SUMMARY OF IMPACTS OF AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES 9, 10 & 11

This section is intended to provide context for comparing the 2020 Operating Budget (as proposed to be amended) with past years’ budgets.

Town Spending Over Time

The 2020 Operating Budget represents a .1% increase over 2019. The average annual increase from 2015 to 2020 is 2.1%. The percent change from 2018 to 2020 is -1.3%.

Figure 1

**Numbers above show in $1,000s.

The average annual percentage growth in the net operating budget (expenditures less anticipated revenues) for 2015-2020 is 0.6%, and from 2018-2020 it is -0.6% (Figure 2). The average change expressed in dollars, from 2015-2020, is approximately $24K. The lower percentage change over time for the net budget reflects conservative spending practices as well as growth in revenue sources, including added value through new construction and renovations as well as building permit fees and motor vehicle registrations.

Figure 2

Articles 9, 10 and 11 are the primary drivers of the Town’s Tax Rate. Collectively, the proposed amendments to the Articles as presented will result in a projected 30 cent decrease in the Town’s tax rate from 2019 (Table 1).

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS AND EXPLANATIONS FOR ARTICLES 9, 10, & 11

ARTICLE 9: 2020 Operating Budget July 2020 Town Meeting Update: Select Board Recommends Amendment as proposed below.

The Select Board recommends reducing the 2020 Operating Budget in the original Warrant Article #9 by $406,977. In order to effect this change, the following amendment is in order: To replace the sum in Article 9, to read as Seven Million, Four Hundred Sixty Thousand One Hundred Forty Nine dollars and no cents ($7,460,149).1 Explanation of the Article 9 Amendment Beginning with the onset of the declared public health emergency in March, the Select Board, departments and Town staff immediately moved to respond to a number of uncertainties. These include the uncertain timing of an eventual rescheduled Town Meeting (and therefore action on an appropriation level) as well as concerns about cash flows and reduced revenues resulting from the economic impacts of the pandemic. As a result, work began on developing a spending plan with a goal of zero percent increase over last year’s Operating Budget. The Town has been operating under that spending plan since that time and taken additional steps (see section below on Additional Budget Management Strategies) to respond to fluid circumstances. The Board is now recommending the Town Meeting legislate that spending plan via this proposed amendment.

1 A Revised MS 636 Department of Revenue Administration Form is appended to this Voter Information Guide and reflects the allocation of the new proposed gross operating budget sum in the Article 9 amendment (as well as amendments for Articles 10 and 11).

Below are highlights of the Town’s new proposed Operating Budget reflected in the amendment:

• The proposed Operating Budget represents an increase of .1% increase or $9,765 more than last year’s budget.

• This budget does not include any new positions (full or part-time).2 • This budget includes the restructuring of two positions to meet current

service demands and achieve efficiencies going forward. • It reduces the paving budget in Public Works • It reflects many other smaller savings through reduced training budgets and

equipment purchases across various departments. • The budget reflects decreases in revenues, based on the best available

information from the State and current receipts to date. Additional Budget Management Strategies. Managing during these time requires flexibility and hard choices. The Board’s directive to departments continues to require a freeze on all spending not directly needed to continue existing services. In addition, the Board has taken the difficult step of reducing hours for many hourly employees and not hired back seasonal workers. These steps are intended to control spending in the event revenues come in worse than projected in current estimates. For more information about the Town of Stratham Operating budget and historical information, voters may be interested in viewing the original proposed 2020 Budget Summary on the Select Board’s website. While much information is superseded by the proposed amendment, it is useful to understand trends and other information about the budget.

2 Voters may recall the original proposed budget included a new Police Officer position, additional monies for senior programming; and funding for a part-time coordinator of senior programming, which are not included in the budget as proposed to be amended.

ARTICLE 10: Capital Improvements Program July 2020 Town Meeting Update: Select Board Recommends Amendment as proposed below.

The Select Board recommends reducing the appropriation for the Capital Improvement in the original Warrant Article #10 by $79,000. In order to effect this change, the following amendment is in order: To replace the sum in Article 10, to read as Three Hundred Sixty Four Thousand dollars and no cents ($364,000). Explanation of the Article 10 Amendment The Select Board also revisited the original proposed 2020 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) appropriation. The CIP is a tool for long-term financial planning, which ensures the Town has the resources to maintain current services, replace equipment, and upgrade or rehabilitate facilities as needed. As a result, the CIP and the appropriation through the Warrant article are important for protecting Town assets and avoiding large spikes “down the road” due to lack of investment. This proposed amendment reduces spending on seven different projects originally recommended for funding. The Board believes these changes can take place without substantial impact on the Town’s long-term financial position. These projects include: Shared Town Vehicle Replacement (-$15,000); Town-wide Workstation Replacements (-$4,000); Online permitting software and electronic storage (-$10,000); Library Space Needs Assessment (-$5,000); Property Revaluation Expenses (-$10,000); Area Plan for Stratham Hill Park (-$10,000); and State Roadway/Intersections Participation (-$25,000). For more information about the Capital Improvement Program, please access the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan. Individual project descriptions and other information about planning for the future of the Town’s capital assets, including rolling stock, can be found there.

