the email list for Gazette distribution.
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.

OUR ISLAND HOME
Our Island Home (OIH) 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. 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. Staff consists of approximately 70 employees that include permanent and per diem personnel.
SURVEYS
Department of Public Health Surveys: OIH has two unannounced surveys each year. The first survey is a
Standard Survey was conducted in May 2015. The purpose of the survey is to ensure the facility is acting in
accordance with all applicable state and federal regulations. Any area noted that needs improvement or
immediate correction (referred to as a deficiency) must have a plan of correction created to address and
correct the issue. Upon acceptance of the correction, OIH is recertified to continue to participate in
Medicaid and Medicare programs. Our most recent survey resulted in deficiency-FREE survey! We are
very proud to have achieved this as they are rare!!
The second survey is a Life Safety Survey. This survey, also conducted through DPH, addresses the
construction, protection and occupancy features of the building that are necessary to minimize danger from
effects of fire and related components. We received four deficiencies from this survey, all of which were
labeled potential for minimal harm and immediate corrections were done.
The state of the building was a concern during this survey. There are key violations of code and
disintegrating of current systems that are in great need of being addressed. Some are already in the works
through upcoming capital programming while others are to be corrected through a potential new facility or
upgrade of the current facility. A feasibility study will be sought in FY 2016.
These surveys are available to view through www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare. The Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services implemented a five star rating system of nursing homes 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 three
out of five star facility.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND FISCAL MANAGEMENT
Within FY 2015 we had one key personnel adjustment in our administrative staff. Meris Keating left the
island and she was replaced with Taylor Hilst in April as the Activity Director. We also had the retirement of
our last Registered Nurses, Priscilla Worswick, after 15years of service!
We had another decline in our average yearly census compared to prior fiscal years. The FY 2015 census
average was 89.6% or approximately 40 out of 45 beds. Our largest payor source remains Medicaid/Mass
Health at an average of 71.1%. The other two payor sources are private at 21.1% and Medicare A at 7.8%.
Page 56
One goal for FY 2016 is to try and increase our census average overall and thus maintain revenue
projections.
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. A high level of
readmissions will begin to impact payment rates for OIH. OIH only had four residents readmitted to the
hospital within 30 days! Our FY 2016 goal is to try and prevent re-hospitalization within 30 days of
admission to prevent any impact on our overall quality measures and future payment rates.
OIH had an increase in their discharges to home. The percentage compared to last year almost doubled by
going from 22% to 41.7% of the total discharges! The remaining discharges are broken down as 41.7%
expired at OIH (these 15 residents were remembered at the Annual OIH Memorial Service), 5.5% to
another nursing facility and 11.1% to the hospital/not returned. In regards to admissions, we had a slight
decrease in overall admission. Under Medicare A our percentage of admissions dropped from 77% to 50%.
Medicare A is a higher revenue producer for OIH and often results from an acute hospital stay that result in
the need for skilled nursing and therapies (such as physical and occupational therapy). One goal for FY
2015 was to enhance our rehab services. We did add an additional therapist to focus primarily on Medicare
B services.
FY 2015 overall budgeted revenue was met due to the receipt of the 2012 calendar year Certified Public
Expenditure for $1.69 million. The CPE is the result of legislation enacted in 2009 that provides municipally-
owned nursing homes to submit a request for funding to offset the cost of public expenditures used in each
calendar year for providing Medicaid services to those who are eligible. Without this funding, revenues
would not have been met due to our lower than expected census levels, rate cuts to Medicaid payments,
and lower acuity level of some residents. Our current room rates are $420 per day for a semi-private room
and $440 per day for a private room. Our average cost per patient day to operate the facility, based upon
our calendar year 2014 cost report, is $531 per day.
The FY 2015 budget required a General Fund subsidy amount for $2,327,598. Furthermore, $534,237 from
OIH’s retained earnings was required to be used as voted upon voted at Annual Town Meeting. We did
require some additional funding from the Reserve Fund to cover over expenditures in workers
compensation and Medicare A expenses in the total amount of $174,910.
ENHANCE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS
We had two significant capital improvements to the facility during the fiscal year. The first was to remove all
carpeting through the facility offices and the resident dining room. This project also including replacing the
worn flooring in the kitchen and walk-ins. The second was the installation of a Voice Over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) phone system.
OIH participated in the beginning implementation of the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement
program (QAPI). This will be a mandate process coming soon to all nursing facilities. The purpose of the
program is to identify areas that need improvement prior to them becoming an issue or result in a
deficiency at survey. Once an area has been defined, a root cause analysis on the problem is conducted by
the identified staff and a plan is put in place to correct the identified barrier or cause. While this is not
necessarily a new process for OIH, it will now be a more formalized process with Performance
Improvement Plans and Teams established. Through implementation of this QAPI program, we have been
able to also enhance our Corporate Compliance and Ethics Committees.
Page 57
Our volunteer program remains active and successful in assisting with the 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 2015, the Friends of Our
Island Home citizen group also funded portions of this programming and other minor facility improvements.
This group works under the Community Foundation for Nantucket for fundraising efforts and assist in
expanding our group of dedicated volunteers. The Friends has provided tremendous support to the daily
activity programming and helped find vendors/contractors to donate their time, energy and even supplies to
enhance the daily lives of our residents. For more information on the Friends and their efforts please visit:
http://www.friendsofourislandhome.org. In collaboration with the Friends, OIH has continued to participate
in the Nantucket Wheelers program. This program enables eligible residents to go for rides on the bike
paths on a regular basis using “wheelchair bikes”. The outings have proved to be very positive on the daily
lives of those who are able to participate!

ISLAND SERVICES REPORTS
NANTUCKET MEMORIAL AIRPORT
A major financial milestone was reached in FY 2015 for the Nantucket Memorial Airport. For the first time
since FY 2011, the Airport did not require an operating subsidy from the Town. While this is a significant
first step toward the goal of financial self-sufficiency, continued discipline will be necessary to sustain this
progress.
During the year, the Airport completed negotiations with the Laborers’ International Union of North America
on a contract that will continue through June 30, 2017. The Airport also had a classification and
compensation study completed to standardize job descriptions and develop a consistent approach to the
classification of positions and associated compensation.
In previous years land in the Bunker Road section of the Airport was leased to various landscaping
companies in an effort to diversify the revenue generators at the Airport. While clearing the sites in October
2013 an unexploded ordnance (munition) was found and handled appropriately. Subsequently, the Airport
was informed that a portion of the land leased to these tenants was designated as a Formerly Used
Defense Site (FUDS) that was scheduled for investigation and remediation by the U.S. Army Corp of
Engineers (USACE) through a process in the year 2035. However, after being informed of the discovery of
the ordnance, the USACE advanced its plan to begin to the fall of 2015. In order to comply with USACE
requirements, two of the tenants had to be relocated to parcels in the vicinity of their original leaseholds.
Costs associated with this relocation effort will have a negative financial impact on revenues in future years.
Additional land leases will be considered to offset the impacts associated with these losses. In other land
business, the Airport continued to work with the Town of Nantucket to clarify various land ownership issues
in an effort to clearly delineate property ownership and control.
As part of the FAA requirement necessary to conduct commercial air carrier operations, the Airport
conducted a full scale emergency exercise in September of 2014. This exercise involved multiple agencies
from on and off the island and provided an opportunity to test coordination and communication efforts of the
various responding entities. In other operational related activities, the Airport purchased a new 1,500 gallon
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicle. This specialized piece of equipment is designed
specifically for aircraft fire and rescue and with associated tools and equipment cost approximately
$730,000, with 90% funded by the FAA and 5% from MassDOT. In addition to the ARFF vehicle, the
Operations Department also replaced the vehicle used for airfield inspections and added a Ground Power
Unit (GPU) to improve service to aircraft operators.
During the fiscal year, the Airport worked with students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and the
Town IT department to develop a new website. Launched in April, the new website has tremendously
improved services to the community and flying public. Features include a new flight tracking component
that allows the public to view the location of arriving and departing aircraft as well as a mechanism to file
noise complaints. Another significant technology implementation, Veoci software, has afforded the Airport
significant improvements of internal work processes. This program has enabled, so far, automation of the
self-inspection process, work orders, purchase orders and leave requests, and is being extended to
emergency response procedures and the automation of other manual processes. This has improved
Page 59
efficiency, tracking and organization of internal work efforts. A third technology improvement implemented
this year was the development of an App for Apple and Android devices that provides the public with
access to general airport information including weather, flight schedules, ground transportation and terminal
amenities. Additional technology improvements are scheduled for the coming year.
The winter of 2014-2015 will be remembered for years as one of the harshest on record. From late January
through the entire month of February and beyond, storms with high winds, snow and ice often resulted in
no transportation to and from the island by boat or plane. Although Airport crews minimized closure of the
Airport, other mainland airports were unable to open due to the storms, resulting in only emergency service
aircraft flights. The Airport staff again assisted the Town in clearing snow from Milestone Road and
provided equipment and personnel to de-ice the frozen transformers that had led to an island-wide power
outage.
Significant progress was made during the year on various projects. The Airport Master Plan was 90%
complete, with the air traffic forecasts approved by FAA and the submittal of the new, proposed Airport
Layout Plan (ALP) to FAA for approval. The ALP serves as a critical planning tool that depicts both existing
facilities and planned development for the Airport. Airport development must be accomplished in
accordance with an FAA-approved ALP. Among other efforts, design was completed for the refurbishment
of the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) with a $2.3 million construction project, funded entirely by a special
appropriation, estimated to be competed in March 2016. A security improvement package was planned and
completed in FY 2015 that included upgrades to the airfield access control system, additional ramp lighting
and fencing replacement. Design efforts were completed and bids received for the rehabilitation of a portion
of the commercial air carrier parking apron. This is the beginning of a long-term apron rehabilitation
program that was mapped by the Massachusetts Division of Aeronautics as part of a federal regulation that
requires pavement maintenance and condition reporting.
Nantucket Memorial Airport also continued pursing environmental stewardship activities. The Airport has
continued to implement best management practices to improve and maintain habitat for several species of
conservation concern native to Nantucket’s unique sandplain grassland and heathland ecosystems. These
include specific mowing protocols, herbicide and physical removal of invasive species, and continual
population monitoring. Sustainability has been integrated into the Airport Master Plan, which identified
tactics for maintaining not only rare species resources, but reducing and offsetting energy usage as well.
To this end, the Airport has pursued an Energy Audit, which identifies the Airport’s infrastructure and risk
capacity for future solar photovoltaic development. By addressing a WWII-era munitions burial pit in the
Bunker area, the Airport is not only remediating contamination from the former Naval Auxiliary Air Station,
but this area may provide for a future Brownfield incentive solar development.
For FY 2015, aircraft operations at the Airport were down 8.7% over 2014 from 119,639 to 109,225.
Passenger enplanements (passengers leaving Nantucket) for the period were down 5.65% over the
previous fiscal year from 174,129 to 164,290. In terms of fuel, the number of Jet A gallons pumped in FY
2015 was up 1.04% over FY 2014, from 1,194,978 to 1,207,361. AvGas gallons were down for the period
by 6.33% from 115,023 to 107,745. These statistics represent a slight growth in the general
aviation/corporate segment of airport traffic, but a decrease in the commercial passenger traffic. As
competition from fast ferry operators continues to impact commercial traffic, the Airport has been working
with airlines to diversify and add new destinations. In an effort to encourage additional and new service, the
Airport Commission approved an airline incentive program with three main goals in developing air service
for Nantucket. They are to expand year-round connectivity to the mainland via existing providers, address
Page 60
the longer seasonal demands with connectivity to the national system and to create improved access to the
national system during the off-season at reasonable rates. As part of these efforts, the Airport was able to
announce weekend seasonal service on Jet Blue to Washington National Airport.
In summary, the Airport continued to make progress in achieving its financial goals by realizing a profit in
FY 2015 and continuing to take the necessary steps toward financial sustainability. In addition to
diversifying revenue through additional land leases, the Airport will focus on air service development goals
of improving connectivity to the national system in the off-season and attracting service to new destinations.
Technology improvements will continue to be identified and pursued along with implementation of Master
Plan projects that are financially viable.

NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
Natural Resources enjoyed another productive year and continued to develop and expand our programs in
our mission to restore and enhance Nantucket’s natural resources. The duties of the Natural Resources
Department include the Conservation Commission, Beach Management/Endangered Species Program,
Shellfish Propagation, Natural Resources Enforcement/Shellfish Warden, Fertilizer Program and Water
Quality Program. The department is comprised of Natural Resources Coordinator Jeff Carlson, Shellfish
Biologist Tara Anne Riley, Natural Resources Enforcement Officer JC Johnsen, Assistant Biologist Leah
Cabral, Water Quality Specialist Kaitlyn Shaw and Office Administrator Joanne Cuppone. This past year we
had a number of interns during the summer of 2014. We would like to give a special thanks to David Berry,
Kelley Coughlan, Lindsay Walker and Oliver Engebretson for their hard work during this season. We are
looking forward to expanding all of our programs and developing programs 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 to the Commission. They were challenged by a number of difficult decisions and did an
outstanding job in their review of all projects. The Commission meets every other Wednesday in the second
floor Training Room at the Public Safety Facility 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 2014 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,
Page 61
Fisherman’s Beach, Madaket Beach and Smith’s Point/Esther’s Island. Other areas monitored for the
presence of breeding pairs includes Surfside Beach, Dionis Beach and Quaise Point.
SHELLFISH PROPAGATION
The Shellfish Enhancement Program is a fully integrated hatchery run by the Town of Nantucket Shellfish
Biologist, and focuses on the spawning of mature shellfish and holding the shellfish through the larval stage
for release, or growing out shellfish to seed sized individuals. Currently the program focuses on Nantucket
bay scallops, hard shell clams, and oysters. The program is approaching its maximum production capacity
with the current condition of the building. In 2010 the production rate was 5 million bay scallop larvae and
increased to 165 million in 2014 due to an upgrade in culture equipment. The next step is to ensure
program expansion and consistency of the production program by instituting building improvements. To aid
in this process the Natural Resources Department received a $350,000 grant from the Community
Preservation Committee to begin the renovation of the Brant Point Shellfish Hatchery.
A growth study for diploid and triploid oysters continued for the second of three years in Sesachacha Pond
using a bottom cage. 10,000 oysters were stocked and measured monthly for growth and survival. This
was set up to be a three-year growth study.
The Natural Resources Department instituted a shell recycling program with grant funding from the
Nantucket Shellfish Association. The program enrolled local restaurants and raw bars to separate their
shells for the department to cure for future use in building shellfish habitat. In the summer of 2014 over
28,000 pounds of shell were collected from 18 different restaurants and raw bars.
The Shellfish Biologist and the Natural Resources Coordinator served as advisors for the Shellfish Bylaw
Review Work Group (Harbor and Shellfish Advisory Board) in formulating new recreational and commercial
shellfish regulations for the Town of Nantucket.
WATER QUALITY PROGRAM
The Department of Natural Resources continued its water quality efforts of Nantucket Harbor, Madaket
Harbor, Long Pond, Sesachacha Pond, Miacomet Pond and Hummock Pond. The samples were collected
and processed from May through October. Monthly water samples were also collected for the Division of
Marine Fisheries from both harbors, Sesachacha Pond and Coskata Pond. We are looking forward to
expanding this program as Kaitlyn Shaw begins to develop this program.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
The Nantucket Department of Public Works is comprised of seven major divisions: 1) wastewater
collection; 2) wastewater treatment; 3) solid waste (both recycling and solid waste disposal); 4) urban
forestry; 5) stormwater management; 6) general street and sidewalk maintenance; and 7) facilities
maintenance. This annual report will provide an overview of each division and its accomplishments during
FY 2015.
The DPW continues to undergo reorganization with the addition of three labor staff, updated vehicles and
equipment as well as the introduction of more professional methods. A new work order system has been
implemented to prioritize and follow-up on work requests. In FY 2015, 1,300 work orders were requested
and were addressed in addition to all regular duties.
Wastewater Treatment
The Department of Public Works is responsible for the operation and maintenance of 11 sewer pump
stations and two wastewater treatment plants: Surfside and Siasconset. Both facilities are advanced
treatment plants, including nitrogen reduction and are in compliance with federal and state regulations.
Wastewater Collection
During FY 2015 the Town continued to make progress in achieving the recommendations contained in the
Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP) and the goals established in the Wastewater
Capital Improvement Plan. Staff continues to progress attaining higher Wastewater Treatment Plant
Operator licensing through the state.
A CWMP update has been completed. The first two sewer extension projects are being proposed for town
meeting in April 2016. Funds received at the 2015 Annual Town Meeting are being used to begin design of
the upgrades to the Surfside Wastewater Treatment Plant so that the additional flows from the needs areas
added in the CWMP can be accommodated without an additional treatment plant required in Madaket. The
Department of Public Works continues to provide daily maintenance of the sewer collection system.
Solid Waste
The solid waste facility took in approximately 47,275 tons for all categories of waste in 2015. Recycling
generated approximately $150,000. Landfill mining continued in 2015 and will provide future lined landfill
space and reclaim valuable buried materials, while at the same time significantly reducing the potential for
groundwater contamination.
Nantucket continues to be 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 14th Tree City
U.S.A. Award.
Stormwater Management
During FY 2015, the DPW installed new drainage structures; notably on Raceway Drive and Coffin Street in
Sconset, and repaired broken drainage structures across the island. This helps to reduce the number of
localized flooding locations.
Page 63
Streets
The DPW continues to sweep, repair and pave public streets. Two maintenance workers have been
dedicated full-time to repairing and resetting bricks and cobbles. SeeClickFix continues to be used by
citizens to report issues that need addressing.
Facilities Maintenance
A Facilities Division has been initiated to address maintenance and capital improvement planning for Town
buildings and facilities. A great deal of time was spent this year repairing Town facilities. The Facilities
Manager is assisted by one foreman and one maintenance worker.

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 occasionally toward 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 and Martha’s Vineyard each have a 35% vote.
The SSA’s five members meet monthly in public, alternating between the ports. Nantucket hosted meetings
in September 2014 and June 2015 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 significant
expense has generally been fuel. The SSA’s fuel hedging program has successfully managed to keep fuel
expenses at around 10% of the entire budget. Other major expenses include wages (50 - 55%), pension
expenses (15%), and maintenance of vessels and terminals (10 - 15%).
Total operating revenues for the year were just over $90 million, with expenses coming in just shy of that
figure. Any operating profit is generally used to pay down debt, for maintenance, or put towards future
projects such as terminal improvements and vessel replacements. 2014 ended with approximately 330,000
total miles traveled by all boats on both routes combined, representing just over 22,000 trips and just under
2,900,000 total passengers carried system-wide. As of the end of June 2015, passenger traffic was up
9.6% on the Nantucket route, with autos down 0.1% and trucks up 6.7% (due in large part to several large-
scale construction projects).
2015 began with some frozen harbors due to several prolonged cold spells and a seemingly endless string
of winter storms. For the first time in about a decade, ice became a real issue on a daily basis. The winter
workhorse on the Nantucket route, the M/V Nantucket (now over 40 years old), barely skipped a beat,
establishing itself once again as a very reliable all weather, and all season vessel.
Page 65
Half way through 2015, construction of the SSA’s newest vessel, the M/V Woods Hole, was well underway,
on budget, and on schedule to start service in time for the 2016 summer season. This state-of the-art
vessel is initially expected to begin service on the Martha’s Vineyard route, but will be fully interchangeable
on both the Martha’s Vineyard route and the Nantucket route, likely doing double duty on both runs.
The concept for the redesign of the Woods Hole Terminal was moving forward. The current terminal began
as a railroad passenger and freight terminus, with the current terminal building (now over 50 years old),
built and used initially as a freight storage warehouse.
We would like to thank all 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
be possible without the employees’ collective dedication and commitment.

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. Visitor Services 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
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. The office is open year
round - seven days a week in-season and closed Sundays, mid-December through mid-May. For those
traveling by boat, a satellite kiosk on Straight Wharf provides information to visitors and residents seven
days a week in-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 produced, coordinated supplies and facilitated all Town events and activities at Children’s
Beach during the summer from June to August. This included the tie-dye clinic, badminton, volleyball, kite
making, karaoke, ‘Friday Night Flicks’ and the Summer Breeze Concert Series including Thursdays with PJ
Moody.
Page 66
Visitor Services organized and produced all 2015 Fourth of July events on Main Street and Children’s
Beach. They also produced the Fourth of July brochure listing all venues, times and a map for the
festivities. This year music and balloon animals for the kids were added to Children’s Beach after the Main
Street festivities and continuing with the Children’s Games including sack races. Visitor Services helps to
organize the Fourth of July fireworks exhibition at Jetties Beach.
Visitor Services sponsored the Island’s Tour of Lights in December. In its 9th 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.
Visitor Services along with assistance from ReMain Nantucket put on the fourth Nantucket New Year’s
celebration for 2015. Held over four days, it consisted of community events available for all ages including
family friendly shows at the Dreamland Theatre, a New Year’s Eve gala ball at the Nantucket Hotel, cabaret
and children’s activities including a craft workshop and a puppet show at the new Community Music Center.
Visitor Services working with ReMain Nantucket and the Massachusetts Arts Council assisted a local
Executive Committee to develop a Cultural District on Island. The Town of Nantucket’s Board of Selectmen
sanctioned the district and it will be sent it to Massachusetts Arts Council for formal designation.

