People are still living here who failed to complete the census forms. STATE REPRESENTATIVE WAYNE GOODWIN Dobbins Heights Town Hall was visited by State Representative Wayne Goodwin. This is his sixth year of providing a Town Report to Dobbins Heights. Representative Goodwin said he would be back at some time to put tags on the flags that he presented to the Town. Representative Goodwin said he would be happy to attend events in the Town. Concerning the ability to get post offices: Representative Goodwin stated that the United States Postal Service has taken a "hit" with its revenues. The Post office is a federal issue and not a state issue. He added that his office and Congressman Hayes' office will express our needs to the congress. He asked the Town of Dobbins Heights to advise him of any need for local legislation. Members of the audience asked questions about the recent legislative session. Specifically regarding the recent sales tax increase and North Carolina redistricting. NO PARKING, LOITERING, DUMPING, BURNING SIGNS North Carolina is in a critical state concerning burning. We are in the process of erecting no parking signs in many places. People double park in the streets. The Town is also in the process of erecting no loitering signs. There is a problem with dumping. The Town hopes to address the problem of illegal dumping. OTHER BUSINESS There being no further business, on a motion from Councilmember Davis and a second from Councilmember Moody the meeting adjourned at 8 p.m. Mayor Town Clerk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0433eab40b9dd25a6f5f79/1531756067298-RV4JGZZ7QXMC61GT7V9X/17meetings.jpg Meetings (1999-2003) - Lee, New Hampshire (population 4,145) Board of Selectmen, January 27, 2003 (L to R) Dwight Barney (Chairman), Joseph Ford, Richard Wellington, 2003.

Librarian Lisa Morin met with the Board and presented a handout of Lee Public Library News to date which included circulation statistics for the first half of the Fiscal Year. Mrs. Morin stated the library's catalog is now available for access via the Internet. Patrons can now search for books by subject, author and titles and renew and reserve books on-line. They will still have to personally visit the library to pick up the books, however. She said the free Community Holiday Concert at Jeremiah Smith Grange Hall on December 13th was a big success with 85 attending. The Friends of Lee Library recently purchased a boombox so that music can now be incorporated into Storytime programming as well as $800 worth of reference materials for the library's collection. On February 1st at 10:30 a.m., author Cary Armstrong-Ellis who wrote the book "Prudy's Problem and How She Solved It" will visit the library, read aloud from her book, answer questions and be available for book-signing. Storytimes for toddlers and preschoolers continue to be popular and the after school program for ages 6-10 resumes after the first of the year. There is also a 5th and 6th Grade book discussion group. This year the library will be collaborating with Mastway School in celebrating "Read Across America" in February and early March and the library will host its own "Read Across America" celebration with a Dr. Seuss Birthday Party on March 1st featuring guest readers, activities and cake. On Tuesday, March 18th, Mary Moynihan & Sylvia Foster will present an overview of the New Hampshire Women's Oral History Project with interviews with two Lee residents. She continued by saying on March 22nd, Master Gardener Carl Deame will return to present a seed-starting workshop in time for Spring. A copy of Mrs. Morin's handout becomes a permanent part of these minutes. B. Fire Chief Joseph Lombardo met with the Board and presented a Memo of Lee Fire Department Update. He stated the department has responded to 31 calls for assistance in 2003. Chief Lombardo said that Firefighter Jeff Brown resigned and accepted a new job in North Carolina. This leaves the town with two people who could respond, Lt. Mark Kustra and Firefighter Warren Hatch and Mr. Hatch's availability is dependent upon the Lee Highway Department for whom he works. Chief Lombardo said he is looking for ways to ensure the town is covered but it may mean going to full-time in the near future. He will begin by looking at his budget first and seeing if someone part-time could ,be hired. He informed the Board that Firefighter Ken McAdams is working on a recruitment campaign and will place a flyer in the next edition of the Lee Town Crier newsletter. He said there are 29 people in the department with 17 active and 2 of those will be leaving shortly. Marion Body Works will deliver the new chassis for the Rescue Truck in the next 2-3 weeks and then body construction will begin and the new unit should be ready by late May or early June. Thanks to an anonymous donation of $2,000.00, the department recently purchased a new AED (automated external defibrillator). The department's share of the cost was $500.00. The six firefighters who recently completed the NHMA CDL driver training program also received their Class B licenses with a "tank endorsement" which is very important. A copy of Chief Lombardo's handout becomes a permanent part of these minutes. C. Town Administrator Elaine Gauthier informed the Board that Linda Pandolfi from the New Hampshire Municipal Association will be at the February 24th Selectmen's Meeting to speak about the methodology and process for performance evaluations prior to presenting a workshop on same. Miss Gauthier presented exemption applications for the Board's review. The Board approved an Elderly Exemption for PID#10-05-0065 - Richard Lavin, a Veteran's Exemption for PID#10-05-0040 - Patricia Keator and a Blind exemption for PID#28-05-0200 - Donald Burbank. Miss Gauthier requested Board signatures on the letter of response to Representative Marjorie Smith thanking her for her information on State Aid to Cities and Towns. Miss Gauthier asked if the Board wished to support the LCHIP (Land & Community Heritage Investment Program) with a Town Warrant Article. The Board voted they did and Miss Gauthier stated she would see this is done. Said Article to state, "To see if the town will vote to send the following resolution to the New Hampshire General Court: Resolved, in its first two years of operation, the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) has helped communities throughout New Hampshire preserve their natural, cultural and historic resources and, therefore, the state of New Hampshire should maintain funding for LCHTP in its next biennial budget." D. Police Chief Chet Murch met with the Board and asked for permission to close the office at the Police Station for one hour tomorrow so personnel could attend the funeral of Officer Christina Cornell's father who passed away. The Board granted permission. Chief Murch reported he attended a Smallpox Vaccine Meeting yesterday and two sites have been chosen at which to administer the vaccine if required, however, no one spoke with area police or fire personnel as to how this will happen. He learned that buses would come to Lee and transport people to the unspecified site with FEMA taking care of any expense involved. However, he stated, no plan has been formulated as to how people will be transported along the route or how traffic will be handled and such. He felt area Chiefs should be invited for discussion before any plan is implemented in order to facilitate smooth operation. Chief Murch informed the Board he met new Strafford County Sheriff Wayne Estes at a recent meeting. He said it was a very positive meeting. He also stated Lee is the last town to be accepted by Strafford County Dispatch without a large financial commitment. He said his department will be digital on Friday having changed to Strafford County for dispatch services. 