SHOULD DURHAM BECOME A "SANCTUARY CITY”? - Many residents have made this request of the Town over the last two weeks. Some thoughts from Administrator Selig.
The Town of Durham and our police department conduct ourselves, without bias, without profiling, and with respect to all citizens.
We recognize and believe that it is the right of every individual to work and earn wages through gainful employment, to obtain and enjoy goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations in all places of public accommodation, and to obtain housing, without regard to age, race, color, national origin, religion, gender, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, military/veteran status, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristics protected under federal, state, or local laws.
Our community believes that the denial or deprivation of these basic human rights is detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Durham.
In support of its commitment to equal employment opportunities for its employees, the Town prohibits harassment on any basis discussed above. The Town also reasonably accommodates its employees' sincerely held religious beliefs and provides reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities.
All employees in the service of the municipality are expected to support the principles of diversity and equal opportunity in the workplace, and to set an example toward achieving the goal of equal opportunity for all.
We are a welcoming community, an open community, and we endeavor to ensure that the public’s business is conducted in public.
Over the last fourteen days, a large number of residents have reached out to our Town Council and to my office inquiring whether Durham will declare itself to be a "Sanctuary City.” The topic has therefore been placed on Monday evening’s Council agenda for initial discussion.
In my my view, Durham operates in nearly all respects in a manner in which supporters would want a "Sanctuary City" to operate. Yet by formally declaring ourselves to be one, in many ways we make ourselves into a target and politicize our ongoing and deeply held commitment to inclusivity. That seems counterproductive to me.
Durham, as the host to the University of New Hampshire, the State of New Hampshire’s flagship public university, takes pride in the fact that we are welcoming to all people. That's just who we are as a community.

Administrator Selig, City Manager Joyal, Senators Waters and Fuller Clark, and others have been invited to discuss the issue with NHDOT officials. Renee Plummer, a Portsmouth resident, has paid to have 1,000 bumper stickers produced to promote the relighting of the bridge. They are available to pick up at the Town Clerk’s office in Durham and in Dover.

DURHAM POLICE DEPARTMENT PREPARING FOR UPCOMING CALEA RE-ACCREDITATION REVIEW
The Durham Police Department is a nationally accredited police department through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). This designation means that not only must the department employ the most up to date policies and protocols within the police profession, but it must also demonstrate that it is in fact following these standards on a regular basis. To ensure this is the case, an independent review team from CALEA undertakes an accreditation review every three years. To prepare for this upcoming visit, the department conducted a mock accreditation review this week. Deputy Chief Rene Kelley reports that the department passed the mock review with flying colors.

TOWN CLERK'S OFFICE INDICATES MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS WILL BE INTERRUPTED FEB. 17-22, 2017 - Planned computer upgrades at DMV are the cause.
The NH Department of Safety, Division of Motor Vehicles is pleased to announce that a new computer system (VISION) will be implemented in the month of February. As a result, there will be an interruption of motor vehicle registration processing statewide.
Town/City Clerk’s offices, along with the DMV offices, will be unable to process new or renewal registrations over the President’s Day holiday weekend, beginning Friday, February 17, 2017, and will be resuming transactions on Wednesday, February 22, 2017. Throughout this process, the Town/City Clerk’s office may be open for other transactions not related to vehicle registrations during their normal, scheduled hours of operation. Please check with your local municipality for their specific hours during this time.
If you have a new registration, a temporary plate or your registration renewal is due during the month of February, please make sure you are aware of the processing interruption.
Please feel free to visit the DMV website at http://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/dmv/ for updates concerning this implementation.
What does this mean for Durham residents?
Simply stated, although the Town Clerk-Tax Collector’s Office will be open as usual, they will not be able to complete motor vehicle transactions beginning Friday, February 17th thru Tuesday, February 22nd. If you need to renew your registration in February, you may renew online or by mail and the Town Clerk's Office will process it when they are back on-line. If you would like to come in person, avoid Friday – Tuesday, February 17th – 21st. If you have a special circumstance, please call the Town Clerk’s Office (603-868-5577), as soon as possible, so that you can be advised on how to proceed.

The new trail sign at Oyster River Forest, with Land Stewardship Subcommittee members Ann Welsh and Malin Clyde, who worked with Ellen Snyder of Ibis Consulting and Otho Wells of the Conservation Commission on the new sign.
NEW TRAIL MAP FOR OYSTER RIVER FOREST
A new trail map was recently installed at the town’s Oyster River Forest kiosk. Ellen Snyder of Ibis Wildlife Consulting donated time and skills to design the map, working with the Conservation Commission and Land Stewardship Committee. Funds for the sign – and other improvements to trails in progress at the Oyster River Forest – were raised through donations to the Oyster River Trails fund by local donors and businesses. A new accessible trail surface to Spruce Hole Bog and a bridge over a tributary to the Oyster River were installed this past fall. Plans are in place to complete improvements this spring with new foot bridges, trail re-routings, natural benches, blazing, and trail signs. When complete, Durham will have over 3 miles of improved trails that connect Packer’s Falls Road and downtown through a connection to UNH’s College Woods trail system.

The New England Patriots are gearing up for Sunday’s Super Bowl game against the Atlanta Falcons. Go Pats!

WILDLIFE HABITAT PROJECT WILL CLOSE OYSTER RIVER FOREST TRAILS FOR ONE TO THREE WEEKS
Starting this week, the presence of logging trucks on the main access road of Oyster River Forest will mean trails will be closed to the public through early February. The Natural Resources Conservation Service has planned a wildlife habitat improvement project to create more shrubland habitat for New England cottontail rabbits, a key reason the land was protected in 2013. Many other wildlife species will also benefit from this management. The Conservation Commission and the Land Stewardship Committee worked with NRCS and the consulting forester (Charlie Moreno) to protect trails and sensitive areas during the harvest.

DURHAM POLICE RENOVATIONS/ADDITION PROPOSAL - Additional information for residents in a new video from DCAT.
The second video pertaining to the proposed renovations/addition to the existing police facility is now available. Kudos to Craig Stevens of DCAT who developed this 2nd of 3 videos available on "Video on Demand" at the Durham website. While the first 13 minute video focused upon the three critical and immediate needs that challenge the agency, this video offers insight to the working areas of the department that the public rarely sees. Future information will focus upon the following items:
- Breaking down the pricing cost centers for the $1,960,000 renovation/addition
- Highlighting the positive energy efficiency that the renovations will accomplish
- Define the useful 30-50 year life expediency of the project’s outcome
- Discuss the existing attractive interest rates that would be financed over a number of years.
If there are any residents who would care to see their police facility first-hand, please contact Chief Dave Kurz and he will be happy to arrange for a tour.