The following activities are highlights of the fiscal year for the Siasconset Water Department.
The Siasconset Water Department was recognized by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Protection for its efforts and excellence in Source Protection, Operations and Public Education efforts by
awarding it the Southeast Region’s Source Protection Award for 2015. This award is presented to only one
water system in each of the four MassDEP regions. The award is made based upon an evaluation of the
system by MassDEP staff. Additionally, the department was recognized for its work by Governor Baker who
awarded the department the Governor’s Award of Excellence in Public Water Supply.
The annual inspection of the water storage tank was completed and no deficiencies were noted.
The installation of the Verizon telecommunication equipment was completed on the water storage tank. The
lease will provide an average of $69,000 per year over 20 years to the Sconset Water Department.
Total production for the fiscal year was 58,441,728 gallons. This is an increase of 1,427,312 gallons (2.5%)
over FY 2014. The highest recorded daily production during the fiscal year was 543,175 gallons on July 2,
2014.

The Commissioners renewed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Nantucket Water Commission
whereby the Wannacomet Water Company will continue to provide certified operators as well as
administrative and operational support.
The Water Commission would like to express its thanks to the residents of Siasconset, other Town
departments, the Town Manager and the Wannacomet Water Company for their help and assistance
throughout the year.

The following are highlights that were achieved during Fiscal Year 2015.
Total fiscal year production from all of the wells was 610,644,000 gallons. This represents a 6.96%
increase from the previous fiscal year and is a record for production in a fiscal year. The previous record
was 597,539,000 gallons produced in FY 2008. The increase was due to record production in the last
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 peak production day for the fiscal year was 3,936,162 gallons on July 2, 2014.
The contract awarded to Holdgate Partners, Inc. for the extension of the water system to Hummock Pond
Road was completed in May of 2015. As part of this project new water fountains that are handicapped
accessible and pet friendly were installed along the Hummock Pond Road bike path.
Weather had a significant impact on Wannacomet in FY 2015. Tropical Storm Arthur visited the island over
the July 4th weekend and caused significant damage to Wannacomet pumping facilities. At the end of
January, Winter Storm Juno caused damage to the SCADA system (the computer system that monitors
and controls pumping and operation of the system) that wasn’t fully repaired until April. Through the efforts
of David Fronzuto, Director of Emergency Management, Wannacomet and Siasconset received
reimbursement for the costs incurred to restore the SCADA system.
Under the direction of Operations Manager Chris Pykosz, Wannacomet completed the conversion of the
water meter system to a fixed base system which eliminates the need for reading the meters from a
vehicle. Virtually all meters are read from the Wannacomet office and accurate water usage is available
upon request. This system allowed Wannacomet staff to detect abnormal water use in homes that were
unoccupied and notify the caretaker or owner to limit the amount of damage to the building. Utilitymen Bob
Earle and J. Curtis Glidden deserve recognition for their efforts to complete this conversion in this fiscal
year.
Utilityman J. Curtis Glidden retired from Wannacomet after 45 years of loyal service. J. Curtis was the last
employee of Wannacomet who started with the company when it was located on Main Street. J. Curtis’
Page 68
unique sense of humor and commitment will be sorely missed and his retirement signifies the end of an
era.
The Water Commission approved the staff plan for the replacement of the 1914 tubular well system at
Wyer’s Valley with a more efficient well system. Engineer Mark Willett is the Project Manager for this
upgrade and at the conclusion of this fiscal year the test wells had been installed and pump testing
completed. The design and installation of the two production wells and the related controls and piping will
be completed in FY 2016.
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. To the Town Manager,
department heads and fellow Town employees who provided assistance to Wannacomet over the past
fiscal year my sincere thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert L. Gardner
General Manager

PLANNING AND LAND USE SERVICES
The Department of Planning and Land Use Services (PLUS) was established at the beginning of FY 2013
and it contains four divisions including: Building, Historic District Commission, Planning, and Zoning. The
Health Division was subject to a restructuring at the end of FY 2015, which included moving the division to
Town Administration and relocating the office to an in-town location at 3 East Chestnut Street. PLUS staff
continues to strive for greater efficiency, improved customer service, and an enhanced “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
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. In FY 2015, the Building Division experienced a significant increase in inspection requests
and permit applications from recent fiscal years, with issued permits being higher than any year on record.
In April, Building Division fees were increased for the first time in many years to more closely match the
cost to the Town associated with providing services associated with the issued permits. This fee increase
also helped to off-set the cost of an additional full-time Local Inspector. Renovations/alterations of existing
buildings make up 93% of all building permits issued, a trend that has been steady since FY 2008.
Plumbing and wiring permits and inspections also continued to increase in FY 2015. The new inspectors,
Doug Bennett and Brendan Carroll, improved the application and inspection process and established
same-day inspectional services.
Building Division revenue totaled $1,326,758 including $1,012,376 for Building, $125,679 for Plumbing and
$153,370 for Wiring permit applications.
Page 70
HEALTH DIVISION
Well and septic system permitting and inspection, food service inspection and a variety of other work
pertaining to rules and regulations enforceable by the Board of the Health was completed by PLUS staff.
The Board of Health promulgated new local regulations about smoking on public property and revised
septic regulations for properties within the Nantucket Harbor Watershed Protection District. The Board of
Health continued implementation of the low interest loan program to local homeowners to assist with septic
system repairs and the Administrative Consent Order program assist Madaket property owners by
temporarily deferring Title V septic requirements, pending a long-term solution to wastewater needs. At the
end of the fiscal year, long-time Health Director Richard Ray retired and the division began a restructuring
to include a community health focus.
HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
The HDC issued 2,124 Certificates of Appropriateness and staff issued 372 Certificates of Appropriateness
for like-kind repair or replacement. Applications for new swimming pools and outdoor entertaining areas are
a growing trend, as property owners are seeking to provide more exterior amenities. During this fiscal year,
the HDC also reviewed major projects including an elementary school, the Boys and Girls Club, and the
mid-island Stop and Shop. The HDC held organizational meetings to discuss improving the level of service
provided to the public and to consider revisions to their enabling legislation. A consent agenda format to
facilitate more efficient meetings was very successful in reducing the meetings from two to one each week.
Four appeals of HDC decisions during FY 2015 were filed with the Board of Selectmen, one of which
advanced to Superior Court. 872 inspections were performed by staff, and mid fiscal year a new standard
of inspectional services occurring within 48 hours of request was established and maintained.
Revenue received from application fees totaled $202,764. Changes to the Commission membership
included the addition of Vallorie Oliver as an Associate Member.
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 passage of
Page 71
Article 68 at the 2015 Annual Town Meeting moved the permitting of commercial projects from the Zoning
Board to the Planning Board. The Planning Board approved applications for 13 Special Permits, six
Modifications to Previously Granted Special Permits, four Modifications to Previously Approved
Subdivisions, 49 Secondary Dwellings and four Tertiary Dwellings. Through the review of numerous
Approval Required and Approval Not Required plans, a total of 79 new buildable lots were created in FY
2015. The Zoning Board of Appeals reviewed 63 Special Permit and Variance applications, and the Zoning
Administrator reviewed 25 additional permit applications in accordance with Zoning Bylaw sections 139-29
and 33.
The Planning Board successfully advanced warrant articles for the 2015 ATM to implement objectives of
the 2009 Master Plan. All zoning articles adopted by Town Meeting were quickly approved by the Attorney
General.
Revenue totaled $84,727 including $57,727 for Planning and $27,000 for Zoning applications.

PUBLIC SAFETY REPORTS
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Nantucket Fire Department personnel displayed strength and dedication in FY 2015, in one of the most
demanding years in recent history. The demands placed on the department included: increased volume of
calls, calls of elevated severity, calls during extreme weather conditions and calls of extended time periods,
which required considerable resources. The department responded to a total of 3,103 emergency incidents,
an overall increase of 8%, a major increase of 22% in fire incidents and a substantial raise of 19% in alarm
activations.
The Fire Department responded to eight major structure fires, a wide assortment of smaller fires, multiple
car fires of varying degrees and other hazard calls involving fire for a record setting 82 working fires.
The Fire Department was called upon to evacuate ten members of the community from their homes at the
height of Winter Storm Juno. Overcoming the frigid temperatures, rising flood waters of the harbor, high
winds and the electrical hazards due to damaged wires in the area made this one of the most memorable
rescues to date. Four members of the department, (FF Dave Pekarcik, FF Nate Barber, FF Beau Barber
and FF Kevin Ramos) received the Fire Marshall's Fire Fighter of the Year Award for their heroic efforts in
this event.
Initiatives
2015 has seen the hard work of the Fire Station Work Group rewarded with the approval of funds to build a
new fire station. This has been in the works for some time now but is truly needed for the continued
protection of our island and community.
The Town of Nantucket embarked on a search for a replacement for retiring Chief Mark McDougall,
resulting in the hiring of Chief Paul Rhude during this past summer.
Students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute completed a study of response times for the Fire
Department. The study covered many aspects of response issues faced by the department. The work
completed by these students will be a viable tool for this department reaching well into the future.
Information gained through this collaboration includes geographic call density, response times as a function
of location, traffic and availability of staff (concurrent calls).

