DURHAM IS JOHNNY ON THE SPOT!  TOWN OBTAINS $418,000 GRANT FROM NHDES FOR WATER METER REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
The Town had applied for $417,612 some time ago to help fund our water meter replacement project which is included as part of the approved 2012 Capital Fund budget.  Unfortunately, the Town had not been awarded the grant at the time.  We believed the project worthy to pursue on its own merits, though, and proceeded with the planning needed to implement the project.

In late December, however, Administrator Selig received a call from the NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) indicating that the state had Federal money available and was working to ensure it was appropriately distributed to a local community providing the monies could be utilized as part of a shovel ready project. 

 

NHDES thought of Durham as the community has consistently been able to use such rapid turnaround funding in the past due to proactive infrastructure planning. 

 

NHDES did not know whether Durham was still interested in pursuing the water meter replacement project and, if so, whether we could in fact obtain approvals in the very near future to secure the funding. 

 

Mr. Selig informed the NHDES representative that Durham most certainly could utilize the funding on short order and with short notice and that we were geared up to move forward with all due haste to meet the state's timetable. 

Where the Council had already approved the 2012 budget, approvals were already in hand.  Under the project, the Town is eligible for principal forgiveness of a percentage (around $90,000) of the final disbursed amount as well as participation in the State Revolving Loan Program with an extremely competitive interest rate of 1.9%. 

 

New meters will enable the Town to collect meter information much more quickly and efficiently, saving on manpower, and allowing for quarterly and perhaps eventually monthly billing and tiered pricing should this be the will of the Council at some future date to encourage water conservation during drought conditions in concert with our sustainability aspirations. 

 

The matter is scheduled for Unanimous Consent action on Monday’s Council schedule.

 

Kudos are extended to Director Mike Lynch, Town Engineer David Cedarholm, and the entire Public Works Staff for their excellent work on this grant opportunity.

 

DPW was also responsible for Durham obtaining the most Federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grants in the State of New Hampshire.

 

NOTICE & CHANGE OF DATE FOR PUBLIC HEARING AND MEETING  OF THE STRAFFORD COUNTY DELEGATION ON THE STRAFFORD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PROPOSED 2012 BUDGET
Th
ursday, January 26, 2012, 7:00 P.M.
(Snow Date: Wednesday, February 1, 2012, 7:00 p.m.)
 
A Public Hearing and Meeting before the Strafford County Delegation will be held on Thursday, January 26, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. (previously scheduled for Wednesday, January 25, 2012) SNOW DATE: Wednesday, February 1, 2012 at 7:00 p.m., in Superior Courtroom I, Second Floor of the William A. Grimes Strafford County Justice and Administration Building, 259 County Farm Road, Dover, New Hampshire on the Strafford County Commissioners’ Proposed Operating Budget for 2012.

 

The Public Hearing is to receive public input on the Proposed Operating Budget. A Public Meeting will be held after the Public Hearing to hear any other business that may legally come before the Delegation at that time.

All communities within the County are required by law to raise whatever taxes are needed to support the County budget.  Members of the NH House and Senate from the County represent the County’s Legislative delegation which must ultimately approve the Commissioner’s proposed budget.  Taxes raised to support the Strafford County budget represent 9% of the Durham tax bill.

The proposed Strafford County budget recommended by the County Commissioners is $53,090,448 in operating expenditures and revenues of $25,642,512.  The proposed amount to be raised by taxes is $27,447,936, an increase of 2.418% over 2011. 

 

Warranting mention is the fact that the Town of Durham is presently working with Strafford County and other communities to explore the potential of centralizing prosecuting services within the County Attorney’s Office to potentially save Durham taxpayers money and increase efficiencies as part of the prosecution process. 
 
Information and directions may be obtained in advance of the meeting by contacting the Strafford County Commissioners office at (603)516-7100.

DURHAM PARTICIPATING AS PART OF NEWMARKET TOWN ADMINISTRATOR SEARCH PROCESS
Administrator Selig had helped the Town of Newmarket with our neighboring community's last Town Administrator recruitment several years ago and he has been asked to do so again this year. Mr. Selig will be sitting in as part of Newmarket’s review panel which kicks off Wednesday evening, January 25th. 

