Authorizing the Mayor and City Treasurer to issue bonds not
to exceed the amount of one million one hundred thousand
dollars ($1,100,000) for the Public Health and Community
Services Division building renovations

Alderman-at-Large Lori Wilshire
Alderman Thomas Lopez

It is anticipated that the bond would be sold in FY 21/22 for a term
of twenty years. It is estimated the interest rate will be
approximately 3.5% and the total cost of the bond will be
approximately $1,504,250 including interest. The average annual
payment will be approximately $75,200 with the beginning years
at a higher amount. This request for an additional $1,100,000 was
not included in the city’s most current bond sales plan, which will
require additional funding.

ANALYSIS

This resolution authorizes the City to issue and sell general obligation bonds up to $1,100,000
for the Public Health and Community Services Division building renovations. This project can
be found in the FY 2019 Capital Improvements Program. With the approval of this bond the
total amount available for this renovation project will be three million six hundred and two
thousand dollars ($3,602,000).

Pursuant to Nashua City Charter §54-a, this resolution requires a “duly advertised public
hearing”. Also see NH RSA 33:9, which requires a 2/3 vote of all the members for passage of

this resolution.

This legislation should be referred to the Board of Health for its review and approval.

John Griffin, CFO

John Griffin, Chief Financial Officer for the City. This particular request resolution is to make things easier going
forward. As you recall, when we had a spending cap we were concerned about increasing appropriations in various
departments. The Fire Department had done an excellent job in securing $350,000.00 in fees from our ambulance
service. So last year when we prepared the budget, we weren’t sure if that particular plaintiff request to overturn the
local court’s order on the spending cap was going to end the way it did, which there is no spending cap.
