Board of Aldermen 01-12-2021 Page 9

It is not mandated but we are hoping that as many people that can will be vaccinated so that we can create
the herd immunity that is needed so that we can see COVID slow down and just be done. | think we are all
kind of done with this. And so as we move into this next Phase of Vaccine Allocation, this will help us get
there quicker. | know that we have some our Board of Health Members that are on. President Wilshire, if
there’s time for them to give some comment to some of this information as well as the impact that we
expect to see going forward.

President Wilshire

We would be happy to take comment from the Board of Health; in fact, encourage it. So anyone? Chuck
Cappetta.

Charles Cappetta, M.D., Board of Health

Hi, | am Chuck Cappetta, Pediatrician in Nashua and Board of Health Member. Madam President thank
you and the Mayor and you wonderful Aldermen, thank you for all your help these last few months on this
very difficult and devastating illness. | can only, and of course, thank Bobbie and Angela for their hard work
and the Public Health Department for all they are putting together, these slides. On behalf of our fellow
members, | just can’t emphasize as a frontline worker, that the fight isn’t over. | think the vaccine rollout
was a big step but every day it’s just what we have said here; handwashing, social distancing, mask
wearing, can’t be forgotten. We have seen with our discussion over the past few weeks over the curfew
and things like that, that we are seeing some of the effects of what has happened and the two Holidays that
it brought. So | thank the Board again for having that great discussion; that was very good.

But | think individually we be held accountable both at the household level and our individual bubbles. |
think we have to expand those bubbles only very and judiciously and carefully. I’ve heard today even in my
office, OH once we get the vaccine maybe we will be able to go see everybody. And | think that’s the
problem here, | think it’s really a fallacy what the vaccine will do. It’s a great step, but it’s not going to
protect everybody. So its each individual’s right to have the vaccine and take it, but | think we just need to
keep pushing through; it’s a marathon not a 100 yard dash. And at the School Level at the individual
clinics, on the front line back line and everything in-between, | think we are just blessed that we have an
opportunity to maybe make a change here but we are a long way to go. So that would be first initial
comments. | am happy to take questions, too.

President Wilshire
Anyone have questions for Dr. Cappetta? Alderman Dowd?
Alderman Dowd

Yes, | am not sure who can answer this but are we getting the amount of vaccine that we expected? And |
noticed that there’s a lot of places like in Massachusetts where they are setting up centers for giving the
vaccines. They are making exceptions as to who can give the shots and they are giving everyone their first
does rather than waiting for the vaccines for second dose. Can you address any of those as to how we are
addressing that either in New Hampshire or specifically Nashua?

Dr. Cappetta

| probably would allow my colleague Bobbie in helping with that answer but | also speak for Dartmouth. |
just think we, since I’ve been at Dartmouth for 30 years, we have just been told that the State didn’t get
their allocated amount that, | don’t know how the process happened. But | think everybody asked for a
certain quota but given Federal Mandates or things down the pathway | think every State is witnessing the
decrease in the amount they expected and now having second Plan B’s and Plan C’s come into play.

Board of Aldermen 01-12-2021 Page 10

So | guess | can only say how much | know as much as anyone else reads in the papers, but that’s what
we have recently heard through the Dartmouth System that we didn’t get what we thought but we are going
to still make it work as much as we can. But the rest of it I'd probably ask Bobbie if she can comment on
any other roll out of vaccine that she knows.

Director Bagley

Thank you Dr. Cappetta. So with the expectation of the allocation per State, has turned out to be a little
differently than what was expected. But with what we have received, what our State is trying to do is roll
the vaccine out to our regions according to the risk factors that have been identified and according to some
of the data that shows where the highest rates of cases are and the highest rates of deaths are occurring.
The importance of using a strategy to vaccinate those that are highest risk led our State to stick to the
allocation of making sure our healthcare workers and first response were vaccinated first because that will
help us preserve our workforce and then followed by those populations that are at highest risk for
hospitalizations and death were key in the strategy of vaccine allocation.

They are doing it be regions and so each region gets to send to the State on a weekly basis how much
vaccine they actually think they can get into arms because they don’t to waste vaccine. And so as Clinics
are planned, we have our fixed site clinic over at Nashua High South. What happens is that folks go in and
they register, they get a certain number of people registered and then they do the vaccinations based on
how many people have registered for that particular site for that day. The opportunity to expand clinics is
coming on quickly because there is an expectation that there is going to be a large number of vaccine that
is going to be distributed across the country within the next couple of weeks to catch up because the Feds
do realize that that rollout did not turn out the way that they expected. And so more vaccine will be coming
to New Hampshire as well as to other States as well.

