Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are needed for typical calculations, Pi’s infinite nature makes it a fun challenge to memorize, and to computationally calculate more and more digits.

DURHAM’S UNUSUAL FORM OF TOWN GOVERNMENT – Town Council/Town Manager

There are two basic forms of town government under New Hampshire law: (1) traditional, board of selectperson/town meeting form; and (2) town council/town manager form described in RSA Chapter 49-D. Each form has several variations.

The board of selectperson/town meeting is the traditional, "pure democracy" form of town government, where the voters themselves, acting at town meeting, are the legislative body of a community. Budgetary, legislative, and other questions are put before the voters in the form of warrant articles, the merits of which are debated, and then voted on at the meeting held on or around the 2nd Tuesday in March.

The selectboard acts as the governing body and carries out the decisions of the town meeting and manages the prudential affairs of the town over the course of the year including town property and municipal staff. The board of selectpersons sometimes create “administrative assistant" or “town administrator” positions, which have only those powers specifically delegated to them by the Selectboard, which can change from year to year as the selectboard changes. Madbury and Lee have an administrative assistant and town administrator, respectively, which fall into these categories.

Alternatively, a town at the annual town meeting may adopt the provisions of RSA 37, establishing a statutory town manager position. The town manager is selected with special reference to education, training, and experience to perform the duties of the office, and without reference to political belief. When a town manager position is created, the management of town property and the hiring and firing of municipal staff is transferred from the selectpersons to the town manager. The selectboard, therefore, assumes more of a policy focus with the town manager carrying out the day-to-day responsibilities of managing the municipality.

The town council/town manager is the second form of town government (with a few possible variations) allowing a town to adopt a charter establishing a representative body - the town council - which has powers similar to those of a city council. The charter must provide for the appointment of a town manager by the council, who shall have all the powers of town managers as set out in RSA Chapter 37 (however the Town Manager may be referred to by a similar name - in Durham it is the “administrator”). The council may have as many as 15 members (!), and must have an odd number unless the vote of the chair is reserved for breaking ties. Durham’s Town Council, approved in 1988 at Town Meeting and put into effect in 1989, has 9 members.

The adoption of a town council-town manager charter abolishes the traditional board of selectperson/town meeting form of government.

The town council functions as both the governing body and legislative body, as do city councils in cities. Where the town council is both the governing body and the legislative body, it generally has all the powers and duties of selectmen, city councils and boards of aldermen, and may address all matters that general law requires to be done at town meetings, all as provided by RSA 49-D:3, l(a).

Durham's town council may both make local laws (called ordinances) and adopt a budget without further action of the town. The "administrator" proposes an annual budget to the Town Council. Only bond questions on a single issue with proposed debt in excess of $1 million must be approved by referendum (i.e., the police station bond referendum last year).

The Town of Newmarket operates under a slight variation of the town council-town manager format. In Newmarket, the town council may adopt ordinances, but the budget still requires adoption by the community at a special annual budgetary town meeting.

The only other town in NH that operates exactly like Durham is Derry, NH. Durham and Derry are in essence towns that have the governmental structure of cities with a council/manager structure.

A reminder from Town Council Chair Kitty Marple that GLASS/CANS/PLASTICS recycling will be collected by DPW during the week of March 11th!

CHANGES TO CURBSIDE RECYCLING HAVE BEGUN! -- Curbside glass/plastics v. cardboard/paper collection to return to alternating weeks

Due to a significant change in the global marketing of recyclables, the Integrated Waste Management Committee (IWMAC) and Town Administration have decided to return to a dual recycling collection as we did prior to 2015. This decision was made with both environmental and fiscal responsibilities in mind. Recycling used to generate revenues to offset costs of operating, however the current market conditions have not only tonnage costs but escalating ones. A link to the recycling collection calendar is provided below, as well as in the DPW newsletter, to assist residents in knowing what to put out each week. Below is the definition of each category:

CO-MINGLED RECYCLABLES

FIBER RECYCLABLES

DPW does its best to find ways to bring in revenue to offset escalating costs. With the price of cardboard remaining stable in this uncertain recycling market, DPW encourages residents to bring cardboard to the Transfer Station when possible. Aluminum cans also do generate some revenue at this point. If residents are able to bring up cans and cardboard separately at the Transfer Station, this will help to offset costs. Thank you!