6. Selectmen's Report on Planning Board Meeting: A. Chairman Barney reported the consultation for the development on the Yurka property continues with the biggest issue being where to put the road. Forty houselots are proposed to begin with. 7. Old Business: A. Walter Cheney Jr. failed to appear for his meeting with the Board, however, Mr. Peters, who was present, asked the Board where they stood insofar as lowering Old Mill Road. Chairman Barney stated that currently the Board is not unanimous in agreeing to the lowering. The Town's attorney is currently reviewing this matter and then will render an opinion, however, he is currently very busy with easements. Until he has the time to render an opinion, no decision will be made until then. As soon as an opinion is rendered, then the Board will get back to Mr. Peters and Mr. Cheney. Mr. Peters was also reminded that, should they wish to take the Petitioned Warrant Article route at Town Meeting to resolve this matter, then the deadline was February 4th to submit the petition. B. David Cedarholm, Chairman of the Advisory Water Resources Committee and Ted Diers, representative for the Office of State Planning - New Hampshire Coastal Program met with the Board to discuss a project started by Laura Simmons in North Hampton. North Hampton was having a problem with water and has a moratorium because of drought, wells turning saline and development on the coast drawing so many gallons. They have instituted a water ban and it is quite serious. Ms. Simmons called the United States Geological Survey people and asked "Where's our water and where is it going?" Because a study is very costly, it was suggested that if more towns could be included and the costs shared, this might make the study feasible. Mr. Diers presented a handout of the Project Study Area and Project Budget. He said water in this area flows from Candia down to the sea however, bedrock actually flows perpendicular to normal water flow. There is only one monitoring well in the state and it is in Lee, not in bedrock and goes dry every year. So, he continued, the plan is to get a lot more information about water in the state. He said the study includes surficial geology maps, a regional monitoring well database, creation of a regional monitoring, well network and streamflow monitoring network, a plan to do water use investigation, a plan to do a regional water availability estimation and seacoast groundwater flow simulation. Project total would be $1,536,642.00. He said he has a draft Warrant Article as well as a list of towns who have pledged or already paid. He was asking for $5,000.00 from each community but it buys a 1.5 million dollar study. Mr. Cedarholm stated that any survey that Lee does would be given to them, compiled and then returned to Lee in usable form. Also, Mr. Diers said he learned that Strafford Regional Planning Commission has also formed a Water Resources Committee. After some questions from the Board were answered, the Board agreed they were in favor of joining the study. It was also suggested that large water companies like USA Springs might be coaxed into contributing to the study as they were large water withdrawers in the area. B. Chairman Barney informed the Board that, at his request, CMA Engineers completed the modifications to the AUR requested by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services in their October 22nd letter to the town. Said AUR can now be submitted to NHDES for approval. Once NHDES approval is received, the AUR and Plan will need to be recorded with Strafford County. Also, per Chairman Barney's request, CMA will not bill the town for completing this work. A copy of the e-mail from CMA and modified AUR become a permanent part of these minutes. C. Jay Grumbling asked for a progress report on his Easement. The Board stated they found no problems with the document so it could be given to the Attorney for review. D. Miss Gauthier reminded the Board that they must complete the Coalition Ballot and return it by February 7th. She received an e-mail from Mr. Asselin encouraging them to do so. A copy of the e-mail and ballot become a permanent part of these minutes. 8. New Business: RACETRACK PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Barney opened the Public hearing at 8:00 p.m. John and Judy MacDonald, owners of Lee USA Speedway and Peter Watson, General Manager, met with the Board. A tentative schedule was presented with Mr. Watson stating the April 19th Racer's Swap Meet had been cancelled. Selectman Ford asked about the new event in which 13-17 year olds would be racing. Mr. Watson said it is not an event but a division. This means they would be doing it on a regular basis rather than just one time. He said the racetrack is taking every measure towards safety and they also have adequate insurance coverage. Each driver will be in radio contact with the pitmaster at all times as well as having a personal mentor to help them. This ensures that if they are traveling too fast or doing something else they should not be that may be a danger to others, they can be corrected. He said the vehicles would be trucks with 4-cylinder engines and not travel very fast. This program was initiated in order to train drivers to be better and safer before they reach 18 and step into the more advanced race cars. Chief Lombardo said he had some questions about this division but they were answered. He also reminded Mr. Watson that the sub-contractor who will be selling fuel at the racetrack may only do so during racing events and must have liability insurance. Chairman Barney asked if Police Chief Murch had any concerns. Chief Murch said he did not. Chairman Barney then asked about the travel trailers which were previously on the property in violation of the Racetrack Ordinance. Mr. Watson said that all occupied trailers had been removed except for a couple of junkers. Chairman Barney asked if there were any noise complaints. Both Chief Murch and Chief Lombardo stated they had not received any. Chairman Barney said that normally he receives one or two but had not received any last year. He commended the racetrack for doing a commendable job of lessening the noise that comes from there. Mr. Watson said they have quieted down their own class of cars all around however, the Super-Modifieds have not done that yet. Chairman Barney noted that there seems to be less Super Modified races. Mr. Watson said those type of cars are more costly and with the lower divisions, the cost is not as great which means the less people spend then the more they can participate in the sport. Town Secretary Donna Eisenhard showed those present the amended Racing License she drafted which would include the year at the top in large letters (as previous licenses did not) and said it would also now be two pages, so indicated on the first page. The two-page license would be to facilitate signature lines and dates for the inspections which will be done by the Code Enforcement Officer, Police Chief and Fire Chief. Miss Gauthier said the license would not be signed tonight as town officials will need to do their inspections first and sign off on the license before the Board would sign it. Chief Lombardo said it would be Spring before any inspections could be accomplished. Chairman Barney asked if there were any other questions or concerns. As there were not, Selectman Wellington made a motion to accept the racing schedule as presented. Selectman Ford seconded. Chairman Barney called for a discussion. There being none, Chairman Barney called for a vote. Motion passes. A copy of the Racing Schedule and the January 14th letter from Town Administrator Elaine Gauthier to Mr. MacDonald outlining the requirements for the added division and fuel dispensing vendor becomes a permanent part of these minutes. Chairman Barney closed the Public Hearing at 8:17 p.m. and the Board returned to normal business. 9. Selectman Wellington made a motion to enter into Non-Public Session. Selectman Ford seconded. Chairman Barney polled for a vote: Wellington-aye; Ford-aye; Barney - aye. Motion passes. The Board entered into Non-Public Session at 9:23 p.m. The Board exited Non-Public Session at 9:45 p.m. and re-entered Regular Session. 10. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:46 p.m. Minutes recorded by: Donna F. Eisenhard, Town Secretary Mintues accepted by: Dwight E. Barney, Chairman Richard H.

