COMMUNICATIONS: Mayor Engler received a post card from the Laconia Heritage

PUBLIC INPUT:
1. Review of zoning in the Weirs Beach Commercial Resort (CR) Zone
1
Time has been set aside for public comment on reviewing zoning in the Weirs Beach area,
specifically the Commercial Resort (CR) Zone. Letters were sent on December 17, 2015
notifying property owners with significant amounts of land or frontage in the Rt. 11B and Rt. 3
area (from White Oaks Rd. to the Meredith town line) of the dates of these meetings.
No members of the public were in attendance to address this topic. Mayor Engler reviewed
maps of the City identifying under developed and undeveloped commercial areas; a list of
commercial development potential in the City was also reviewed and it was noted that 80% of
the under developed and undeveloped commercial property is in the zone being discussed.
Additionally 85% of the tax burden falls on residential and 15% falls on commercial, when a
healthy amount is 60-70% residential in most cities.
Councilor Bownes asked if there has been any input from anyone regarding this item. Mayor
Engler noted that several contacts have been made to the City Manager’s Office and there have
been others scheduled to come that had conflicts. Councilor Bownes noted that only one person
has actually commented and recommended sending this to the Zoning Task Force for review
because there are other ways to incorporate efforts, such as tax incentives.
Mayor Engler commented that his general thought is that in March there would be a formation of
the recommendation to the Planning Board and at that time ask them to do a more expansive
study. Councilor Bownes stated that he does not disagree but he feels that in February there will
be just as much input as there has been now.
Councilor Lipman commented that he appreciates the direction of this item and he feels that the
knowledge that we need to expand on out commercial tax burden is good to know.
Councilor Hamel asked if there is an opportunity to delay this until the spring when more
property owners are local and not at their winter homes. Mayor Engler replied that this is a long
process and this needs to be incorporated into the Master Plan, therefore waiting too long is not
an option. It was also noted that a directive was given to the Planning Board last year in a vague
sense and there was little comment from the public until the end of the process.
PRESENTATIONS:
1. Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)
Pat Mohan from Melanson Heath and Company presented the CAFR to the Council and noted
that the City is in compliance with standard financial practices at this time. The public may view
the CAFR by visiting the “Current Reports” at www.cityoflaconianh.org or in the Finance and
City Clerk’s Offices at City Hall.
P. Mohan reviewed the Management Letter and noted that there are no material weaknesses or
deficiencies. Comments from the previous audit were addressed and it was noted that
procedural items have been addressed as requested. Current year recommendations include to
improve Trust Fund accounting, Laconia Airport Authority separation from the City,
Mayor Engler thanked Finance Director Woodaman and Assistant Finance Director Woodaman
for the efforts on this report.
Follow-up of the Management Letter was discussed and how it will be implemented internally.
Council will be updated at the approximate mid-year time frame.
2
Councilor Hamel asked what is done with the single line audits. Finance Director Woodaman
advised that programs over $300,000, which included federal grant allocations, are tested to
ensure procedures are followed. It is also at the discretion of the auditors to review any account
they choose.
City Manager Myers thanked the various City departments for their prudence throughout the
year because without it the General Fund would not have an inflow.
PUBLIC HEARING: NONE
MAYOR’S REPORT: Mayor Engler made committee and liaison appointments to be the same
as currently standing as listed in the attached outline. Councilor Bownes indicated he would like
to be included as a fourth member of the Land and Buildings. It was reviewed by Clerk
Reynolds that Council Rule 24 permits only three (3) members and a change to the Council
Rules would need to be formally adopted. Mayor Engler and Councilor Hamel advised that any
Councilor choosing to attend a meeting and be seated in the audience are always welcome to
do so.
Mayor Engler reminded the Council that there will be a Goal Setting session scheduled for
February 5, 2016 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. This session will be open to the public.

3

NEW BUSINESS:

