Mayor Engler reviewed all of the positions that will be up for election this year. CITIZEN REQUESTS TO COMMENT ON CURRENT AGENDA ITEMS: Kevin Morrissette (518 Shore Drive) addressed the Council regarding the Nominations, Appointments and Elections this evening. K. Morrissette stated that he feels like the attitude of the Planning Board needs to change and the impression that Laconia is difficult to work with needs to change. Being friendly and helpful would go a long way. The Council has a chance to vote and having three more years of the same is not a benefit of the City. Hamilton McLain (19 Lantern Circle) commented that he is a member of the Planning Board with vast experience on other boards in other communities. With his experience H. McLain feels he is qualified to comment that current Planning Board Chairmen has not acted in a way that is unacceptable and he has held the best interests of the City at the core. There has not been obstructive behavior from the Planning Board in the two years H. McLain has been on the board and the claims the Planning Board is biased are not called for. Clay Dunn (200 Garfield Street) stated that he has not heard anything positive from the Planning Board in the past two to three years. C. Dunn has done several projects in the surrounding communities but not recently in Laconia because it’s a struggle. Other communities are willing to do whatever they can to help with the paperwork and approvals to benefit the tax payers and that is what the City should be doing as well. C. Dunn commented that the City makes people feel like they are coming for approvals with the predisposition that they are doing something wrong regardless. A productive Planning Board would be allowing development in the City. Peter Morrissette (business owner and developer of various properties) addressed the Council. P. Morrissette stated that for the first time the City has a qualified City Manager and he is very open to discuss issues with the public and it is a good thing. P. Morrissette added that he has not come to meetings in the past because he has a cleaning contract with the City and does not want that to cause a conflict of interest but he has been pushed with his most recent project and he feels he needs to come forward. 2 P. Morrissette feels the personal attacks that have been coming from the Planning Board Chairman, who is an abutter to the property causing the controversy, and this is not appropriate because it is intimidating to the contractors in the area. When contacting other contractors that have issues they did not want to come forward because they don’t want any retaliation to come from it. P. Morrissette also commented that other communities have been very helpful when trying to complete projects unlike when he was trying to have the approvals completed for his development on Washington Street, at which time the Planning Board refused to allow him to cut down some trees that were going to be over the roofs and the following winter they fell on a car. This small development is a beautiful addition to the street in P. Morrissette’s view and he is being made to feel like he is doing wrong. P. Morrissette also commented that the City needs to work among the departments rather than having the residents run all around making copies and wasting money and paper. P. Morrissette added that he would like to have a good experience but the personal interests and views are making this difficult. Regarding the building causing controversy, he will be placing an orange snow fence up if he is forced to work with Mr. Hutchins to come to a conclusion. He has allowed various community resources of the property, including it being a bus stop for the neighborhood, the condominiums using it for winter parking, and other thankless uses of his property that are not being recognized. He does not want to be torn up by the Planning Board again. John Remington (61 Pendleton Road) commented that he is a neighbor to the church parking lot in question. J. Remington has come to the meeting this evening to discuss the character of Mr. Hutchins which he has found to be fair and appropriate. J. Remington has been before the Planning Board and Zoning Board several times through legal counsel and he feels that it has been a fair experience. Mr. Hutchins has been working hard and within the rules of the Planning Board and City Code when making decisions, but sometimes rules are in conflict and the boards are in place to determine when a conflict needs to be resolved. P. Morrissette made an additional comment that he is not questioning the character of Mr. Hutchins but that he is using his personal opinions bias his decisions and he is not sticking with the regulations in place. C. Dunn added that he does not know the Chairman of the Planning Board directly but the negativity in the City has been too great. Rather than staying with what they know and making a change the Council will be happy with that decision. Kevin Leonard (Northpoint Engineering) spoke on behalf of the Laconia Area Community Land Trust regarding the traffic order being brought forward again this evening. K. Leonard noted that he will be the on-site inspector as outlined in the proposal and he appreciates the City’s support. COMMITTEE REPORTS: 1.

The recommendation of the City Manager is to refer this item to the TIF Advisory Board and to table at this time. It was discussed that the request should be for three units and not two. City Manager Myers advised that the Police Department was purchasing some cameras with their allocated budget. Councilor Hamel still encouraged the Council to refer the purchase of three to the TIF Advisory Board. It was noted that all cameras purchased with TIF funding would need to be used in the designated TIF area. Councilor Hamel moved to refer this item to the Downtown TIF Advisory Board for review for the purchase of three cameras and to table this item until such time as a written recommendation is received. Seconded by Councilor Bolduc. Councilor Baer commented that she did not understand why this needs to be done because the Council has the ending say on making allocations from this fund.