Fire Prevention/Fire Alarm/Code Enforcement
Fire Prevention
Fire safety education is paramount to affecting positive behavior and creating recognition of unsafe fire
safety practices. Utilizing the guidelines of the Student Awareness of Fire Education (S.A.F.E.) program
Page 73
and funding from the SAFE Grant, Nantucket Fire Department’s fire prevention education program taught
pre-school through high school age students about the dangers associated with fire. Age-appropriate
information on prevention, key fire safety behaviors and surviving fires curriculum align with the goals and
objectives of the State’s Curriculum Frameworks and the Common Core of Learning. The Nantucket SAFE
program owes much of its success to the partnership with public and private schools. Over 700 students
received fire prevention education in 2015.
Adult residents and visitors of Nantucket received fire prevention education in a variety of ways. Social and
news media for public service announcements, and presentations to various social, civic and religious
organizations occurred throughout the year. The Fire Department worked in partnership with the PLUS
Department to continually educate commercial businesses, including but not limited to assembly and
healthcare facilities, on building, fire and life safety regulations. In January 2015, NFPA 1 Fire Code was
implemented to provide guidelines for enforcement as a means to reduce catastrophic events. This year a
concerted effort was made in conjunction with the Nantucket Police Department to insure compliance of
fire, life safety and Crowd Manager regulations. The department’s Workplace Fire Safety program
expanded beyond housing facilities and municipal organizations to private businesses and hospitality
organizations. The Fire Prevention Officer and facilities managers assessed existing fire and life safety
measurements and identified areas needing improvement. Employees then received a presentation
customized for their facility addressing prevention and fire drill procedures. Fire extinguisher training was
also included. The entire program culminates with announced and unannounced fire drills. There were
three incidences this year where employees who received this training were able to use fire extinguishers
to suppress fires at their workplaces.
Fire safety education transitioned from the SAFE program for students ages three to 18 years, to the Senior
SAFE. This fire prevention education program is designed to improve the fire and life safety of older adults
in the state through education that addresses the unique fire risks for this age group. Some of the risks
include smoking, home oxygen use, cooking, electrical and heating dangers. The Senior SAFE Program
has created a partnership between the older adults and the Fire Department through established providers
of senior support services such as the Council on Aging, Elder Services, Visiting Nurse Association and
older adult living facilities on the island.
The Fire Prevention Officer and other department members recognize that community events provide a
vital link to educating all residents and visitors. We remained active participants in community
presentations, fundraising events and other outreach venues.
Fire Alarm
During this year we have continued to work towards improving the safety of the residents and visitors to the
island by working with local businesses and property owners to improve the safety systems within their
properties. The installation of fire suppression systems and fire alarm systems in the numerous commercial
projects that have occurred on the island during the last year has greatly improved the safety of visitors to
these properties. We are working with the Building Commissioner and Building Inspectors to continue to
maintain safety of our residents as our leading concern.
As technology has improved the Fire Department has worked to stay up to date with this technology. The
existing Gamewell Fire Alarm System is an example of dated technology that we, as a department and
municipality, are striving to bring into the 21st century. We have continued the advancement of the fire
alarm reporting system on the island by advancing the radio fire alarm system that reports directly to the
Page 74
Fire Department and Public Safety Dispatch with numerous facilities being tied into this system. At the
same time we have begun the shutdown of the Gamewell System in Siasconset Village with the removal of
the pole mounted boxes and beginning the removal of the overhead wire. This process will continue at a
steady pace with the majority of the shutdown being completed during the winter of 2016.

Future Initiatives
In the coming year Nantucket Fire will focus on creating and implementing a long term capital, staffing and
service delivery plan to meet national standards. These standards include delivery of advanced life support,
and reduction of response times. Over the next year we will also be supervising the design and
construction of the approved fire station project.
I am very proud of the performance and achievements of the Nantucket Fire team, and am excited about
the new challenges and opportunities which we will face in the coming year.

Department Accomplishments
Police
The Police Department coordinates public safety in the Town. Utilizing community policing tactics and best
practices in policing and emergency management, staff are able to deter and prevent crime, address
manmade and natural disaster and provide and overall sense of security for residents and visitors of this
community. The Police Department consists of 36 sworn police officers, 10 dispatchers and five non-sworn
staff.
The Police Department was able to accomplish the following major accomplishments in FY 2015:
Graduated our fourth class of citizens from the Citizen’s Police Academy program.
Expanded our Volunteers in Policing (VIP) program to 14 dedicated volunteers who contributed an
average of 90 hours per month of service to the department for a total of 1,098 hours which is
worth approximately $28,901.89 in volunteer time.
We hired a full-time “Business License Inspector” to help address the numerous alcohol,
entertainment, sidewalk obstruction and signage complaints received by this and other
departments.
We assumed responsibility for the management of the business licensing function for the Town
following a reorganization of the Town Administration office.
Harbormaster’s Office
The Harbormaster’s office is part of the Nantucket Police Department and is responsible to provide a wide
variety of front-line services that include responding to calls for service in the harbor and on the waterways
of Nantucket, as well as providing transportation for first responders to the out islands and hard to reach
beaches for fire, police or medical incidents. The Harbormaster’s office is staffed by two full-time
employees and numerous seasonal employees.
The Harbormaster’s office was able to accomplish the following major accomplishments in FY 2015:
Initiated a new program to improve the condition of the Town beaches by hiring a full-time Beach
Coordinator who will be responsible to coordinate all Town services used to maintain the beaches.
Completed major repairs to the Town Pier and floating docks following the damage caused by
Winter Storm Juno and had the pier open for business by July 1.
Completed a clean up of over 100 unclaimed dingy and small boats that had been abandoned on
many of the public beaches in and around the harbor.
Emergency Management Office
The Emergency Management office coordinates the planning, response and recovery from natural and
man-made disasters. The Emergency Management Coordinator works with the Police and Fire Chiefs as
well as other Town directors to insure that the Town is prepared in the event of a disaster. The Emergency
Page 77
Management office also coordinates mutual-aid agreements, preparedness grants and federal
reimbursement requests.
The Emergency Management office was able to accomplish the following major accomplishments in FY
2015:
The Emergency Management Coordinator conducted a damage assessment, collected
documentation and submitted a request for federal reimbursement from FEMA for over 1.7 million
in damages incurred by Winter Storm Juno. The reimbursement is expected to be approximately
75% of that amount and will be received sometime in FY 2016.
Secured a construction license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to install a
“Low Power FM” (LPFM) radio transmitter; channel 105.5 FM that will be used to disseminate
important information to the general public along with commercial FM and media partners during
emergency situations. The station is expected to go on the air in late 2015.
Installed a system of three emergency alert sirens that will be available to emergency managers as
a tool to alert the general public of impending life threatening situations that may impact Nantucket.
This system will be used in addition to the high-tech app-based systems, Ping 4, and reverse 911
systems already available to the Town. Installation is expected to be completed in the summer of
2015.
FY 2016 Goals
Police Operations
Maintain a high level of service to the citizens of Nantucket: We will conduct on-going evaluations of the
various programs and resources used to provide services. We will continually monitor incident response
times and outcomes to insure that we are responding to calls for service in an effective manner. We will
also maintain and improve our volunteer program, looking for additional opportunities for our VIP’s.
Maintain an atmosphere of safety for citizens: We will continue core programs such as community policing,
crime prevention, school resource officers, neighborhood patrols, traffic enforcement, criminal
investigations and emergency preparedness. We will continuously monitor the effectiveness of these
programs to insure they are consistent with the best practices in the field.
Budget and Capital Planning: We will monitor revenues and fees generated through our various programs.
We will also continue to evaluate the cost sharing agreement with the Nantucket Airport for police services
at their terminal. To help identify future budget needs we will develop a long-term capital plan that
addresses the needs of the department’s buildings, motor vehicles and technology.
Marine Operations
Capital Improvement Plan: Develop a Capital Improvement Plan for the Town Pier and Floating Dock
System and the repair or replacement of the F Street Bulkhead. Continue to evaluate the options available
and costs to improve or replace the restroom and office facilities at the Town Pier. Improve the usefulness
of the Jackson’s Point facility to improve response times in the Madaket Harbor area. Continue to maintain
and improve the usefulness of the lifeguard housing facilities as well as try to secure more available space.
Waterways Projects: Continue a project to dredge and rebuild the Boat Ramp area to improve safety and
access for boats at all tide levels. Seek grant funding to improve the Aids-to-Navigation program to improve
safe access for boaters to all areas of the island.
Page 78
Mission Capability: Continue to evaluate the mission capabilities of our marine vessels and determine their
suitability for the missions that we are engaging them in. Of particular concern is our limited waterside
firefighting capabilities. We will explore all funding and equipment options available to address this concern.
Beach Management: Develop and implement a four-season plan for maintaining our island beaches to
include trash clean-up, access, fencing and hazard removal. Continue the level of service for lifeguard
coverage provided during the 2015 season and conduct our first “junior lifeguard” program as a way to
encourage more participation in the seasonal lifeguard program by island residents.
Emergency Management
Outreach and Education: Conduct more outreach regarding emergency preparedness to businesses, faith-
based and community organizations, non-profits, conservation groups, school and other organizations to
improve preparedness and recovery efforts in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.
Enhanced Shelter Capability: Establish a more robust shelter system to include alternative shelter space
and updated MOU’s with the American Red Cross and shelter providers. Review and obtain MOU’s for
services needed during operational and recovery phases of an event.
Emergency Drills: Conduct live and table-top emergency preparedness exercises between all disciplines
designed to train and prepare Nantucket’s emergency responders to respond to natural and man-made
disasters.

It continues to be an honor to serve Nantucket as the Police Chief for the past ten and one half years and
to work with the many fine men and women of the Nantucket Police Department. As we move into the next
year, we will do so with an objective to better serve you, the citizens of Nantucket.

NANTUCKET PUBLIC SCHOOLS
World Class Learning: We Learn, Grow and Care
Through Rigor, Relevance and Relationships
2014-2015 was an incredible year for the Nantucket Public Schools. With enrollments continuing to rise, the
Nantucket community rose to the challenge and passed vote for a new intermediate school and an addition
to the middle school by an overwhelming majority. We are ever so grateful! The middle school work is
targeted to be completed by September of 2016 and the new, intermediate school is on an aggressive
timetable to be completed by September of 2017.

