WINTER CARNIVAL & CHILI
TASTING
The
Durham Winter Carnival & Chili Tasting
held at the Mill Pond this past Saturday was
a great success. Although the ice wasnât
safe for skating, children and adults enjoyed
many activities including: snow shoeing,
winter arts & crafts, bowling, igloo
building, snow painting, and relay
races.
The
carnival provided an occasion to bring many
people from the community together in the
middle of a tough winter to enjoy our
resources while building a better sense of
community here in
Durham.
The
Recreation Department owes a thank you to the
library for the childrenâs table and
activities. Thank you to Professor Larry
Harris from UNH for the great presentation on
âWhat Lives under the
Iceâ.
We
would like to also thank the local
businesses of Three Chimneys Inn, Goss
International, La Paz Taqueria, Bagelry, and

event
possible.

you for the In-kind donations from the UNH
Recreation Department, UNH Dining Hall, UNH
Sea Grant Program, Durham Market Place,

you to the many residents who shared their
Chili recipes. Also a big thank you to our
Recreation Committee members Sara Badger

DURHAM UNAUDITED YEAR END FINANCIAL
REPORT
On
Monday evening, February 7, 2011, Durham
Business Manager Gail Jablonski provided the
Town Council with an unaudited year end
financial report for FY 2010 (1/1/10 â
12/31/10). After making adjustments to
our estimated revenue projections prior to
setting the tax rate the Town was able to
meet expense projections, however, not
without an increase in the Townâs portion of
the tax rate.
Revenue:
Revenue shortfall was primarily due to lower
than estimated motor vehicle permit fees, low
interest rates on earnings, decreased court
fines, decreased revenue from the University
of New Hampshire for students attending the
Oyster River School District, and reduction
in valuation assessments due to a number of
abatements, including a large settlement to
Goss International.
Staff
members were successful in recouping a large
amount of the shortfall through an increase
in revenues in building permits, fire
permits, transfer station permits, Planning
and Zoning Board fees, recycling revenues,
and sale of municipal
property.
Expenses:
The Townâs unaudited expenditures as of
December 31, 2010 show a total expenditure of
$10,400,497 or 99.8% of the total approved
budget.
There were several unanticipated expenses in
2010 which were funded with budgeted monies
including:
- The Code Enforcement
Office had two part-time employees for
assisting the Code Enforcement Officer in
plumbing and electrical inspections at the
numerous construction sites around town and
doing plan reviews, as well as assistance
regarding student rental housing issues
within and amongst residential
neighborhoods.
- The MIS Department
had a part-time employee to assist with the
upgrading of the Durham web site. The funds
for this individual were not budgeted;
however, this individual has aided us in
bringing this project closer to an
implementation date.
- The drainage and
vegetation account was overspent due to the
February storm which required extensive
vegetation clean up and removal. We applied
for FEMA funds and received a reimbursement
in the amount of $90,012.
- The electricity
costs for downtown lighting were higher than
anticipated which accounts for an over
expenditure in the Traffic Control line under
Public Works.
- There were several
large repairs required to keep the Townâs
refuse collection vehicle operating which
accounts for the over expenditure in the
Curbside Collection & Litter Removal line
under Sanitation.
- The legal services
line of $50,000 was over-expended due to the
start of cable contract negotiations, the
prosecution of property owners for zoning
violations, as well as numerous ZBA
appeals.
- The Townâs Sewer,
Parking, Capital, Depot Road, Churchill Rink,
and Library Funds all performed as expected
with nothing abnormal to report.
- The Water Fund had a
shortfall in revenue which will require using
some of the fund balance to offset the
expenditures. This shortfall is attributed to
the water conservation methods being put into
place in new homes and developments as well
as the conservation measures current
homeowners and businesses are
using.

COUNCIL
DISCUSSION REGARDING HOUSING
AUTHORITIES
At
the Town Council meeting on Monday, February
21st, the Council will receive a presentation
from former
Town Councilor Karl Van Asselt and hold a
discussion relative to housing authorities.
This topic was discussed during previous
Council meetings while Mr. Van Asselt was
still a member of the
Council.

SUNKEN BRICK CROSSWALKS
ALONG MAIN STREET BETWEEN PETTEE BROOK LAND
AND THE FIELD
HOUSE
Residents
may have experienced firsthand
the sunken brick crosswalks which seem
at times more like inverted speed bumps these
days, along Main Street between Pettee Brook
Lane and the Field
House.
The
bricks in the crosswalks in this location
will be reset this spring/summer at no cost
to Durham residents. The bricks to date have
not been reset before (although the pavement
around them has at the expense of the
contractor).
The
specifications were designed by the
consulting group SEA Engineers during the
improvements to Main Street approximately two
years ago. The bricks were placed to
specifications, which included installation
on compacted stone dust. This installation
allows storm water to filter through the
bricks and provide proper drainage along with
the ability to reset the bricks
periodically.
In
addition, real bricks eliminate the need for
constant maintenance for the Public Works
Department in the form of painting faux
brick imprinted pavement. This
installation also does not heave in winter
conditions and therefore is not problematic
for snow plows. Unfortunately this
installation is subject to some settlement
due to the heavy traffic
load.

