Description
2.13.2023 Governance Committee
A
Watching
later
is
aware
of
who
all
is
here
so
counselor
tabor,
as
noted
councilor
lombardi.
B
Here
and
I'm
counselor
cook
and
I'm
president,
so
let's
go
around
the
room,
I'm
going
to
start.
D
A
So
we
have
a
lot
of
guests
today
because
we're
continuing
a
discussion.
The
first
item
under
our.
A
Agenda
under
old
business,
the
parks
discussion-
and
we
started
this
discussion
just
for
history.
A
A
A
A
Invited
you
all
here
to
share
your
thoughts.
We've
already
spoken
with
all
the
departments
in.
A
A
Are
responsible
for
this,
so
I
would
be
happy
if
whoever
wants
to
chime
in
first
on
your
thoughts.
A
On
bigger
parks,
discussion
at
the
city
level
and
and
how
what
what
our
next
step
should
be.
G
A
To
make
a
decision-
yes,
how's-
that
this
is
first
I've
heard
about
the
products
committee.
E
E
E
The
parks
we've
typically
had
somebody
from
the
dpw
sit
on
the
recreation
board.
E
Everett
curran
and
I'm
mr
crodo,
and
they
would
come
to
the
boards
periodically.
It's.
E
E
E
Do
we
do
some
programming
on
some
of
the
products
for
recreation
purposes,
whether
it
be
adult
or.
E
A
Yes,
if
I
can
then
pick
up
and
add
to
a
couple
of
the
threads
here,
just
so
everyone's
aware,
the.
H
Recreation
board:
you
can
find
it
established
under
chapter
one
section:
1.304
recreation
board.
H
H
So
that's
it's
its
mission,
so
to
speak.
I
also
think
it
might
be
helpful
for
us
all.
H
H
With
the
city
council,
but
I
know
it's
coming
and
it's
very
close
so
right
and
we're
very
anxious.
E
As
far
as
fields,
locations
buildings,
all
that
stuff
and
also
parks-
it's
that
was
very
very.
E
Helpful
and
so
now
we've
done
an
update
here
in
2023
so
that
hopefully,
that
report
will
come.
E
E
E
Past
year
or
two,
which
includes
you,
know
the
successfully
we
put
down
one
field
already.
E
E
E
E
B
I
would
one
of
the
reasons
we
wanted
to
pull
this
together.
Is
that,
and
we
know,
recreation
you.
B
Some
of
these
places
that
are
not
necessarily
recreation
oriented
the
conservation
committee,
the.
B
A
D
And
walking
trails
and
things
of
that
nature
it
was.
There
was
targeted
on
there
to
look
at.
E
E
And
if
somebody
had
an
idea,
you
know
put
it
down,
trails,
are
you
know
pretty
important.
E
E
Around
the
city,
would
it
be
an
opportunity
and
there
is,
there
is
some
opportunities
there.
E
Go
walk
two
miles,
you
know
so
so
we
we,
you
know
we
we
have
looked
at
that
and
then
the
rail
trail.
E
E
I
G
We
added
a
new
park,
we
added
mceachern
park
over
on
the
north
mill
pond
and
when
you
go
through.
G
G
We
want
to
add
to
the
city's
inventory
of
green
space
and
I
think,
there's
opportunities
on
the.
G
Mceachern
park-
and
that
was
one
of
the
questions
we
were
wrestling
with.
G
Maybe
barbara,
maybe
that's
conservation
commission,
but
I
think
cities
that
are
successful.
G
F
F
F
On
that
and
have
conservation,
easements
so,
and
the
history
really
is
that
originally.
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
Opportunities
to
tie
in
with
the
rail
trail
and
also
opportunities
to
tie
in
with
neighborhood.
F
F
F
Presenting
to
the
concert
to
the
to
the
city,
council
and
being
at
different
opportunities,
all.
F
F
Maps
to
actually
figure
out
what's
available
and
what's
out
there
and
and
so
to
have
the
funding.
F
A
It
actually
does
help
quite
a
bit
and
that's
exactly.
I
think
why
this
discussion
came
up
here.
A
A
A
A
Before
we
connect
spaces
where
you
can
have
hiking
trails
or
connect
to
the
rail
trail,
you.
A
A
F
F
F
F
A
That's
very
helpful.
I
will
say
I
also
wanted
to
to
let
everyone
here
know
that
the
committee.
A
A
Together
a
few
times
to
have
these
discussions,
but
but
you
know
it's
a
range
of
things:
it.
A
D
Managing
money
and
that
process
had
the
trustees
not
only
managing
the
prescott
systems.