And then as that does occur, there’s going to be a pick up in the clinics that are scheduled across the State
as well and vaccine will be made available at different places. So Primary Care Providers, once they are
onboarded, once they are set up in the system, will be able to administer vaccinations. We at the Health
Department, because we are the lead for our Public Health Region and Greater Nashua Region, we will be
able to do more clinics. And all of the planning around this has started to kick off. In fact | got a call from
the State just this evening asking what did we need at our Health Department to start planning some of
these clinics. And so that discussion was a good discussion and so we will be working with our partners at
our Federally Qualified Health Center, you know, like Dartmouth, Harbor Homes, Lamprey and we will be
getting some clinic sites set up. We have had some of the Churches in our community volunteer some of
their sites as well. And we’ve had some volunteers actually get in contact with us that are nurses and
physicians that are retired that will help. And so we should see something within the next 2 to 4 weeks kind
of expand and take off relatively quickly.

President Wilshire
Does anyone else have questions? Alderman Klee?
Alderman Klee

Thank you, Madam President. This question is more directed to Director Bagley. Director Bagley at last
night’s Human Affairs Committee Meeting you mentioned about setting up these clinics and so on and the
registry that will be having for this next phase, kind of the revamping of the registry. And | asked you a
question at that time about would the vaccines be given at primary care offices and so on. | was contacted
by someone from a primary care office today who told me that they don’t have the resources. If that’s the
case, two questions here, can the City pick up that slack. And my next question is how do those who go
into the 1B category, how would they register, how would that be? | know the registration isn’t out yet but
how will they notify, will it be on our City’s Website or will it be on the State’s Website?

Board of Aldermen 01-12-2021 Page 11

Director Bagley

Thank you, Alderman Klee for that question. So with the allocation to primary care provider's offices, that is
going to be made available to them if they choose to. So we do know that that’s going to be a heavy lift for
primary care providers, because they still have other work that they have to do with folks coming for other
issues. So for those who choose to sign up to administer vaccine, they will actually get that. As far as the
registration, there is still a system that is being used, it’s called AVANS, and then there’s another system
that is being set up called the VMS, Vaccine Administration Systems. People will be able to register
through those sites and there will be a link. So now when | say this, it doesn’t mean it is going to be
available tomorrow, alright. So there will be a link, there will be some communication from the Department
of Health & Human Services over communication that comes out where people will be able to go on-line
and will be able to register on a link. And then once they do that, they will also be able to pick which sites
they might want to be vaccinated at based on what is being published. So we will have the opportunity to
set up sites in the community, again, working with some of our community partners. The expectation would
be that we would work with places like Dartmouth, like Lamprey, Harbor Care and do some vaccine
planning so that we can have some of these clinics available throughout the community.

It’s all still in the, | want to say it’s in the planning phases because of the fact that we will have to get that
link set up. And once the State has that set up, that information will be pushed out and we will be able to
communicate it. We will have it on our Website as well as it will be on the State’s Website and all of our

partnering organizations will have that link as well.

Alderman Klee

Just one quick follow-up, comment?
President Wilshire

Alderman Klee?

Alderman Klee

Madam President? Thank you. Director Bagley, you guys put out, your office puts out a great kind of
weekly news bulletin type of thing and | really appreciate that. Could we make sure that something like this
gets put into that? | know personally | send it out, | encourage other people to read it as such. So if it’s
there and then a link is on the website | think it gives more opportunity. | get daily questions from
constituents and you know I’ve told them to check NH.GOV and do this and so on. But they don’t want to
hear that, they really want to be able to so if they are looking for it and know it’s going to be there | think it
would be a great idea. And that’s just a comment; you guys are doing phenomenal work, thank you. Thank
you, Madam President.

President Wilshire

You're welcome. Does anyone else have any questions? Alderman Lopez, go ahead.

Alderman Lopez

Ok, so first question for Director Bagley, how long have you owned a flying dog and then second question
for Dr. Cappetta, with regards to the timeframe for immunity, my understanding is that the inoculation
should last for a year and that people are starting to say they may be able to get a booster shot to get
another year out of that? Are we going to have to worry about a resurgence of this next year. Is that
something that we should be thinking about now?

Board of Aldermen 01-12-2021 Page 12

Dr. Cappetta

Well | would it’s possible because viruses mutate and unfortunately the vaccines that we have for the
normal virus, the normal flu shot every year have to be looked at because of the ability of vaccines or
viruses to change how they make themselves up and therefore the one shot last year wasn’t good. A
couple of years ago we didn’t have one that was as effective than past flu shots. So | guess | also know
that Dr. Granok is on the line tonight, if he could comment about the efficacy of the vaccine. | don’t mean to
put you on the spot Dr. Granok but if you’re there, but that would be great.