Spinnaker Cove Yacht Club for the Black Brook Geomorphic Study in the amount
of $500 and a request to schedule a public hearing on February 8, 2016 during the
regular Council Meeting
City Manager Myers reviewed the donation and its use with the Council.
Motion to waive a reading of the resolution in its entirety and to read by title only by
Councilor Baer and seconded by Councilor Hamel; the vote was 6-0 and the motion
passed.
A first reading of resolution 2016-02 to accept donation from Spinnaker Cove Yacht Club
for the Black Brook Geomorphic Study in the amount of $500 and to schedule a public
hearing for February 8, 2016 during the regular Council Meeting moved by Councilor
Bolduc and seconded by Councilor Baer; vote was 6-0 and the motion passed.
2. City Council action granting approval for the Mayor or City Manager to sign the
“Certificate of Final Completion of Work” required by the State DOT related to the
rehabilitation of the Main St. Bridge
City Manager Myers reviewed the request in detail with the Council.
Motion to approve the authorization for the City Manager to sign the Certificate of Final
Completion as requested by Councilor Lipman and seconded by Councilor Bownes; vote was
6-0 and the motion passed.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
1. Offer to purchase City-owned property on Davis Place, and request to schedule a public
hearing
City Manager Myers took direction from the Council to reach out to Harry Bean regarding his
offer. A clarified offer has been received from H. Bean for parcel 412-60-59 and 426-60-22
located adjacent to his property. A memorandum was also received from Planning Director
Shanna Saunders indicating that the land cannot be altered because it is in a waterbody buffer
under State of NH DES guidelines and would require a conditional use permit. It was advised
that any dead vegetation could be handled and removed but any live vegetation would need to
be maintained because it is within the buffer.
Mayor Engler advised that this item was placed on the table at the last meeting and a motion is
necessary to remove it from the table.
Councilor Bownes commented that he is not necessarily opposed but questions the offer. It is
his understanding that Mr. Wylie has made offers for the property in the past and it was refused.
Councilor Bownes further stated that the fair market value of the property is unknown and there
is reluctance to sell without an appraisal.
4
Mayor Engler invited H Bean to address the Council. H Bean advised that there is a parking
area in an open area and it was requested by an abutter so that the parking lot could not be
expanded; this area is not the same section and is a wooded area along the brook that has
become a dumping ground for the public.
Councilor Hamel clarified that just the wooded area is being requested. H. Bean replied that he
does not want any parking areas or grass and wants to make it look nice just like he has with
other properties in the City.
Mayor Engler advised that the lots on Davis Place that currently have houses on them have a
land value of $30,000 and this lot is not able to be developed. In discussion with the Assessor it
would increase the value of H. Bean’s lot by $10,800. The tax map with the lots was reviewed
with the Council.
H. Bean advised the Council that he was told by the Assessor’s office that the value of the
property was $6,000 to $7,000. With a purchase price of $1,000 and additional fees of $5,000,
that would come to a value noted by the Assessor. Councilor Bownes asked if H. Bean felt that
not making a fair market value offer on the property should be accepted by the Council. H. Bean
replied that that he thought putting the property on the tax rolls and having the property
maintained was fair.
Councilor Hamel asked if the $5,000 cost was accurate. H. Bean replied that the surveyor that
completed the rebuild of the apartment units gave that quote.
Councilor Bolduc stated that he can’t see why the City would not want to sell this property and
noted that there was small lot on Gilford Ave sold in the same manner. Selling the property to H.
Bean would be in the best interest.
Councilor Baer asked if an easement was being requested. City Manager Myers replied that
there wouldn’t be a need. Councilor Baer commented that she feels there have been other
offers. City Manager Myers advised that he has spoken with Mr. Wylie and he brought an offer
to purchase a parcel as well, which will be on the Council agenda in two (2) weeks, and it was
discussed having an easement to maintain a Riverwalk segment and it was indicated that he
wasn’t willing.
Motion to remove from the table made by Councilor Doyle and seconded by Councilor Bolduc;
vote was 6-0 and the motion passed.
In accordance with §183-7 and §183-8 of the City Code the Council would need to hold a public
hearing to make a declaration of City owned property as surplus which would then allow for the
unsolicited sale of the property if the Council should choose.
Motion to schedule a public hearing on February 8, 2016 during the regular Council Meeting
regarding the declaration of City owned property on Davis Place as surplus by Councilor Bolduc
and seconded by Councilor Doyle;
Councilor Bownes stated that he feels this action is premature and not an appropriate way to
conduct business. Councilor Lipman noted that scheduling a public hearing does not mean the
City needs to take any action.
Mayor Engler called the question. Vote was 5-1 and the motion passed. (Ayes: Doyle,
Lipman, Baer, Hamel, Bolduc; Nayes: Bownes)