At that time there was no quorum, so the meeting moved directly into the Public Session. Hon. Stanley N. Gleaton, presiding. PUBLIC SESSION Mr. Skip Carlson National Director Intuit Financial Freedom Foundation's Quicken Tax Freedom Project I am here tonight to provide free tax assistance to people whose adjusted gross income is $25,000 dollars or less. This applies to 69 of the 127 million tax returns filed in the United States. Obviously, the vast majority of people eligible do not take advantage of this program. You must go on the computer and have internet access. You just go onto the Quicken.com web site and then go to the Tax Freedom web page and complete your return. If your income is less than 25 thousand, the program files your return but does not charge you. It will do your federal, state, and local tax returns, as well as having any refund given to you by direct deposit. This means that you will receive your money from within seven to ten days of filing. So this option has many advantages. We have trained the entire senior class of Frederick Douglas Academy in how to file the returns, so they were able to hold a Taxpayer Assistance Days at the school where they help their families, neighbors and community file their taxes. Two days ago I was at the Milbank Center and we were introducing this service to other agencies and community program leaders. When you first use the system, you have to choose a username and password, and this will allow you to go back any time and see your information from prior years. You will have access to other year's returns. Electronic filing then, for many reasons is becoming the preferred way of filing returns. Direct deposit is also becoming the preferred way of receiving refunds. The program is simple and direct, and has a lot of help and advice features that make it friendly. For instance, the program will ask and remind you about child care credits and expenses if you have children, if you have certain receipts that are deductible. We know that many people my age are scared of these new technologies, but there are a lot of benefits and a number of trained people who can help. We have been working closely with Congressman Rangel's office to help spread the word about this new program. Hon. Guy Mitchell Assistant Attorney General Director of the Harlem Office We cover Northern Manhattan (which includes West, Central and East Harlem, as well as Washington Heights and Inwood). We mainly do mediation services, consumer fraud, some criminal issues and since have been there we also do civil rights issues. We also sponsor monthly forums. Recent issues have focused on gang violence, domestic violence, African American judges, Women's History Month, Immigration and a whole group of community issues of relevance to the legal system. On March 28th, our newest forum will be on Women's History and will be at 8 Am in this building on the third floor. We try to be of any assistance we can to this community. Our phone number is (212) 961-4475 and our web site address is www.oag.state.ny.us. I started here in August, and it has been an absolute pleasure working here so far. We are on the 13th floor, and the office is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. Q: Hon. Barbara Barber: Do you handle payoffs for votes? I'm serious. This time I'm ready to name names. A: Mr. Mitchell: Come down to the office anytime and we will sit down and talk about it. Q: Hon. Barbara Barber: When? A: Mr. Mitchell: Anytime, I gave you my hours. We will do a complaint form and follow up. Statement/Question: Hon. Barbara Barber: I'm coming down tomorrow on my lunch hour. I want an investigation. Statement/ Question: Mr. Foster: We have been reporting information to the Attorney General's Office for years now and we have not been getting any positive feedback. In particular, we have not resolved the issue of Ms. Baker, who is running a criminal enterprise. You can check Gutman v. Foster, 1988. Thank you. A: Mr. Mitchell: Send me the information, and we will sit down and check it out. Q: Audience: What are the last four numbers of the phone number, and secondly, do you deal with cases of police brutality? A: Mr. Mitchell: Yes, if the case deals with human or civil rights violations, and our number is (212 961- 4475. Q: Community Resident: What if a supermarket has something for $10, and it really costs 50 cents. Is that a crime, because I think it is? A: Mr. Mitchell: well, if it was a false advertisement, but here is also misleading and deceptive advertisement as well. Q: Community Resident: Can someone go in your house, if you owe him or her money, and take the money's worth out of you house? A: Mr. Mitchell: No one can take any object from your house unless they have a proper search warrant. Talk to my office. Q: Audience: If there is an advertisement in the flier or newspaper you should not have to give anyone your personal information, like your social security number. You should not put any money up front either. Those are usually scams or frauds. A: Mr. Mitchell: Thank you, that's exactly right. Statement: Community Resident: I just want to say, "Welcome home". A: Mr. Mitchell: Thank you. Q: Mr. Martin Smith: What do you feel about the recent decision of the Louima cops? A: Mr. Mitchell: Well, it is in District Attorney Charles Hynes jurisdiction. They are talking about a retrial on different charges. As the representative of the Attorney General, our office has issued its opinion on the judgment. As an individual and as an African American attorney, I was and am extremely disappointed. Hon. Alma Alston Chair, Aging Committee Community Board # 10 Michelle Paige Patterson Government Liaison North General Hospital Thank you. I am the new community relations person for North General Hospital. I have been living in Harlem for the last two years, and I am surprised that many people in the community do not know about us. North General is the only private, black run hospital on the entire East Coast, and it is the largest private employer in the Harlem Community. We have some fliers and some information on the tables and at the Community Board about some of the programs we have at the hospital. Ms. Getty Arnila Community Outreach and Health Education Coordinator North General Hospital North General, as Michelle said, is a black owned hospital. We do a lot of work in the community. On May 22nd, we are doing a Health Fair. The fair will have free testing for a number of ailments, with a particular focus on preventable diseases. It will be on 122nd Street. We aim to make the community more aware of diabetes, asthma, cancer and hypertension. We will also try to bring the doctors out in the community with us, so we can all meet our doctors on a personal level. We will also listen to you regarding what advice you can give us. Mr. Bilal Thompson Drop the Rock Campaign Good evening. I am the outreach coordinator for the Drop the Rock Campaign, an effort to repeal the laws first enacted in 1973. I also am part of the Correctional Association so I am very familiar with the system. When they were first passed, they were