 

DURHAM RESIDENTS START NEW BUSINESS TO SERVE OYSTER RIVER AND UNH COMMUNITY -- PLAY!
Durham residents Kate and Frank Politano from Mill Pond Road (the purple house) have started a new business devoted to kids and families at the Lee Traffic Circle called PLAY!.  Their goal was to develop a fun and safe environment filled with indoor activities for kids and families.

 

PLAY! features three large bouncy houses, an indoor race track with real ride-on buggy cars energized by foot power, and climb on play structures.  PLAY! also has space for parents to sit and relax while their children are playing. 
Our 4 and 6 year old particularly like the dress up area and the bouncy house slides.

 

PLAY! offers a local alternative for Durham and Oyster River families seeking a fun, safe activity.

ANNUAL EVALUATION PROCESS FOR DURHAM ADMINISTRATOR
Pursuant to Section 17 of Administrator Selig’s Employment Agreement with the Town,: “Commencing in April of 2011, and each succeeding April thereafter, the Town Council and Selig shall mutually establish goals and objectives which they deem necessary and appropriate for the proper management of the Town during the succeeding twelve (12) months. . . . The Town Council shall provide Selig with a written summary of this Annual Performance Evaluation and shall provide Selig with an opportunity to discuss this evaluation with the Town Council. “

 

Over each of the last eleven years of Mr. Selig’s service, the Council has utilized varying approaches to fulfilling this contractual requirement.  In 2011 the Council utilized a one page evaluation form/matrix outlining key elements of importance and ranking the administrator’s performance (on a scale of 1 to 5) for each of these elements which included five categories: Ability to maintain or improve strong relationships, Financial oversight and Initiative, Leadership, Initiative, and Other.  Rankings included: 5=Excellent, 4=Very Good, 3=Good, 2=Acceptable, 1=Unacceptable.

 

Mr. Selig recommends using the same format for the 2011 evaluation process with the objective being to develop a consensus of the Council regarding the performance of the Administrator over the course of the previous year and to offer collective guidance (one voice to the extent possible) for the upcoming year. 

 

Only Mr. Selig’s annual performance evaluation is required to be completed in 2012 as the Council approved a resolution in 2011 (Resolution #2011-05) approving his employment agreement for a firm period of three years extending from 1/1/13 to 12/31/13 and establishing his base annual salary at $110,000.

 

The Council will discuss this matter Monday evening, January 23, 2012.

 

REPORT FROM OYSTER RIVER SUSTAINABILITY COALITION
In May this year an Oyster River Sustainability Coalition (ORSC) was formed for the purpose of facilitating a sustainability forum and to measure its work and align itself with five principles of sustainability in the areas of food, energy, transportation, school curriculum, and community outreach. Durham's representatives to the ORSC are Cristina Dolcino and Shelley Mitchell. Dr. John Carroll is its UNH representative.

 

At this time, the ORSC is preparing to implement its short-term action plan, which will carry the Coalition through June 2012, subject to the ongoing support of the school district, the school board, the governing bodies of the towns of Durham, Lee, and Madbury, the University of New Hampshire, and the Oyster River community.

 

At Monday night’s Council meeting, January 23, 2012, Cristina Dolcino and Shelley Mitchell will provide a presentation to Council members relative to the work accomplished by the ORSC to date and to answer any questions Councilors may have.

 

BUDGET COMMITTEE IDEA TO BE DISCUSSED BY TOWN COUNCIL
The Town Council has received a suggestion from resident Cathy Leach requesting that it consider the idea of forming a town budget advisory committee.  This item was placed on the Council’s agenda for January 9, 2012, for discussion and to determine if the Council had any desire to consider this concept further. A few Councilors expressed interest in talking further about the suggestion, but the late hour precluded that conversation from occurring on January 9th.  The Council plans to discuss Ms. Leach’s suggestion on January 23, 2012. 

