1. Matt Angell & Frank Bryon, Auditors – Review of Fiscal Year 2009 Audit
Matt Angell, Manager with Melanson & Heath, explained a clear opinion was provided which means the audit found the Town to be in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP). The Management’s Discussion and Analysis report provides a financial statement overview. He discussed the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet explaining there is a General Fund Balance decrease of $553,000 over last year. There is $1.36 million being reserved for debt payment and $42,505 in obligations that has not been expended yet. He discussed the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances as well as the Statement of Revenues and Other Sources, and Expenditures and Other Uses – Budget and Actual explaining the Town budgeted for a loss of $780,000 within the General Fund. The Town did well within the operating budget. He discussed the Enterprise Funds explaining the Town used to have self-funded health insurance; this report shows the closing down of that fund. He suggested the Town needed to look at the sewer rates and how the funds were being spent. He explained there is an unfunded liability for health insurance. The Town has to calculate this liability of having retirees on the health insurance. This is a new accounting principal that has been addressed.
Matt Angell discussed the management letter explaining there was one comment this year which has been addressed. All departments had full access to the tax software where some departments should have inquiry access only; this has been addressed. In 2007 the Town had seven material weaknesses and several comments. This year there are no material weaknesses and only one comment, which has already been addressed. The Town has done a great job of maintaining internal controls over the past couple of years.
Councilor Kwaks asked about the Black Bear TIF deficit that was created as a result of the Martin property purchase. She noted the Black Bear TIF owes the general fund $415,210 for land purchases. The Black Bear TIF has a development program on how to spend funds. She felt the tax payers should have these owed funds put back in the general fund.
Matt Angell explained this would be like borrowing from one pocket to another. Revenues received over a period of time would exceed the expenditures paid as the loan is paid down.
Frank Bryon explained it would be important to see the wording on the vote to acquire the property. He asked if it was specifically worded as a loan to the TIF. He suggested this sounded like the public works facility where bonding authority was provided, but a bond was never taken out and instead general fund money was used. He explained some corrections can be made to the Fiscal Year 2010 statements to reflect this transaction. According to the schedule, the General Fund never fronted the funds for the acquisition of the two properties.
Matt Angell explained the General Fund is earning interest off the funds allocated to the TIF. In order to separate the accounts as discussed, $274,000 would need to be pulled from the General Fund for the TIF account.

2. Paul & Archie St. Hilaire, Bestway Disposal – Discussion: Move to Single Stream Recycling
Chairman LaBranche explained the Town Council had extended their contract with Bestway Disposal a year ago based on the discussion single stream recycling would be a part of the contracted services.
Paul St. Hilaire explained the recycling market crashed hard and went negative with the downfall in the economy. Over the past year markets are slowly coming back. He has kept the dual stream recycling because the charge to dispose of these materials is minimal. He felt confident Bestway Disposal could accommodate single stream recycling in the spring. He noted immediately after asking for the renewed contracts the market crashed. There would be no additional cost to the Town for implementing single stream recycling.
Vice-Chairman Bergeron felt the ease for residents with single stream recycling would further promote recycling.
Councilor Botterman suggested with residents recycling more the landfill costs should go down. He asked why this process couldn’t begin now; why the Town needed to wait until spring. His concern was the single stream recycling would not be implemented in the spring if the markets did not improve.
Administrator Wojnowski explained single stream recycling communities see an incremental increase in recycling.
Councilor Dickens asked how residents having a private trash removal service who recycle will affect the Town.
Administrator Wojnowski felt single stream recycling was the way to go; there would be more recycling and less trash being sent to the transfer station.
Paul St. Hilaire explained single stream recycling is included in the current contract. Bestway Disposal makes money on picking up the trash, not removal of the recyclables.
Councilor Dickens felt implementing this program on April 1st would be fine considering it would give the Town time to educate residents.
Paul St. Hilaire explained he could help with brochures.
Mike Hastings, General Manager with Bestway Disposal explained residents have the typical 18 gallon recycle bins. They could provide 30 gallon barrels with a sticker on it to further encourage recycling.
Councilor Kwaks asked how much one $2.25 bag cost to dispose of. She questioned the impact private carriers in town had because residents were not paying for the bags but the Town still pays to remove the recyclables. She questioned whether it cost tax payers more because of the private carrier services.
Paul St. Hilaire asked to be involved with educating the community in order to make a smoother transition. If there is a recycling committee, he would like to be able to participate.
Chairman LaBranche suggested tentatively scheduling implementation of single stream recycling for April 5th, which would be the first Monday Bestway would be picking up. There could be an informative session with the Administrator broadcast on Channel 13.
Paul St. Hilaire noted Bestway Disposal can offer single stream recycling to businesses for a fee.