State Assessment Results
The Commonwealth’s state-wide assessment program 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
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
assessment. Results on the MCAS tests are reported by achievement levels that describe a student’s
knowledge and skills as they relate to the state content standards in Mathematics, English Language Arts
and Science. 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. Students receive a separate score and attain an 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.
As has been widely publicized, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts moved to a new assessment
(PARCC) system for grades 3-8, while maintaining the traditional high school MCAS assessment for the
2014-2015 school year. The new assessment was provided in a digital format and was a much more
rigorous test.
At Nantucket High School, our scores were similar to last year’s, reflecting that our students scored at the
state average in Science, slightly above the state average in Mathematics and considerably above the state
Page 81
average in English Language Arts. In particular, it should be noted that NHS had 54% of its students in
advanced in English as compared to just 27% across the state.
At Cyrus Peirce Middle School, our students scored at the state average in Science. In English Language
Arts and Mathematics, our sixth graders scored below the state average, but both our seventh and eighth
grade students scored at the state average.
At Nantucket Elementary School, our students in grades three, four and five scored below the state
average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This is clearly related to the high percentage of
“students with high needs” in these grades. This “high needs” designation is based on a state formula that
calculates students with Special Needs, English Language Learners and those who are economically
disadvantaged. We know that, based on this significant population, we need to provide more resources and
training for staff to help our students meet their potential.
Based on our achievement scores, each school in the district is now designated as a Level 2 School (as is
the district as a whole), indicating that students met most, but not all, of their assessment targets. We know
that English Language Arts continues to be a strength for students in the district, but that mathematics is an
area in which we must improve. 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.
In addition to raising student achievement, we know that we must always remain committed to ensuring
that our students’ physical and emotional needs are met. A strong physical education program, exciting
music/arts programs, varied world languages and broad vocational education are integral to that and I am
proud to report that we have maintained our commitment to each of those.
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
our children and take pride in providing a learning atmosphere that promotes intellectual challenge and
emotional wellbeing. A school system is only as good as its teaching faculty.
We are blessed 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 outstanding colleges
and universities. Clearly, students who go through the Nantucket Public Schools can, if they work hard, go
anywhere and be successful!
Nantucket Elementary School – submitted by Principal Kimberly Kubisch
2014-2015 was another busy year at Nantucket Elementary School. The administrative team in place
continued to be – Kimberly Kubisch Principal, Nina Slade Associate Principal Pre-K – 2, and Michael
Horton Associate Principal 3-5. Nina Slade provided ELA support across Pre-K to fifth grade classrooms
Page 82
and Michael Horton provided Math support across Pre-K to fifth grade classrooms. The three of us spent a
great deal of time in classrooms formally observing teaching and learning. We continue to utilize the Mass.
DOE Evaluation System, which is very rigorous and informative. The staff and students 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 sixth year as the core math
program, and for the fourth year the Language Arts Program - Houghton-Mifflin Journeys was used. In
writing, we are utilizing the resources from Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (Columbia
University). Staff knows that these three programs are to be used as a resource, but the requirement for
teaching and learning is to master the Common Core Standards. All of these resources were utilized,
refined, and expanded upon to support the teaching and learning of the Common Core State Standards.
The NES staff collected and utilized a great deal of student performance data. AIMS Web was used to
collect and analyze reading and math student performance data three times during the year. Teachers also
utilized assessments with the Journeys and Math Expressions resources, as well as Fountas and Pinnell
Reading Benchmark Assessments (these were also three times). The Fountas and Pinnell tool allows NES
teachers to use the same assessment tool across all grade levels. MCAS results from 2014 also helped to
provide necessary student information. Teachers were focused on using data to inform instruction. They did
creative instructional moves to support instruction including targeted Response to Intervention groups.
Students across the third grade level switched classes to work on particular skills with which they needed
support. Our fifth grade teachers worked in teams to platoon for the first time at NES. This was a
recommendation of the math task force to have students move from teacher to teacher while each teacher
focused on a specific content area. It is our hope that this will help with presetting students for the transition
to middle school.
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, students who receive ELL services were spread across all classrooms as
several more staff members, including administration, pursued their Sheltered English Instruction
credentials through the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. 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. 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.
To support staff with boosting student engagement in their learning, all classrooms have SMART interactive
whiteboards and technology which is being utilized throughout the building in all classrooms in some way.
Professional development in technology continued. Teachers had Google Apps for education training, and
the students were using technology in classrooms daily, including Reading Eggs, IXL, Read Naturally, and
Math Seeds. In addition, we continued to put more computers in classrooms for centers and/or an iPad
cart. We purchased several Chromebooks. These were needed to do the standardized testing for Grades
three through five. Students were trained in the new device usage and had significant opportunities to use
them in preparation for PARCC testing in March and May.
Page 83
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.
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. Once again, our fourth grade students
reaped the benefits of our 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 also
had our third year of our partnership with the renowned Walden Chamber Players. They came three times
during the year. In this residency, they performed for each class, held an information/performance night for
families, were pen pals with third grade classes, held performances at the FONPS Holiday house tour and
at the Dreamland. Our students performed alongside these wonderful musicians.
Cyrus Peirce Middle School – submitted by Principal Peter Cohen
During the 2014-15 school year, the student population was 330 students. With a small (95 students) 6th
grade class, CPS has a brief window before we will simply be out of space. Fortunately the Town of
Nantucket gave its support of a new addition of six classrooms at CPS that will alleviate our space issues in
the near future.
Under the leadership of the CPS faculty, Principal Dr. Peter Cohen, Ed.D and new Assistant Principal
Torrance Lewis the school worked to improve student achievement, raise the level of instructional rigor,
and create a positive school climate. The mission of Cyrus Peirce Middle School is to prepare students to
grow intellectually and socially in a supportive yet challenging environment and to provide them with 21st
century skills for success in high school and beyond.
The 2014-2015 school year was the first year with an assistant principal in place at CPS. The partnership of
Dr. Cohen and Mr. Lewis allowed the school to restructure student discipline protocols, spread out the
requirements of the teacher evaluation system, and continue to improve the schedule and programming at
the school with an eye towards an improved intervention system for students with academic struggles.
The Cyrus Peirce Middle School is 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 set forth to
maintain initiatives which support our school’s mission. With a new administration in place, the 2014-2015
school year was focused on reflecting on what works at CPS and what can be improved.
Moving forward, staff and stakeholders continued to place instruction and increasing student achievement
as the greatest priority. To that end, events and programs were developed throughout the school year to
continue to increase the quality of the middle school experience. Students are exposed to a full range of
coursework at the middle school level. At CPS we strive to ease the transition from elementary school and
set students up for success as they prepare for high school. At the middle school level we focus as much
on teaching students to be students as we do on content.
Page 84
Students in all three grade levels participated in the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing, which
is an assessment system aimed at determining student strengths and weaknesses in language arts, math,
and science. These assessments were administered in September, January, and May to determine student
growth and focus instruction on areas of weakness. We also spent many hours learning about the new
PARCC assessment, which replaced the MCAS for middle school students. Members of the faculty
participated in professional development to better understand the data analysis process and the new
PARCC assessment.
Professional development was a priority to support improved instruction. In addition to the MAP data
workshops, CPS sent teacher representatives to the New England League of Middle Schools conference in
Providence, the Association for Middle Level Education conference in Nashville, the National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics conference in Boston, the International Society for Technology in Education
conference in Philadelphia, and the National Science Teachers Association conference in Chicago. By
exposing our educators to the leaders in the field around the country our school benefits greatly.
CPS also continued the road towards a 1:1 learning environment with the addition of 150 Chromebook
computers, which were utilized by students in all grade levels. By the time you are reading this, we will
have successfully transitioned to a computer for each of our middle school students.
Nantucket High School – submitted by Principal John Buckey
The 2014-2015 was academic year was rife with success at Nantucket High School. Our students
continued to achieve in the classroom, on the athletic fields and courts, on the stage, in the art and music
studios and in the community. Our talented veteran staff was joined by nine new teachers, who did an
outstanding job educating our students across the curriculum. Academically, the number of students
participating in our Advanced Placement program increased significantly. We added three Advanced
Placement classes – AP Physics, AP Environmental Science and AP Statistics – and administered nearly
100 more exams than in 2014. We added two new vocational courses – landscape architecture and
gardening and graphic arts. In addition, we hired four new vocational technology teachers – Ms. Merrill
Mason in graphic arts, Mr. Tom Proch in culinary arts, Mr. Mike Girvin in wood technology and Mr. Chester
Barrett in automotive. This year we saw the first class to see back to back state winners in the culinary
ProStart competition, which also competed in the Nationals two years running, improving their achievement
from 39th to 14th place in just one year. Over 80% of our students elected to continue their education after
graduating, going to community colleges, technical schools, colleges and universities across the country.
Our athletic teams did exceptionally well. Our athletic accomplishments included winning Cape and Islands’
league championships in boys’ soccer, girls’ soccer, and field hockey. The football team won the Mayflower
league small division championship. Girls’ swimming won the Bay Colony Conference regular season
championship and wowed us all with an impressive 7th place at the State Championship meet having a
student-athlete place third in the state in diving. Boys’ swimming won the Bay Colony league meet. And,
boys’ lacrosse won the Cape and Islands’ league Championship with a perfect 10-0 record and were
semifinalists in the state tournament system. Add to that 14 of our 15 varsity sports teams qualified for
tournament play and Whaler Pride was alive and well. The community of Nantucket continued to be an
invaluable partner in our educational opportunities as well as an extension of our campus. One fifth of our
seniors participated in School to Career opportunities across the island. We are grateful to our community
partners for opening their businesses and organizations for these extended learning opportunities. Once
again, 100% of our graduating seniors completed their community service graduation requirement, giving
back and providing benefit to myriad island causes. The fine, applied and performing arts had an amazing
year. Many of our young musicians participated in Cape and Islands as well as state music festivals and
Page 85
auditions. Our drama department staged a very successful fall play, which was followed in the spring by an
inspiring rendition of The King and I as the musical. We had several students participate with the Artists
Association’s spring Junior Artists show, many receiving awards for their outstanding work.
Dr. John J. Buckey completed his seventh year as principal of Nantucket High School. Dr. Buckey led the
largest graduating class – 101 students – though graduation exercises, replete with a keynote address from
island author Nathaniel Philbrick. Nantucket High School seniors Isabella Day and Lisa Genthner were
named the 2015 Nantucket Golf Club Foundation Scholars. The island community generously gave
Nantucket High School graduates from 2015 and numerous alumni local scholarships well in excess of half
a million dollars.
Special Services – submitted by Director Nancy Miller
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 Massachusetts 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 needs services are provided in classrooms, in our activities
and on our playing fields, all students benefit.
Our system-wide support services for students, ages 3–22, broadly 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, 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 2014-2015 was expanding the Language Based
Learning Disabilities (LBLD) program at Nantucket High School. In an effort to better support the LBLD
Program, the district added a Special Needs Teacher dedicated to the program full-time. The district
increased consultation services from Landmark Outreach to the program and developed a comprehensive
schedule for the students in the program that includes small group instruction, reading tutorials, co-taught
classes and electives.
This year, the district completed a Self-Assessment for the Department of Elementary and Secondary
Education (DESE) in preparation for the Mid-Cycle Review scheduled for October, 2015. The Mid-Cycle
review is an audit of our Special Education Department and focuses primarily on district compliance to state
and federal regulations for students with disabilities.
During the 2014-2015 school year, the Department of Special Services provided a range of professional
development activities including presentations on Civil Rights, Proloquo, Language-Based Strategies for
the Classroom, Behavioral Strategies for the Classroom, and Transitions for Special Needs Students to
Adult Services.
For the first time in many years, the Department of Special Services participated in the Cape and Islands
Special Olympics Spring Field Event. A team of five staff members and four students joined other Cape
students in team and individual events such as jumping, running, throwing, catching and balancing. It was a
day filled with joy and our students were all smiles as they showed off their medals on the boat ride home!
Page 86
The district anticipates expanding our team participation for next year, hoping to expand to all students who
wish to participate.
Approximately 224 students were provided services in our local schools through an Individualized
Education Plan (IEP) during 2014-2015. This represents about 14.6% of our student body and is below the
state average of approximately 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 were approximately 85 students who
received classroom accommodations in accordance with 504 Accommodation Plans. Finally, in accordance
with Child Find regulations, during 2014-2015, the Special Services department conducted 185 Special
Needs evaluations in response to requests from families, teachers and specialists.
English Language Learners – submitted by Director Jeremiah Splaine
Nantucket Public Schools has experienced an unprecedented growth in the number of students who speak
a language other than English as their native language. As recently as 2005, there were only 39 English
Language Learners (ELL) enrolled in our three schools. Today, Nantucket Public Schools enrolls more than
250 students who are learning English as a second or third language. They are simultaneously expected to
learn rigorous academic content in a language that they don’t understand or speak. As of October 1, the
date that the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) officially collects
enrollment data, the total population of ELL students at the three schools numbered 251. That number has
since grown as ELL students continue to arrive throughout the school year. English Language Learners
now account for more than 14% of the total student population district-wide.
This growth in the student population reflects the dynamic change in the demographics of our community.
Students at Nantucket Public Schools come from more than a dozen different countries including Brazil, El
Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Colombia, Bulgaria,
Lithuania, Poland, Thailand, Ireland, Italy, Nepal and Jamaica. Today, more than 40% of all students at
Nantucket Public schools self-identify as members of minority groups. This drastic shift in the composition
of the student body has prompted Nantucket Public Schools to implement measures that expand our
capacity to provide these students with a meaningful and rewarding educational experience.
Since 2012, Nantucket Public Schools has taken the following steps to address this recent phenomenon:
Hired a full-time Spanish translator/interpreter, located at the front office of Nantucket High School.
Hired a full-time Spanish speaking parent liaison to assist in the office of Nantucket Elementary
School.
Increased (from 5 to 8) the number of teachers servicing ELL students. There are now four certified
ELL teachers at Nantucket Elementary School, two at Cyrus Peirce and two at Nantucket High
school.
Hired a full-time bilingual Spanish teaching assistant at Cyrus Peirce.
Hired a full-time Director of English Language Learner Services to join the district’s administrative
team. The Director of ELL Services works to address compliance with DESE mandates, to keep
abreast of current developments in the field by participating in the Massachusetts English Learners
Leadership Council (MELLC), a professional network of ELL administrator’s across the
Page 87
Commonwealth, and to provide administrators, teachers, and teaching assistants with meaningful
professional development in policy and best practice for ELLs.
Offered staff multiple opportunities for professional development regarding English Language
Learners.
This professional development includes facilitating the implementation of The RETELL (Rethinking Equity
in Teaching English Language Learners) initiative requires that all administrators and core academic
teachers earn an endorsement to their teaching license by taking the Sheltered English Instruction (SEI)
endorsement course by June 2016. As of 2015, 43 teachers and 9 administrators have earned the SEI
endorsement. By June of 2016, an additional 53 teachers will complete the SEI course and earn their
endorsements in Sheltered English Instruction. The goal of RETELL and the SEI endorsement is to provide
teachers with useful instructional strategies to make their academic content more accessible to students
who do not speak English. District and building-level administrators’ SEI endorsement has provided them
with guidelines and expectations to assist them in their observation and evaluation of teachers who are SEI
endorsed.
Also in 2012, Massachusetts joined the World Class Instruction and Design and Assessment (WIDA)
consortium of 38 states who have adopted common standards and assessments for English Language
Learners. WIDA provides teachers with many useful tools to improve instruction for ELLs. Nantucket Public
Schools uses the WIDA Measure of Developing English Language (MODEL) as our assessment tool for
initial identification of ELL students’ needs. In January, ELLS at Nantucket Public Schools and across the
Commonwealth and the entire United States, take the ACCESS for ELLs annual standardized test of
English proficiency. Results of both the ACCESS and the MODEL are used to identify the English
proficiency level of ELLs and to schedule services for these students according to their needs as required
by DESE. Beginners receive an hour and a half of direct, explicit instruction in the English language per
day. Students at higher proficiency levels receive a minimum of one class period per day in English
language development. Implementation of the WIDA standards and tools is an integral component of the
SEI endorsement as teachers differentiate their core academic instruction according to the varying linguistic
needs of their ELL students.
English Language Learners bring a wealth of talents and a rich cultural and linguistic diversity to our school
community. Their unique experiences, personal histories and multi-cultural heritage are an asset not just to
the students and staff of our school system, but to our island community as well. Nantucket Public Schools
will continue to welcome immigrant students, to include them in all programs and opportunities that we offer
to students, to provide them with a systematic program of instruction in the English language and to deliver
instruction in a manner that provides meaningful access to academic content.
Technology Department – submitted by Director Karen McGonigle
The Nantucket Public Schools technology department is responsible for all infrastructure, systems,
applications, classroom tools, repair and maintenance, coordinating mandated state and federal data
collection and reporting, and staff professional development in the use of these systems and applications.
The 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
department focuses on: Educational Technology; Infrastructure; Professional Development; Data Collection
and Reporting.
Page 88
Educational Technology
The technology department continued to add and upgrade SMART Boards, desktop computers, laptop
computers, iPads and Chromebooks for classrooms at all schools. Obsolete equipment was removed from
service and recycled. The Google Apps for Education initiative continued and grades 3 and 4 were added.
The technology department provided significant support for the PARCC online assessment for grades 3-5.
Chromebook carts were added at NES to support the PARCC initiative and allow for 1:1 testing by grade
level. Chromebooks were also purchased for CPS in support of PARCC. All CPS teachers were given a
Chromebook in preparation for a planned 1:1 initiative at the Cyrus Peirce Middle School.
Infrastructure
The district was able to acquire new technology tools in all three schools as follows: 49 desktop computers;
72 laptops; 8 iPads; 268 Chromebooks; and 13 SMART Boards with projectors. An application for federal
ERATE funding was submitted to upgrade the wireless network in FY 2016. Internet bandwidth was
upgraded to a direct fiber connection at 200Mbps utilizing federal ERATE funding. A new student
information system, Follett Aspen, was implemented in FY 2015. This application replaced the student
information system, health system and special education system and compiled all data into a single
database repository.
Professional Development
The focus for professional development continues to be high quality training for using technology in the
classroom. Sessions included SMART Board interactive whiteboards, SchoolCenter website development,
Kurzweil and Google Apps for Education. Significant onsite and web-based training was provided for Aspen
as part of the student information system project.
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.
Nantucket Public Schools Facilities Department – submitted by Director Diane O’Neil
The Facilities Department and its entire staff work very hard to maintain and upgrade as needed all School
facilities and grounds. Projects that were completed in the 2014-2015 school year include: an Integrated
Keyless Entry System in all schools; window bank replacements; the renovation of the Photo Lab at NHS;
bathroom renovations at all three schools; sidewall replacement on the pool building; the replacement of
several Elementary School playground pieces; the renovation of the First Way building for the Central
Offices; classroom floor replacement throughout all three schools; the replacement of auditorium seating
and the refurbishing of the auditorium floor; replacement of the pool scoreboard; replacement of water
fountains with water bottle filling units; and starting the new Intermediate School and Middle School
renovation project. The FY 2015-2016 projects we expect to complete are: the continued work on the
Intermediate school and middle school addition; the Backus Lane storage building; continuation of
replacing window banks; painting all exterior trim at NHS and CPS; the refurbishing of the front apron at
NHS; the CPS vestibule for safety and security; replacement of the NES generator; exterior repairs on the
Field House; and the relocation of the CPS woodshop.