ARTICLE 11: Appropriate Funds to Several Capital Reserve Funds July 2020 Town Meeting Update: Select Board Recommends Amendment as proposed below.

The Select Board recommends reducing the appropriation for the Capital Reserve Funds in the original Warrant Article #11 by $42,000 (see table below). In order to effect this change, the following amendment is in order: To replace the sum in Article 11, to read as Four Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand dollars and no cents ($457,000). And, to reflect the total funds to be raised (after use of fund balance of $150,000) to be Three Hundred Thousand Seven Dollars ($307,000) Explanation of the Article 11 Amendment Similar to the Capital Improvement Program the Capital Reserve Fund tools listed below are part of long-term financial and strategic planning. The Board has recommended reducing by approximately half the original proposed allocations for the Land Conservation Fund and the Historic Preservation Fund. No other changes are recommended.

Fund Name Original Budget Revised Budget Change Land Conservation Fund $36,000 $18,000 ($18,000) Historic Preservation Fund $50,000 $25,000 ($25,000) Total $86,000 $43,000 ($43,000)

10



ARTICLES 12 THROUGH 21 ARTICLE 12: Raise and Appropriate from the EMS Special Revenue Fund July 2020 Town Meeting Update: No Amendment Proposed

The NH Municipal Budget Act requires the Town’s legislative body (in Stratham, this is the Town Meeting) to appropriate from Special Revenue Funds. Special Revenue Funds are repositories for dedicated funding sources; in this case, Town’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Special Revenue Fund funded from proceeds stemming from the Town’s ambulance billing. In turn, these funds are available to support the needs of the Fire Department including the Towns EMS service function. This year, as for several years past, the Town has voted to appropriate funds for EMS Training ($10,000). This fund is used to pay Exeter Advanced Life Services (ALS) who provides EMS services on an as needed basis. Since, Medicare/Medicaid only permit the transporting agency (Stratham FD) to bill patients, the Town collects all EMS payments and in turn pays Exeter ALS for its services ($10,000). Because of the “pass-through” nature of this transaction, it is “net neutral” to the fund. The Select Board recommends this Article by unanimous vote. ARTICLE 13: Replacement of Jaws of Life for Fire Department July 2020 Town Meeting Update: No Amendment Proposed

This article is the second of two articles appropriating funds from the Fire Department EMS Fund (see explanation in Article 12). The Fire Department’s front-line Jaws-of-Life are over 20 years old and in need of replacement. Cars have changed significantly over the past 20 years and new Jaws-of-Life have a much higher working force. Also, updated cutters on these tools are designed to work with the newer vehicle designs as opposed to the older post style designs. The Select Board recommends this Article by unanimous vote.

11



ARTICLE 14: Adopt Legislation Authorizing Tax Increment Finance (TIF) Districts July 2020 Town Meeting Update: No Amendment Proposed

The State RSA establishing Economic Development and Revitalization Districts (RSA 162-K) requires a town’s legislative body (in Stratham, this is the Town Meeting) to adopt the law before establishing a tax increment financing district. If this article does not pass, the next article (establishing a specific district) is moot as the Town must pass this “authority” first. This article would allow the Town to move forward with a Tax Increment Finance District, a financial tool used across the state and nation to catalyze desired investment (economic development or revitalization) in order to increase a town’s assessed value and/or introduce new uses, amenities, or employment, usually commercial development. The Select Board recommends this Article by unanimous vote. ARTICLE 15: Route 108 Corridor Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District July 2020 Town Meeting Update: No Amendment Proposed

Through this Article, the Town’s Select Board is recommending the establishment of the Route 108 Corridor Tax Increment Financing District (See February 20, 2020, “TIF” Plan on the Town’s Gateway Implementation website). The Town’s 2019 Master Plan reaffirmed the long-held visions for a strategic redevelopment of the 108 Corridor to benefit the Town’s quality-of-life and financial stability for the long term. Recent outreach, surveys, study, and the Master Plan discussions confirm this direction and the Select Board is recommending the adoption of a TIF District and Plan to advance the Town’s wishes. The development and redevelopment envisioned for this Corridor are not possible to construct without water and sewer infrastructure. As a result, the Town’s desire to “enhance the economic vitality, business diversity, accessibility, and visual appeal of Stratham’s Gateway Commercial Business District” cannot be realized nor will higher-value mixed-use (residential and commercial) development help offset the property tax burden on residents in the future. In the absence of a growing commercial tax base (combined with limited remaining land to build new homes), the cost to fund town, county and school budgets in the future will increasingly be borne by the existing residential tax base as opposed to shared with a more robust commercial base.