named after Governor Nelson Rockerfeller and his misguided War on Drugs. The sentencing structure calls for mandatory 15 years to life for possession of 4 ounces of a controlled narcotic or sale of 2 ounces of a controlled narcotic. It essentially transfers the discretion from the judge to the Assistant District Attorney because they are the ones that control who gets charged with what. The judge is now the District Attorney, and for political purposes they have a bias for longer sentences. With the mandatory sentencing, the judges' hands are tied. The circumstantial factors like how much you are caught with, your role in the crime, your past criminal history of lack of criminal history, or personal circumstances, do not come into play. There are hundreds of people still in jail because of this law solely, and actually have statements from judges in their files that disagree with the sentence imposed. In 1973, there were 15 prisons with 13 thousand prisoners. As of January 1st of this year, there are 70 prisons and 70 thousand prisoners. The budget for the Department of Corrections has grown multiple times over and we spend 759 million dollars yearly to incarcerate the prisoners sentenced under this law. The law is racist. White people do 80 % of drug use, but 94% of drug dealers serving time is either Black or Hispanic. The war on drugs in one of perception. If the government trots out a lot of drugs, and can say they have incarcerated a large number of people, they are trying to give the impression that they are effectively prosecuting the War on Drugs. They are not. Of the 21 thousand people in jail today sentenced under Rockerfeller, 80% of them are admitted drug addicts, with another 80% being non-violent. There has to be some proportionality in terms of sentencing where the crime fits the punishment. This is in no way to diminish the cost of drugs to communities everywhere in both human and economic terms. But the administration of justice is not sane when it comes to this law and its application. Other warped pressures have come into play. The vast majority of the new prisons in the state built since 1973 have been built in the districts of just three upstate Republican State Senators. It is a big business. These men are transferred out of the city and are transferred to these upstate counties where jobs are scarce, and there is a real economic incentive to become prison guards. The census even counts the jail population as residents of the particular county where the jail sits. This transfers even more resources and electoral power upstate. This makes the legislature unfairly weighted upstate. Most women (New York has 3500 women in jail) who are mothers have their children shifted around in the foster care system. There are better alternatives to incarceration. Drug treatment has proven to be a much more effective alternative to incarceration. Especially for nonviolent offenders. It reduces recidivism, costs the public less and keeps families so there is not another generation of future inmates. Get involved. Register to vote. Write your state officials including the Governor and get them to rectify these unjust laws. You can reach us at www.droptherock.org. We are having a day to lobby upstate in Albany on March 26th. Bentley Whitfield Black United Fund of New York Neighborhood Redevelopment Program Hello, we are here to talk about a housing proposal that BUFNY has been designated site control for by HPD. Let me first say something about BUFNY. We are at 2271 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard and were founded in 1979. We are a not for profit entity, and funds are raised by donations and payroll deductions. We fund various organizations and have given away $15 million dollars in grants since our existence. BUFNY entered housing construction because it saw a great need to help our constituents find and have decent affordable housing. We now manage 429 units in Brooklyn and Manhattan and our construction projects have been worth over $30 million dollars. African American contractors work on all of our projects. For this project, there will be no displaced tenants because we have two phases of construction. When we complete the first building we will move all the tenants into that building while we work on the other adjacent building. We were given site control by HPD in the spring of 2001. The site is located at 17, 19, and 21 West 127th Street. The buildings are now 92 units, but after a gut renovation there will be 72 modern apartments. This project will bring construction and property management jobs to this community. I have here the artistic renderings and other information like the unit mix and the specifications. Q: Hon. Noreen Clark Smith: Where is you architect? A: Mr. Whitfield: He is not here tonight. Q: Mr. Foster: What about the mismanagement and malfeasance at some of your projects? A: Mr. Whitfield: I am not knowledgeable about the day-to-day operations of any particular development so I do not know what you are talking about. All of our property managers file Conflict of Interest paperwork and are bonded. Q: Community Residents: What about the current residents? A: Mr. Whitfield: Only 38 apartments are inhabited. The rest are vacant. No one will be displaced on this project or any project that BUFNY is involved with. Q: Ms. Nixon: Is that block going to be overcrowded? A: Mr. Whitfield: Not by this project, because we are taking 92 dilapidated dwellings and converting them into 72 units. If anything, the density of the block will decrease because of this project. ELECTED OFFICIALS Honorable William Perkins Councilman, 9th District Good evening. Let me start tonight by giving an update. Monique Washington, a member of Community School District 5, was attacked by a policeman and was maced and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. She was trying to quell a dispute when the officer attacked her. Today, she held press conference/ communities rally to highlight the fact that these things are still going on in our community. From an elected officials point of view, me Councilman Robert Jackson and State Senator David Paterson are working with the District Attorney and the Police Department to see what policy changes can be effected with regards to these incidents. At the City Council, it is Budget time. The Mayor has released his preliminary budget and hearings will start this month over the effects of the new budget. This budget of course, contains massive cuts for almost every single city agency, and the purpose of the hearings is to hammer out a final agreement amongst the council to decide what sacrifices have to be made and where. The committee that I head, Governmental Operations, will have its hearings on the 12th of March. We deal with Community Boards, the City's Archives, DCAS and a number of other city agencies. We are going to ascertain the effects of budget cuts on these agencies. Let me say that some members of the Council, are already concerned that the only way the preliminary budget seeks to close the massive budget cuts is by borrowing, cutting money or hoping