SELECTMEN’S REPORT FOR 2002

Things were a bit more settled in 2002 than in 2001 and all
departments were settling back into a working routine and
reports from the department heads are found elsewhere in the
town report.

Property values continue to increase throughout town and a
comprehensive effort was continued to ensure that in accordance with State regulations all of our property is assessed fairly, equitably and as close to 100% of fair market value as possible. In doing this, some property owners see increases in their
values, some remain about the same, and a few may see
decreases, especially in their tax tills since the rate dropped
from $11.95 to $11.70 per thousand dollars of valuation. By
spending relatively small sums of money each year to make the
necessary adjustments, we are able to avoid raising large
amounts of money to do revaluations as is being done in a number of towns throughout the State. There will he many changes
by the State including certification of all towns’ assessing practices and we hope to he ready for these changes with little or no tax impact on our property owners.

All of the necessary paperwork is in the hands of the State’s
E911 office and they are working to complete the task as best
they can. We will then hold the final meeting on the road names
aid he under way for completion of the process. Citizens are
reminded to still use the 911. system and call 911 in the event of
an emergency.

As mentioned in prior years’ reports, the Selectmen have to
devise a budget in January in order to meet all the hearing, posting and printing requirements prior to Town Meeting. Until
final approval at Town Meeting, the town runs on unapproved
funds that hopefully won’t be changed too much at Town
Meeting. The Selectmen have tried to anticipate the rest of the
year’s weather, workload, emergencies, and other details and
try to forecast a budget that won’t be overspent. At the end of
the third quarter in 2002, it looked like we would have a pretty
good surplus in the 2002 budget, but an increase in dumping
fees where we haul our trash and the number of snow, ice and
freezing rain storms in November and December used up a lot
of that surplus. Still, we were able to under spend our budget by
$32,613. The budget that we are proposing this year shows an
increase of $27,015 over last year’s budget and an increase of
only $59,628 over what was actually spent last year. Proposed
warm,, [articles this year total $252,419 as opposed to last years
total of $312,157. this coupled with the proposed budget
increase of $27,015 should mean that the town’s portion of the
tax rate should remain stable or even decrease slightly. Of
course, the overall tax rate is made up of the local school, county, and statewide school rates in addition to the town’s rate. We
are doing the best we can to control the portion of the overall
rate over which we exercise control.

We hired our new Police Chief Timothy Connifey last year and
he started full—time work with us in January 2002. After a short
stint at the beginning of February at the Salt Lake City Olympics
working in security, he returned to Bartlett Police Department,
started bringing the department together again and becoming
involved in the community.

We also brought on board a Code Compliance Officer. This
was discussed a few years ago and since we also needed to find
a Deputy Town Clerk/Tax Collector, we were lucky to find Julia
King to fill both part-time po5itions. She is in training at the
Town Clerk’s office and started in June 2002 developing a new
inventory of pictures of existing signs and reviewing properties
for compliance. Letters were sent to the properties that were
not in compliance and Julia has been working with them to
bring them into compliance. We want to thank those property
owners who have promptly responded to the notification letters
and brought (their properties into) compliance and hope that the
others will follow suit. The goal of the Code Compliance Officer
is to keep everyone in compliance so that everyone is on a level
playing field and it is fair to everyone. Julia is available to meet
with property owners on site if they have any questions or plans
for changes in the future. You can contact her through the
Selectmen’s office.

The Selectmen contracted with the firm of Mason + Rich to
complete a town-wide audit of all departments and that has
been ongoing. Unfortunately, due to a lot of the necessary
paperwork being in the hands of the Attorney General’s office, it
has been difficult to complete until we get it back. However,
preliminary work has been done and will hopefully be completed this year. The Selectmen had already instituted some new
policies and procedures but there will probably be more recommendations when the audit is done, When completed, the
final report will he available for any citizen to review.