DURHAM REQUESTS REHEARING OF EVERSOURCE SEACOAST RELIABILITY PROJECT

The Town, the Conservation Law Foundation, and a group of Durham residents have asked state regulators to reconsider their decision to grant Eversource a certificate to build a 13-mile transmission line from Madbury to Portsmouth.

Called the Seacoast Reliability Project, the $84 million power line was unanimously approved by the Site Evaluation Committee on Dec. 10, 2018.

It is a reliability project, which means it has been deemed necessary to provide the Seacoast’s growing demand for electricity.

Durham argues Eversource failed to obtain governor and Executive Council approval to put the cable and 8,600 square feet of concrete mattresses in tidal waters crossing Little Bay and believes the SEC should reopen the case and revisit its approval of the project.

Durham also argues the SEC’s determination that Eversource’s failure to provide any information about concrete mattresses to the Public Utilities Commission to obtain a license to install cable in Little Bay is unlawful and unreasonable.

Durham also argues the SEC unreasonably concluded that the project will not have an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.

The Town of Newington opted to settle their disputes with Eversource and has not requested a rehearing of the project.

OYSTER RIVER MIDDLE SCHOOL'S JAY RICHARD IS NAMED NH PRINCIPAL OF THE YEAR

Richard, now in his 20th year at Oyster River Middle School, was recently named middle school Principal of the Year by the New Hampshire Association of School Principals.

Richard will be honored at the New Hampshire Association of School Principals Leadership Academy in June.

Nominated by their peers and from the public at large, Richard was selected for “outstanding building and educational leadership” by the NHASP.

Richard said recently in a newspaper article that he’s proud of the many learning opportunities his school provides.

MISCELLANEOUS UPDATES FROM ACROSS DEPARTMENTS AND THE TOWN

This week, Town Councilors Sally Tobias and Al Howland, EDC member Warren Daniels, former EDC Chair and former Town Councilors Ute Luxem, and Mr. Selig conducted interviews for the vacant part-time position of Economic Development Director. There will likely be another round of interviews for candidates involving staff and the Economic Development Committee itself in the coming weeks.

The lights are out again on the Scammell Bridge! About two weeks ago, one of the light posts blew over during windy weather. The cause was that the base had rotted out over time. This caused the owner of the bridge, the NH Department of Transportation, to immediately de-energize the lights engage an inspection of all of the light bases along the bridge. Our understanding is that the evaluation process is now ongoing.

This week, the Town Council expanded the scope of the $300,000 feasibility study relating to the future of the Mill Pond Dam to include four aspects: Removal, Dam Repair, Dam Reconstruction, and Dam Reclassification/Waiver. The feasibility study process will take from now through next spring and will involve public outreach along the way. The hope is the feasibility will study the wide range of issues concerning which the Town Council has received input over the last several months allowing for objective community discussion and understanding in the months to come. Do not expect any final decision on the Mill Pond Dam in the near term. 

Due to weather concerns, we have had to postpone the hookup of the Town Hall emergency generator until this coming weekend.

The IT Department will be working on replacing the computers at the Police Department next week as well moving computers there from Windows 10 to Office 365 in a cloud based format.

In the Assessing Department, Jim Rice is processing property tax abatement applications received as of the statutory deadline. We have received about 50 applications. 

The property 395 Bay Road sold this past week for one of the highest residential sales in Durham in recent memory at the price of $2,445,000.

The Durham Fire Department is looking a little bit at the idea of professional accreditation, such as that in place at the Police Department.

While we have not had a great deal of snow this winter, we have had a good deal of ice, and this has caused Public Works to expend its Snow & Ice Control Budget. Director Mike Lynch is monitoring carefully.

The Town Clerk’s Office, the Supervisors of the Checklist, and Moderator Chris Regan are gearing up for Tuesday’s election.

Part-time code officer Scott Adkins has been undertaking outreach concerning the new recycling schedule on an as needed basis.

We expect the foundation for the new building at Emery Farm will be poured this coming week.

DURHAM RESIDENTS WEIGH $2.7 MILLION DOVER ROAD FORCE MAIN PROJECT ON TUESDAY AT POLLS

Durham residents will consider allocating almost $2.7 million next week to replace an aging sewer line running under the Oyster River.

Although the existing line continues to serve the town’s sewer users and University of New Hampshire, it is more than 50 years old. Its location and steady use makes inspections or major repairs nearly impossible.

The line is old and it represents a potential single point of failure for the entire system.

The proposal, which requires support from two-thirds of ballots cast on Tuesday, is the only question on the Durham town ballot.