D
The
gun
to
low
company
and
and
then
in
2016,
the
city
undertook
a
full
master
plan
evaluation.
D
Was
approved
by
the
city
council,
a
blue,
ribbon
committee
or
task
force
was.
D
And-
and
that
was
finished
by
december
2017.,
I
brought
along
copies.
D
Report
and
and
his
when
I
was
looking
at
this
over
the
weekend.
Anticipation
of
this
I
thought.
D
D
D
Fairly
comprehensive,
but
we
didn't-
and
I
sat
on
that
committee
as
well-
we
didn't
go
further
into.
D
It
because
we
thought
that
was
beyond
the
scope
of
the
master
plan,
but
there
was
a
sense
based.
D
On
comments
and
discussion
that
comments
from
the
public
and
discussion
that
occurred
back.
D
Similar
language
that
adopted
on
the
master
plan,
so
the
the
the
thought
was
that
at
that
time.
D
Planning
and
policy
making,
but
it
it
may
be
appropriate
to
or
if
I
think,
the
committee.
D
D
D
Have
haven't
seen
what
the
conservation
commission
has
done,
but
it
sounds
like
they
may
be.
The.
D
D
D
I
suspect
will
be
a
few
more
years
from
today,
but
and
and
so
far
as.
A
What
would
you
like
to
share
with
us?
Well
just
the
trees
and
greenery
committee,
I
guess.
C
C
Greenery
on
in
public
spaces
in
portsmouth-
and
there
are
nine
or
so
of
us
and
and.
C
Did
by
herself
for
20
years
on
a
volunteer
basis
and
in
a
one
part
of
the
bureaucracy,
was.
C
We
review
our
tree
removals
and
some
and
quite
a
bit
of
the
planting
in
the
city.
So
it's
a.
C
A
Places
that
aren't
necessarily
open
spaces
on
the
400
trees,
the
and
that's
the
the.
C
And
conservation
involved
in
attempting
to
plant
a
planning
to
plant
or
attempting.
But
I'm.
C
C
Much
lower
figure,
but
we've
had
been
blessed
with
incredible
arborists
in
recent
years
and.
C
J
H
The
fact
that
people
do
use
the
cemetery
areas
to
walk
their
dogs
to
basically
have
that.
H
H
A
Harbor
road,
when
I
go
out
walking
so
so
yes,
I
think
that
you
know.
Sometimes
we
forget
that
our.
A
A
B
L
Is
there
any
way
somebody
can
walk
through
and
see
levi
woodbury
susan?
I
guess
and
my.
J
J
Cemetery
on
a
frequent
basis,
but
to
your
point,
we're
hoping
to
erect
the
sign
similar
to
the.
J
G
We've
got
signers
of
the
constitution
and
yeah
langdon's
there
and
whipple.
G
So
my
larger
question
was:
this
has
been
great
because
we've
seen
there's.
G
From
the
the
2017
work
on
prescott
park
of
some
policy
body
for
parks,
I'll
just
put
this
out.
G
G
A
committee
for
the
whole
city,
but
I'm
just
putting
that
out
as
an
idea.
G
G
Maple
haven
and
panway
and
mccackeron
park-
and
I
was
at
national
night
out.
G
J
G
E
You
know
bring
bring
all
that
in
and
expand
what
we
have
for
assets
and
recreation.
E
We
haven't
even
got
into
the
saginawa
creek
area.
You
know,
you
know
used
to
be
called
the
old.
E
L
Frisbee's,
whatever
golf
frisbee,
you
know
all
those
things
you
could
have
up
there
and.
E
It's
just
unused
it's
untapped
right
now
and
we
have
the
banfield
road
access
to.
E
Constitution
and
that's
a
great
spot
on
the
spot,
for
you
know
expanding
for
parking,
maybe.
E
F
F
E
E
The
same
thing
with
you
know:
we
we
do
have
liaison,
we
have
a
school
board
liaison.
We
have.
E
For
that
and
and
then
we
got
deep,
you
know
dpw
access
right,
real
right
away,
so
I
think
that's.
E
E
F
F
E
K
E
Don't
want
to
have
it
went
fire
department,
we
need
to
have
them.
Take
a
look
at
something.
A
And
because
it's
it's
not
just,
for
example
like
we,
this
might
be
a
good
place
to
put.
A
Trails
that
involves
trees,
usually
right
and
removing
trees.
It's
really
important
to.
A
A
And
and
making
that
those
kind
of
bigger
calls
on
you
know:
what
can
we
develop?
What
can
we
not.
A
A
A
Say
we
need
a
new
kayak
space
to
put
in
kayaks
if
no
one's
saying
well,
this
is
the
space
that.