The new user pay system for demolition/construction material at the Transfer Station was implemented in June 2002 and in 6 months of its use, $6810.00 has been collected to offset the disposal of that material. Additionally, two loads of tires have been removed from the site and more will be removed in 2003.  The new well has been drilled at the site and the facilities now have a good reliable source of water. Unfortunately, we have not been able to work out the details regarding a glass crusher/baler hut hope to do so this year. We urge everyone to comply with the recycling effort - it saves money!

Additionally, the Selectmen have implemented a new building permit fee system which more accurately reflects the cost of
processing the various permits. 1he building permit fee was a
uniform $5.00 regardless of what it was for and had been this
way since 1985. The new fee schedule is listed elsewhere in this
town report on the Town of Bartlett information page.

We are indeed fortunate to have so many dedicated town
employees working on behalf of all the citizens of Bartlett and a
thank you, wave, or smile to recognize their dedication is always
appreciated.

There are many boards, commissions, and offices within the
town that are always seeking volunteers, so if you would like to
make a difference and support your community, please get
involved.

Town Of Bartlett , NH
2001 SELECTMEN’S REPORT

It would be understated to say that the year 2001 was a rough one in Bartlett, but we think appropriate measures have been taken along with the hiring of the new Police Chief, Timothy Connifey, that have put us back on the right track, While any time an employee of the Town commits a transgression or does anything that would be considered an action outside of the nor­mal course of business, the ultimate responsibility lies with the Board of Selectmen. To the extent that we are willing to face the situation and continue to accept responsibility for it, the less likely it will happen again. The Selectmen have implemented a number of measures to shore up the accountability of all departments and await any suggestions from the firm engaged to perform our audit. The Selectmen would like to thank all of our Town employees who have helped through this difficult time especially those at Town Hall and our police department who have represented the Town above and beyond the call of duty. It is because of these employees and a majority of Bartlett’s great citizens that we are confident we not only will work through this problem but make Bartlett an even better place to live and raise a family.

 After the retirement of former Police Chief Bob Snow, NH State Police Lt. David Goldstein was named Acting Chief and he remained on the job during the fall and into early winter. A search for a new Chief was started by the Selectmen and the NI-I Municipal Association’s Personnel Recruitment Service. Lt. Goldstein and Earl Sweeney, Chief of the NH Police Standards and Training Council, were asked to review the 19 applications and narrow the field to those candidates that they would rec­ommend for further review. Four candidates were interviewed by a review board consisting of Lt. Goldstein, Sweeney , Berlin Police Chief Al Tardiff, Selectman Doug Garland, and Citizen Deni DuFault along with Gail Wilson from the NHMA-PRS. Two candidates were invited hack for further interviews with the Board of Selectmen and Lt. Goldstein, and Tim Connifey was chosen to be Bartlett ’s new Police Chief.

The Town underwent a complete review of all sales and assessments by Patriot Properties in order to raise our equalized valuation from 85% up to as close as possible to 100% market value. This effort resulted in an increase of values in a number of areas in town and resulted in some tax bills being higher, some lower and some staying about the same. In recent years, condominium sales prices had dropped dramatically, resulting in lower assessments. Recently, that market has turned around and prices have increased dramatically, resulting in increased values and assessments. We try to make these adjustments as often as possible resulting in the least disruption possible and avoiding a whole town revaluation by keeping up to date on our sales and assessments.

 Unfortunately, the E911 system is still not fully implemented due to one glitch after another. While the new computer system is now fully functional, it was not an easy task and in addition to delaying the finishing of the E91I system it also resulted in tax bills being sent very late. On the up side, the system is now working, E911 will be completed and despite being mailed late, the vast majority of taxpayers paid their tax bills in a timely fash­ion and we were able to pay off our tax anticipation notes in a timely manner.