2. Second reading of a resolution relative to authorizing the City Manager to accept and
expend grants on behalf of the City in the amount of $19,956.30 for Laconia DWI Patrols
Mayor Engler advised that a confidential memorandum has been received and is
considered attorney/client and is not public. Reference to the memorandum in general
description is permitted but making quotes from the memorandum is not. If the Council
would like to make this memorandum public they would need to do so with a formal
motion.
Motion to release to the public a memorandum dated January 21, 2016 from Attorney Jae
Whitelaw of the Mitchell Municipal Group of Laconia, to the City Manager Scott Myers
regarding Councilor Resolution 2016-1, DWI Patrols made by Councilor Hamel and
seconded by Bolduc; vote 6-0 and the motion passed.
No further comments were made by the Council.
Motion to remove from table made by Councilor Bolduc and seconded by Councilor
Hamel; vote was 6-0 and the motion passed.
Motion to waive a reading of the resolution in its entirety and to read by title only by
Councilor Bolduc and seconded by Councilor Baer; the vote was 6-0 and the motion
passed.
A second reading of resolution 2016-01 as presented was moved by Councilor Doyle and
seconded by Councilor Bownes
It was noted that the questions regarding the Chief of Police authority and the City
Manager authority have been confirmed by the City Attorney.
Mayor Engler called the question; vote was 6-0 and the motion passed.
NOMINATIONS, APPOINTMENTS & ELECTIONS: NONE
COUNCIL COMMENTS: Councilor Baer requested clarification on the surplus designation
request. City Manager Myers confirmed that nothing other than what was requested is being
discussed and no other portions.
Councilor Hamel asked if an assessment could be done of each portion of the lots. City
Manager Myers replied that an appraisal would be for its highest yield and it could be skewed. It
would be difficult to have comparables for the property because of the unique nature of the lots
requested. Councilor Bownes asked if an assessment could be done to get a fair market value.
City Manager Myers replied that it would add $10,800 of assessed value of the property and
that is very different than what an appraisal would come back.
Mayor Engler added that one of the issues is that we are not discussing a current lot with value
and we are talking about something completely different because the value is based on the use.
Council discussion followed regarding the value of the property.
NON - PUBLIC SESSION: NONE

LACONIA PROJECT UPDATES – January 2016
LACONIA ROAD PROJECTS PROPOSED FOR 2015
Current: Plans for 2016 Road and Sidewalk Work are continuing. Interface with Laconia Water
Works and private utilities is currently taking place and we hope to have the list of roads that will
be upgraded in 2016 finalized by mid-February 2016.
Lakeside Avenue at the Weirs is already confirmed for utility work (water, sewer and drainage)
in the Fall of 2016 with roadway and sidewalk upgrades to follow in the Spring of 2017. We
have had a preliminary meeting with Eversource to discuss their system in the Lakeside Ave.
area and to request cost estimates for modification of overhead utilities (theirs and others) by
placing them underground. Additionally, DPW and the Planning Department are working with a
traffic engineering consultant looking at the potential for pedestrian safety (upgraded crosswalks
and sidewalks) as well as overall streetscape improvements that may be included in this project.
Previous: All 2015 road improvements are now complete. Minor (Punch-List) items will be
reviewed in the Spring of 2016 to see if any areas need repair or restoration.
Work is currently underway in planning for upcoming roadwork in 2016 and 2017.
LACONIA DOWNTOWN TIF DISTRICT
Current: The January 19th Downtown TIF Advisory Board meeting was postponed until a later
date to be determined.
TIF Project Updates:
● Beacon Street West Connection: The City is in the process of finalizing an agreement with
the developer of the Beacon Street West site. The City will be utilizing the same site
contractor that is currently working on site for the developer.
● Church Street Riverwalk Connection: HEB Engineering has provided a draft scope of work
on January 19th for all TAP Grant projects. This scope is currently being reviewed by City
staff. Engineering for this phase and other TAP projects will commence after the City has
agreed to an acceptable scope of work and cost proposal.
● Landmark Inn Riverwalk Segment: Further Riverwalk work behind the Landmark Inn and
Walgreens is part of the TAP grant process. Engineering of this segment will start this
winter.
● River’s Edge Segment (formerly FW Webb site): Under construction.
● WOW Trail Phase 2: Construction is expected in the spring of 2016. Due to the sensitivity
of wildlife habitat along the trail corridor, the clearing of trees is being coordinated and is
anticipated this winter when wildlife impacts are minimized.
● Parking Garage Security Camera upgrade: Installation of the security cameras has been
completed. Representatives of the City’s IT Department and Police Department were
updated on the system capabilities in January.
Previous: Items discussed at the December 15th Downtown TIF Advisory Board meeting
included project updates, banner poles, future Riverwalk phases, and the Laconia parking
garage.

for this project and other TAP grant projects. The City is finalizing the scope of work for
engineering services with HEB and will be receiving a cost proposal based on this scope.
Engineering for this phase and other TAP projects will commence after the City has agreed
to an acceptable scope of work and cost proposal.