3. Mike Provost – Newmarket Heritage Cultural Center Committee (NHCCC)
Mike Provost explained there has been a series of public meetings held by the Newmarket Community Development Corporation (NCDC) and the Town over the past several years to determine what kind of space the residents wanted to have. It was determined the community wanted perpetual access to the interior of the mill buildings. As part of the original RFP process 2,500 square feet of civic space was outlined as a requirement. The public determined this was not enough space. In 2007 the NCDC spoke to several community groups and drafted a vision for the Newmarket Heritage Cultural Center Committee (NHCCC). With a developer on board, the space has grown from 2,500 to 5,300 square feet and the group meetings have been reconstituted. Sheerr McCrystal Palson Architecture Inc. (SMP) was hired to help with ideas and fundraising. SMP is highly skilled and has produced spaces such as the Capitol Center for the Arts and the Audubon Society of New Hampshire. The NCDC is paying for the cost of this process. The NHCCC and NCDC would like a Town Council representative included in this process to relay information between the organizations. Tomorrow night is the next meeting. Meetings for the following month are set at each meeting. This will end with a public presentation of everything the NHCCC has done.
Councilor Kwaks asked about the financials and who would own the space once it is complete.
Mike Provost explained there are no firm figures yet. The NCDC and Town hold title to the area. The NCDC is a development corporation and not in the business of managing space. Discussions are just beginning and are open to the public. Meetings are posted on the Town calendar but are not posted officially.
Councilor Dickens expressed his interest in being the Town Council representative.
Mike Provost noted there were discussions at the Heritage Festival about having a State historic marker for the mills. There is usually a ten year wait on historical markers and can be a lengthy process. The State has final say on the wording of the markers. The Newmarket Business Association and NCDC have both agreed to fund the process and marker. Research for the marker is complete and the application has been filled out. He asked for Town Council support. The New Hampshire Department of Transportation will have final say on where the marker will go. He discussed possible locations.
The Town Council agreed to Chairman LaBranche writing a letter of support for the State historical marker at the mills.

