FIRE
DEPARTMENT PRESENTATION ON C-LOT
AS POSSIBLE FUTURE FIRE STATION LOCATION
FOR PLANNING
PURPOSES
Since August of last year staff at the
Fire Department have been studying the
possibility of locating the new fire station
at the UNH “C” Lot located on
Mill Road.
Items studied included a parking garage
for Town and UNH use and a residential
component located above the fire station.
Also studied was the location of the fire
station on Quad Way vs. Mill Road and the
pros and cons for emergency access and
parking garage visibility in each of the
scenarios.
A public charrette was held on March 2,
2011, during which time possible locations on
“C “ Lot for the fire station and
parking lot were discussed. The majority of
attendees felt a parking garage was too great
an expense and was not appropriate at this
location. UNH also had concerns regarding the
loss of parking.
The Fire Department has developed
a draft site plan for “C” Lot
which meets the emergency response needs of
the department as well as, we believe,
the parking needs of UNH. The site
plan, floor plans, conceptual building
design, and associated construction cost
estimate will be presented at the Council
Meeting on July 25.
At this juncture, the goal is to
establish a definitive future site of the
Fire Department. We believe, based upon
discussions and analysis to date, that
“C” Lot along Mill Rod is the
best option. Next steps will be to work with
UNH to secure the location for the
long-term.
For several years the Council has
included in its goal-setting process the need
to establish a definitive fire station site
for the Town and UNH. Several
locations have been evaluated over the last
two to three years, including 17 Madbury
Road, “B” Lot, and Stone Quarry
Drive. The Town proved unable to make
progress in working with the owner of 17
Madbury Road to acquire the site,
“B” Lot created parking
challenges for UNH, and Stone Quarry Drive
raised response time and roadway access
concerns as well as an outstanding question
of price to acquire the
land.

“HAPPY
HOUR” BILLBOARD ADVERTISING RESOLUTION
MOVES
FORWARD
Early this spring, upon learning of a
N.H. Senate Bill (SB 120) to be heard by the
Senate Commerce Committee that sought to
eliminate restrictions on “Happy
Hour” billboard advertising,
Administrator Selig, Police Chief Kurz, and
resident Peter Smith testified in Concord
before the Senate Commerce Committee against
passage of this bill as presented.
Because of the unique nature of the Durham
community, the Town worked with New Futures
to craft an alternate amendment for
consideration by the New Hampshire
Legislature that would ensure appropriate
local control and would afford the
legislative body within a city or town the
ability, after due consideration, to prohibit
exterior signs or signs in view of a public
way that contain a reference to “Happy
Hour” or otherwise promote the sale of
liquor or beverages at reduced prices.
The amendment also made clear that the
advertising of liquor or beverages shall not
be inconsistent with the spirit of public
health or safety and granted the Liquor
Commission the authority to suspend any
single advertising or promotion of liquor or
beverage at its discretion that is
inconsistent with the spirit of public health
or safety.
The Durham community remains diligent
in the prosecution of alcohol violations with
the realization that virtually every criminal
act faced by the Durham Police Department has
alcohol at its foundation. In 2010, for
example, the Durham Police Department
responded to over 24,000 calls for service
and on average makes approximately 1,000
arrests annually. Of these arrests, the vast
majority occur on Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday between the hours of
midnight and 3:00 AM and involve persons
between the ages of 18-22 years. Hence, the
promotion of the sale of alcoholic beverages
is a concern to us locally. While we
realize that students and visitors may be
aware of “Happy Hour” specials,
additional advertisement opportunities
advising of inexpensive alcohol are extremely
problematic for our community and for our
partners at the University of New Hampshire,
the N.H. Liquor Enforcement Department, and
on occasion the N.H. State Police for large
scale events.
The Senate passed an amended version of
SB 120 (not the version presented by the Town
of Durham) that allowed communities to opt
out and prohibit outside Happy Hour billboard
advertising but not inside Happy Hour
billboard advertising facing outward.
Following passage of this amended bill,
Administrator Selig, representatives from the
University System of New Hampshire, New
Futures, and others appeared before the House
Commerce Committee to oppose the amended
Senate Bill 120.
The House, taking the Town of
Durham’s request into consideration,
further amended and passed SB 120 to allow
communities to opt out and prohibit both
outside and inside facing outward Happy Hour
billboard advertising. Governor Lynch signed
the bill on July 5, 2011.
On Monday evening, July 25, 2011, the
Council will be asked to act upon a
resolution adopting the provisions of New
Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA)
179:31 XI-a allowing a city or town to
prohibit exterior signs or signs in view of
any public way promoting the sale of liquor
or beverages at reduce prices by an
on-premises licensee.

DURHAM SEEKS/RECEIVES $41,600
IN VARIOUS GRANT FUNDS TO SUPPORT POLICE
DEPARTMENT
OPERATIONS
In early April, as a result of notification
from NH Department of Safety, the police
department applied for and obtained three
grants in the following
areas:
- Driving While Under the Influence
(DWI) patrols - $8,500.00 (no
match).
- Speed Enforcement Patrols - $8,500.00
(no match).
- Mobile Data Terminals for each marked
police vehicle - $24,600.00 (50%
match).
The first two grants require no local
funding match and will ultimately focus
police resources upon the opening of the
University of New Hampshire in late
August. The third grant will off-set
funding already earmarked by the Council in
this year’s capital budget to install
mobile data terminals (MDT) in each of the
six marked police vehicles. All of
these funds originate from Federal funds
allocated to the State of New Hampshire as
part of their 2011 Strategy for Highway
Safety.

