Department
of Public Works crews have been doing road patching today in the downtown
area. Several locations have been delaminated by winter weather in which a
layer of pavement is peeled up from the under layer. These areas will
be cold planed (or grinded down) and re-patched. The sudden surge of mild
weather is allowing public works crews to give attention to these
projects. 

 

On Friday, March 12, 2010 at 2:00
PM, Durham Town Administrator Todd
Selig (center), Dover City Manager J. Michael Joyal (right),
and Newmarket Town Administrator Edward Wojnowski (left) held a joint press
conference at the Dover South End Fire Station on Durham Road in Dover to issue
a 2010 Census mail participation rate challenge. A Durham fire truck and Dover fire truck were squared off as part of
the press kick off.

 

Durham
Trails in Census
Challenge - Can It Be So?

10
Questions, 10 Minutes

The Town Managers from
Durham, Dover, and
Newmarket have
made a friendly wager that their respective communities will have the greatest
percentage of residents who mail in responses to the 2010 Census by an April 16
deadline.  After the results are tallied, the winning community will
receive a visit from the other two managers, who will grab a sponge and
bucket and scrub one of the winning community's fire trucks.

 

Unfortunately, as of Friday, April
2, 2010, Durham trails both Newmarket and Dover, not to
mention Strafford County, the State of New
Hampshire, and the entire U.S. average with participation rates
as follows:

 

Newmarket – 56% Return

Rockingham County – 56%

Dover – 55%
Return

Strafford County – 55%

State of New Hampshire –
55%

U.S. Participation Rate –
54%

Durham – 49%
Return

 

If residents have not already
completed and returned their Census forms, please take 10 minutes and do so at
your earliest convenience. 

About $85 million is saved for every one percent
increase in mail participation.  Data from the Census is used to
reapportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, for redistricting of
state and local governments, and to determine how more than $400 billion
annually in Federal funding is distributed.  

  

Census
Happenings on Campus - 10 Questions, 10 Minutes

Starting Monday, students who live
on campus are going to be given an envelope by their Resident Advisors addressed
to them from the U.S. Census Bureau. The majority of off-campus students have
already received theirs in the mail.  Historically, there has been
confusion among college students as to where they are supposed to be counted, at
home or at college. However, the Census Bureau states that students should be
counted where they live when they are at school - whether it be in an off-campus
apartment, a residential hall, fraternity or sorority - because that is the home
where they probably spend the majority of their time.  To view an article

FEMA
Declaration

This week the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) declared Strafford County eligible for funding in relation to
the February 25-26^th wind and rain storm event.  This means that
Durham is
eligible to be reimbursed for 75% of the cost of the upcoming brush collection,
road repairs, and other complications that may arise resulting from the
storm. 

 

Addressing
Recurring Flood-Related Concerns at
Longmarsh Road, Bennett Road, Route
108

It has become very clear that the
100-year storm events of yesteryear are no longer the 100-year storm events of
this week, two weeks ago, four weeks ago, last year, two years ago, etc. 
Allowing sections of Durham along Route 108/Newmarket Road,
Bennett
Road, and Cold Springs Road to become stranded for
days on end is simply not acceptable.  Consequently, Administrator Selig
has asked the Public Works Department to work with the N.H. Bureau of Emergency
Management, the Strafford Regional Planning Commission, the Town of Newmarket, and the N.H.
Department of Transportation (NHDOT) to develop a plan to address this all too
familiar situation.  We have already made contact with NHDOT to raise these
concerns.  Just as safety concerns at the intersection of Route 4 and
Morgan
Way has prompted us to take action, we will move
forward with planning for these other locations.

 

Spring
Cleanup

Spring Cleanup will be held on
Monday, May 3, 2010. All items should be out curbside no earlier than Saturday,
May 1^st and no later than 7:00 AM on Monday, May 3^rd.
There will be a flyer in the mail to all residents detailing the cleanup within
the next week.

 

Wind
Storm Brush and Woody Debris Collection

The Department of Public Works
finalized and mailed the bid request for tree companies to conduct a town-wide
residential curbside brush collection due to the wind storm on February
25^th. All sealed bids are due by 2:00 PM on Tuesday, April
6^th.  It is anticipated that collection will begin on April 12,
2010 and be completed by April 30, 2010. The bid opening is scheduled for
Tuesday, April 6, 2010 at 2:00 PM. 