4. Julie Glover – Update on Ash Swamp Road and Downtown Trees
Project Coordinator Julie Glover explained she attended a meeting December 21, 2009 with Bill Arcieri, Frank Underwood, Phil MacDonald and Public Works Director Rick Malasky about the drainage study. By the end of the meeting Bill Arcieri felt comfortable his questions and concerns had been addressed. The consensus of the meeting was if the Town moves forward with the improvements on Ash Swamp Road to mitigate flooding downstream more modeling would need to be done. This additional modeling and subsequent engineering that would need to be done would cost approximately $50,000. The consensus from the meeting was unless the Town was ready to make a commitment to move forward with an RFP for engineering and improvements no additional modeling needed to be done. The money spent on the drainage study to date is $$89,000. The warrant article allocated $135,000 which leaves approximately $45,000 that has not yet been spent.
Councilor Botterman suggested speaking with Public Works Director Rick Malasky because he had been the one to come to the Town Council about needing to make repairs.
Chairman LaBranche asked if there would be funding available during the second wave of federal funding.
Administrator Wojnowski noted federal funding would likely not be available because this project is not considered to be “shovel ready.”
Vice-Chairman Bergeron asked how it would be determined whether to move forward.
Councilor Botterman suggested the study should show what the impact would be during a flood if the repairs were made. The decision would be based on the report and whether the impacts would decrease enough to support the work.
Councilor Dickens noted during the floods there were people stranded; this could be a public safety issue.
Project Coordinator Julie Glover explained she is working with Attorney Richardson to craft a settlement agreement with Goldstar relative to the trees downtown. There are 19 trees the Tree Committee want removed. The desire is to sever any relationship with Goldstar is strong. There is no desire to even have Goldstar come and remove the trees. Since there is a contract with Goldstar, she felt the Town should pay for the trees that are remaining. She has calculated the cost of the trees remaining and the cost for DPW to remove the 19 trees and has determined the cost would be $2,953, which leaves $12,347 to replace the 19 trees to be removed. She recommended the Town Council authorize the Tree Committee to begin working with a local nursery/landscaper to develop a plan to get the remaining trees planted.
Vice-Chairman Bergeron agreed stating the original contract specified the quality of the trees expected; the Town did not get this quality.
Councilor Dickens asked if it would be worth it to remove all the trees and replace them all. He noted it is Council policy to require bids over $5,000. He suggested the bid could specify the trees and quality. Someone could oversee the planting.
Councilor Botterman noted Goldstar has not yet billed the Town for the trees. He suggested keeping track of all expenses and when they do bill the Town deduct the expenses from what their bill is.
Councilor Minutelli agreed with Attorney Richardson stating the Town should pay for what is kept. It is necessary to move forward with replacing the trees. He suggested taking the funds expected to pay for the trees and put it in escrow in anticipation of needing to make payment. He suggested not sending payment until there is a request. He noted he has not seen the contract and is unsure of what stipulations the contract spelled out.
Councilor Dickens suggested sending a certified letter to Goldstar instructing them to come remove the trees with a specific drop dead date.
Councilor Kwaks suggested providing Councilors with a copy of the contract so the Council can vote at the next meeting. She felt it was important to have trees to plant for the spring.

5. Michelle Daley – Request for Funds in FY2010-11 Budget for Lamprey River Sampling
Michelle Daley, Associate Director of the New Hampshire Water Resources Research Center explained she has been a resident of Newmarket for five years. She has been working with the University of New Hampshire for ten years. She made a PowerPoint presentation explaining the sampling addresses whether water quality in the Lamprey River is changing over time due to urbanization; whether stream water and groundwater chemistry is related to watershed features; and what controls the movement of nitrogen through the Lamprey River Watershed. She discussed sites that are tested weekly and sites that are tested monthly. Newmarket has two sites that are tested monthly. She discussed nitrogen impacts and causes as well as chloride impacts and causes. The total request covers the cost for testing the two sites in Newmarket monthly. The total cost is $1,760.
Administrator Wojnowski explained he has spoken with Water and Sewer Superintendent Sean Greig who feels the nitrogen piece especially is important because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will be determining what level they will allow being released from facilities very soon. He explained the requested funds could be built into the social service grants budget or water and sewer budget; there is also still time for Michelle Daley to do a petitioned warrant article.
The Town Council agreed to include this request in the budget. The benefits to the Town for having this information would be monumental.
Chairman LaBranche asked Administrator Wojnowski to prepare the paperwork and determine where within the budget these funds would come from. The Town Council will vote on this at their February 3, 2010 meeting.

6. Review of Proposals for Restructuring the Downtown TIF Excess Captured Assessed Value to be Returned to the Tax Rolls
Administrator Wojnowski explained there are two options in returning the excess captured assessed value in the Downtown TIF to reduce the tax rate. He explained the total captured assessed value of the Downtown TIF as provided to the Department of Revenue Administration (DRA) in 2009 equaled $35,712,200. The taxable revenue received with a tax rate of $21.87 equals $781,026. The requested appropriation for Fiscal Year 2011 is for the bond principal payment of $75,000 and interest payment of $43,913 for a total expenditure of $118,913. The Downtown TIF debt will expire in 2023. There are 13 payments remaining. The total outstanding principal is $975,000 and the total interest is $305,933. This equates to a total outstanding debt of $1,280,933. He discussed option 1 and option 2.
The Town Council agreed option 1 would be the best route.
Chairman LaBranche suggested the Town Council take a formal vote at the next meeting and discuss option 2 at a future workshop.