Durham sewer customers would bear the cost of the $2.68 million project in the form of higher rates. Actual increases will vary depending on usage, but Selig estimates the average residential property will pay $10 to $15 more during each quarterly billing cycle.

Because the line serves both UNH and Durham, our Town/Gown agreements provide that the University will support 2/3 of the cost of the project with Durham sewer users covering the remaining 1/3.

RESIDENTS ASKED TO ASSIST THEIR LETTER CARRIERS BY CLEARING SNOW FROM AROUND THEIR MAILBOXES AND PROVIDE SALT AND/OR SAND TO AREAS THAT MAY BE SLIPPERY WITH ICE

Residents are asked to:

  • Clear enough snow from curbside boxes to allow mail trucks to approach the box, deliver the mail, and to drive away from the box without danger or the need for backing;
  • Clear walkways of snow and ice and allow enough traction to avoid slips, trips or falls;
  • Keep steps clear of ice and snow and in good repair so as not to cause injury to the letter carriers or others who visit the customer’s home; and
  • Make sure overhangs are clear and free of snow and ice to avoid injury.

Whether mail arrives on foot or by postal vehicle, the letter carrier needs access to the mailbox to deposit your mail. Please make sure the mailbox itself is visible and free of snow and ice, and make sure it is safely accessible for your letter carrier.

Letter carriers are instructed to hold mail to addresses where ice and snow are not cleared but they often risk injury trying to provide the best service they can to the customers they serve. Please show them your appreciation by ensuring they are safe when delivering your mail.

 

PLEASE KEEP SNOW CLEAR FROM FIRE HYDRANTS

Since Old Man Winter isn't quite finished with us yet, residents are asked to please remember to shovel out nearby fire hydrants. Snow and ice shouldbe kept 3 feet away from hydrants. The home you save could be your own.

 

PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING - Wednesday, March 13, 2019

The Planning Board is holding a public hearing this Wednesday, March 13, on a request from Eversource to remove 17 trees and trim others along Packers Falls Road. 

View the various documents related to the application HERE.

You can also read here the Planning Board’s policy for cutting trees on scenic roads. This detailed policy was written by the Town staff in coordination with an Eversource arborist and our own John Parry, a local arborist who has generously assisted Town boards with numerous projects over the years.

YOUR SWAP SHOP AT THE DURHAM TRANSFER STATION AND RECYCLING CENTER

The Durham Swap Shop is a wonderful example of how residents express their commitment to recycling. Whether you’re new to town or a long term ‘shopper’, we recommend that you come on over and see what’s new. The Swap Shop is at the Durham Transfer Station at 100 Durham Point Road. The Swap Shop hours are 9:00 am to 2:30 pm every Tuesday and Saturday.

Drop off of good-condition items is free and take-away is also free. Lots of reusables are saved from the landfill in the process. The Swap Shop continues to seek volunteers who can donate 3 hours occasionally to help with organizing and displaying items. It’s fun work in a friendly atmosphere and volunteers feel good about facilitating re-use. Please contact Cristina mailto:foggdrive@yahoo.com (or via 868-5578) to sign up for a morning or afternoon slot. Online sign up is an option HERE. New volunteers should contact Cristina for first-time shadowing to learn the process. It would be effective and tremendously helpful to have as many as 100 volunteers who might be scheduled to chip in over the course of any two month period. That is why we continue to ask people to sign up. “Many hands”… Much appreciation goes out to our continuing volunteers who help to keep this valued community service going!

Until the threat of snow is gone, the drop off of bulky items like furniture and doors/windows is prohibited. Please note that bulky waste coupons and electronic/appliance stickers must be purchased at the Transfer Station or at the Public Works Office for any such items to be dropped off. Only checks are accepted as payment. Details may be found in the Public Works Annual Newsletter available HERE.

 

OYSTER RIVER SCHOOL DISTRICT VOTERS TO CONSIDER $46 MILLION BUDGET ON TUESDAY AT POLLS

Voters in the Oyster River Cooperative School District will vote Tuesday on the proposed $45.9 million budget plan for the upcoming academic year.

The budget represents a 3.49-percent increase over the current spending plan. Major cost drivers include raises for teachers and staff, two new positions, $800,000 toward pre-construction of a new middle school, and $755,000 for Moharimet School safety upgrades.

The property tax impact from the budget will vary for Lee, Durham and Madbury.

