SUBJECT: City and School Retirement Trust Funds

The purpose of this communication is to provide clarification in connection with the
establishment of the City and Schools non-capital reserve funds created to cover retirement
expenses.

R-0068 was adopted by the Board of Aldermen on June 27, 2000 as follows:

RESOLVED by the 8oard of Aldermen of the City of Nashua that a Non-Capital
Reserve Fund is established in the amount of $300,000 to cover retirement expenditures in
excess of yearly budgeted retirement appropriations. The fund may continue to increase, funds
permitting, to a level which is deemed appropriate by the Comptroller. Funds may be
transferred from this account into appropriate departmental accounts, only after administrative
review by the Mayor, President of the Board of Aldermen, Treasurer and Comptroller. The
Board of Aldermen will receive written notification prior to the transfer of funds. Any amount
expended from this account will be replenished as allowed, funds permitting, on a yearly basis.

The intent of this legistation was to provide a mechanism to deal with employee final
separation pay (i.e. accrued vacation and accrued sick time) upon retirement. in order to
qualify, the employee must meet the retirement eligibility rules of the New Hampshire
Retirement System (NHRS} and the Board of Public Works Retirement System (BPW).

Subject: Did you get this?

!.Did you get this?

2.. Are you going to recommend that your City Clerk not just sit there at these meetings with her
assistant and get reprimanded by me and that of she to do nothing about it?! If she will not call
the C.O.P.S. to enforce the law (RSA Ch. 444:6) to either call/ write +/or visit The "Internal
Revenue Service, 410 Amherst Street, #350, Nashua, N.H. 03060" on her own, then would you
please spur her on, or contact the Police Chief directly (rather than indirectly through her), to get
this Report / "Record" / “account” that is required by the "shall" word in that statute that it
MUST be filed with your City Clerk so that I can go there to read it. [ RSA Ch. 91-A:4,IV

http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/V1/91-A/91-A-4.htm * J

I'll repeat again that of at: http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/XLI/444/444-6.htm =" 444:6
Record. -— The holder of the lien shall cause a copy of such notices and an affidavit of service,

" Notice the "Source" going back to 1865. WHEN did this McLaughlin group of
Transportation workers under the MAYFLOWER Movers flag first get started with these
auctions? Year 19__? and did they EVER file such a “Record” of an "account"? Surely you
have had #___ such auctions over the years, decades, and now into three centuries!!! by other(s)
too. # WHO and WHEN? plus WHERE? ___ + + Plus: WHEN did your
law-enforcement officers there get so lazy? WHY do you let them of these lien holders continue

to avoid or evade the law!? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionarv/avoid = "

Synonym Discussion of avoid

escape, avoid, evade, elude, shun, eschew mean to get away or keep away from something.
escape stresses the fact of getting away or being passed by not necessarily through effort or by
conscious intent <nothing escapes her sharp eyes>. avoid stresses forethought and caution in
keeping clear of danger or difficulty <try to avoid:past errors>. evade implies adroitness,
ingenuity, or lack of scruple in escaping or avoiding <evaded the question by changing the
subject>.

You too in the evading mode? of to what? acknowledge correspondence FINALLY! and then
what? "placed on file"? Come on! Let's get with it. Get with The Program: The LAW! Make
whoever there of in your city has this responsibility to get WHO-ever it is to file this “accopunt"/
"Record" Report and with the written apology that they did FAIL to RSA Ch. 444:3 post it too.

Notice of such sale shall be given by posting notices thereof in 2 or more public places in the
town where the property is situate 14 days at least before the sale, and, if the value of the

The "you people" phrase is upon your fellow Aldermen: Dowd and Lopez to a greater degree as
they did get my prior correspondence, plus the City Clerk and her assistant and The C.O.P.:
Chief of Police too, and hopefully me to not call ALL of you a "bunch of crooks" too as | did
verbally this past Tuesday night to these people worse than: creeps!
http://www.dictionarv.com/browse/creeps " Origin of creeps Expand

so called from the effect on the animal's gait; see creep, -s” “ & creep as a verb: "to move or
advance slowly or gradually: “ & noun: "Slang, an obnoxious, disturbingly eccentric, deviant,
or painfully introverted person. "

What say you? that you are not deviants because why?
http://www.dictionarv.com/browse/deviant " deviating or departing from the norm;
characterized by deviation :" of your “norm” there is to see the law and look the other way!?
Come on, "You have got to be shitting me!?" http://www.dictionarv.com/browse/deviation
“departure from a standard or norm. “ http://www.dictionary.com/browse/standard = " a rule or
principle that is used as a basis for judgment: " as in: "The Rule of Law" =
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of law " The rule of law is the legal principle that law
should govern a nation, as opposed to being governed by arbitrary decisions of individual
government officials. It primarily refers to the influence and authority of law within society,
particularly as a constraint upon behaviour, including behaviour of government officials.” "

What we have here is a situation, as you know who used to say in that Paul] Newman movie.
From the above I highlight: "arbitrary decisions of individual government officials." That being a
violation of Article 17(2) of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights also:

http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/index.html " No one shall be
arbitrarily deprived of his property."