 

Cedar
Point
Road Improvements Under
Development

The gravel section of Cedar Point Road has
been an issue of serious concern for residents who live along the roadway
for some time.  Poor drainage along the gravel section contributes to
runoff and tremendous pot holes making the roadway at times extremely hard to
navigate.  For many years the residents along the roadway have been patient
and have several times in the past expressed concern during the annual
budget process.  In 2009, the Town set aside approximately $20,000 as
part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP Program) to affect some
improvements but limited staffing and other priority projects precluded our
designing/undertaking the project in 2009.  Now that flooding is
(hopefully) behind us, the Public Works Department will be making this project a
priority for 2010. 

 

2010/2011
Town Council Goal Setting Process

The annual Council goal setting
process is  now under way.  At the March 15, 2010 Town Council
meeting, Councilors began the process of reviewing the goals list that was
adopted for 2009/10 considering whether or not to amend the current goals
list.  After some discussion, the Council decided to have each individual
Councilor provide suggested amendments they may have to be incorporated into the
document for further discussion.   On Monday evening, the Council will
be provided with an updated draft goals list with updated suggestions from
Councilors as of March 30, 2010. The Council will discuss major trends
identified through the process to date, areas for prioritization, and will then
work toward building consensus within the listing. As part of the process,
it will be important to consolidate major themes and initiatives such that the
goal statement remains manageable and useful for the community. 

 

Mast
Road Water/Sewer Extension - Bryant Park West Project

On Monday evening, April 5th, the
Town Council will be asked, upon recommendation of Administrator Selig, to
award the construction contract for the Mast Road Utility Extension Project to
American Excavating Corp. (AEC) of Derry, New
Hampshire.   The project includes extending
the water line on the south side of Mast Road from the entrance to New Hampshire
Public Television, approximately 1,200 feet west, and extending the sewer
approximately 1,800 feet west along the north side of Mast Road starting at the
interceptor on the east side of Old Concord Road.    Bids were opened
on February 22, 2010 and AEC was the low bidder with a total price of
$345,849. 

 

The Mast Road Utility Extension
Project is a collaboration between the Town of Durham, UNH, and Park Court Properties (PCP)
and will initially provide water and sewer services to the Bryant Park West
Apartments which are currently under construction.  Bryant Park West will
be a residential development with an innovative, environmentally-sensitive
“green” approach that includes 42 units in two (2) separate buildings with a
total full time occupancy of 128 residents. 

 

Although the development only
required a 6 inch diameter water main and a 8 inch diameter sewer to meet its
needs, the water main was upgraded to a 10 inch diameter pipe and the sewer was
upgraded to a 12-inch diameter pipe to provide additional capacity for future
development  farther west on Mast Road.  The additional capacity
provided by these upsized utilities will be a benefit to both the Town and
UNH.

 

In accordance with the Town of
Durham Sewer Ordinance (Chapter 106 of the Town Code) Park Court Properties is
responsible for all costs related to the sewer extension, but only to the extent
required to service the development.  Administrator Selig and Park Court
Properties worked out an agreement to include the upsizing of both the
water and sewer pipes in the project with the Town essentially contributing
in-kind services, and UNH agreeing to a financial compensation arrangement with
Park Court Properties.  It was agreed that the Town would manage and bid
out the construction of the project to compensate for its share of the pipe
upsizing, and Park Court Properties would reimburse the Town for the bidding,
construction costs, construction phase engineering, and construction
oversight.   Prior to signing the contract, Park Court Properties will
remit to the Town its share of the total project amount which will be held
by the Town and used solely for the project
costs. 

 

In accordance with
Section III of the Durham Sewer Ordinance (Chapter 106 of the Town Code) for all
sewer extensions, a public hearing was held on September 15, 2009 and public
comments were received from two
Mast Road property owners.  Both property owners
are interested in connecting to the new utilities and Public Works is working
with the owners to help coordinate their new services.  The sewer discharge
permit and extension information was reviewed by the Durham Water Wastewater
Stormwater Committee on September 24, 2009 at which time the Committee voted to
recommend approval of this permit application. The Town Council approved the
utility extension on October 4, 2009. 

 

The project was first bid in October
2009, but only 2 bids were received and both bids exceeded the budgeted amount.

 

 

Potential
Library Future Site - 49 Madbury
Road

The Board of Library Trustees and
Administrator Selig are presently evaluating the possibility of the Town
purchasing Dr. Arthur DiMambro's property at 49 Madbury Road as a possible future
library site.  This 2.9 acre parcel is assessed at $509,200 by the Town and
is located at the intersection of Madbury Road and Bagdad Road. 
It is accessible to both the Middle School and High School via sidewalks and is
quite proximate to Durham's downtown.  The Town engaged the
services of appraiser Gerald Loughman to prepare a professional appraisal of the
property to assist the community in evaluating the site.  On Monday
evening, Mr. Selig will provide the Council with a brief status
update regarding this site during the Council/Administrator Roundtable
section of the Town Council meeting. 