Superintendent James Morse describes the budget as “very conservative” given the one-time costs from the middle school and Moharimet work. Both would be paid for without borrowing.

View more about the proposed school budget in this week's Foster's Daily Democrat HERE.

EPA/NHDES HOST MEETING AT PEASE RE: NEW APPROACH TO ADDRESSING NITROGEN IN GREAT BAY

Over the last several months, representatives from the EPA, NHDES, and the Governor’s Office have apparently been meeting with Dover, Rochester, and Portsmouth to discuss the health of the Great Bay Estuary and current environmental regulations, upon which the three mentioned municipalities are reported to have expended over $6 million to date expressing concern regarding environmental compliance.

Earlier today, Town Engineer April Talon, Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent Dan Peterson, Matt O’Keefe from UNH Energy/Facilities, and Mr. Selig attended a meeting at the NH Department of Environmental Services offices at Pease with representatives from EPA, NHDES, Conservation Law Foundation, Newmarket, Newington, Exeter, and Rollinsford to discuss a new adaptive management approach to addressing the failing health of the Great Bay Estuary that the regulators have devised with the support of Governor Sununu and EPA Headquarters, and in particular strategies to eliminate Nitrogen, which is a primary cause of eel grass decline in the estuary. In short, the EPA and NHDES are looking at a new watershed-wide approach to addressing the issue. They hope to establish annual load effluent limits based on scientific literature concerning the effects of total nitrogen loading on estuaries. They want to hold load reductions already achieved or already in process and plan/implement practices that will reduce Nitrogen loading from non-point source inputs going forward. They then hope to quantify and track point sources and non-point source loads via effluent monitoring and Nitrogen tracking. 

The end result appears to be a new approach where sewered communities like Durham will receive three permits: a specific permit for the wastewater plant, a general permit dealing with Nitrogen across the municipality, and an MS-4 permit. More information to come as we learn more.

 

SWAP SHOP VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED -- WHY NOT?

The Swap Shop at the Durham Transfer Center has been busy this winter despite the cold weather! Many boxes of items have been dropped off and then taken to “new” homes which is exactly what the Swap Shop is all about!  Save some money and keep useful items out of the landfill! 

With spring teasing us a little with warmer temperatures, why not consider volunteering?  You not only get to meet other people in town, but you also have a chance to find things you never thought you needed!  And things you are really looking for! What other volunteering endeavor is as much fun or helpful?

So, even if you are only a little curious please send an email to find out more. The shifts are only 3 hours and you and signing up is easy. You can volunteer as little or as much as you would like. Thank you and let’s all help keep the Swap Shop open and vibrant!

Please mailto:foggdrive@yahoo.com or talk to the volunteer the next time you “shop!”

TALKING TRASH – Property owners are asked to pick up trash/debris around properties as the snow melts.

As the snow melts and spring approaches, the accumulated under–snow debris becomes visible and will be cited as a trash violation if not removed forthwith. We suggest that each property have a responsible person reviewing the snow coverage/snow melt daily, and remove all debris that becomes uncovered.

As a review, please see Durham’s trash citation process below.

Durham has a trash citation process for litter on private property. It is a graduated fine that starts with a Courtesy Notification, then fines of $150, $300, and $1000 for each subsequent period an offense has been found to continue. Each property will receive one Courtesy Notification per academic year. Many properties have already received their one courtesy notification for this academic year. The next offense will be issued a Notice of Violation and a fine of $150 payable to the Town of Durham, submitted to the Building Office. A re-inspection date/time will be written on the citation; if the re-inspection shows that the trash issue is on-going a second Notice of Violation will be issued with a fine of $300. A final Notice of Violation and fine of $1000 will be issued for each subsequent failed re-inspection.

Trash citations are written for situations such as:

  • Overflowing dumpsters.
  • Trash containers put out for pick-up, which are overflowing/spilt/torn with trash/recyclables spread about.
  • Trash containers that are put out more than 24 hours in advance or more than 124 hours after scheduled pick-up.
  • Unsightly debris in yards, lawns, and along the street frontage, such as an abundance of cans, bottles and cups.
  • Bulky items left outside that are not designed as outdoor furniture (such as mattresses and couches).
  • Generally it is expected that any of the situations above will be addressed by the tenants or property managers before 9am each morning, including weekend mornings.

Questions should be directed to Code Enforcement Officer Audrey Cline mailto:acline@ci.durham.nh.us.