 The Selectmen have to plan a budget during January and early February in preparation for a budget hearing and then a vote at Town Meeting in March. This means that the first two months of the year we are spending money to run the Town on funds that haven’t been approved and after they have been approved, must run the Town for ten more months on funds approved in March, for which we have tried to predict in January. The 2001 budget worked very well budget-wise as we were able to stay under last year’s budget by $25,419 and under spent the warrant articles by $41,240. Coupled with good revenues and our healthy surplus, this leaves the Town in very good financial con­dition. This year’s budget shows an increase of less than 4% or dollar-wise an increase of $51,200. With the health insurance line and solid waste budget up by $57,000, the rest of the budget remained pretty stable. Last year’s warrant articles that affected the tax rate totaled $301,065 and this year’s proposed articles total $247,657, so we can see some reduction there. This year’s budget and warrant articles total approximately $2,200 less than last year’s total. If the warrant article passes, the Selectmen will be hiring a private auditing firm to audit the town accounts and by Town Meeting it is hoped to have a firm in place to do this work. In addition to the new policies adopted regarding the police and other departments, the Selectmen have implement­ed a reimbursement policy for the Fire Department and Police Departments when they respond to motor vehicle accidents or other incidents. Any time we can collect from insurance companies or individuals, we will be making the effort to do so.

 The Highway Department, headed by Road Agent Vincent Bailey, did major reconstruction, shimming, sealing or paving in the following areas in 2001: Alpine Village, Linderhof, Allen Road, Cow Hill Road, Spring Hill Ave., the Meadows Road, Jenks Hill and Stanton Farm Road. The substantial part of the money asked for this year will be spent on Thorn Hill Road with other projects on Intervale Lane, Linderhof, Glenwood, Stanton Farm Road , Ellis Ridge Road , and Middle Ledge Road . The road out­line developed and presented a couple of years ago is actually a bit ahead of schedule as some roads have been able to see improvements ahead of our original plans. In addition to the annual amounts requested as warrant articles, the $300,000 road bond we took out in 1999 will be paid off next year, so if necessary, some additional funding can be approved without adverse impact on the tax rate. It is important to note that while more of the budgeted funds could have been spent for just improving the road surface, the highway department has spent considerable time and money improving drainage. This has been accomplished by extensive ditch work and culvert replacement. While a new surface might look good for awhile, it is critically important that good drainage be established for the long term health of the road. We will be working this year to update and add to our road outline.

 Up at the Transfer Station, we had to purchase a different backhoe since our original one could not be counted on in a consistent manner. Since Jackson was purchasing a new hack-hoe, we agreed to our share ($7,200) for their used backhoe to move up to the Transfer Station. Bartlett ’s share of $7,200 rep­resented an appraised value of $12,000 for the machine and we felt that was our best bet. Since this is a vital piece of equipment, we paid Jackson for our share and have an article on the warrant to raise the funds. The glass crusher for the Transfer Station is still being constructed and should hopefully be in place by sum­mer and talks are ongoing with Jackson concerning a baler. The cost of our waste disposal keeps increasing, not only from more trash being generated, but by the increased costs of our con­tract. The Selectmen have been trying to develop a master plan for the Transfer Station that will enable us to proceed with a better recycling program, which is about the only way to reduce our costs. Our recycling effort is pretty good hut we can and should do better, and if we are able to proceed with the glass

Crusher and baler, we should see some monetary rewards. We will be moving out some tires this year and will be waiting for the most cost effective time to haul them. We have also been having some trouble with the dug well at the Transfer Station for some time especially during the summer months, but this year it finally gave out. The best long term answer seems to be to drill a new well and Bartlett ’s 50% share of the S 14,000 esti­mate of the proposed new well is in a warrant article to be voted on at Town Meeting.

 Our contract with Sanco expired in 2001 and the Selectmen reached an agreement on another five year contract with an increase of $10.16 per ton for solid waste and $8.19 per ton for construction debris. These increases only point out the cost effectiveness of recycling and the urgency to do whatever we can to take as much as possible out of the mainstream waste flow. A non-binding question will be on the ballot asking whether or not the citizens support implementation of a user fee system for construction debris being deposited at the Transfer Station.

 As always, the Selectmen have tried to bring forth a budget that balances the needs of the town and the need to be ever vig­ilant regarding our property taxes. Along with our dedicated employees and the citizens of Bartlett , we think we have met this balance as best we can.