for increased grants from state or federal governments. They have not looked into tax policy, through income tax surcharges, commuter taxes, business or real estate taxes to raise revenue. Keep an eye on that important debate. Statement: Mr. Foster: I respectfully request a moment of silence for William Epton, who passed away recently. Statement: Councilman: Bill Epton was a Harlem activist for a long time, who owned a print shop near CCNY, and he was a strong fighter for Harlem and social justice. His latest project was a Malcolm X museum, and although he will never see it, there is a lot of interest surrounding this idea that he popularized. (A moment of silence was observed for Mr. Epton's passing) Q: Mr. Cogan: I think that the Bloomberg administration is following the call of the electorate in stating that we do not want higher taxes. We know that there is a lot of waste in city government and shouldn't that go first? Secondly, I have a problem with the generators that BMCC has running 24/7 that is keeping the residents up all night, and probably wasting energy to boot. A: Let me just mention that Mr. Keith Lilly is here tonight and we will have a look into the generators by BMCC. Mr. Lilly and are always available at our office on the 7th floor. As you know, BMCC was one of the victims of 9-11 and Fitterman Hall was destroyed by the attacks. If there are disturbances we will work together to fix them. BMCC coming temporarily to Harlem is not some punishment but rather an opportunity for our young people to benefit and get familiar with the school while they are housed in Harlem. If I can bring the debate back to the budget, there is a new program for our young person that cuts the tuition in half for all students that maintain a B average. It is a wonderful program, and it is currently on the chopping block. Q: Hon. Terence Lyon: What will happen to the Museum of the City of New York, and what will the payments be if the city reneges on its deal? A: Councilman: The Museum of the City of New York is proposed to move from its home on museum mile at 103rd Street and Fifth Avenue to the refurbished Tweed Courthouse next to City Hall. Bloomberg has rejected this Giuliani deal, and has agreed with the local city councilman and the Community Board 11 that the museum should stay. Many of you may have heard an idea to move the Board of Education into the building. There has been no formal decision yet or on the possible use for the Tweed Courthouse. The Tweed Courthouse itself is an expensive building to maintain, but the city would actually save money by paying for some improvements for the eventual tenants and other costs, but these expenses dwarf the projected moving costs of the Museum that the city would have bore. Q: Community Resident: What about redistricting? A: Councilman: Every ten years there is a census. As a result all political districts are changed to deal with the new demographic realities and shifting populations. We are now in the process of creating a new commission to set the new boundaries. Q: Hon. Carrie Smith: What about term limits? A: Councilman: As you all know, I am strongly against term limits, and have always been so on the grounds that I feel that it is undemocratic to tell anyone who they can vote for or how much time someone should represent them. It is why we have elections. It is why we have a democratic process. However, the term limits referendum has passed twice by popular vote, and in a sense the people have spoken. I must admit that the new councilpersons have been somewhat of a breath of fresh air. There has been a learning curve, and it will take some time. My committee will have hearings on term limits and its effects. The Mayor has said he would not support any efforts without a referendum to change the law. In June my committee will be having hearings on reparations. Bills have been submitted by Councilman Charles Barron, State Assemblyman Roger Green, and Congressman Conyers of Michigan at their respective city, state and federal levels. The idea of reparations is an international one, and it has been gathering steam for some time. March 21st has been designated Reparations Day by the City Council, and we will be focusing on all of the issues that surround this topic. Let me tell everyone that there is a Living Wage Bill that is coming to a vote that would create an eight-dollar an hour minimum wage. This would immensely assist health, day care and retail workers, who often earn less than that. It will pass the Council and become much closer to a law that would raise the standard of living for so many African American and Latina women and their families in this city. Lastly, you all will be invited to my installation on March 22nd at the Schomberg Library for Research in Black History and Culture. It will be at 6:00 PM and it would be wonderful if I could see you there. Mr. Terence Tolbert Chief of Staff Assemblyman Keith L.T. Wright, 70th District I will be brief. Assemblymen Wright, Farrell, Powell and Espaillat are the second, third, fourth and fifth names on the bill to repeal the Rockefeller Laws. State ¥ Senator Paterson has a similar bill on the Senate side of the legislature. Drop the Rock really does need to happen. March 26th will be the lobbying day for the Drop the Rock Campaign. Secondly, A group of parents from parents from Community School District 5 is lobbying for 260 thousand dollars for a program to deal with school safety. There are two young ladies in the audience right now that came to Albany and represented Harlem well. Third, there will be a hearing next Friday the 15th, at 250 Broadway in the assembly hearing room at 10 Am regarding the new state assembly and senate lines and boundaries. Next Thursday, Thurgood Marshall Academy will have their groundbreaking. Assemblyman Wright will be there. It is a great thing to have a state of the art school there. Finally, West 130th Street and Noreen Clark Smith have fought and earned a well-deserved injunction to stop the new special needs housing sitings on her block. That area was found to have over 10,000 special needs beds within the immediate area. Together, we will win that fight.

Finally, the NAN will be taking a lead role in attempting to organize and unionize workers for the United Cerebral Palsy. This organization, though it represents a good cause, has been incredibly unfair and underpaying its mostly minority work force. Hon. Stanley Gleaton: I would like to acknowledge Ms. Dina Joyner, our former Board member. Dawn Jones Community Board Youth Chair We will be honoring the affected families of the Pentagon, World Trade Center, American Airlines Flight 587 and United Airlines Flight 93 disasters on Saturday March 23rd, at 2 PM, at the House of Justice.

Mary Madison Community Resident Ms. Madison spoke about reparations and a rally on the 21st at the African Burial Ground. She handed out fliers with the information. On another handout, she copied an article regarding the New York Times article on the Belgian government admitting its role in the murder of Black revolutionary Patrice Lamuumba of the Congo.