A
A
Sure
that
we
are
doing
that
bigger
planning
piece
before
we
develop
a
master
plan
that.
A
Residents
come
forward
from
neighborhoods
that
maybe
don't
have
resources
and
want
them.
A
A
B
Yes,
I
would
just
had
there's:
most
urban
environments
have
plazas
as
well,
and
they
they.
B
H
The
challenge
that
we
have,
I
think
in
in
part,
is
not
that
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
good.
H
H
Or
some
part
of
a
body
or
if
we're
going
to
acquire
property,
it
means
not
only
do
we.
H
Requirements
related
to
that
and
as
barbarosso
adeptly
pointed
out
that
even
when
there's.
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
A
It's
a
really
it's
a
really
important
point,
and,
and
that
might
be
why
it's
worthwhile
having
an.
A
A
The
bigger
plan,
then
it's
much
easier
to
for
everyone
down
the
road,
even
if
it
takes
20
years.
H
H
E
We've
got
to
do
frisbee
golf
or
whatever
you
know,
and
then
you
know
and
then
have
you.
E
A
So
with
that,
thank
you.
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
As
it's
sort
of
an
extra
level
of
of
eyes,
looking
at
it,
an
assistant
city
manager
on
implementing.
D
D
A
All
interested
in
maybe
having
continued
discussions
together.
You
know
if
we.
A
Talk
with
find
ways
to
get
you
together
together.
A
Does
that
seem
reasonable?
Yes,
because
you
know
governance
committee,
we're
really
not
the.
D
D
The
same
where
we
are
completely
planned
out
so
to
speak
in
in
presco
park
is
a
unique.
A
You
know
we're
also
thinking
about
the
bigger
plan
for
that
space
and.
A
In
the
city
is
to
put
the
field,
what
makes
the
most
sense,
and
so
I
think,
there's
there's.
A
Kind
of
this
bigger
discussion
that
that
should
probably
be
taking
place
because
we
want
to.
A
F
A
Parts
and
open
spaces,
and
but
we
didn't
have
a
clear
consensus
from
the
city
staff.
A
Insights
from
the
perspective
of
citizens
serving
on
on
your
boards
or
commissions
or
committees,.
A
And
and
so
the
city
staff
would
definitely
be
involved
in
any
further
discussions
as.
A
H
A
I
A
A
G
If
we
had
a
short
break,
no,
let's
break
for
three
four
minutes
and
come
back.
Maybe
I'm.
A
A
Is
something
that
we
have
been
talking
about
here
and
I
want
to
make
sure
everybody.
A
If
I
can
get
it
slideshow
so
so
I
I
just
started
working
on
a
basic
powerpoint,
just.
A
When
I
started
first
looking
at
it
so-
and
it
can
be
very
confusing
because
we
have
so
many.
A
Different
categories,
so
what
I
did
first
is
I
tried
to
outline
where
the
city
council's
role
was.
A
A
Back
on
something,
but
their
decisions
can
be
appealed
to
the
city,
some
of
their
decisions,
not.
A
A
So
so
they
don't
necessarily
report
directly
to
the
council.
A
And
so
that's
why
they're
here
to
decide,
but
then
we
have
standing
committees.
We.
A
A
A
Report
through
the
city
manager
to
the
council
so
think
about
the
the
police
department,
the.
A
A
Also,
some
there's
a
also
another
category
here:
library
trustees
as
well,
but
their.
A
Be
very
confusing
to
a
lot
of
people.
It's
not
all
committees
report
in
the
same
manner.
A
A
And
then
we
also
have
council
subcommittees.
I
have
the
veterans
committee
here
because
it's
the.
A
A
A
A
And
then
you
have
your
blue
ribbon
committees.
We
have
a
significant
number
of
blue
ribbon.
A
A
A
H
There's
an
affirmative
vote
to
re-establish
or
not
the
various
blue
ribbon
committees.
Yes,.
A
A
B
I
think
the
perhaps
sustainable
practices
mm-hmm,
you
know
I
I
think
we
have
to
look
at.
A
A
G
A
Think
you're
right,
counselor
tabor
we
have
representatives
who
have
voting
authority
or.
A
So,
and
do
we
have
a
representative
to
co-host,
I
don't
I
didn't
we.
I
didn't
know
that
we
do
have.
A
A
representative
to
coast,
currently
our
representative
to
coast,
I
believe,
is
eric
evy.
H
A
A
A
Are
governed
by
ordinance
city
ordinance?
The
mayor's
blue
ribbon
committees
are
again
governed.
A
By
just
council
motion
the
regular
regulatory
and
technical
committees
are
much
more
complicated.