 There are many ways to get involved in your community, from boards, committees and associations to town government, and the Selectmen urge everyone to give some time to the school or town, it will only make Bartlett a better place.

SELECTMEN’S REPORT
From the year 2000 Annual Report

Faced with the impact of being a "donor" town and the fact that Bartlett will be sending an additional $200,299 to the State in Education Taxes for a total of $1,052,814, the Selectmen have tried extremely hard to keep costs down but a few areas make that task very difficult.

Costs of employee health insurance have risen over $30,000 and with the new payment of interest and principle for the fire truck increasing that line by $63,000, that results in an increase of $93,000 to the budget in just those two areas. Due to the huge increases in these areas, the Selectmen worked diligently to craft a budget that provides essential services, but does not break the backs of the taxpayer. The overall budget shows an increase of $134,600 over last year and this year’s proposed budget has an increase of $106,513 over what we actually spent last year. Taking into account the health insurance and debt service increases, the remainder of this year’s proposed budget represents an increase of $39,600 over last year and approximately $16,000 over last year’s actual expenditures.

In these times of tough financial predicaments, we need to make absolutely sure that school, county, and town budgets are providing basic essential services but not trying to reach a new level with a myriad of new programs. Our tax rate situation in Bartlett is verging on perilous and if we are not careful, will become a burden to many people especially those that can least afford it. Bartlett has always prided itself on being a place where its older citizens and those on low and moderate incomes could live, work and raise a family.

The road improvement program as described in the outline presented last year met with success in the year 2000 as all of the projects earmarked were done. Major projects this past year included Town Hall Road, for which we would like to thank the US Forest Service and the NH Department of Transportation for their outstanding cooperation and commitment. Also, Spring Hill Road was reconstructed and major improvements done at Cobb Farm Road, Chandler Mountain Road, and East Branch Road. Somewhat minor improvements were also made in a number of other areas that needed corrective action. Additionally, two other major projects that had been pegged for this year and next were also done. These additional projects were the Meadows Road and, with the tremendous cooperation of the North Conway Water Precinct, the road in Kearsarge Estates was revamped. Our new experiment with the road reclamation project on Spring Hill Road seems to have worked very nicely but it will take a couple of winters to see if it is a program that we can use in other areas.

While the money asked for in this year’s warrant article for roads is less than the previous year, it should accomplish this year’s projected goals and since a lot of this year’s work involves sealing of the past couple of years’ work areas, the crew will have plenty to do. As always, the Selectmen are trying to balance the needs of our road system with the effect on the tax burden.

The E-911 system is virtually ready to go 100% on line and if the funds for the new computer are approved at Town Meeting, the new data can be entered and by summer everything will be in full operation. We do remind everyone that 911 should still be used as the true emergency number as all departments are in sync with the statewide system.

The Transfer Station arrangement with the Town of Jackson has always been split as a 60% share for Bartlett and 40% share for Jackson for operating expenses and a 50/50 split for capital expenses. The contract between the towns calls for the cost sharing to be based on equalized valuation which means the shares need to be adjusted based on current valuations in each town. Even though the contract calls for this procedure for both operations and capital costs, since day one all capital expenses have been shared on a 50/50 basis. Jackson does not want to continue with this arrangement and wishes to revert to what the language in the original contract called for. Based on current property values in each town, the current split would be 70% Bartlett and 30% Jackson. While we hope we can move ahead with improvements at the facility, ongoing discussions will be held to discuss the capital expense part of the contract.

Another first for our annual report has a picture of Bartlett Fire Department personnel along with the newly (1999) purchased fire apparatus. We plan on printing a picture of various town departments each year in an effort to show our appreciation to our volunteers and employees. The Fire Department is always in need of volunteers so if you have an interest in serving your community, please contact Fire Chief Roger Labbe at 383-9555.

The Selectmen always try to budget very close to the vest and also estimate our revenues low to make sure we don’t get caught in the trap of having an artificially derived tax rate in one direction or the other. While it is difficult to develop a bare bones budget in January and February and have it work for the next 10 months, this method seems to work pretty well. While last year’s budget was overspent by some $28,000, careful spending in the warrant articles resulted in a savings of $12,000, and coupled with an increase of approximately $8,000 in revenues, left us with a minuscule overspending of $8,000.