YAMHILL CITY COUNCIL MINUTES April 9, 2003 WORK SESSION CALL TO ORDER: The work session meeting of the Yamhill City Council was called to order at 6:30 p.m. by Mayor Heinrich. Roll Call: Present: Councilor Breazile, Councilor Echauri, Councilor Murphy, Councilor Terp and Mayor Heinrich. Absent: None AGENDA ITEM 3.0- Public Works Superintendent Position: Mayor Heinrich started the work session stating that Council would be meeting Richard Howard this evening and that there are two different issues concerning the Public Works Superintendent position that he has indicated that he would like addressed by Council. The first issue is a salary increase after six months and the second issue is an additional week of vacation to be earned during the first year of employment. Mayor Heinrich stated that there would be no decisions made in the work session, she is just looking for ideas and general feelings regarding the issues that may be addressed by Richard Howard later this evening. Mayor Heinrich also asked to discuss what the Council would look to do should Richard Howard decline the offer for the position of Public Works Superintendent. As there was really no clear second choice during the interview period, Mayor Heinrich believes that the City would need to start the process all over again. There was general discussion that the City could place another ad in the Oregonian, cut the original ad down in length, state that certificates are required, and show the starting salary as $36,500 annual. The ad would be e-mailed to Council for approval and placed in a Sunday paper as soon as possible. There was general discussion regarding the additional week of vacation for the first year. The Personnel Policy clearly states that one week of vacation is accrued during the first year of employment It was stated that for a managers position, two weeks vacation does not seem like an unreasonable request. Because of the personnel policy, should the Council decide to offer an extra week, it would be considered a 40 hour signing bonus and be given after the six month probationary period. There was general discussion regarding an increase of salary after the six month probationary period. While the Council would not be against any type of increase, there is concern about how to measure and justify the amount of the increase. Typically increases are given up any where from 0 to 5%, based on an employees performance. There is still concern about the Commissioners being able to do an objective review instead of a subjective review. It is felt that any new Superintendent will need at least six months to orientate himself with the town and organize the office. It was general consensus that the Council would be open to negotiate a salary increase after six months, based on performance and expectations within the first six months. There was discussion about Council's feeling about paying for any moving expenses. The general consensus of Council was that should moving expenses be asked for, the amount that could be offered would not exceed $500.00. There was discussion about the Council's feeling regarding the Superintendent driving a City Vehicle to and from work. While the Council would not be totally against the idea, it would need to discussed after the position had been accepted and taken into consideration where the Superintendent would be living. Council would be open to negotiate this at a later date. The Work Session ended at 6:58 p.m. REGULAR MEETING CALL TO ORDER: The regular meeting of the Yamhill City Council was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Mayor Heinrich. Paul Shambroom introduced himself to the Council and stated that he is working on a long term project photographing government meetings throughout the US. He asked for Council permission to photograph the meeting this evening. It was general consensus of the Council to allow Mr. Shambroom to photograph the meeting for his project. Roll Call: Present: Councilor Breazile, Councilor Echauri, Councilor Murphy, Councilor Terp and Mayor Heinrich. Absent: None AGENDA ITEM 6.A- Approval of March 26, 2003 Minutes: Councilor Terp pointed out a spelling error on page 3 of 8 and Mayor Heinrich asked for a correction on page 6 of 8. Motion by Murphy to APPROVE THE MINUTES OF MARCH 26, 2003 AS AMENDED. Roll Call: Ayes: Breazile, Heinrich, Murphy and Terp. Nays: None The motion carried. AGENDA ITEM 7.0-City Engineer Update: There was no update necessary. AGENDA ITEM 8.0-Public Comment: Dwaine Crawford addressed Council asking for any suggestions on where he might go for funding opportunities for a business venture that he is looking to start. He would like to open ' a restaurant/lounge in Yamhill. He is looking at a log cabin kit that would be 2800 square feet and would have an occupancy of about 86 people. He has looked at the City's Economic Development loan program, although it does not have enough money available for his needs. There was general discussion regarding funding opportunities. Several suggestions were given by the Councilors; State of Oregon Small Businesses, State of Oregon Lottery and Spirit Mountain. Dwaine Crawford asked Council how they would feel about his establishment applying for a hard liquor permit with the OLCC and if they would support it. Mayor Heinrich responded that Council could not give any type of answer this evening, as the process would need to start with the Planning Commission. General consensus of the Council this evening is that it promotes economic development and would like to see new commercial activity for the City, as long as it complies with all City requirements and codes. AGENDA ITEM 9.A- Public Works Superintendent Position - Richard Howard: Mayor Heinrich introduced Richard Howard to the Council. Richard Howard was offered the position of Public Works Superintendent and has come to Council this evening to meet with the entire Council and ask questions Of the Council. Richard Howard thanked the Council for the opportunity to meet with them and answer questions that he has. He asked the Council what they were looking for from a Superintendent; are they looking for someone who can do the job and keep the City in compliance with all state and federal regulations and manage the employees in Public Works. There was general discussion from Council that they basically want a working Superintendent that manages the day to day responsibilities of the department, keeps the City in compliance, works well with the public and all City employees. The Superintendent would make the day to day decisions and keep Council informed. The Council does not micro-manage any of the departments. Leadership is an important quality for the position. Council wants the City's operations to run smoothly and they rely on the Department heads for this. Richard Howard then asked Council if he would be expected to treat anyone any differently, such as someone who might be on Council currently or any time in the past or someone who may have name recognition in the Community. There was general discussion from the Council that everyone in the Community should be treated the same. Respect and rules are the same for all in the Community. Council would not ever expect to have to over rule any department heads decision, as long as it abides by the rules and regulation of the City. Richard Howard