Terms used here

tax cap

The limit in Derry's Town Charter on the town's budget, apart from the school district's. The Town Council may plan on a property tax rate no higher than the previous year's equalized rate, raised by the average change in the Northeast's Consumer Price Index, and spending can't exceed what that rate and the town's other revenue bring in. By a two-thirds vote of the whole Council, it can exceed the cap for one year, or leave bond payments out of it.

Chair Pro-Tem

The councilor the Town Council chooses for a year to preside when the Chair is absent. The Chair, chosen for a year at the Council's first regular meeting after the March town election, presides over the Council and is the town's ceremonial head.

consent agenda

Routine items, such as minutes and reports, voted on together in one motion without discussion. A member can ask to take any of them up separately.

non-public session

A part of a meeting closed to the public. New Hampshire's Right-to-Know Law (RSA 91-A) allows it only for certain reasons, such as buying or selling property, personnel matters, or labor negotiations.

RSA

Revised Statutes Annotated, New Hampshire's state laws.

tabled

Set aside by a vote, to take up later. A tabled item comes back when the board votes to take it off the table.