DURHAM
WORKS TO POSITION ITSELF TO IMPLEMENT
MEANINGFUL ENERGY SOLUTIONS WITHIN MUNICIPAL
INFRASTRUCTURE - ENERGY SOLUTIONS RFQ
RESULTS
In
accordance with Town Council goals, the Town
is positioning itself be a leader within the
State of New Hampshire in utilizing
affordable and meaningful energy solutions to
achieve sustainability over the long-term. To
this end, the Durham Energy Committee and
Administrator Selig are interested in
exploring high- and low-tech solutions in
order to make buildings and municipal
infrastructure, new and old, more efficient
to potentially include any of the following
technologies/sources which may be
applicable:
-Biomass
-Geothermal
-Combined heat and power
-Hydrogen
-Hydropower
-Ocean
-Solar
-Wind
In
furtherance of this goal, the Town solicited
qualification-based proposals (RFQs) for a
firm or firms to assist the municipality in
providing assessment and consulting, system
design and development, financing and
procurement, installation, and maintenance of
potential energy efficiency systems, as well
energy procurement, for all aspects of its
municipal infrastructure utilizing best
available technologies to meet desired
outcomes.
RFQ
proposals were due no later than 4:00 pm on
February 4, 2011. Only one RFQ was
received. The submitter was Revolution
Energy, LLC, a recent UNH/State of New
Hampshire Green Launching Pad grant
recipient. Revolution Energy proposes to work
in conjunction with Green Power Management of
Newmarket and Shift Energy (which focuses
upon Southern Maine and New Hampshire) to
develop proactive strategies for Durham to
obtain its
goals.
The
Administrator and Energy Committee are now in
the process of reviewing the proposal.
If satisfactory, the Town will partner with
Revolution Energy to develop specific
proposals for action by the Town Council, as
appropriate. To view the Revolution
Energy RFQ, click HERE.

to New Hampshire, including a veritable
"who's who" of New Hampshire

Plow Guy Boogaloo," has a theme all NH and
Durham residents can relate to from last
month -- finding "a plow guy" -- but the
group got cameo appearances from Gov. John
Lynch, TV personality Fritz Wetherbee,
documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, longtime
weatherman Al Kaprelian, comedians Juston
McKinney and Sarah Silverman, actor Mike O'
Malley (who attended UNH), San Antonio Spurs

AFGHANISTAN
TO WAGON HILL
FARM
The
following email, which was forwarded to us by
a Durham resident,comes from a Major serving
in Afghanistan. He is relaying to his family
a story regarding the wagon at Wagon Hill
Farm. The picture above accompanied the
email correspondence.
"The other day while doing some work here in
Afghanistan I run into this LTC
and come to find out he went to UNH back in
the late 70's. The last time he
set foot in Durham was at his
graduation! Once he realizes that I'm
from
the area and also attended UNH, the first
question he asks me is "Is that
beautiful wagon still on the hill as you
leave town?"
Of all his memories, that was the most
lasting. So I brought him up to
speed on the purchase by the town to keep the
view and that now the hill is
used by many for sledding (to include my
boys). When I got back to the
office, I was able to find a picture online
for him and sent it him.
He of course loved it and printed it for his
TOC.
Today, he sends me the below email and the
attached picture! Thought you
might like to see it.
Have a great day...it has been snowing for 40
hours straight! :)
PS: Ironically, another one of our young LTs
(from Vermont) also went to UNH
for his undergraduate work. I hope to
get everyone together for a UNH photo
before we leave
country.
__________
MAJ D.
Was driving to chow at harvest falcon 2
one day and saw this so I took the
picture. Reminded me of the wagon on
the hill maybe 70 years
later."

POLICE
DEPARTMENT REAR DOOR
REPAIRED
The
Police Department moved to the Dover Road
location in 1997 having purchased the
facility from the Clipper Associates who had
utilized the building as an office
complex. Many residents donât realize
that the facility has 2,800 square feet
upstairs as well as downstairs for a total of
5,600 square feet. One of the positive
attributes of the building is that the
âdaylight basementâ allows for a distinctly
separate work area for evidence retention,
report writing, officerâs locker rooms as
well as prisoner processing.
While the upstairs can be busy with community
meetings, investigative functions and
administrative duties, there are no
distractions as the officers complete their
tasks.
With
a building that is operating 24 hours seven
days a week, the wear and tear on the
facility is profound compared to an âoffice
facilityâ where the work day is 8 hours five
days a week. So there was no surprise
that the wear and tear on the rear door of
the facility resulted in the door becoming
unhinged as the cinder block foundation began
to collapse inward due to the repeated
opening and closing. Thankfully, Adams
Point Contracting, a Durham company, was able
to immediately address the repairs working on
Sunday when there is less activity.
Their willingness to prioritize this door
that would not secure was gratefully
appreciated.

FROM âDURHAM, NEW HAMPSHIRE A HISTORY â
1900-1985â
âThe
Boston & Maine Railroad. By 1958,
because more people had cars and good
highways had been built, the number of
passengers and freight tonnage carried by
trains declined. The Boston & Maine
Railroad suffered severe financial losses and
decided to shut down its operations in
Durham. The university purchased the Durham
Station (once the Lynn, Massachusetts
station, which was moved to Durham in 1911),
and converted it into a dairy bar. Some
Durham residents, and all train enthusiasts,
long to hear 'All aboard!' ring out once
again." Published in 1985 by the Durham
Historic Association.
