REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN

President Wilshire

| am going to make a few remarks and thank you for indulging me here. | would like to thank
everyone here for their interest in their City Government. As much as | appreciate this role and
as grateful as | am for it, the greatest reward | have been given is the opportunity to continue
doing what | love to do and that is serving the people of Nashua.

As we leave here today I’d like to ask each of you to take a moment to think about the
important accolades that the Mayor mentioned that the City has received. We don’t get
recognized for our Triple A Bond Rating or Being the Safest City or Best Place to Raise a
Family by doing nothing. We are recognized due to our talented and hardworking employees,
the administration and the thoughtful policies set by this Board.

| would be remiss if | didn’t mention my late colleague Brian McCarthy; this is my eighth
inauguration but my first one without Brian. He was a friend, a mentor and | know we all
continue to miss him and his vision for the City.

| look forward to continuing to work to make Nashua a more attractive place for businesses,
arts and culture and to make sure that we are spending our money efficiently and effectively.
Congratulations to the Board, to Mayor Donchess and to all elected officials for stepping up to
do the work of the people of Nashua. Thank you all.