 

DURHAM PROMOTIONAL FILM
The Town of Durham has produced a promotional film intended to articulate the myriad positive attributes of the Durham community.  Local realtors can utilize the film to promote Durham, homes and business for sale, and more.  It is available on the home page of Durham’s web site and can also be accessed directly at http://www.ci.durham.nh.us/COMMUNITY/PromoVideo.html

 

A LOOK AT THE DURHAM AND SEACOAST REAL ESTATE MARKET

Before painting the local real estate market with a broad, national brush stroke, it is helpful to take a closer look at our state and local real estate numbers.
 
New Hampshire Association of Realtors shows a 2% increase in statewide sales units yet the median sales price declined by 6%.  December of 2011 was an incredibly strong month, showing an 8% increase over 2010.  Strafford County shows a .5% decline in unit sales from 2010 and median sales prices are down 7.5%. This is relatively good news considering some markets in the United States continue to decline and are weighed down heavily by short sales and foreclosures. Foreclosure deeds recorded  in NH were down about 14% from 2010 to 3,495.
 
In 2011 Durham had 67 units sold, down about 10% from 2010, and the average selling price of $308,267 is down about 5% from 2010 . The average days on market is 102 days, a slight improvement from the previous year. To see all the inventory that sold last year visit this link: http://www.nnerenmls.com/nne/maildoc/sd_KTC27120120120085905.html

 

Buyers vs Sellers Market - The industry standard for evaluating inventory is "months supply", essentially how long it will take to sell every home that is part of the current inventory.  A balanced market has a 6 months supply of inventory, and currently there is an 11 months supply indicating we are still in a buyers market.  What's encouraging about this figure is that within the past 2 years the market inventory has been as high as 21 months.  The market is certainly trending in the right direction, but there's still have room for improvement.
 
Why is NH managing to hold its own in a challenging real estate market?  "As a whole NH offers several key economic advantages over other states in New England and the nation. We have the fourth lowest unemployment rate in the nation at 5.2 percent (compared to 8.7 percent for the country) and by far the highest index of economic activity in this region, and ours is a full 20 percent above the national index.  Our state also has the seventh-highest median household income ($61,000, compared to $50,000 nationwide in 2010), as well as the nation’s lowest crime rate and one of the nation’s lowest personal tax rates that leads to low average business costs."  For more information from local demographer, Peter Francese see his latest article: http://www2.realtoractioncenter.com/site/MessageViewer?em_id=106692.0

 

A thank you is extended to Durham resident and realtor Alyson Mueller for providing a periodic overview of Durham's real estate market to be included as part of the weekly "Friday Updates."

Durham Resident Asks For Your Online Vote in National Innovation Competition

John Gearheart, a Durham resident, is a junior at the George Washington University in Washington, DC.   His major is Biomedical Engineering, with a concentration in Optical Diagnostics and Waveform Analysis. 
 

Recently, John entered the Intel Innovator's competition on Facebook with his idea for the Ctrl+F Kitchen.  This project involves adding RFID chips to the items in your kitchen, installing RFID readers in all of the cabinets and shelves, and designing software that electronically locates anything in them. Among other uses, you would be told the exact location of any ingredient in your cabinets, be notified of expired items, maintain an automatic grocery list and when choosing a recipe, you would be notified if you had all the ingredients on hand!
 

John's idea was chosen by Intel as one of the 20 best ideas.  After a month-long voting phase, the top five ideas that generate the most online votes will be put before a panel.  The panel will decide on the winning project and award a prize of $100,000.  The deadline to vote is Sunday, January 22.
 

John would like to please ask for support from the Durham community in voting for his idea, the Ctrl+F Kitchen.  Here are the instructions on how to vote.  Go to: http://apps.facebook.com/intelinnovators/, then:

FROM “DURHAM, NEW HAMPSHIRE A HISTORY – 1900-1985”

Business (1960-1985): "A one-way traffic pattern channeling cars around Main Street by way of Pettee Brook Lane facilitated the use of office space, available across the brook in the Roselawn Apartments. Don Thompson's real estate office and Wilderness Trails, Inc., occupying part of Lawton Corner's building at the corner of Rosemary Lane, became increasingly accessible, as did the Durham Bike Shop, located in a last remnant of the old garage at the corner of Jenkins Court and Pettee Brook Lane."
