3.20.2023 City Council
A
Any
opposed
next
up
our
regular
agenda
kelly.
When
you
can,
will
you
please
call
the
roll.
B
A
Today
marks
the
20th
anniversary
of
the
avision
of
iraq
and.
A
In
honor
of
that,
and
all
that
have
served
not
come
home
from
that
and
come
home
to
face
a.
A
A
A
A
A
C
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
couple
things
on
behalf
of
the
visual
arts
department
in
in
portsmouth.
C
Public
schools,
but
also
the
community
at
large.
We-
it
is
youth
art
month
and
we're
very
excited.
We.
C
C
C
C
A
And
some
of
those
award-winning
pieces
can
be
found
on
the
fourth
floor
of
city
hall,.
A
Stuff
and
thank
you
for
bringing
this
back
after
a
couple
years
or
kovid,
where
we
didn't.
A
This
proclamation
happen
tonight.
Next
up
the
acceptance
of
minutes,
I'd,
wait,
a
motion.
A
A
Next
is
the
recognitions
and
volunteer
committee
reports,
we
have
portsmouth
energy.
D
Portsmouth's
member
representative
to
the
community
power
coalition
of
new
hampshire's.
D
Board
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
stay
a
few
remarks
with
all
of
your
support
over.
D
D
D
D
D
D
Percent
reduction
for
the
default
rate
compared
to
eversource
and
if
you're
a
community,
that's
in.
D
D
Three
other
green
rates
for
go
live.
The
default
rate
is
23
percent
as
a
23
renewable
content.
D
D
D
Substantially
below
the
ever
source
rate,
which
is
a
much
lower,
much
lower
renewable
content.
D
D
D
Reserves,
so
it's,
I
think,
an
encouraging
first
step
for
the
coalition
back
to
portsmouth
all
right.
D
D
D
D
D
D
Not
want
to
participate
in
community
power,
the
it's
it's
quite
easy
to
to
to
not
do
that.
D
Power
would
launch,
in
the
last
few
days
of
may
say
by
june
1st
at
the
latest,
and
we
would.
D
D
D
D
The
community
power
coalition
of
new
hampshire
to
procure
power
on
for
portsmouth.
So
that's
the.
D
D
D
That
honestly
believes
that
community
power
and
specifically
cpcnh,
is
a
real
important
development.
D
D
E
Thank
you,
I'm
peter
samsich,
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
portsmouth
energy
advisory
committee
and.
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
F
F
Have-
and
I
also
want
to
thank
kevin
charette,
who
is
our
representative
to
cpcnh
and
has
become.
A
A
Sculpture
garden,
the
bohango
park
she's
been
selected
to
create
the
first
sculpture

G
G
H
H

Someone

H
I
I
I
I
I
And
after
this
week
in

I
will
also
host
webinars
and
online
workshops.
So
people
who.
I
I
A
Learn
how
to
do
some
paper
cutting
that's
exciting,
and
I
also
learned
that
they're
going
to
be.
A
J
K
K
K
K
K
K
L
And
you
weren't
here
council
moreau,
but
I
enumerated
you
many
ethical
feelings
except.
L
L
L
Yeah
bogus
bogus
accusations
of
pro
of
process
violations,
then
I
mean
it
is
katie
by
the
door.
L
Okay,
I
think
thank
you
mark

up.
Well,
we
have
zelita,

N
N
N
N
N
N
N
N
O
O
O
O
Next
thing
I

the
community

is
has
been
authorized

P
P
P
P
P
P
P
P
P
P
P
P
P
P

You
think
about
the
properties
you
already
have
so
before

guys
send
you
know
or
try
to.
P
P
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
For
that
meeting
as
well-
and
I
was
surprised
that
some
of
the
some
of
the
comments
that
I
heard.
Q
Q
Call
this
an
escape
clause
when
we
did
contrast
or
some
contracts
or
some
sort
of
ramp
of
off
just.
Q
Q
Q
I
still
would
like
to
know
why
I
wasn't
this
is
negotiating
one-on-one,
so
I
would
like
to
know
if.
Q
R