Alexander Granok, M.D., Board of Health

Yeah | am here, you'll have to deal with the disembodied voice. Yeah so for the thought that this will last
for a year is based largely on mathematical models with how long antibodies persist in people’s
bloodstreams. So we really don’t know. | think an annual booster for that kind of virus especially when it’s
still prevalent in the world is likely. I’ve heard estimates that on a global scale, we won't be out of this
pandemic until probably 2023. So if the virus is present in the world, it is highly likely that we are going to
have to keep a certain high level of immunity in our communities. So | can readily see that boosters will be
needed. Whether that changes slightly from year to year, is not known at this point. But as | heard Dr.
Fauci describing within a week or so ago that the technology to bring this vaccine on-line is very robust. So
if they have to change the vaccine for next year, they can do it within a couple of months. So | think
boosters are likely because the virus is probably not going to go away by the end of this coming year.

Alderman Lopez

Thank you.

President Wilshire

Thank you. You all set Alderman Lopez?

Alderman Lopez

Well if ’'m wrong then any of the doctors in the room feel free to answer it, but | think one of the takeaways
from this is it easier to prevent an outbreak than to deal with one. So when things start to come up like, Uh
oh, we have a new version spreading and it is in this region, we should all be paying very close attention.
President Wilshire

OK, Dr. Storace you look like you have something to say.

Anthony Storace, D.M.D., Board of Health

Yeah | was just waiting for everybody else to get whatever off their chest. The one thing | wanted to
mention is, | got the vaccine today, my arm is still working so that’s good news there. | also would like to
comment on high regards for the New Hampshire National Guard who were administering; a good group of
guys there was only men there except for the nurse who wasn’t with the National Guard. They were really
instrumental in making people feel safe and | encourage everyone to get the vaccine.

Since the topic was brought up, we have three variants that are already in the United States, probably even
more; | heard as many as five. UK, South Africa and then | think Nigeria, the UK one you already all know
about, that’s shut down England, they believe that the vaccine that we have hopefully will be able to take
care of that. So the thing is even though you get the vaccine, the game isn’t over. You still have to wear a
mask, do the social distancing, even if it’s just to remind other people that that’s what they should do
especially if they haven’t had the vaccine.

I'd also like to compliment the Public Health Department; they are working constantly on this. | can’t even
tell you the number of hours; the Mayor himself is on the partners phone call on Monday morning. In the
beginning we had phone calls at 8:00 every day, 7 days a week for weeks. So people are really working
hard on this and trying to keep our communities as healthy as possible. But it is a virus just like the flu and
as Dr. Cappetta said, one year we had a flu vaccine where unfortunately we didn’t get the results that we
wanted because we guessed wrong on the virus that ended up being here. So we will try to keep you up-to-
date on everything; feel free to ask questions. Alderman Lopez has been great as a liaison to our Board
and we appreciate that as well. Any questions?

President Wilshire

Does anyone have questions for Dr. Storace? That's why you waited until the end? Well I'd like to thank
each of you Dr. Cappetta, Dr. Granok and Dr. Storace for being with us this evening. We value you as a
Board and thank you very much for being here tonight and for everything you are doing to keep the City
safe as well as Director Bagley and her great crew of people who like you said, worked tirelessly.
Everywhere | go | see them working; it’s pretty amazing. So thank you all very much.

Dr. Storace

Does that mean we can get a raise?

President Wilshire

Ah....

Dr. Storace

Thank you guys.

President Wilshire

OK, moving on we have Recognition Period.

RECOGNITION PERIOD

“Whereas the public art project, Brave New World, resilience in the time of COVID inspires unity and peace
with its uplifting tone. This collaborate project was created by 80 Nashua students, Rodney Coffin, art

Thomas, art teacher from Brentwood Academy. It is a much-needed ray of light during this dark time and

Whereas displayed on a chain-link fence outside Amherst Street Elementary School, Brave New World is a
series of positive messages in the form of signs and images saying things like “Teach Peace”, “love”, “work
hard dream big” “You got this” “Be Brave” and many others. The exhibit is meant to encourage positive
thoughts, motivate and remind us of our community’s resilience as we continue to navigate the COVID-19
pandemic and

Whereas the students and teachers were inspired by the “Choose Love” movement, particularly its Social-

citizens who exemplify what Nashua is all about.”

President Wilshire

Pretty awesome; thank you Mayor. And thank you to all of you who were involved in that project. | drive by
that beautiful display every day and it just makes me smile. It’s pretty awesome, so thank you all for
everything you’ve done. | think it’s a nice thing for the citizens of Nashua to see and drive by. It’s very heart
warming. So thank you to all of you; teachers, students, everyone and congratulations.