7. Report on RSA 40:13, V-a, Which Provides for Indicating the Vote Tally of the Council and Budget Committee Recommendations on Warrant Articles
Chairman LaBranche noted this is a new provision. He had no issues with moving forward on this. Wording would be added at the bottom of each Warrant Article stating: “The Town Council recommends (does not recommend) this article by a vote of 7 to 0.”
Administrator Wojnowski noted he would bring this to the business meeting for a vote.

8. Review and Discussion of Ordinance #96-06 Regulating the Licensure of Sidewalk Cafes
Administrator Wojnowski noted Public Works Director Rick Malasky had raised the concern some businesses have not taken the tables and chairs in for the winter. The recommendation is to provide an amendment that prohibits tables, chairs and benches being placed on the sidewalks from November 1st to April 1st.
Councilor Dickens felt this issue was addressed already in the ordinance under subsection f which states: “Sidewalk cafes shall not obstruct snow removal equipment or impede winter maintenance operations in any way.” He asked if this would prohibit special winter events.
Administrator Wojnowski did not feel it was unreasonable to ask for clear sidewalks during snow removal. If there is a special event, the business or organization would need to come to the Town Council for approval.
Councilor Kwaks asked if the ordinance can include keeping the sidewalks clear of cigarette butts.
Councilor Botterman suggested including the notice to maintain the property during the permitting process. If the property is not maintained, a fee can be charged.
Chairman LaBranche suggested once the Town Council takes a vote on this, any changes to the ordinance be brought forward to the businesses for informational purposes.

9. Town Council to Consider Nominations, Appointments, Elections and Resignations
a. Riverwalk Committee – Dana Glennon resignation
b. Riverwalk Committee – Mike Provost resignation
Chairman LaBranche thanked both Dana Glennon and Mike Provost for their time served.
Councilor Kwaks read Dana Glennon’s resignation letter into the record:
“I am very disheartened that things turned out the way they did this evening, and yes I do feel the very same frustration as Mike Provost. I think Councilor Kwaks stated the feelings of many people who saw tonight’s Council meeting, certain members of the Council cannot put their personal feelings aside and do what is right for the community as a whole. When I returned to my home this evening I had no less than four phone calls waiting for me from town residents stating how disappointed they were with Council vote this evening. All the calls had one common theme; the Council did not give one reason as to why they voted the way they did.
“So with the above mention, I also have no other choice but to regretfully submit my resignation to the citizens of Newmarket as the Chair of the Riverwalk Committee effective immediately. This should not come as a surprise to the Town Council or Town Administrator, as they were expecting this action to be taken. I have not ended my willingness to serve my community, but rather have decided to wait until another time when there is a new Town Council and new Town Administrator in place to offer my service to my community.
“In closing, I would like to thank all committee members who have served on the Riverwalk during my tenure, what an outstanding job you have done. For all those who are considering and for those who have resigned, you should do so with your head held high. A personal thank-you to Julie Glover, Diane Hardy and Rick Malasky, without each of you the job would have been much more difficult.
“I am requesting that each letter of resignation that is submitted to the Council be read into the minutes of the next Council meeting. As required by the Council all letters submitted must be signed.”
Councilor Kwaks read the letter submitted by Mike Provost into the record:
“Regretfully I am submitting my resignation as an alternate member of the Newmarket Riverwalk Committee, effective immediately. Personally, I have had and will always have a vision for the Newmarket waterfront that celebrates the heritage of the community with the residents and visitors. That interest will never go away. As a volunteer, I feel the current Council is not appreciative of the vision or the work that has been put forward by the committee, nor are they interested in any future vision of what the downtown and Riverwalk could be.
“I look forward to seeing the completion of the Arbor Park, as the Council has already decided how and when that will be done. Hopefully it will incorporate a vision of matching somewhat to what has already been completed. I thank the fellow committee members for their vision and work. It has been an honor to work with you all.”

