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.

CIP

Capital Improvement Program: the plan for buildings, roads, equipment, and other long-lasting purchases over the next several years, and how to pay for them.

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.