As always, we would like to thank all of the employees, volunteer board members and the other volunteers that make the town function as a close knit community where its citizens can be proud to live. The ideals of civic-mindedness, community support, and concern for the preservation of the character of the Town of Bartlett are alive and well.

Town of Bartlett, NH

SELECTMEN’S REPORT
From the year 1999 Annual Report

This represents the final Selectmen’s Report of the last century but we will confine our remarks to just the year 1999.

As noted in last year’s report, the landfill closure is now complete and the Town received $57,351.58 from the State Landfill Closure Grant program in 1999 to help share in the cost of the closure. Also in 1999, the saga of the septage lagoons was brought to a close with a successful closure of that area. The cost was shared 1/3 by the Towns of Jackson and Bartlett and 2/3 by the owner. The 1/3 Bartlett/Jackson share was divided on a 70/30 ratio resulting in a cost to Bartlett of $4,900. With a court action by the State ready to happen, the Selectmen approved the closure procedure and expenditure and have an article on this year’s warrant asking for the funds to pay for same.

The Transfer Station has been operating smoothly and the long standing pile of furniture has been removed. While we have been fortunate to dispose of.the metal goods at no cost to the town and are optimistic we can continue this contract, we need to make an effort to maximize our return on recyclables and expand our recycling efforts.

While the recycling effort is being maintained at a fairly high level, our outlets for recyclables and therefore our proceeds for our materials are not at a level the Selectmen would like. We have engaged the Northeast Resource Recovery Association to work with us on a better plan for our recyclables and also have inserted some funds in the budget to perhaps hire a part-time person to keep us updated on various programs that become available and to monitor our operation from time to time.

One sure fire way of gauging the Valley’s economy is to look at the expenses at the Transfer Station and taking a look at last year s expenses shows us that the area’s economy was very good in 1999. The town has attended meetings and discussed the Pay As You Throw (PAYT) program and this still seems to be an attractive idea but at every program and in most informational packets, the key point is to move slowly, do thorough research and have a good education policy in place prior to making the move.

The E-911 numbering system is still ongoing and is substantially ready to be implemented. The street name process is basically finished and a public hearing will be held once all the Street names have been put on the official map by the State. The 911 emergency system is functioning in Bartlett and that is the preferred number to call for true emergencies. This is not a process that can be rushed through as accuracy is of the utmost importance and there are more roads in Bartlett than one would think, but unfortunately we were held up by a dispute with the 911 folks over the location of the Bartlett/Hart’s Location town line and several properties were involved. Despite letters from Selectmen of both towns agreeing on the proper line, it was difficult getting acceptance by the 911 office. This process should have been completed last year and the Selectmen will shoulder the blame and time will be allocated to finish the job as a priority item. Once again, please use the 911 number for true emergencies as all of our emergency teams are tied in to the State system.

It seems we are having more extended power outages due to the increased storm velocities and we want to remind everyone that in the case of any emergency, whether it be power outages, floods or other catastrophes, the Glen Fire Station is set up and equipped to provide emergency shelter and will be staffed in the event of an emergency.

Last year the town voted to spend $300,000 in road improvements and borrow the money to be repaid over the next few years. In putting out to bid a project in Alpendorf, ironically the bids came in at exactly the same price. Faced with a dilemma of whether to re-bid or just try and negotiate, the Selectmen contacted the contractors and gave the Alpendorf project to LA Drew, Inc. and gave Hanson Excavating a like amount of work in other areas. Hanson did reconstruction work on Thorn Hill Road, Linderhof, and Glenwood. Unfortunately, LA Drew did not get the Alpendorf project done, but he did agree to apply quite a bit of hot top at his expense to the road last fall to make it better for winter traffic and plowing. The money for the job has been carried over (which is why the 1999 Special Article 4 shows as having unexpended funds) and will be done this summer. Other areas of major reconstruction included Chandler Mountain Road and the Holiday Ridge area and Pendexter Woods Road. Additionally, many other roads received considerable amounts of shimming and sealing. Since water line projects were being done in Holiday Ridge and Pendexter Woods, those projects were moved up on the schedule with the result that the planned work on Cobb Farm Road was not completed. That project will be done this year and a Special Article for that and other projects is in this year’s warrant.

