LEGISLATIVE YEAR 2021

RESOLUTION: R-21-187
PURPOSE: Changing the purpose of up to $440,225 of unexpended bond

proceeds from the LED Street Light Project to Infrastructure
Improvements - Sidewalk Construction for the design, repair,
and construction of sidewalks

ENDORSERS: Mayor Jim Donchess
COMMITTEE
ASSIGNMENT: Budget Review Committee
Board of Public Works
FISCAL NOTE: Allows $440,225 to be spent on a capital project (sidewalk

construction) from unspent bond proceeds approved under R-1I5-
191. The approved LED Street Lights Capital Project bond (R-15-
191) is complete. If bond funds were not repurposed they could
be used to offset a payment within a fiscal vear reducing the
debt service account within the operating budget.

ANALYSIS
Resolution R-15-191 authorized bonding for the LED Street Lights project. That project is
completed and will have surplus funds. This legislation allows those surplus funds to be used for
Infrastructure Improvements -— Sidewalk Construction.

The use of bond proceeds is controlled by RSA 33:3-a. They may be spent only for purposes for
which the loan is incurred, except as the statute otherwise provides. If no expenditure of the
proceeds has been made or a balance remains after “completion” of the project, the funds may be
authorized, by a 23 vote, for another project eligible for bonding for an equal or longer period,
or the funds may be used to pay principal of the project's loan as it matures. RSA 33:3-a II. No
public hearing is needed under bonding requirements because the reallocation is not the
authorization of new borrowing.

However, this is a supplemental appropriation. Charter Sec. 53 permits specific non-bud get,
supplementary appropriations. There should be notice and a public hearing. A two-thirds vote is
required under Charter Sec. 56-b for an item or amount not in the mayor's budget. A roll call is
required under Charter Sec. 49.

This legislation should be referred to the Board of Public Works for its review and approval.

PERSONAL INTERESTS

I have many interests and hobbies which have been wide and varied throughout my life, most of which include
science, philosophy, mythology, model building, culinary, paleontology, astronomy, sci-fi and politics. Among these,
broadcasting being the obvious one, I have a strong passion for broadcast audio processing. Having once personally
owned an industry-grade broadcast audio processor, I learned hands-on about this esoteric audio artform, and
developed an iron-clad understanding and the skills necessary in the installation, setup and maintenance of such
devices. As part of the same hobby, I am presently using Stereo Tool Broadcast Processor for my own personal
enjoyment at home in my media center, through which my understanding of such applications has increased. The
end goal of this is to develop my own webcast radio station using Stereo Tool to drive the stream. Aside from that, I
like to stay abreast on current events and occasionally enjoy discussing national and world affairs. During my free
time, I enjoy reading philosophy and fiction. I also enjoy reading any technical whitepapers published by Orban and
Omnia to further my understanding and stay as current as J can in the latest breakthroughs and applications in audio
processing. Additionally, as a hobby, I enjoy blueprint reading and drafting, and ] am currently working on my own
personal set of sci-fi vehicle blueprints using 2D drafting software.