Nantucket Community School – submitted by Caitlin Waddington
The past year has brought many exciting changes and expansions to the Nantucket Community School.
We began the year settling half of our team in our new downtown campus at 56 Centre Street (only to join
them throughout the winter during the First Way renovation) before landing in our newest Mid-Island
Campus at Candlewick Corner (128 Old South Road).
Throughout all of these changes, the Nantucket Community School's team members were exceptionally
busy expanding and coordinating their programs. Their hard work resulted in a full complement of enriching
and engaging activities for all of our islanders and seasonal guests. Below are a few highlights:
Website – Fully redesigned our website to work in conjunction with our new registration software
”Learning without Leaving” - Collaborated on this research study with ReMain Nantucket and
UMass Boston; facilitated working group and developing strategies for Adult Ed expansion
Early Childhood Ed – restructured this program at 56 Centre (minus the ECC for drop-in)
Spring Into Fun childcare program – designed and implemented to fill the gap during the Boys’ and
Girls’ Club closure
Extended Day after school program – expanded by 16% (from 47 to 56 children)
Moved offices from First Way to 56 Centre and moved offices from 56 Center to CPS camp office
and to Candlewick Corner
Reopened the Early Childhood Center at Candlewick Corner
Community Recreation – Pilot collaboration with the Town and DPW to coordinate activities on the
Town fields, the tennis courts at Jetties beach and Essex Park
Child Development Education, Inc. - Developed relationship with and secured $5,000 per year
MOU for FY 2015 and FY 2016 for Adult Education support to Early Childhood Educators
Collaborated with Camp Summit committee to revise the scholarship process for summer camps
Secured tuition funding through Community Foundation for Nantucket and Nantucket Golf Club
Foundation for the Spring into Fun programs and the Preschool tuition assistance program
Expanded summer programming – Summer Bridge, Extended Day Summer Camp and Adult
Enrichment & Fitness classes
We are fortunate and honored to serve such a generous community. Financial support from the Nantucket
Education Trust and the Tupancy-Harris Foundation assured the continuation of Summer Boost. The
Nantucket Yacht Club provided an unsolicited donation to support YELL, our teen leadership program and
ESOL for adult learners. Private donations were received in Will Brown’s name to offer Learn to Swim
scholarships. The Nantucket Golf Club Foundation and the Community Foundation for Nantucket
collaborated to provide childcare tuition assistance, and ReMain Nantucket continues to gift the community
with a beautiful, state-of-the-art building for offices and classroom space; a place for EVERYONE to grow
through lifelong learning.
Much of what the Nantucket Community School provides is a direct result of involvement of our islanders,
collaborative business partners and the vision and support of the NPS School Committee and the Town of
Nantucket. We truly appreciate the opportunities this has afforded us in reaching the Nantucket Community
School’s mission to engage, strengthen and connect our community.
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
Page 90
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.
We 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

