Absent: Representatives Bolster and Stuart. Also present: Greg Goddard, Gunstock General Manager, County Administrator Shackett, members of the public and the press. Call to order/Public hearing on RAN (revenue anticipation note) for Gunstock: Chair Alida Millham called the full county convention meeting to order at 7:15 PM and opened up the public hearing on the Revenue Anticipation Note request from the Gunstock Recreation Area. Chair Millham then opened the floor to Greg Goddard, Gunstock General Manager for an over view and updates. Mr. Goddard stated that Gunstock had an excellent year. Offering a number of different activities on their venue has certainly added to their revenue. They are currently doing lot of maintenance projects and general improvements throughout the area. Also, Mr. Goddard updated the County Convention that HB 253 passed the NH House and the Senate and he thanked the members, particularly Rep. Pilliod for championing this. Mr. Goddard stated that it has been 5 years since the resorts master plan was updated. A multi season recreation plan will be part of this process, which will be conducted over the next 6-9 months. Work has begun on the new lift that was approved; all the parts are on site and are ready to be assembled. All of the necessary concrete has been poured and they will be ready to move forward with that project. Mr. Goddard then requested approval from the Convention to borrow up to $950,000 in anticipation of next season’s revenues. Mr. Goddard stated that in 2008, Gunstock only used $850,000 and believes that is the same amount that they anticipate to use in 2009. Representative Merry asked Mr. Goddard what was the percent of interest projected. Mr. Goddard responded that $10,000 was budgeted, but current rates are around 2 percent which would most likely end up Belknap County Commissioners 103
around $2,000 - $3,000. Madam Chair asked if there was any public input. Tom Tardif, Laconia: When will the current bonded debt be paid off and how much is it? Answer: About $7.6 million left in current bonded debt, majority which are old bonds (the two new ones were in 2003 and 2008). The old ones are 20 years bonds and those will be paid off in the near future. Lisa Morin, Laconia: Stated that the Conservation District built a boardwalk for the Area. Doug Lambert, Gilford: Questioned on the budgeting the figure for depreciation on the RAN. Answer: Gunstock in not a municipal model (like the county) but rather a private model in that they expense very expensive assets over time and show the cost through depreciation. With no further public input Madam Chair asked if the Convention was ready for the motion. M/Pilliod, S/Johnson “Pursuant to the authority of Chapter 399:15, 1959 NH Laws as amended, to authorize the Belknap County Treasurer to issue notes, on the concurrence of not less than four members of the Gunstock Area Commission, in the amount not to exceed Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($950,000), on such terms and conditions as shall be negotiated by the Gunstock Area Commission.