A
A
And
you
come
to
your
first
meeting
a
lot
of
times.
There
are
no
specific
set
rules
for
that.
A
So
we
also
left
out
the
the
please
board.
Has
a
portsmouth
appointed
representative.
A
Outside
entities
where
we
appoint
so
so
just
this
was
just
supposed
to
be
informational.
Today,.
A
Until
we
have
answers
on
all
of
them
and
then
maybe
talk
to
our
city
clerk
about
ways
that.
A
That
we
can
make
sure
we
provide
education
to
people
who
are
interested
in
committees.
A
A
A
Meeting
around
fee
study,
if
you'll
remember
at
our
last
governance
committee
meeting,
we
briefly.
A
On
with
appropriate
official
officials
to
review
fee
schedules,
specifically,
they
were
looking.
A
A
A
Those
committees
that
was
established
by
a
motion
of
the
council
and
and
really
is
a
subcommittee.
B
A
Let's
point:
let's:
let's
pass
go
ahead
and
pass
a
motion
to
make
it
three.
If
that's
the.
A
Recommendation
of
the
committee,
so
so
I
don't
want
to
prejudge
the
recommendation
of.
G
A
A
A
G
Had
anything
referred
to
us,
that
was
a
first
and
our
work
has
typically
been.
G
Covering
the
cost
of
the
city
and
and
not
much
more
so
it
was
almost
an
administrative
task.
G
You
know
we
could
add
it.
I
think
it
would
be
good
to
add
a
third
person
just
so
there's
no.
B
So
I
guess
what
I
would
say
is
the
choice
or
the
decision,
as
far
as
I
can
see,
is
that.
G
K
A
For
discussion,
and
do
you
want
to
suspend
the
rules
in
have
the
offer
of
public.
B
Comment
on
this
motion:
let's,
let's
go
ahead
and
suspend
the
rules
and
bring
up.
B
Are
you
sure
it's
okay,
okay,
peter
hoon,
at
280,
south
street?
I
was
on
the
fee
committee
with.
L
Councilor
tabor
and
a
little
more
enlightenment
on
why
the
fee
committee
is
so
important
and
it's.
L
So
important
for
it
to
meet
when
it
does
is,
it
is
part
of
the
budgeting
process.
The
fees
add.
L
Into
the
budget
every
year,
so
it's
one
of
those
things
that
the
staff
needs
the
guidance
of.
L
L
As
far
as
another
counselor
on
there,
I
I
don't
have
a
opinion
either
way.
I
think.
L
So
that's
something
for
you
to
consider
when
you're,
when
you're
thinking
about
this.
L
L
L
Do
your
thing,
okay,
so
the
next
thing,
since
it's
fresh
on
my
mind,
counselor
click
when
you
put.
L
Up
your
flow
chart,
I
noticed
that
you
had
the
city
manager
outstanding
by
themselves.
The
city.
L
L
If
a
request
came
from
conservation
or
wreck,
I
think
what
what
is
needed
here
desperately
is.
L
A
All
right
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
see
no
one
on
zoom,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
close
public.
A
Comment
and
we
will
resume
our
discussion
of
this
fee
study
draft
motion
that
is
on
the
table.
G
Fee
schedule
so
that
that
is
ready
to
roll
into
the
budget
and
and
that's
the
purpose.
A
A
So
I
wonder
if
you
can,
if
it's
possible
not
to
necessarily.
A
Add
a
third
person-
and
this
is
a
legal
question
but
add
a
because
the
words
not
alternate
but
a.
A
A
A
A
B
A
I
think
it
is
fair
to
say,
but
I
I
will
say
that.
A
By
june
7th
of
1982.-
and
they
came
back
with
a
report
back
in
may
may
3rd
of
1982
with
a
news.
A
Fee
study
and
I'll
read
the
report
back,
so
you
all
understand
a
new
fee
schedule.
Mr
kenny.
A
A
I'm
happy
to
report
back
to
the
council
at
the
next
meeting.
If
that
is
amenable
to.
A
Everyone
on
the
governance
committee
that
we
have
discussed
this
and
the
consensus
is
that.
A
A
G
That
we're
kind
of
passing
the
buck
to
the
mayor,
but
and
and
we
can
say
and.
A
Or
the
council
could
could
could
suggest
a
motion
to
a
passage?
Yes
exactly
counseling
any.
A
And
I
don't
see
any
new
additions
to
the
meeting
announcements
last
thing
for.
A
The
committee,
our
next
meeting
is
february
27th
we're
going
to
discuss
donations
policy.
A
Get
back
to
the
administrative
ordinance
and
I
pulled
up
conflict
of
interest
to
march
27th.