 

Students
Asked to Respect Durham
Community

community.  To view President Huddleston's letter, go to http://www.tnhonline.com/letters-huddleston-asks-students-for-respect-to-community-1.1282161.

 

Appropriate
Role of Town Councilors, Council Chair, Chair
Pro-Tem

On March 15, 2010 at 6:00 PM, prior
to the first Town Council meeting following the annual Town election, an
orientation was held with new Council members to discuss the responsibilities of
Council members, explain the annual budget and CIP process, and other general
functions of the Town Council. Although this orientation was given to new
Councilors, on April 5th there will be a discussion amongst the entire
Council to review and talk through the appropriate role of Council members,
the Council Chair, and Chair Pro Tem.  To view sections of the Town Charter
that address these topics, go to: http://ci.durham.nh.us/GOVERNMENT/charter/article3.html.

Update
from Rental Housing Commission

Since problems began to surface with
student rental housing properties in 1995, ultimately resulting in the
establishment of a Rental Housing Commission (RHC), the Town and the RHC have
periodically been faced with challenges associated with student rental
properties located within residential neighborhoods throughout the community.
This issue arose again in the fall of 2009.  Since that time, the
Commission has met regularly and has been working with Town departments, the
Durham Landlords Association (DLA), and affected residents to research
innovative strategies to address these challenges. On Monday evening, April
5th,  RHC Chair Paul Berton will provide Council members with an
update on the Commission’s progress to date relating to this matter. 
Initiatives under consideration include a new disorderly house ordinance, a
large gathering ordinance, and amending the existing noise ordinance to have it
go into effect at 10:00 p.m. rather than at 11:00 p.m.  The RHC has also
considered over the last several months the possibility of developing an annual
licensing program for single family, non-owner occupied rental properties
focusing on health and safety issues and whether it is possible to distinguish
between this classification of rental property versus all others in town to
include multi-units as well as singe family, owner-occupied
rentals.  The RHC will need to continue to evaluate how it desires to
proceed in this area.

 

Durham
Energy Efficiency Project

On Monday evening, the Town
Council will be asked to schedule a public hearing for the acceptance and
expenditure of an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant awarded to the
Town of Durham
for street lighting upgrades. The grant is sponsored by the New Hampshire Office of
Energy and Planning and is a component of the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009. The grant, valued at $167,310, will reimburse the Town 100% of the
cost of retrofitting all of the ornamental street lighting along the Main Street corridor
and intersecting roadways. The grant does
not require any kind of a match. The grant was only eligible for New
Hampshire Municipalities but offered the opportunity to partner with other
municipalities, private industries, and commercial properties to maximize the
overall energy savings. Because the Main Street lighting corridor runs through
the UNH campus it made sense to partner with the University to provide a
consistent lighting pattern so we did so.

 

The Office of Energy and Planning
had available $6,600,000 of funding from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation
Black Grant program and received 270 grant applications totaling over
$21,000,000. The grant will reimburse the Town 100% of the cost for replacing
the existing 175 watt, Metal Halide Lighting and accessories with a Light
Emitting Diodes (LED) retrofit kits within our current municipal street lighting
fixtures. The benefit of this energy grant will be the
following:

 

§        
Replacing inconsistent lighting patterns of multiple
colors

§        
Upgrade 234 less efficient street
lights

§        
Projected savings of 70.2 metric tons of
CO2

§        
Avoid future energy and lamp costs of
$239,089

§        
Estimated MMBTU savings
18,053

§        
Proposed Energy Savings 1,756,212 (kWh)

§        
Simple payback is 4.5
years

§        
Estimated 650 hours of jobs
created

§        
Lower operating fixture wattage from 175 to
38

§        
Increase longevity of lamp from 2.8 years to 12 – 15
years 

 

Public Works Director
Michael Lynch and the staff at the
Public Works Department are complimented for thinking outside of the box
and devoting the resources necessary to pursue this sustainability
initiative for the benefit of the Town and UNH today and into the
future.

 

New
Town Engineer

The Department Public Works is
pleased to announce that its new Assistant Town Engineer, April Provost, E.I.T,
started this past Monday. April is a 2006 graduate of UNH Civil Engineering.
She’s comes to the Town from Hoyle, Tanner, & Associates, where she focused
primarily on Transportation Engineering and Stormwater Design.  During her
first week April began working on the EPA stormwater permitting process for the
Durham Transfer Station/Recycling Center, and she helped document the impacts of
the recent storm events around town.  April is excited about helping DPW
and the Town Engineer with a variety of construction projects this summer in
addition to doing more in-house engineering design.