12



In summary, there is significant opportunity cost to the Town in maintaining an underperforming commercial district, both financially and in terms of achieving the Town’s vision for a vital, accessible, and improved business district for the community. For more information about the Gateway Implementation and proposed TIF District, please access the following available on the Town’s website:

• Route 108 TIF Plan (dated February 20, 2020) • Frequently Asked Questions – Route 108 Corridor TIF District • Presentations from Outreach Sessions and Public Hearing • Route 108 Study Committee Final Report (May 2019) • Engineering and Financial Analysis Reports

The Select Board recommends this Article by unanimous vote. ARTICLE 16: 79-E Community Revitalization Tax Relief Incentive July 2020 Town Meeting Update: No Amendment Proposed

The 2019 Master Plan identifies several goals related to the preservation of the Town’s historic buildings, landscapes and features. The Town has a number of architecturally significant properties and the Plan calls for providing options and incentives to restore, rehabilitate, and utilize existing building stock. This article asks the Town to adopt a historic preservation tool that has recently been expanded at the State level in an effort to preserve more properties. RSA 79-E is a NH State law that allows communities to extend property tax relief for work on historic structures within designated districts. In 2014, Stratham voters adopted 79-E in the Town Center and Professional/Office zones. With this preservation tool, the Select Board has the option of granting property tax relief on the value of the improvements to historic buildings for a limited time. A relatively new amendment to the state law allows this tool to be used in any structure within Town that is listed or eligible for listing on the National or State Registers of Historic Places; not only those in the previous two zoning districts identified in 2014. Along with the Select Board recommendation below, the Heritage Commission also recommends this article. The Select Board recommends this Article by unanimous vote.

13



ARTICLE 17: Modifications of Elderly Exemption from Property Tax July 2020 Town Meeting Update: No Amendment Proposed

The State of New Hampshire permits towns to offer property tax exemption for “elderly” residents meeting certain requirements. Stratham has adjusted its exemption levels and asset limits periodically. To ensure the exemption levels in Stratham keep pace with increased valuations, an adjustment is recommended this year. An increase in the Elderly Exemption will lessen the tax obligation for residents who receive the exemption. The Select Board recommends this Article by unanimous vote. ARTICLE 18: Modification to Veterans Tax Credit July 2020 Town Meeting Update: No Amendment Proposed

Effective April 1, 2018, RSA 72:28 was changed to allow Towns to vote to adopt or modify an increase in the Veterans Tax Credit. Previously the range of the credit was $51 - $500 per year. In Stratham, the current credit is $500 as voted by Town Meeting. The law increased the range to $750 per year; via this article the Select Board recommends increasing the limit to $600 in 2020. Stratham currently has 362 Veterans accessing this credit. The Select Board recommends this Article by unanimous vote. ARTICLE 19: Multi-Sport Park Construction July 2020 Town Meeting Update: See Petitioners

This petitioned article is submitted by residents of Stratham. For this guide, the petition content/warrant article language is included as the explanation. Representatives of this petition have been invited to the March 3rd Library Information night and will also be recognized at Town Meeting (business section on March 13th).

14



To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars and no cents ($300,000.00) for the purpose of constructing a concrete recreational facility (Multi-Sport Park) on the southerly portion of the Municipal Center parcel at 10 Bunker Hill Avenue and to authorize the Select Board to accept $10,200 in donations already raised towards this project (a total of $289,800 to come from general taxation). This special warrant article will be a non-lapsing appropriation per NH RSA 32:7 and will not lapse until the stated purpose is completed or obtained, but shall in no case be later than five (5) years from this appropriation per NH RSA 32:7 (VI).

The Select Board vote to recommend this article was two in favor and one against. ARTICLE 20: New Hampshire Resolution for Fair Redistricting July 2020 Town Meeting Update: See Petitioners

This petitioned article is submitted by residents of Stratham. For this guide, the petition content/warrant article language is included as the explanation. Representatives of this petition have been invited to the March 3rd Library Information night and will also be recognized at Town Meeting (business section on March 13th).

By petition of 25 or more eligible voters of the Town of Stratham to see if the Town will urge that the New Hampshire General Court, which is obligated to redraw the maps of political districts within the state following the 2020 census, will do so in a manner that ensures fair and effective representation of New Hampshire voters. That in order to fulfill this obligation of the New Hampshire General Court shall appoint an independent redistricting commission that draws the new district maps in a way that does not rely on partisan data such as election results or party registration or favor particular political parties or candidates.

The record of the vote approving this article shall be transmitted by written notice from the Select Board to the Town of Stratham’s state legislators and to the Governor of New Hampshire informing them of the instructions from their constituents within 30 days of the vote.

The Select Board recommends this Article by unanimous vote.
