Continuing to follow cost effective measures adopted by previous selectmen in 1990-1993 to improve cash flow, the town is benefiting now, resulting in less need to borrow money. The town's improved position in this area can be attributed to the cooperative work of our Tax Collector, Town Treasurer, Town Administrator and Financial Assistant. All four deserve high praise. Budget restraints lead to difficult times for all involved and in particular, our town employees. Two years have passed since town employees have received a salary increase and town services remain the same. Town employees deserve special recognition. Each citizen should take the opportunity to express thanks and help develop pride with employment in Plymouth, NH. The Selectmen would like to focus here on completed and ongoing projects of 1992: HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT: Reconstruction of 1,250 feet ofThurlow Street in late Summer. Completion of comprehensive road and sidewalk plans for maintenance and construction. RAILROAD DEPOT: The Railroad Depot renovation is underway and due to be ready for Senior Center occupancy in the Spring of 1993. The Town accepted a $700,000 grant for the Grafton County Senior Citizen Council to provide a Senior Center. PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT: Larry Gibson was appointed Director in October 1992. Thanks to Peggy Grass for filling in due to the absence of a Director during the Summer. PLYMOUTH STATE COLLEGE: Continued discussions relative to cooperative efforts and financial relationship. Computer improvements at Plymouth Police Department and proposed improvements at town hall. PLYMOUTH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: Helping to enhance business development and vitality with over 130 members. Leadership with Community Renaissance Program. TOWN HALL: The Town Hall Committee has deliberated for 18 months and has recommended that the District Court be vacated from the building and that $10,000 be appropriated to update the space needs, develop accurate cost estimates for renovation without the Court component. The Committee will propose a renovation plan for the 1994 Town Meeting. HITCHINER PROPERTY: The town-owned facility on Highland Street (formerly called "Hitchiner") has certainly been the subject of much discussion in 1992. Currently, the PREDCO is seeking a Business Finance Authority loan to stabilize the building and market it as a commercial site. The Selectmen has also agreed to extend a parcel of land at "Hitchiner" to the State for a new District Court facility. The town now gains $10,000 in annual rental revenue from two tenants at "Hitchiner". Striving to improve the day to day operation of town government, the Selectmen have placed the following questions on the town warrant: Article #2: Town Manger form ofgovernment Article #13: appointed Overseer ofPublic Welfare A yes vote to each of the above warrant articles would lead to a more responsive town government.