incredible
big
potholes,

And
if

public
comment.
I'd
wait!
A.
A
U
V
Thank
you
just
to
clarify
a
couple
of
points
about
our
impasse.
Our
impasse
involves.
V
In
that
development
agreement
it
had
termination
rights,
as
you
said,
often
called
outs
or.
V
A
Manager
next
up
is
the
public
hearing
and
vote
on
ordinances
and
or
resolutions.
A
G
Briefly
to
it,
we
did
spend
a
lot
of
time
at
the
planning
board
and
made
some
further
changes
to.
G
G
A
waiver
for
the
parking
requirement,
and
then
there
was
also
some
changes
as
to
where
things.
A
Council
burke
and
counselor
bagley
thank
you
and
I
just
want
to
thank

X
But

I
just
want
to
thank
them

their
work,

Thank

A
Reading,
as
I
understand
it,
yes
all
right
and
that
will
be
I'd-
ask
any
amendments
that.
A
Are
planned
for
that
to
be

council
packet
before
the
discussion,
if
possible,
to.
A
A
Oh,

b2,
because
we

A
So
we
have
a
this
would
a
way
to

First
reading
of
the.
J
Runner,
I
am

this
forward
from
the
governance
committee.
We
were
asked
to
review.
J
As

the
cemetery
committee
there
any
questions
on
this
policy
councilman.
G
Don't

Yes,

actually.
J
J
J
Z
Yes,
I
well
first
of
all
I'd
like
to
thank
everybody
from
the
city
council
and.
Z
The
city
departments,
for
you
know
creating
this
committee
last
well
almost
two
years
ago
and.
Z
Z
We
we
care,
we
just
can't
seem
to
get
it
together.
You
know
in
the
same
place
at
the.
A
The
hard
work
thanks
for
councilor
cook,
for
bringing
this
forward,
provided
this
passes.
A
In
favor
of
moving
this

reading,
any
opposed,
thank
you,
counselor
cook,
all
right.
A
All
in
favor
aye
aye
any
opposed
next

There
is
a
letter
from
courtney,
perkins
prescott
park.
A
A
Portsmouth
and
musical
history,
the
shaw
brothers
on
saturday
saturday
september,
11
2023,
with.
A
A
rain
date
of
saturday
or
sunday
september,
12
2023
at
weighed
motion
to