Councilor Kwaks noted the next Budget Committee meeting is February 16th.
Chairman LaBranche noted the vote on the budget will be February 5th. The Council will meet next week; he hopes to vote on the budget in an effort to give the Budget Committee an extra week head start. He asked Councilors to be prepared to make changes if they were suggesting increasing or decreasing the budget.
Councilor Minutelli
Advisory Heritage Committee
Councilor Minutelli noted the next meeting is January 28th. There was no meeting in November or December.
Councilor Botterman
Planning Board
Councilor Botterman explained the Planning Board met last night and granted a waiver for site plan review for New England Footwear, which will be the first tenant in the mills. There was a presentation by the Lamprey River Advisory Committee asking for support to designate the Lamprey River as a designated river for protection. Val Shelton and the Conservation Commission had a lot of questions relative to private property owners’ rights.
Councilor Dickens
Energy Committee
Councilor Dickens explained the Energy Committee’s first meeting was tonight. Membership has been the biggest issue; one more member is still needed. One member travels out of state during the winter. The Committee is looking at what can be done right away while they work on long-term projects. The Committee would like to get information on the website on how to reduce energy use. They are looking at out-side-the-box alternatives. The Committee is meeting every second Wednesday at 5:30pm.
Chairman LaBranche noted there is an Energy Fair at the school on February 13th. He believed the Energy Committee would be allowed to set up a booth to gain public interest and participation.

11. Old/New Business
Councilor Kwaks referenced a letter regarding her concerns relative to Councilor Dickens voting for the ambulance.
Councilor Kwaks noted there is a section in the personnel policy that states the Town Administrator with Town Council approval can implement a merit increase in January of each year if there was an increase budgeted for that year. She questioned the 3% pay increase asking if the increase would exceed the maximum pay level for certain positions. She asked if the Council could review how merit increases are given and supported.
Chairman LaBranche noted it is difficult because it is a calendar year increase, not a fiscal year increase.
Vice-ChairmanBergeron asked if there has been any progress towards implementing the landfill kiosk.
Administrator Wojnowski explained electricity is still needed in that location. He had not gotten feedback from the Council that this was a high priority item.
Chairman LaBranche suggested putting this on the February business meeting for a vote.
Councilor Dickens noted as of the meeting where he participated in the vote about the purchase of a new ambulance, he was not officially on the department. He felt comfortable with voting on the decision but agreed he probably should not have voted. He noted his abstention from the vote would not have changed the outcome.
Councilor Botterman asked if the Council could get information on the revenues and impact on the tax rate the budget would create before having to vote on the budget.
Administrator Wojnowski noted Finance Director Don Parnell is making the final changes. The final draft will be to the Town Council by the end of the week so Councilors can review the document over the weekend. Tax Assessor Andy Blais has been on vacation and will be back tomorrow. He will be able to speak with him relative to the tax impact.
Councilor Kwaks asked if the new welfare position has started already. She asked if there were funds in the budget for this. She asked what type of representation and service Newmarket will get from someone working a full time job while trying to do this position as well. She asked for information on Tilton’s welfare as well as housing breakouts, rental structure, population and location to colleges.
Administrator Wojnowski explained the position has started already. He is confident the Town will see a savings as a result of this new position. By adding this position it streamlines the process significantly. The new welfare director can be reached via cell phone in an emergency and will dedicate one day per week in Newmarket.
Councilor Dickens asked if the current welfare director was happy with this decision of paying an outside person to handle this department. He felt as long as Newmarket received the service needed he was happy.
Councilor Botterman felt for the time Newmarket was paying this person she should be dedicated to Newmarket and not doing another job as well.
Administrator Wojnowski felt comfortable this person is more capable of handling the job. He has spoken at length with Sue Jordan. Sue Jordan is comfortable with this decision. The new welfare director will track her hours and submit them on a weekly basis. This person was brought to his attention by Sue Jordan. The new person has her own form she has developed which requires more information and provides less opportunity for information to be left out.

12. Town Administrator’s Report
Administrator Wojnowski explained there is a meeting scheduled for February 10th at 11:00am with John Brooks from Emery & Garrett to discuss the wells.
Administrator Wojnowski explained the Town Council needed to review and approve the holiday schedule. He explained if a holiday falls on a Friday employees receive a floating holiday to take another time during the year.
The Town Council agreed with the holiday schedule.