The town could easily spend over a million dollars on its road system, but the Selectmen have tried to find a balance between good roads, keeping speeds safe and not least of all avoiding an adverse impact on the tax rate. While there certainly are merits to having a long term plan in place, there are also some drawbacks. It is hard to calculate what the costs for repairing a road will be 5-10 years down the road and when you are limited in funds available, whenever an emergency comes up it affects the validity of the plan. Additionally, items such as water line work or other types of work allow the town to make judgment calls and take advantage of cost sharing, which we could not do if we had to stick to a plan. By having this flexibility, the town has gotten more "bang for our buck" in such areas as the Village roads, Linderhof, Pendexter Woods, Dundee Road, and Holiday Ridge by joining in with the Bartlett Village Water Precinct, Lower Bartlett Water Precinct and North Conway Water Precinct. Over the past six years, the town has appropriated $695,000 over and above the regular highway budget and the majority of our most traveled roads show the results of that work. Recently every town warrant has had an article to raise money for the road network and it is certainly within the purview of the voters at Town Meeting to raise or lower the recommended amount. Just to give an idea of the costs involved in a reconstruction project, the bids received for approximately 1200 feet of reconstruction work last year were approximately $53,000.

The Selectmen have been able to receive funding from the State of New Hampshire through a special National Forest road program to redo most if not all of Town Hall Road. The project should be ready to bid by March or April and is expected to be completed this summer. The State Department of Transportation and National Forest have been very cooperative on this matter and a public meeting was well attended.

This is a period where we need to be extra careful about our tax rate, especially in light of the onerous extra burden of being a "donor" town with regard to the statewide property tax. It is evident that the plaintiffs and education leaders and lobbyists are not going to be satisfied with the present amount of extra State funding and will be pushing for more. Unfortunately, one of the easiest places to raise more money is an increase in the Statewide property tax. Until this volatile issue is either settled once and for all, or at least a more stable revenue stream is established, we need to be increasingly vigilant. While this year’s Statewide property tax hit on Bartlett amounted to $1.81 per thousand dollars of valuation which amounts to $181 in increased taxes on a house assessed at $100,000, which may be able to be absorbed by the taxpayer without much pain, extra increases in the Statewide tax will prove to be more onerous as it has in other towns.

The Selectmen had deferred a couple of large projects, namely a new fire truck and a large road improvement bond, waiting until the final school building bond payment was made. This idea would have seen an increase in the Town’s portion of the tax bill and a resulting decrease in the school tax portion, thereby leaving the effect on the taxpayer relatively benign. Unfortunately, the school budget is considerably higher and the Selectmen are hopeful to work with the School Board to see if we can’t work out some details to avoid what would otherwise be an astronomical increase in the tax rate.

Due to the first payment and interest on the $300,000 road construction bond from 1999, this year’s budget shows an increase of $112,800 or 10.8%. Other than those two items totaling $90,000, the remainder of the budget shows an increase of $22,600 or 2.2% over last year.

While last year’s Selectmen’s Report noted a touch of sadness and nostalgia involved with printing the last Town Report of the century, we are excited and optimistic to be part of such a great town and have a role along with all the citizens of Bartlett in printing the first Town Report of this century.

We do need to move ahead and look to the future but let us not forget all of those who helped Bartlett become the great town that it is and most of all, let us not forget those ideals and New England ethics that make Bartlett such a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

On behalf of all of Bartlett’s citizens, the Selectmen would like to thank not only all of the Town employees for their dedication to the jobs and the community but also to all the volunteers both in the town sector and private sector who contribute so much to Bartlett and surrounding communities.