FY 2011 MID-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT -
DEALING WITH DOWNSHIFTED STATE COSTS
LOCALLY
REVENUE:
Durham’s revenues are showing 49.6%
collected as of July 1st. The first half tax
bills were due on July 1st and as of July
11th we had received 91% of the total
due. This is on par with historical
Durham collection rates and is significantly
higher than the 75% +/- collected at this
juncture in many other
communities.
Durham’s department revenue and
permit fees are on target. On Thursday
of this week, the Town received an initial
unbudgeted payment of $18,409 for a first
phase of building permits from
Capstone’s 619 +/- bed student housing
development on Technology Drive which is
anticipated to well exceed $100,000 in permit
fees by year
end.
It is anticipated Council will have
approved up to $375,000 in abatements by
December 31st, many of which dated back to
the 2008 revaluation and are multi-unit
student housing complexes, fraternities,
etc. Poor condition within these
properties has been a significant factor in
justifying the appropriateness of lowering
assessments. The Town had budgeted
for an estimated $125,000 which will require
an increase to the overlay line at tax
setting time by approximately
($250,000). An additional $250,000 will
be added to overlay which will increase the
Town’s portion of the tax rate by an
estimated 4.70% or $0.34 over the approved
budget’s projected tax rate of $7.23 to
$7.57.
In total, this would increase the
projected municipal portion of the tax rate
by a total of 6.3% over 2010 unless offset
through the use of Fund Balance reserves, new
revenue, or spending
reductions.
EXPENSES: The
Town’s expenditures as of March 31,
2011 show a total expenditure of $5,346,914
or 48.5% of the total approved
budget.
The Fiscal Year 2011 State Budget
included changes to the funding of the NH
Retirement System. These changes include the
elimination of the state contribution for
employees, police and firefighters. The NHRS
will be recertifying the rates based on the
reforms approved; however, until that is
completed municipalities are responsible for
paying both the employer and the previous
State portions. These are being called
“transitional” rates until such
time as the recertification has occurred.
NHRS has stated that it could take from one
to three months for the actuary to develop
new rates and for the newly constituted board
of trustees to recertify these rates. At this
time we are anticipating the total increase
to the Town’s contribution to the NHRS
for the remainder of 2011 to be approximately
$80,000 versus the $160,000 previously
reported based upon the latest information
available.
When the Town first became aware that the
State retirement costs may be passed down to
the municipalities we asked department heads
to limit spending and be prepared for
possible cut backs. Now that the State budget
has been approved we are taking more serious
action and looking at additional cost
reductions. A spending freeze has
been placed on non-essential items for all
departments. We have postponed the hiring of
a new police officer to take over the
position that was left unfilled upon the
retirement of Captain Sean Kelly. We will be
postponing the Capital Improvements Project
to evaluate the Main Street Railroad Bridge.
This project was budgeted for $34,500 in
operating funds in 2011. Other capital
projects will also be reevaluated and
possibly delayed until future
years.
The Town will aggressively work to make
up the difference. One of the changes
we will be considering is cutting
back the number of police officers working
overtime on Thursday through Saturday nights
during the fall when the University comes
into session. Fire Department shift staffing
and drop downs are also being evaluated as is
contracting out solid waste and recyclable
collection, implementing Pay as You Throw
(PAYT), as well as increasing
water/wastewater connection fees and parking
waiver site plan fees, etc.
What we are unable to make up for in
cost reductions (to offset downshifted state
retirement costs and to the extent necessary
abatements) we will be requesting Council
approval to use Fund Balance to mitigate tax
increases to no more than 4% for the Town
portion of the tax rate. The Fund Balance
Policy adopted by Town Council on May 3, 2010
recommends that the Town work towards
maintaining an undesignated Fund Balance of
at least 5% to 8% of the general fund’s
annual budget, including Town, School and
County appropriations. Fund Balance Uses
however state “For emergency purposes,
or other uses as deemed necessary, the
Council may appropriate undesignated Fund
Balances even if such use decreases the Fund
Balance below the designated
percentage.”
The Town’s current undesignated
Fund Balance is $970,801. The General
Fund’s annual budget for 2010 was
$24,241,802 which would require a 5% minimum
of $1,212,090. When the policy was adopted we
knew we were running below the desired
minimum, but were anticipating being able to
slowly increase this percentage.
Unfortunately, with the economic times,
downshifting from the state, and abatements,
this has not been possible.

COUNCIL TO
DISCUSS TIGHTENING UP TRASH
ORDINANCE
On May 2, 2011, Councilors Marple and
Lawson brought forward for Council discussion
the subject of proposing fine structure
changes to the trash violation process
currently used in the Zoning and Code
Enforcement Office. Councilors Marple
and Lawson proposed that changing the
enforcement would result in improved
compliance. Councilors Gooze and
Stanhope volunteered to work with
Administrator Selig on this
issue.
Councilors Gooze and Stanhope have met
with the Administrator to revise the current
trash violation process as well as to review
the Town’s Solid Waste ordinance for
possible needed changes and developing a
“courtesy” notification of solid
waste violation. Town Attorney Laura
Spector has reviewed and made suggestions for
amendments to the current Solid Waste
ordinance.

notice, a new “courtesy”
notification, and the Solid Waste ordinance
