City Council to hold regular meeting, joint workshop with School Board Wednesday
posted on 7/25/2022
The City Council will hold a joint workshop with the School Board before its regular meeting on Wednesday, July 27, to discuss changing the budget adoption date to an earlier date next year.
Moving the budget adoption to an earlier date would assist the school district in advertising new positions earlier in the year and help eliminate budget uncertainty for district staff. Moving the budget adoption earlier would also require an earlier adoption for the annual Capital Improvements Program, also a topic of discussion at the joint workshop. The workshop begins a 6 p.m. and will be held in City Hall’s Council Conference Room. Click here for the complete agenda.
At its 7 p.m. regular meeting, the Council will hold two public hearings and consider a resolution that would condemn “racial and religious supremacist activities.”
The resolution, sponsored by Ward 2 Councilor Robert Hinkel, states that “recent racial and religious supremacist activity has occurred in Dover, New Hampshire and elsewhere with the intent to foment hatred and incite fear, intimidation, and the threat of violence” and that “fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all people, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or place of origin, is a core value and priority of the City of Dover.” The resolution requests the city council to condemn “bigotry, discrimination, oppression, racism, and xenophobia in the strongest possible terms.”
The public hearings are on two resolutions that would authorize the acceptance and expenditure of grants. One is a New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services grant on behalf of the Governor’s Commission on Alcohol and other Drugs. The other is a New Hampshire of Transportation’s Office of Highway Safety equipment grant. Both grants would be utilized by the Dover Police Department.
The regular meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in City Hall’s Council Chambers. Click here for the complete agenda and materials.