thanked the Council for their answers and their openness. His wants to make sure that his certificates with the State and his reputation are protected and that Council would not ask him to place any of those on the line. He does not play favorites, rules are rules. While there may be room for interpretation, he will not knowingly break any rules for anyone. Richard Howard asked what Council's feelings were regarding the salary increase and additional week of vacation. Mayor Heinrich asked Councilor Murphy to address these issues. Councilor Murphy stated that Council would be open to a review process at the six month period regarding the salary increase, the general scale is anywhere from 0 to 5%. Regarding the second week of vacation, the Council is in agreement that this request is not unreasonable, they would not be able to offer it as vacation as it would be in direct conflict with the Personnel Policy. Council would offer a 40 hour bonus of paid time off, after the six month probationary period. Richard Howard thanked Council for their time and consideration and openness with their answers and stated that he would accept the position. He would be available to start May 1, 2003. Council welcomed him aboard and thanked him for his openness and considerations. There was discussion regarding Richard Howard's contract with State of Oregon Circuit Riders program. This contract lasts for another six months. Council has no objections to him continuing this contract, so long as it does not interfere with his job and does not occur while he is on the clock with the City. AGENDA ITEM 9.B- OLCC Request - Miss Dollies Girls: Sue Bennink introduced herself and her sister Kathy Crawford, owners and operators of Miss Dollies Girls. They are requesting an OLCC license to carry local wines for gift baskets and such for sale. There may also be several wine tasting events, possibly hosted by different local wineries. Motion by Echauri to RECOMMEND AN OLCC LICENSE BE GRANTED TO MISS DOLLIES GIRLS AND AUTHORIZE MAYOR HEINR1CH TO SIGN THE OLCC APPLICATION. Councilor Murphy inquired if the OLCC License would give unfettered access to alcohol. Kathy Crawford responded that this application presented to Council is just one step in acquiring an OLCC license and that there is other paperwork that specifically states the purpose. They will not be having sidewalk cafe tables serving alcohol. It is basically for the sale of local wines and possibly some wine tasting events. Roll Call: Ayes: Breazile, Echauri, Heinrich, Murphy and Terp. Nays: None The motion carried. AGENDA ITEM 9.C- Appointment of Budget Committee Member: Motion by Murphy TO APPOINT MIKE WOFFORD TO THE BUDGET COMMITTEE. Roll Call: Ayes: Breazile, Echauri, Heinrich, Murphy and Terp. Nays: None The motion carried. Councilor Breazile was excused from the meeting at 8:05 p.m. AGENDA ITEM 10.A-Police Review: Commissioner Echauri advised Council that she meet with the Chief yesterday and received the monthly calls log. The Chief's car is going in for some maintenance; front end alignment and linkage adjustment. The Police Department is running smoothly. There was general discussion that with the start of Spring, there is going to be more pedestrian activity. The Police Department will be doing five pedestrian cross walk safety awareness operations between April and September, 2003. There is also a bill being voted on at the State, that if passed will require helmets for anyone under the age of 16 to be worn while skateboarding, rollerblading, or riding scooters. AGENDA ITEM 10.B- Public Works Review: A written report was presented by Acting Superintendent Daggett. He advised Council that Gene Belt has taken care of the road cut on W. Third and it has been repaired. Acting Superintendent Daggett talked about the stream bank protection project and the joint application that has been submitted. The deadline is April 11, 2003 and it appears that ODFW has objected to the design that was submitted. Richard Howard suggested that the City contact DSL and request an extension on the application until all agencies involved can meet and come to a design agreement. There was general discussion that this project has been going on for over a year now. The funds to pay for the project are grant funds and the City will need to get another extension. City Recorder Wodarczak will contact OECDD and request the extension and Acting Superintendent Daggett will contact DSL for an application extension. The permits that are issued by DSL only allow work during the months of July and middle of August. If the City doesn't get the permit this year, we would be looking at 2004 until the work can be done. Acting Superintendent Daggett advised Council that the item in his written report regarding work at the baseball diamonds should read that all work and equipment will be provided by the volunteers. AGENDA ITEM 10.C-Mayor/Administration Review: City Recorder presented her written report. Mayor Heinrich advised Council that she had received a request from Pleasantview Water District requesting that the City sign off as the Direct Responsible Charge (DRC) operator for distribution form. She sees in the written report from City Recorder that the City has also received the same request from West Yamhill Water District and at the recommendation by the City Attorney and City Engineer, the City not sign for any water district. City Recorder Wodarczak advised Council that she gave Jeff Swanson's card to West Yamhill Water District and they could possibly contract with his organization. She was advised by both the City Attorney and Engineer that the City is only responsible for treatment and distribution from the plant to the Water Districts master meter and that the districts take responsibility from there. The Districts own and maintain their lines and individual meters, therefore they are responsible for distribution from the master meter into their lines and meters. Other suggestions for the Districts would be to contract with someone who is certified with the State and not directly involved with the Yamhill's water plant, such as someone from McMinnville Water and Light or even the City of Carlton. All the water districts could contract with the same person. It was general consensus of the Council not to sign the DRC form for any of the Yamhill water districts. Mayor Heinrich stated that she spoke with the School regarding the parking issue at S. Laurel and E. Main Street. The School District does not have any portable "no parking" signs. She asked if the City had some type of portable barricades that could be given to the School. The School cross guards could then place them out on' the strip of land that is in question during the time that kids are arriving and leaving school. The City will look into the cost of purchasing lightweight portable "no parking" barricades. This would address the safety issue of the property owners at 100 S. Laurel Street. AGENDA ITEM 11.A- Monthly Building Report, Accounts Payables & Financial Report - March 2003: Motion by Councilor Murphy to APPROVE THE STANDARD REPORTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE CONSENT ITEM SECTION OF THE AGENDA. Roll Call: Ayes: Breazile, Echauri, Heinrich, Murphy and Terp. Nays: None The motion carried. AGENDA ITEM 12.0-Other Business: There was no other business.