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 and recommendations of seasonal Nantucket residents who vote in other
jurisdictions. 76% of the real estate taxes are paid by taxpayers with an off island address.
During FY 2015, five public meetings of the ACNVT were held beginning July 19, 2014 and the last June
27, 2015. During these meetings, the committee had the opportunity to hear from various former members
of the Board of Selectmen, top officials of the Nantucket Cottage Hospital, and the Transportation Planner
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 ACNVT also co-sponsored (with the Nantucket Community Association) a seventh Summer
Forum which was well attended.
The committee reviewed the following matters/issues brought to its attention:
Reviewed plans for relocation of the hospital to Wyers Valley versus reconstruction on the
Prospect Street site, pros and cons, and recommended its reconstruction to the Board of
Selectmen
Need for affordable housing to accommodate year-round and seasonal workforce, if not provided
by employers, with total number of units fulfilling state’s criteria to bar 40B developments
Status of ‘Sconset Bluff armoring
Heard report and discussed status of Town plans for new bike paths and for improvements along
Old South Road to accommodate foreseeable traffic increase and recommended these
transportation initiatives to the Board of Selectmen

AGRICULTURAL COMMISSION
Over the past year, the Nantucket Agricultural Commission has:
Worked on and finalized recommendations to the Board of Health permit for the Keeping of
Animals. Worked with the Board of Health and discussed our suggestions for changing the permit.
After the Board of Health’s public meeting on the permit changes, we discussed and heard from
numerous members of the public on issues relating to animals. We have continued to meet with
Officer Gale who is now proposing changes to the bylaw as well as the Town’s nuisance bylaw. We
have read her amendments and have made suggestions.
We have looked at the Town’s zoning concerning greenhouses.
We met with Pete Westover from the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture. He travels around
the state helping agricultural commissions to understand their roles and what other agricultural
commissions are doing.
Drafted a right to farm bylaw and submitted it as a citizen sponsored article for the 2016 Annual
Town Meeting.
Updated the Agricultural Commission’s website to include pertinent links and changes to positions.
The Commission’s goals for the coming year are to:
Work with the Zoning Board on greenhouse zoning.
We will update our recommended plan of work and pursue the items left.

CAPITAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE
The basic purpose of the Capital Program Committee (CapCom) is to review all capital expenditure
requests over $50,000. CapCom’s report provides the Board of Selectmen, the Finance Committee, Town
Administration - and ultimately the taxpayer - with an independent review of the capital expenditure
requests for the upcoming fiscal year. Last year, CapCom was pleased to introduce an expanded Capital
Improvements Program (CIP) report to the budgeting process for FY 2015 and beyond. The FY 2016 report
updated last year’s first ten-year forward view of capital projects, debt service for bond financing, and the
impact these expenditures might have on Nantucket’s taxes and financial position. Additionally, a Capital
Reserve Fund was approved at town meeting starting with $1 million.
For 2016 general government, the CIP recommended $70.341 million in General Fund capital items be
approved. Capital for a new Elementary School ($46.2 million), a new Fire Station ($15 million), and design
for a new Our Island Home ($1 million) totaling $62.2 million will be borrowed. The remaining capital items
totaling $8.092 million were suggested to be funded from: proceeds from real estate sales ($3,853,000),
prior year capital article appropriations ($404,131), Free Cash ($2,723,869), Hummock Pond Road Bike
Path Gift Fund ($120,000), capital from Operating Budget ($690,000), and the Waterways Fund
($350,000).
Page 95
For the 9 years beyond 2016, the largest anticipated General Fund capital items total $63.35 million:
$15 million - construction of a new Our Island Home
$7 million - demolition and construction, or renovation of 20 South Water Street
$3.6 million - construction of a replacement 2 Fairgrounds Road Town building
$3.25 million - new High School stadium and fields
$6.5 million - Phase 2 stormwater improvements
$3 million - design and construction of a replacement DPW garage
$17 million – potential General Fund portion for Madaket/Fishers Landing/Somerset sewer
collection system
Additionally, the Sewer Enterprise Fund may impact General Fund capital for seven other Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP)-studied sewer projects, but prioritization, timing, and funding
issues are still under consideration, so no capital projections were included in the General Fund 10-year
capital plan.
The worst case projected impact on taxpayers for the debt service for capital borrowing for the Fire Station
is $4.61/hundred thousand (residential) and $8.15/hundred thousand (commercial), and for the new School
is $15.81/hundred thousand (residential) and $30.22/hundred thousand (commercial).
For 2016 Enterprise Funds, the CapCom recommended $20,120,025 in capital spending for 2016:
$3,770,025 for the Airport, $5.25 million for Wannacomet Water, $1.95 million for Solid Waste and
Recycling, and $9.15 million for Sewer and Wastewater.

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 lot and services price list, and regulations in order
to assure the respectful committal of human remains on Nantucket.
The Cemetery Commission welcomed newly appointed member Scott McIver as FY 2015 began. The
Commission received a request to change the name of the Colored Cemetery to the Historic Coloured
Cemetery to better reflect the long historical background of the site. The Commission held a public hearing
and voted to change the name. In addition, the Commission approved and oversaw the layout of three new
Page 96
lots in the Historic Coloured Cemetery and communicated with the Hospital regarding access to the site as
their plans for a new building progress.
The Commission continued work on refining the forms, procedures and systems necessary to record, and
the account records to report income and expenses of sales of cemetery lots. Once the forms and systems
were established we began lot sales at Polpis Cemetery, and the three lot sales at the Historic Coloured
Cemetery. The Commission initially laid out 50 lots at Polpis and by fall of 2014 had sold 38. Forty-three
additional lots were laid out as sales continued.
The search for additional lots at Newtown Cemetery continued. After conducting “poling” at several possible
sites with uncertain results, the Commission decided to contact Harwich Cemetery to request their help with
ground penetrating radar to locate possible burial sites at Newtown and possibly in other Town cemeteries.
Winter weather hampered efforts to work with Harwich during FY 2015. The Commission will continue with
efforts to bring the Harwich GPR equipment and personnel to the island. The Town is continuing work on
the taking of the three lots on Sparks Avenue adjacent to Newtown Cemetery for future expansion and an
improved entrance to this historic cemetery.
The Commission’s Cemetery Improvement Plan made significant progress through visits to each of the
Town cemeteries and compiling an assessment and list of maintenance work needed for each cemetery
and a list of suggested longer-term improvements. The DPW Director/Cemetery Administrator reviewed the
lists and much of the immediate work has been completed. Special note was made of the improvements at
the Founders Burial Ground off Cliff Road and at Polpis Cemetery. Plans and priorities for the long-range
improvements were developed.
The Commission voted to go forward with our project to create a clearer identification for each cemetery by
replacing the painted wooden signs at cemetery entrances with local glacial erratics or boulders engraved
with each cemetery’s name. The Nantucket Conservation Foundation has generously donated seven
boulders for this project. (The Miacomet Burial Ground and the Historic Coloured Cemetery already have
boulders.) We will seek HDC approval.
Agendas, minutes, Cemetery Regulations and other documents appear on the Cemetery Commission page
of the Town’s website.

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 the
Commission’s objective. The Commission worked to accomplish the following goals in the fiscal year 2015:
Continued to work with the Town to improve access for disabled pedestrians on the sidewalks,
crosswalks, and intersections throughout downtown and the surrounding areas.
Page 97
Continuation of the Disabled Parking Permit Program for disabled, Nantucket residents.
Continue to communicate with Island businesses to raise accessibility awareness, and help them
to improve access in their buildings.
Work with the Building Department to ensure accessibility compliance of new and renovated
commercial structures.
Periodically provide information on services and products that may be helpful to the disabled,
Nantucket population.
Purchased portable ramps for disabled visitors to borrow while they are renting a Nantucket home.
Most rental homes are not wheelchair accessible and these eight-foot, ten-foot, and threshold
ramps allow disabled visitors to more easily access their Nantucket vacation home.
The Commission has set several priorities for fiscal year 2016. 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.
Create a directory of scenic areas where people can drive and park and enjoy the natural beauty of
Nantucket from their vehicle.

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 $30 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
Page 98
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 2015, the CPC reviewed, assessed and ranked 15 applications for CPA funding for fiscal year
2016. Funding for 15 projects, totaling $2,878,177 was approved by the citizens of Nantucket at the 2015
Annual Town meeting as follows:

By the time this report is printed, many of the above projects will be on their way to completion. Many more
projects beckon in the future to preserve our precious community.
The Community Preservation Act continues to offer a unique opportunity to fund community projects that
would probably never be realized or take several years and significant financial burdens to complete.

NANTUCKET CULTURAL COUNCIL
In November, 2014 the Nantucket Cultural Council Awarded $ 6,163 in grants to the following local
organizations:
Small Friends - for Music and Movement with Marjorie Trott - $100
Nantucket Film Festival - for Teen Vox program - $100
Walden Chamber Players - for ACK Music Residency Program - $500
Artist Association of Nantucket - for senior citizen art classes and exhibit - $500
The Theatre Workshop of Nantucket - for the 2015 season - $500
White Heron Theatre Company - for School to Theatre Program - $500
Linda Loring Nature Foundation - for the Nature Phenology Trail - $663
Nantucket Historical Association - for the NHA Diversity Festival - $400
Nantucket Dreamland Foundation - for Willy Wonka Kids - $700
Nantucket Community Music Center - for free senior lessons and CD collaboration - $500
Nantucket Arts Council - for the winter/spring concert series and Arts Festival - $500
Fat Rat Records - for the production of the 2015 Cultural Council Holiday Album - $700
Nantucket Atheneum – for One Book One Island - $500
This year’s goals include:
1. Programming - our goal for the year was to create free and or low cost and/or subsidized
programming in all disciplines to propagate the arts. This was done with a focus on exposing every
demographic and population and celebrating every season on the island to ensure arts and cultural
immersion for all.
2. Funding - we wanted to create a vehicle to raise additional funds as our funding is being cut at the
state level for 2015 and beyond. We decided to produce a holiday CD that would involve and
advance the cultural community, while raising funds for the council.
We were able to accomplish our goals by enabling thirteen different organizations to derive funding to
create programming with the goal of no cost for exposure for participants and attendee’s, by breaking down
the financial barriers associated with arts offerings to maximize exposure. Additionally our Chair, Jordana
Fleischut met with each organization to ensure support and guidance to where the funding was being
applied to ensure the most exposure possible for the community. The Cultural Council’s holiday CD will be
recorded this October at the Nantucket Community Music Center, utilizing the cultural community and be
out for sale in late November at island nonprofits and businesses. We look forward to this opportunity to
help raise additional funds to grow the arts and humanities on Nantucket.