Robin Peringer, Nashua Art Teacher

And thank you very much for the recognition, | know that we all greatly appreciate that and we are glad that
it can lift your spirits because that was the intent. So thank you very much.

From: Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director
Re: Public Information and Transparency

There being no objection, President Wilshire accepted the communications and placed them on file.

PERIOD FOR PUBLIC COMMENT RELATIVE TO ITEMS EXPECTED TO BE ACTED UPON THIS
EVENING

President Wilshire
Ms. Colquhoun?

Laura Colquhoun Yes. It’s Laura Colquhoun from 30 Greenwood Drive. I'd like to go on the record that |
think Ms. Kleiner’s Memo in the Agenda tonight is a joke. If you call any other town and/or city, they are
much more transparent than the City of Nashua and they are willing to give information to any resident in a
timely fashion and this is not something within the City of Nashua is currently doing. Since the City has
hired Ms. Kleiner her number one job has been to hide information from residents. Her updating the City
Website has been a total disaster. It has been 15 months and the City still cannot get it right. Ms. Kleiner
has made it more difficult for the average resident to seek information on the City Website. As of today, the
City’s website is still showing 2019 property cards even though they closed the system back in October of
2020. Is Ms. Kleiner trying to make it impossible for the residents to file an abatement on their property
taxes this year?

Recently Ms. Kleiner showed her inexperience at her job by stating that the new Chief of Assessing had
ethical standards including fair treatment to coworkers before fair treatment to residents. The Chief's
number one job is to make sure that the Nashua Taxpayers have fair assessments and show no favoritism
towards anyone. Bottom line is the Chief's job is to make sure that Assessing is running smoothly and
correctly and that he has ethical standards and in dealing with all Nashua taxpayers because it is the
taxpayer who is paying his salary. Thank you.

President Wilshire
Anyone else that wants to give public comment?

Laurie Ortolano 41 Berkeley Street. Hi, I’d like to just speak briefly about the transparency chart. The
Mayor’s is correct, there are 19 boxes checked off in Nashua and the next community with the highest
number of boxes is 8 and | think that’s Hudson. But | can tell you, | would much rather work with Hudson,
Manchester and Keene than | would with Manchester. Because what is on a website doesn’t necessarily
indicate the true transparency of a Department. And the Mayor underestimates what the people factor, the
human factor of transparency and that’s what we are missing in our Assessing Department as well as some
serious staffing issues. You know and to be fair, 13 of those boxes were checked off when John Duhamel
was there and probably when Angelo — John didn’t add anything — Angelo Marino was there. Angelo
Marino was pretty progressive about open records getting GIS up and having those property search tools
and those extra buttons on our website.

So we still led the way with those two past chiefs and yet we got into all this trouble. So you know | can tell
you Manchester only has 6 boxes, but | call up to the Chief there and | ask for an excel copy of their sales
analysis spread sheet and | get it in like 30 minutes. In the City of Nashua, it took me 30 days and the Legal
Office said they had to review trying to find an exemption to prevent me from having it. | mean that’s what
they were doing, were looking a way to keep it from me. | do the same thing in Keene, the same thing in
Hudson. | can get on the phone and have a 30 minute talk with somebody and | can tell you what | learn in
30 minutes is probably equivalent to 25 Right-to-Knows that | have to do in this City.

So it’s really been unpleasant. And that’s not transparency to me, those boxes. And Ms. Colquhoun is
right, the 2020 cards aren’t on-line and it’s unprecedented that that data isn’t available to the public now.

It's never been this late, ever. And | actually asked Ms. Walley about that and she said she couldn’t think of
a time that that had happened. We are halfway through abatement season and we don’t have access to
the cards for your abatement. And | would have never done a software update. | think it was one of the
biggest mistakes the Board of Aldermen made to approve that with no Chief on board, with a high turnover
IT Department and we are short-staffed in the office. You took on one heck of a project that quite frankly
whether you ran AP5 or AP4 | wouldn’t have known the difference and | still don’t know the difference
except that | feel that some of the reporting in the new software is less transparent than the old software
and | am kind of disappointed with that.

So you know whatever the software problems are, Ms. Colquhoun is correct, 15 months has just been a
long time. And these property record cards aren't correct as they stand printed and the proper data isn’t
even up yet. So let’s not forget what people mean to transparency please and let’s try to get City Hall
opened.

President Wilshire

Thank you. Is there anyone else from the public that would like to speak? Seeing none, Communications
requiring final approval.