moved.
U
Second,
we
have
a
correction,
your
honor
yeah,
the
dates
are
actually
september
9th
and.
G
10Th
because
the
11th
is
a
monday,
but
I'd
also
just
like
to
point
out
that
that's
also
the.
G
A
A
Rolling
thunder
requesting
establishment
of
a
pow
m.I.a
chair
of
honor
program
in
portsmouth,
I'd.
A
W
Invasion
of
iraq,
the
one
military
acronym
that
still
haunts
me
to
this
day
is
dust.
One,
not
many.
W
People
are
familiar
with,
it
stands
for
duty,
status,
whereabouts,
unknown
and
essentially
it's.
W
And
it
was
october
26
2006,
where
dust
one
went
out
across
the
radio
and
we
proceeded
to
lock
down.
W
A
Under
my
name,
appointments
to
be
considered
that
it
will
bring
forth
at
the
next
meeting.
A
A
On
to
counselor
tabor
thanks
mayor,
I
would
propose
a
motion
that
the
city
council
hereby.
F
F
I
think
kevin
charette
gave
us
a
very
good
summary.
It's
exciting
to
me
that
residents.
F
F
F
So
the
energy
committee
reviewed
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
learning
about
energy
portfolio
management.
F
W
W
W
Y
Y
Course,
the
whole
community
power
group
who's
done
all
this
expensive
work,
which
brings
me
to.
Y
To
opt
citizens
into
this,
what
I
would
push
back
is
we're
we're
a
city
of
22
000.
Y
Y
Y
Y
A
X
To
thank
everyone
on
the
hard
work
they've
done.
The
energy
advisory
committee,
councilor
tabor.
X
J
J
J
Forward,
if,
if
everything
works
out
on
april
11th,
and
that's
what
kevin
charette
was
here
to.
J
For
by
april
11th,
but
we
would
then
be
joining
the
coalition
and
we
would
be
joining
the
second.
J
J
G
They
want
to
is
that,
where
we're
starting,
that
that's
where
we
are
right
now,
I
think
it's.
A
And
I
think
there
is,
there
was
one
speaker
who
stated
that:
how
can
the
nine
of
us
decide.
A
Have
a
town
feel
when
I
walk
around
the
north
mill
pond?
I
know
a
lot
of
folks.
It
feels
like
a
town.
A
Where
we
have
nine
elected
officials
that
make
decisions
like
this
in
the
financial
and.
A
A
A
To
a
public
referendum,
what
we
believe
is
in
the
best
interests
of
the
city,
and
I
believe
that.
A
A
Nobody
came
in
to
to
offer
any
lower
rates
that
were
not
confused
or
complicated,
because
the.
A
Very
definition
of
utility
is
it's,
provided
the
government
tends
to
provide
these
things.
It
is
a.
A
A
A
A
A
Next
up
counselor
cook
on
your
or
the
city,
not
your
the
city,
council
donation
policy,.
AA
And
I
I
guess
I
should
introduce
this
by
saying
that
the
governance
committee
has
been
working.
J
On
a
donation
policy
since
last
year
in
the
fall,
mostly
because
of
direction
and
request.
J
An
overarching
donation
policy,
and
so
we
had
to
start
with
drafting
a
donation
policy
and.
J
J
A
A
This
thank
you.
Yes,
council
lombardi.
Yes,
I
would
reiterate
we
did
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
this
and.
AA
A
Counselor,
I
just
had
one
question
and
I
want
to
thank
all
the
work
that's
been
done
on
this.
This.
X
And
understandable
as
possible,
I
have
a
question
this
might
be
for
the
city
attorney.
AB
AB
AB
AB
That
we've
talked
about
in-house
is
coming
up
with
a
form
letter
and
what
we
generally.
AB
Municipality
so
there's
like
a
different
sort
of
magic
language
that
we
fall
under.
G
A
Y
I
do
have
a
question,
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
this,
but
I'll
float
it
out
there.
I
believe.
Y
I
think
that's
probably
a
reasonable
number
for
now.
You
know
this
will
probably
be
in
place.
AB
If
it's
for
a
business
purpose,
you
know
it
would
depend
on
whether
that
would
fall
under.
AB
Under
that,
but
typically
you
have
a
section
of
the
chapter,
one
that
deals
with
conflict
of.
AB
Interest
sort
of
individual
gifts,
so
you
know
someone
offers
an
employee,
for
example,
an.
AB
AB
AB
AB
Know
senior
staff
or
are
invited
to
for
a
business
like
say
there
was
a.
You
know
like
a
planning.
Y
AB
E
Aye
any
opposed
all
right
city
manager,
you
have
another
informational
item.
I
do
your
honor
thank.
U
U
U
U
The
pda
director
farini
made
sure
to
point
out
that
when
the
matter
of
millionaire
comes.
U
U
U
Means
something
to
people
golf.
It
means
less
to
me,
but
I'm
learning
and
at
the
grill
28.
U
Eighteen
thousand
dollars
in
regional,
regular
food
and
beverage
revenues
and
twenty
three.
A
U
G
10Th
of
march,
which
was
about
10
days
ago,
and
we
had
brought
forward
the
195
properties.
G
We
had
originally
looked
at
narrowed
it
down
to
probably
about
15
to
20,
which
then
we
narrowed.
G
G
Those
final
properties
to
before
the
report
we'll
then
go
back
to
land
use
and
then
hopefully.
X
X
Housing
is
needed
in
portsmouth,
it
shows
all
the
housing
dynamics,
it
really
breaks
it
down.
X
Nick
gregnell
did
a
great
job
on
the
presentation,
but
I
really
encourage
anyone.
That's
concerned
about
this
topic
to
watch
the
watch.
This
video.
X
X
Yeah
the
first
hour
was
about
those
properties.
The
second
two
hours
was
presentations
and
some.
X
A
Thank
you.
Thanks
to
the
land
use
committee,
all
right,
any
other
miscellaneous
items.
