Sapareto Rockingham County 2010 Annual Report Page 2 of 126 ROCKINGHAM COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Chair Maureen Barrows, District 2 Vice-Chair Katharin K. Pratt, District 1 Clerk C. Donald Stritch, District 3 As Rockingham County Commissioners, it is our duty to provide essential services to the taxpayers of Rockingham County in the most efficient, cost effective manner. The structure of county government today is modeled after a basic three-branch system of government. The County Commissioners make up the Executive Branch, which is responsible for the day-to-day operations of county government, in both fiscal and policy matters. The Board of Commissioners is responsible for all county departments and exercise budgetary oversight of all county finances. Other responsibilities include the management of county buildings, and land, and personnel. Authority to permanently hire, discipline, and discharge a county employee is solely the responsibility of the County Commissioners unless otherwise provided for. The County has been cited on numerous occasions as one of the best locations to call home and establish a thriving business. The United States Census Bureau estimated the population of the county to be 299,276 and the trend continues to show population growth. This represents a 7.9% increase in the population since 2000. Rockingham County continued its active role in Community Development Block Grants in 2010. Two grants for Crossroads House and an economic development grant for Coastal Economic Development Corporation were managed by the county. The Crossroads House community development grant is for replacement of the homeless shelter family building with anticipated completion in 2011. In 2009, the federal government changed regulations and the permitting process for the fishing industry. This has a major economic impact on our seacoast region. With the assistance of the Coastal Economic Development Corporation in Hampton, an economic development grant was awarded to assist our local fishermen. We are pleased to announce a grant award from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for an Energy Efficiency and Conversation Block Grant from the United States Department of Energy in the amount of $1,966,700 for a biomass heating project on the complex. The project broke ground in 2010 with a projected completion date of spring 2011. This heating project will change our heating source at the complex from #6 oil to wood pellets with substantial heating cost savings. In 2010, the county also managed grant awards from the New Hampshire Highway Safety Agency, United States Department of Justice, and the New Hampshire Department of Safety. The Commissioners continue working diligently to reduce the pre-trial population at the jail with teamwork from the Rockingham County Human Services Department, the House of Corrections, and the Rockingham County Attorney’s Office. These initiatives are having a positive impact. Finances are in order and Moody’s rating service has once again awarded Rockingham County the highest short term borrowing rating. Moody’s expressed concern regarding the long term effects on county finances from cost shifting by the State of New Hampshire to the counties. In a collaborate effort with the New Hampshire Association of Counties, the Commissioners continue to work diligently against increasing unfunded mandates by the legislature.