STOCKTON DAYS Dana Allred couldn't be here but left a report for the Board and copies were given to those present. Barry Thomas went over the agenda for Stockton days. It is our 100 anniversary of incorporation this year. Claudia Baker asked about also honoring our veterans. STOCKTON SANDBAR Mayor Thomas reported Tooele Commission voted 2-1 against the gravel pit going in at the sandbar. There is a committee trying to see what can be done to keep this sandbar intact permanently. Anna Prawl suggested we send a thank you to the Commissioners who voted against this. GRANTS Judy Thomas turned in a grant for United Way today and asked for a street lighting upgrade. She put in for two grants for the DUP museum for $3000 and $4000. She requested a computer for the $3000 grant and the other one is for remodeling the museum. The bid for the remodel was $7000 and the grant is a dollar for dollar match. The DUP will be doing some fund raisers and Mrs. Thomas said will also apply for a CDBG grant to help with our share. The CDBG cemetery grant has had no problem so far. Mrs. Thomas will be meeting with the Historical Society tomorrow. Counter Point's preconstruction start date is 7-2-01 and they should be finished 180 days later. Ward Engineering is getting dollars amounts on the Fire Department bays combined with the maintenance building and putting in for grant for both. This will also include an evidence room for the police. Don West said the matching funds grant from the State has been sent in and he should hear from them soon. He didn't get this grant last year so he should qualify this year. Mrs. Thomas sent a letter to the Seabees requesting help with sewer but hasn't heard back from them yet. WIDENING SILVER AVENUE Ed Maculley showed the board the latest plan for widening west Silver Ave. He sent this to Nate Brockbank but hasn't heard back from he yet. The contractor wants to start this week. Mr. Maculley asked the Board to approve this even though he hasn't had a response from Mr. Brockbank. David Wright said he has money in his budget to finish paving that street to the railroad tracks. Mr. Brockbank will do from Connor to Sherman for his portion of the project. Curt Morris said the project doesn't have to go out for bid if it is under $24,000. This project will cost a total of about $14,000 with Nate's share and the Town's share about evenly split. Mr. Wright wants to put a culvert. Mr. Maculley recommended if the bid seems reasonable we let the work start right away. Angie Harrison moved to go with project as long as it is under $24,000 including the culvert across the road, Claudia Baker seconded and the motion carried with all in favor. Ed Mcaulley said the filter system we designed has been redesigned by Steve Palmer and Mr. Palmer told about the new design. The Tekleen filters in the new design may give a life time filter where the ones currently in our plans are a 1 year warranty. Water has been sent in for analysis for this system to see what size filters will be required. They will have plans for the alternate filter this week. This will be about $40,000 less than the original design. Barry Thomas explained about the two types of filters and their sizes. Mr. Palmer said the current design is a multi-media filter (sand and cement) and it is a large diameter filter. The alternate filter is long and thin and requires a smaller building. Both filters will backwash for cleaning but the small one takes less water. The new design has a lifetime warranty because there is no medium, it uses small diameter stainless steel screens to filter. Both systems are good systems and both are currently in use around the State. The real treatment of our water will still be done in the slow sand filter system this will just help that system work faster. There will be a catch basin to catch the backwash water. Backwash water is wasted and the current plan would use 4000 gallons whereas the new design would use 1000 gallons. Mayor Thomas asked for motion on what to do with this project. Richard Stockdale is 100% for the small filters. Claudia Baker motioned to go with the smaller filter system, Angie Harrison seconded and the motion carried with all in favor. PUBLIC HEARING AMENDMENT Judy Thomas opened three areas of the budget needing to be amended. The other of departments were okay with moving funds around within the department. Professional & Technical and Planning & Building went over their total budget but those areas are hard to project what will be needed for the year. Mayor Thomas explained why we have a public hearing and opened the meeting for questions and comments. There were none. Angie Harrison moved to approve the budget amendment, Claudia Baker seconded and the motion carried will all in favor. 2002 BUDGET Page 4 of this budget was missing and Mrs. Montague made copies for everyone. Judy Thomas had one request for a change from Police Department. They need more money for repairs and she said she could give them another $1500-2000. and Increase revenues by excess funds as he has left over budget from this year. Claudia Baker asked about burial revenue and expense. Mrs. Thomas said as we only had one burial last year she didn't put it on this year but will consider it next year with the improvements to the cemetery. Mrs. Baker suggested we check with Tooele and Grantsville for to see how they handle their cemeteries. Angie Harrison is concerned with type of grass were are putting at the cemetery, the water use and expense of maintaining the area. Ed Maculley said turtle grass take3 a third of the water. Mrs. Harrison thinks buffalo grass is the best It takes less water and only needs mowed about 2 times per month. She suggested doing a sprinkling system for grass and drip system for trees and plants. A motion to accept the Resolution for the 2002 budget with the changes discussed was made by Angie Harrison, seconded by Claudia Baker and carried with all in favor. ORDINANCE TO SET MAYOR SALARY Mayor Thomas asked for comments on this ordinance. Angie Harrison said she was in favor of paying the Mayor. June Lewis said every other community Mayor gets paid and so should ours. There is a lot of work involved in being Mayor. The Rush Valley Mayor gets $450 and is a smaller Town with less departments. Curt Morris pointed out that the Mayor should probably not vote on this and that would leave less than a quorum. The people present said let him vote. Angie Harrison moved to pay the Mayor $500 per month starting July 1, 2001, Claudia Baker seconded and the motion passed with all in favor. BEAUTIFICATION PLAN Mayor Thomas said a couple of Master Gardeners requested doing a project at the Town Hall. They have to do a community project every year. This would be around the building and probably wouldn't use any more water than is used now. Judy Thomas brought up about the swings-they need to be brought up to code or removed. The merry-go-round is also not to code. Anna Prawl said she would like to see barrels of flowers on main street too and said she would water if we planted. Some Master Gardeners also want to help with the cemetery. James said he liked what the fire dept did with the red rocks on their park strip. Barry Thomas thanked everyone for their suggestions. Claudia Baker wants to strongly suggest homeowners beautify also. Angie Harrison wants to make a sample of 0 scape with low use of wafer. JAIL CONTRACT Mayor Thomas said we don't have a jail contract at this point but if they do we want to make sure that the language covers us with not having to pay medical costs for prisoners. Curt Morris said he has a copy of our contract and it does say we pay for medical expenses. He will tell the County Attorney we don't want that language in the contract. The board has a copy of a letter from the Grantsville Mayor to the County Commissioners on this very thing. Attorney Morris said if you take away someone's freedom you have to take care of them. This can be done a case by case basis like Grantsville wants to do. We can make a decision to release the prisoner or pay the medical costs. Our court sees class C & class B misdemeanors. Mayor Thomas read a letter addressed to Board from Mayor Odell Russell on his resignation as Mayor of Rush Valley. The Board members got a copy of a lease agreement on cell Towers. The group wanting to do this will be meeting with the Planning Commission on June 19th. CENSUS REPORT The 2000 census report lists Stockton with a population of 443. This is probably low. The report breaks out the population by race and age and other areas. The Board Members all got a copy of the report to review. A motion to adjourn was made by Claudia Baker, seconded by Angie Harrison and the meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m. Ellen L. Montague, Town Clerk Barry J.
