Legal Notice TOWN OF DURHAM 8 Newmarket Road Durham, NH 03824-2898 Tel: (603) 868-5571 Fax: (603) 868-1858 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PROPOSED TOWN CHARTER AMENDMENT TO BE PLACED ON MARCH 10, 2020 TOWN ELECTION BALLOT The Durham Town Council will conduct a public hearing at its regular meeting on Monday, December 2, 2019, at 7:00 PM in the Council Chambers at the Durham Town Hall, 8 Newmarket Road, relative to various proposed amendments to the Durham Town Charter for placement on the March 10, 2020 Town Election ballot. The proposed amendments are outlined below. All interested citizens are invited to attend the public hearing and express their views. Questions concerning the proposed Charter amendments should be directed to Administrator Todd Selig at 603-868-5571, tselig@ci.durham.nh.us. Written comments may be mailed to the Administrator’s office at 8 Newmarket Road, Durham, NH 03824 or sent by electronic mail to jberry@ci.durham.nh.us. _______________________________ PM-00463819 Strikethrough: Indicates language to be removed from the Charter. Underline: Indicates language to be added to the Charter. ARTICLE 2 “ELECTIONS: ELECTION OFFICIALS; CONDUCT OF ELECTIONS” – SECTION 2.1 Sec. 2.1. Composition of Board of Election Officers. The Supervisors of the Checklist, the Moderator, and the Town Clerk, the Town Council, and the Town Administrator shall constitute the Board of Election Officers. The Moderator shall be Chairman. The Town Clerk shall serve as the Clerk of the Board. Reason for proposed change: In addition to the Supervisors, Moderator, and Town Clerk, the members of the Town Council and Town Administrator have historically also served as election officials during elections consistent with RSA 652:14 and Section 4.5(B) of the Town Charter. This amendment will serve to memorialize that practice. ________________________________________ ARTICLE 2 “ELECTIONS: ELECTION OFFICIALS; CONDUCT OF ELECTIONS” – SECTION 2.5 (A) Sec. 2.5. Conduct of elections. A. The election of officers, whose duty it is to conduct regular elections, shall use a nonpartisan official ballot system as detailed in the election laws of the State of New Hampshire, on the second Tuesday in March, to choose three (3) Councilors and such other officials as are specified in this Charter, each of whom shall be elected by the voters of the entire town. Reason for proposed change: To correct a typographical error. ________________________________________ ARTICLE 2 “ELECTIONS: ELECTION OFFICIALS; CONDUCT OF ELECTIONS” – SECTION 2.6 Sec. 2.6. Preparation of ballots. The Town Clerk shall prepare separate ballots to be used at all local referenda and at elections at which town officers are chosen. The ballots shall contain in appropriate sections the names of all candidates, listed in alphabetical order, without party designation. The Town Clerk, under the supervision of the Town Moderator, will draw candidates’ names out of a hat and list them on the ballot in the order by which they are drawn. Below the list of names of the candidates of each office, there shall be as many blank spaces as there are offices to be filled at the election. No titles, military, professional, or otherwise, shall accompany the name of any candidate on the ballot. Reason/ for proposed change: In 2006, Town Moderator Christopher Regan addressed a letter to Council Chair Neil Niman which raised the question of whether Article 2, Section 2.6 of the Durham Town Charter was constitutional based upon a recent decision by the New Hampshire Supreme Court in Aikens v. Secretary of State. Upon seeking the advice of the Town’s attorney, Walter Mitchell, Administrator Selig and the Town Moderator ultimately agreed that the best method for listing candidates on town election ballots would be to draw all of the candidates’ names out of a hat and list them in the order by which they are drawn, and that this process would be accomplished by the Town Clerk under the observation of the Town Moderator. On January 8, 2007, the Town Council adopted Resolution #2007- 01 discontinuing the practice of listing candidates on town election ballots in alphabetical order and instituting the method of listing candidates on town election ballots by drawing candidates’ names out of a hat and listing them in the order by which they are drawn. ________________________________________ ARTICLE 3 “TOWN COUNCIL” – SECTION 3.11 Sec. 3.11. Codification of ordinances. The Town Council, as needed, not later than eighteen (18) months after taking office under this Charter and at least every tenth year thereafter, shall have prepared a revision or codification of the ordinances of the town which are appropriate for continuation as local laws of the town. Reason for proposed change: The language to be stricken referred to the initial codification of all Town ordinances. Codification was completed and adopted by the Town Council on March 1, 1999. Updates to ordinances contained within the Town Code are now done on an annual basis. ________________________________________ ARTICLE 3 “TOWN COUNCIL” – SECTION 3.15 Sec. 3.15.

Upon or after passage of a resolution of intent to remove, the Council may suspend the Administrator from duty, but his pay shall continue until removal. In case of such suspension, the Council shall, by the affirmative vote of the Council, appoint an Acting Administrator to serve at the pleasure of the Council for not more than ninety (90) days. The action of the Council in removing the Administrator shall be final. Reason for proposed change: To allow the Administrator the option of asking for either a public or nonpublic hearing. ________________________________________ ARTICLE 4 “ADMINISTRATION OF GOVERNMENT”, SECTION 4.5 (A) (h) Sec. 4.5. Powers and Duties of Administrator. A. The Administrator shall be the chief administrative officer of the town and supervise and be responsible for the administrative and financial affairs of the town and shall carry out the policies enacted by the Council.

Notification and posting of such bond issues in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) two million three hundred thousand dollars ($2,300,000) shall be in the same manner as if it were a bond issue of a town pursuant to RSA 33, as amended, with voting by ballot at a regular or special election. In addition to any other public hearings required by this Charter or state law, the Council shall hold a public hearing on such bond issue in excess of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) preceding its vote on the issue. Reason for proposed change: The cap of $1,000,000.00 has been in existence since the adoption of the Charter in 1987. Town staff believes this amount should be raised to reflect the rate of inflation since that time, which in today’s dollars would be $2,288,768.96.

The Trustees shall have all the powers and duties granted to Trustees of trust funds by this Charter and state law. Reason for proposed change: The Town’s current (and wonderful, long-serving) Trustees of the Trust Funds are aging and they believe it would be beneficial to have two (2) alternate positions added to the Charter for additional person power, and to mindfully create training positions for upcoming future members of the board. RSA 31:22 “Trustees” allows no more than two alternates. ________________________________________ ARTICLE 6 “PERSONNEL POLICIES”, SECTION 6.2 Sec. 6.2. Personnel Plan.

The Parks and Recreation Committee shall have all the powers granted to Parks and Recreation Committees by state law. Reason/ background for proposed change: To facilitate the increase in workload and alleviate issues in regards to establishing a quorum for the purposes of meetings, the Parks & Recreation Committee requests that the number of alternate members be increased from one (1) to three(3). ________________________________________ ARTICLE 11”ADMINISTRATIVE AND JUDICIAL BOARDS” – SECTION 11.1 (D) Sec. 11.1. Administrative Committees. D. Historic District Commission. There shall be a Historic District Commission consisting of seven (7) members, and up to three alternate members.

RSA 673:6 allows for the appointment of not more than five (5) alternate members to the HDC with threeyear terms. The HDC requests it be allowed to have up to the five (5) alternate members permitted by state statute. ________________________________________ ARTICLE 11 “ADMINISTRATIVE AND JUDICIAL BOARDS”, SECTION 11.1 (I) Sec. 11.1.