FINANCE COMMITTEE
The primary responsibility of the Finance Committee, pursuant to the Town Charter, is to provide
recommendations to 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, the committee recommended an appropriation of $500,000 be deposited into a trust fund for the
purposes of continuing funding for Other Post-Employment Benefits for future financial planning purposes.
The committee advocates long-term financial planning in this area and this appropriation is a continued
movement 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, under the leadership of Brian E Turbitt, for their valuable
contributions throughout the budget development and town meeting preparation processes.
Page 102
The goal for presenting the fiscal year 2016 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 6.05%, driven
mostly by insurance cost, operational increases and salary increases. Personnel costs including salaries,
medical insurance, workers compensation, unemployment, laborers union pension, and retirement
comprise 72.13% of the General Fund operating budget. In FY 2016, salary expenses for the Town,
School, and Community School are projected to increase by 5.34%. The Solid Waste and Our Island Home
Enterprise Funds are projected to continue to require General Fund subsidies in FY 2016. 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 2015 with projected increases of 2.35%. The Our Island Home Enterprise Fund
subsidy from the General Fund is projected to increase by 1.21%, while the subsidy to the Airport
Enterprise Funds has been eliminated in FY 2015.
Municipal Operating Budget
The proposed Town of Nantucket municipal operating budget for FY 2016, including Enterprise Funds, is
$108,867,911. The FY 2016 municipal operating budget has increased $6,138,574 or 5.98% over FY 2015,
primarily due to increases in insurance and debt service costs. A notable increase is the $1,185,000
increase in the insurance category in the General Fund, predominately due to rising health insurance costs.
Debt service in the Wannacomet Water Fund is increasing $381,895, with salaries and operating costs
being the main increase drives in the Enterprise Fund budgets. The General Fund School FY 2016 budget
is $25,436,642, a $1,020,184 or a 4.18% increase over FY 2015.
This year’s municipal budget includes the following projections:
2.5% Increase in real estate and personal property tax revenue
1.26% Decrease in allowance for abatements during FY 2016
0.00% State Aid was budget at no change from the FY 2015 actual

The Finance Committee recommends a municipal operating budget for FY 2016 in the amount of
$108,867,911. The recommended budget represents a $6,138,574 which is an increase of 5.98% over the
FY 2015 operating budget ($102,729,337).
FY 2016 RECOMMENDED BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
General Fund Revenues in FY 2015 are expected to increase from $78,259,791 to $81,816,360, a 4.55% increase over
FY 2015. Currently, 84.7% of total projected General Fund revenues in FY 2016 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 2016 assessed property valuation of
$20,544,013,596. 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 remain level FY 2016 at $2,341,711. Due to FY 2016 being a
real estate and personal property revaluation year, we anticipate we will continue to see a request for
abatements, past experience has allowed us to decrease the amount anticipated in FY16 by 1.26%.
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
2016, personnel related expenses represent 72.13% of the total General Fund projected budget. There has
Page 104
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. Going forward the committee realizes that municipal
services do not operate in a vacuum and that additional personnel are necessary to continue to provide the
services of a world class destination.
Operating expenses are projected to increase by 4.50% in FY 2016 over FY 2015, 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 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 2.24%. 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 10.16% 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 2015, we are recommending $9,092,000 of spending, an 80.27% increase,
compared to $5,031,000 in FY 2014. Of the $9,092,000 capital appropriation, $2,725,669 is projected to
come from Free Cash, $3,953,000 from the Sale of Real Estate account, $350,000 from the Waterways
Improvement Fund, $253,331 is projected to come from re-appropriation of prior years completed capital
articles, $120,000 from the Hummock Pond Bike Path Gift Account, $1,000,000 authorized to be borrowed,
and $690,000 from the FY 2015 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 2016, the enterprise funds projecting an increase are the Airport, Solid
Waste and Wannacomet Water Company.
Operating expenses as a whole expenditures, including payroll and debt service are expected to increase
by $2,065,291 or 5.83% from FY 2015. The increase is attributed to debt service increasing in the
Wannacomet Water Enterprise Fund in the amount of $381,895, increased disposal costs for the Solid
Waste Fund in the amount of $397,773. The remainders of the increases are normal salary and operating
increases.

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 25.99%
of the total enterprise fund operating budget. Debt service in the enterprise funds is projected to be 14.03%
for the Airport, 80.73% for Siasconset Water, 57.35% for Sewer, and 70.67% 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 2016, we are recommending $20,120,000 of spending, a 184.22% increase,
compared to $7,074,000 in FY 2015. The majority of this increase is related to the Surfside Wastewater
Treatment Plan modifications, which total $8,800,000, as well as the new administration building planned
for the Wannacomet Water Company, in the amount of $3,500,000. Of the $20,120,000 capital
appropriation, $18,820,000 is projected to come from new borrowing, $ 550,217 is projected to come from
retained earnings in Sewer and Solid Waste, $49,783 is to be transferred from prior articles in the Sewer
Fund, and $700,000 from the FY 2016 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 2016 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 2016 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 2016 figures contained within the report are subject to change based upon technical
amendments presented at the 2015 Annual Town Meeting.

HARBOR AND SHELLFISH ADVISORY BOARD
Established in 1976 by an act of the Massachusetts Legislature, the Harbor and Shellfish Advisory Board
(SHAB) is a seven-member elected board whose mission is to make recommendations to the Nantucket
Board of Selectman of persons to be appointed to the position of Harbormaster and Shellfish Warden. The
Board shall recommend and advise the Selectmen concerning the duties and responsibilities of the
Harbormaster and Shellfish Warden and the Board shall have other duties and responsibilities as may be
necessary for the proper use and management of the water and shellfish of the Town of Nantucket.
Page 106
During FY 2015, SHAB, with the help of voters, succeeded with its recommendation to the Board of
Selectmen (BOS) for the hiring of a water quality specialist to refill the town biologist position. SHAB
appointed SHAB member Dr. Peter Boyce to assist with the hiring/applicant interview process. SHAB also
began its review of the Town’s Chapter 250 Harbors and Town Pier Regulations for possible revisions.
From this ongoing review came the recommendation to the Selectmen that transient dockage fees at the
end of the Town Pier for commercial fishing vessels be reset at an annual fee of $25/foot provided the fee
is paid by Jan. 30. At the April 22, 2015 BOS public hearing on this recommendation, the Selectmen
adopted the recommendation, amending it to include cap of $100 per foot for all commercial vessels using
the end of the Town Pier.
During the particularly cold and stormy winter of 2014/2015, SHAB, as a result of many commercial
scalloping days lost to inclement weather, adopted an internal policy to quickly expedite compensation.
SHAB unanimously agreed that after five days had been lost to bad weather that it would then discuss
possible remedies such as recommending that the BOS allow the taking of an extra bushel or bushels of
scallops or other such methods of making up for lost fishing days.
SHAB ended its pursuit of immunity from the state’s conflict of interest laws pertaining to members of
shellfish boards and informed the BOS that SHAB wished to remain an entirely elected board. It also
continued to support the eight commercial oyster operations in the harbors, the shellfish propagation of the
Natural Resources Department and the Town’s Shellfish Biologist, Tara Anne Riley, and Assistant Biologist
Leah Cabral’s oyster shell recycling program.
SHAB supported efforts to renovate the Brant Point marine lab and hatchery, the 2015 aerial eelgrass
mapping, and the Selectmen’s closing of Hussey Shoal to anchoring and mooring.
SHAB also recommended the funding of the Sealegs amphibious rescue boat for Nantucket Harbormaster
Sheila Lucey and aided the Natural Resources Department in its attempts to activate the Shellfish
Management Plan Implementation Committee.

ROADS AND RIGHT OF WAY COMMITTEE
The Roads and Right of Way Committee’s purpose 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 and 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. Public access is one of the greatest gifts the Town of
Nantucket can protect for our current and future citizens.
Page 107
FY 2015 began with discussion of how best to move forward the Committee’s First Way Improvement
project, and to begin by clearing and creating a path alongside the road. The purpose is to provide safe
passage for the many school children that use First Way to access the school campus, ball fields and skate
park. The Committee worked with the DPW, Town and school administration and the planning department
to move this project ahead.
Roadway takings of Boulevarde and portions of ways for the in-town bike route and other roadways were
also moved toward completion as well as a review of “yard sale” pieces to identify possible footpath
connections. Work is also continuing on our project to identify publically accessible portions of the
Nantucket Railroad bed leading to Surfside and to Sconset. The Committee also reviewed plans for
footpaths in Mill Hill Park with the Transportation Planner and the Town Engineer. Our Prospect Street
Sidewalk project was brought to the Capital Committee for funding and is moving closer to construction. We
are also working with the Transportation Planner and the Town on ways to safely connect the Surfside,
Hummock Pond and Madaket bike paths. This would address the safety problem that exists, as pedestrians
must walk in the roadway along Quaker Road past the Friends Burial Ground.
The Committee developed our Sidewalk Survey project and surveyed the condition of all the sidewalks in
Nantucket town. The survey covered sidewalks on both sides of streets by house number and rated them
on a five-point scale from dirt path along the roadway to broad, even brick sidewalk. We also rated
handicap accessibility, surface material, and special conditions and noted where parking on sidewalks is
allowed. This data was compiled into alphabetical listings by street, and by condition. Map data was
created and a plan for reconstructing sidewalks is being developed. Our findings, recommendations and
plan for improvement will be presented to the Selectmen and Town Administration in FY 2016.
Our committee worked with the DPW to create a new Town policy to deal with encroachments on public
ways including streets, sidewalks and other public property. The new Encroachment Policy was adopted
this year and will be implemented by the DPW including a public awareness and education component. The
new policy includes the implementation of recommendations from the Traffic Safety Committee and our
own Downtown Sidewalk Survey.
We continued to follow up on access, signage and maintenance of the Sconset Footpath and the taking of
ways to the beach along Hulbert Avenue. We will begin working with the DPW Director to update our
recommendations for the Potential Takings List and developing a long-range capital plan.
Minutes of our meetings, the Right of Way Improvement Plan, “A History of Roads and Ways . . .” and other
reports and information can be found on the Town’s website at http://www.nantucket-ma.gov/447/Roads-
and-Right-of-Way-Committee. Our meetings are open to the public and usually held on the third Tuesday of
each month at 2 Fairgrounds Road at 4:00 PM.

SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE
The Town of Nantucket Scholarship Fund is funded by many generous taxpayers who contribute to the
fund. Typically the fund receives between $7,000 and $12,000, 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 fourth 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.