WINNIPESAUKEE RIVER BASIN PROJECT
Current: The WRBP Advisory Board (AB) is meeting Thursday, January 21st in Belmont.
Discussion will focus on status of ongoing Capital Improvement Projects (Electrical Switchgear
Upgrade at the Franklin Treatment Plant, ongoing Flow Metering Data Collection, etc.).
As noted in the past, flow metering data will be used to assist in adjusting/modifying a proposed
new Rate Assessment Formula to assure that member communities are being charged
appropriately for the costs of operation and maintenance of the WRBP Regional Sewer System.
Although we still require an additional 1 to 2 years of flow metering data collection to assure an
accurate and equitable assessment formula, the AB is determined to begin the draft and review
of a new rate formula during the course of 2016.
Previous: The WRBP Advisory Board (AB) met in Belmont on December 16th. There was
discussion about the proposal of N.H. Solar Gardens (NHSG) and the City of Franklin to
establish a long-term lease for solar generating facilities to be set up on various segments of
City of Franklin land. Focus of discussion was on whether the energy needs of the Franklin
Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) could be served by these facilities. A representative
from NH Office of Energy Planning (OEP) was present along with NHSG and the Franklin City
Manager to add perspective to the discussion. This matter will be reviewed again in the future
after additional information is exchanged between NH-OEP and NHSG.
The next meeting of the AB will be Thursday, January 21, 2016 at the Corner Meeting House in
Belmont at 9:00 a.m.
MAIN ST. BRIDGE (#laconiamainstreetbridge)
Current: Project audit and cost reconciliation review and reimbursement by State DOT and
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for participatory portions of the project continues. We
anticipate final cost accounting and project reimbursement to be complete by the Spring of
2016.
Previous: Construction phase of the project is complete. Project audit and cost reconciliation
review and reimbursement by State DOT and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for
participatory portions of the project is currently ongoing.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Current: The Central Fire Station renovations are almost 100% complete. An open house is
planned to be held in early February.
Previous: Finishing touches are underway in the new wing of the Fire House with work
including replacing tiles, touch-up paint, outside siding, adjusting ventilation and heat. The
apparatus garage has a new ceiling and the lights and heaters are all complete. Work on the
third deck of the old wing is moving quickly with electrical work and ceilings almost complete. A
tile floor has also been installed, and the hope is to have the third deck work completed by
December 28th.
LACONIA HEART AND SOUL MASTER PLAN UPDATE
Current: The Plan NH report of the Charrette is now available on our website
www.Reimaginelaconia.org The report included a focus on the underutilized, perhaps even
under appreciated historic assets across the community and made sure that redevelopment
accented and even highlighted these assets. There was also a focus on connectivity as the Plan
NH team thought that was one of the major issues that faced all three villages of Laconia.
Examples of the Team’s recommendations included:
• A focus on walking and biking infrastructure in the nodes of tourist area in the Weirs.
• Location of new buildings along Endicott North with setbacks from the street or wide
sidewalks to allow Motorcycle Week vendors to co-locate with new development.
• In lieu of new development along that same corridor, the installation of porticos or
canopies or solar arrays that could act as sun cover/rain cover for parking, vending or
recreation sites (such as an ice rink).
City Manager’s Project Update Report Page 3
Page 20 of 39
• Growth of tourist based business such as hotels, small grocery or deli, coffee shops and
bike or motor scooter rentals.
• Historic overlay district in the Weirs and potential form based codes or protections and
perpetuate the tourist heritage.
• Updates to the Downtown Parking Garage to add aesthetics, signage and erase the
perceptions regarding safety.
• Traffic calming on Beacon East, including pedestrian scale lighting and plantings.
• Traffic realignment on Beacon West, particularly at Veteran’s square to erase driver
confusion, reduce speeds and enhance pedestrian safety.
• Consider listing buildings to the National Register, which adds no restrictions but allows
access to federal Historic Tax Credits and grants programs for rehab and restoration
projects.
Previous: ReImagine Laconia completed the first
of our two “Road Labs” on Weirs Blvd. in late
November. This road lab asked folks if they
would support sidewalks on Weirs Blvd. This
kicks off the start of the Transportation Chapter
of the Master Plan which we are completing in
coordination with the Lakes Region Planning
Commission.
The Plan NH report of the Charrette is being
scheduled but should be available by the end of
the year. Stay tuned!
MEMORIAL PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Current: No update.
Previous: Final infield improvements to the baseball field will occur in early spring. The new
irrigation system for the baseball field will be installed in early spring.