 

Be
Careful What You Flush!

This past week the Town was notified
by a resident who discover raw sewage flowing from a sewer manhole in a remote
area off Bagdad
Road. It turned out the sewer had been plugged by an
accumulation of heavy duty towelets that had been flushed down a toilet. The
Town’s Wastewater Division reminds residents to please never flush anything down
the toilet other than human waste and toilet paper.  In particular, never
flush absorbent synthetic cloths or heavy-duty paper towels, women’s feminine
toiletries, or household cooking oils and grease. These items do not break down
and cause sewage lines to plug, pumps to fail, and are costly to dispose of at
the Wastewater Treatment Plant once they are removed. The Wastewater Division
appreciates the cooperation of residents for their efforts in protecting the
Town’s wastewater collection system and the environment.

 

AUTOMOBILE
BREAK INS

The Durham Police Department has
received an unusually high number of reports about cars being broken in to in
residential areas this week during overnight hours.  Electronic gadgets are
being stolen from the cars.  In each case, the items taken were from cars
left unlocked in the owners' driveway.  Your best defense against this type
of theft is to lock your car and store your personal items in places where they
cannot be seen.  If your car has been broken into, please contact the
Durham Police Department at 868-2324 to make a report.  Even if the item
stolen from your car may seem inconsequential to you, it is important to the
Durham Police Department.  By making a report, the police department may be
able to develop a pattern and stop this outbreak.

 

New
Police Officer

Under normal
circumstances, the police department would have been exceedingly challenged to
fill the void left by the resignation of Officer Sean Dolliver on such short
notice.  Due to the recent hiring process and the identification of a
number of outstanding candidates, Chief Kurz is able to announce that Jonathan
Lavoie has accepted employment.  Jonathan has completed a demanding
selection process that included several written exams and exercises, physical
agility testing, medical examination, psychological examinations, polygraph, and
an extensive background investigation including a financial analysis. A thank
you is extended to Councilor Robin Mower and newly elected Councilor Jay Gooze
for their participation as representatives of the community at the oral board
segment of the selection process. Community insight and opinions are critical in
identifying the police officers who are best suited to serve the Durham
community.

 

Jonathan Lavoie grew up in
Haverhill, NH and graduated from the Woodsville area high
school. He attended UNH, graduating with a degree in Business in 2006. 
Jonathan has performed extensive volunteer activities both in Haverhill and while at UNH
and is currently the President of the McGregor Ambulance.  Mr. Lavoie was
recently named one of “40 under Forty” by the Union Leader and was recognized by
Governor Lynch as person who has gone above and beyond in his commitment to
volunteerism.  Jonathan will join Nick Glowacki and Pam Donley, Durham’s other new officers, as they begin their basic
police training at the New Hampshire
Police Academy on April 26^th, graduating July
30^th, and enter the field training portion for the next 8-12 weeks
where they will be introduced to Durham procedures, policies, practices, and
geography.  

 

 

New
Pick-up Truck for Parking Enforcement

A 2010 Ford
LXT 4X4 pick-up has arrived at the police department and will be routinely used
by the parking enforcement staff.  This vehicle replaces the 1997 Ford
Ranger, which has been passed on to the Department of Public Works where it will
be used for summer mowing tasks.  The police were able to obtain the truck
under a State of New
Hampshire bid for slightly less than $21,000.  The
4X4 feature enhances the capabilities of the department during adverse weather
conditions and will be retained for the next ten years by the police. 

 

From
the Supervisors of the Checklist 

On September
14, 2010, there will be a State Primary Election.  All registered voters
may vote at this election whether Republican, Democrat, or Undeclared, unlike in
some states.  However, if you are registered as a Republican or a Democrat,
you must vote within that party at the Primary.  If you are registered
Undeclared, you may choose which ballot you want at the Election.  June 1 is the LAST day you can change your party
affiliation before the Primary.  There are currently two checklists
available to check your status – one in the Durham Post Office on a table near
the mailboxes and one at the Town Hall (kept behind the desk).  An updated
checklist will be available in those same places on or about May 21. You may
change your party affiliation up through June 1 at the Durham Town Hall during regular business hours or
on the evening of June 1 between 7:00 and 7:30.  New voters may register
(and choose their party) any time up through September 7. New registrations will
also be accepted at the polls on Election Day, but no changes to party can be
made on that day.