I've visited your city three times on this issue now: of to the auction, the Police Commission and
now you City Aldermen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alderman " Similar titles exist in
Germany and in Scandinavian countries, such as the German Altester, the Swedish Alderman and
the Danish O/derman, which all mean “elder man" or “wise man". “ & " United States. ..A
"board of aldermen" is the governing executive or legislative body of many cities and towns in
the United States. The term is sometimes used instead of city council, ... Some cities, such as
Chicago, mix the two terms, thereby having a city council composed of aldermen. Some states
such as Pennsylvania established aldermen in the 19th century to serve as local judges for minor
infractions. Pennsylvania's aldermen were phased out in the early 20th century. Depending on
the jurisdiction, an alderman could have been part of the legislative or judicial local government

"

So going back to: http://nashuanh.gov/514/Board-of-Aldermen for your "mug shots" (:-) and

more, I find for: June Caron = http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/news/935793-196/alderman-
ward-7.html " "

Occupation, education: Retired after 41 years ofiservice to the city’s Parks and Recreation
Department as superintendent of recreation. Graduate of Nashua High School, class of: 1965.

Political history: State representative for Ward 7, 2009-10. Ward 7 selectman for over 15 years."

So you're BOTH that of legislative, as in your set-up of the City Ordinance on Tuesday with the
vote for the local Housing Code AND that of having an ENFORCEMENT officer for such (Code
Enforcer) to see to it that all buildings (homes; and tenant dwellings for their landlords) be up-to
Code, and so there also the State statutes too, and so for only the State Police to enforce? No, the
Article 28-a political sub-divisions too, of the cities and towns
http://www.nh.gov/constitution/billofrights.html with the duty of the City Clerk to accept these
RSA 444:6 "account"ings and when WHO-ever is alerted to, as by me alerting YOU all (with
#x-number heads of hydra trying to pass-the-buck to the another department) of me alerting that
this act was never done, and you just sit "on your ass” and do nothing! and you expect me to just
shut up after talking to the 5-minute max, and you say what? Take a hike? a long hike on the
pike of\OUT of the city never to return as you do not like what I have to say of somebody there
in government is lazy? Well YOU are: "you people". You're not only lazy, but corrupt. Of not
creeping at a snail's pace to see to it that those entering or already within the boundary of your
city comply with the law, or be made to face the consequences. You allow that I.R.S. "nest" to
fester there at ", 410 Amherst Street, #350, " WHY is that? The Legislators put these statutes
on-the-books so that people can get-away with not doping such!? Of allowed to get-away with it
of' WHO they are? Of "Uncle Sam” gives you so many government grants of a lot of $money
gifts that you do not want to upset him!? How disgusting! You people are really amazing! Wise
up!

Yours truly, - - - - - Joe Haas

* bec: or forward to a local attorney who might like to do an RSA Ch. 91-A in bringing the City
to court for YOU to have to eventually pay the $250+10 = $260 filing fee plus Sheriff delivery
fee and costs for mileage plus $ in attorney fees so that I can see this RSA Ch. 444:6
"account".

the "four consecutive public hearings" for today, starting at 9:00 a.m. for to collect:
$500,000; $500,000 + $500,000, + $12,000 = over $1.5 million from The CDFA

Good morning Commissioners:

This is to follow-up my visit as a Juror to your Court Building on this past Monday, June 13th @
8:50 a.m. + where you/we are the landlord for the tenant there who I did complain against that
same day as in violation of RSA Ch. 275:43,I to our Sheriff" Craig Wiggin "
http://belknapcountv.org/pages/belknapcountv_sheriff/index in person at his not "Department"
but "Office" here, for not paying me "within 8 days including Sunday after expiration of the
week in which the work is performed" of the first of three days of May 16th, and do add hereto
to him getting a copy of this too of that I did get a check for the first time but that not R.S.A.
Chapter 275:43,l(e) " on a financial institution convenient to the place of employment " in that it
was cut from The "Bank of America”.

Not that you need to know these details now other to write and say that my verbal now

written complaint too to Wiggin has fallen on deaf ears as he has done nothing so far and I don't
expect him to do anything unless maybe upon advise from you as like maybe there be an eviction
notice in the lease at page #__— whenever the tenant be charged with THEFT of which I did
report such to the State Dept. of Labor (cc: to them too) with a copy to your Administrator "
Debra A. Shackett " http://belknancountv.org/pages/belknapcounty_webdocs/deots.

That is WHERE and WHEN of this past Monday morning I did see your written 8.5 x 11-inch
Notice of this meeting today on the glass window at near the entrance door to the metal
detectors. If I had received my $pay I could have spent a portion thereof for more research, and
so this be a limited public comment from me at this time.

Yesterday afternoon I did visit The CDFA / "Community Development Finance Authority"
htto://www.nhcdfa.org/ at: "14 Dixon Ave. Suite 102 / Concord, NH 03301 Tel. 603: 717-9103
and spoke with the receptionist there of: "THERESA UPSTILL" (cc: to her now too with thanks)
as my interest is that" CDFA administers nearly $25 million in funding resources, which
includes a combination of state tax credits and federal Community Development Block Grant,
and Energy Reduction Funds." herein-after called: "federal funds".

I did ask her how I can get an accounting of such federal funds to be used here IF this or these
project applications to there be approved and she said of to start at this Public Hearing and that
THEN of AFTER-wards they will be officially brought to her attention by either this in writing
of by you HEAR-ing such too as maybe what? transcribed? , and so my proposal is for you to put
in as an amendment to such application(s) that of that they show you the evidence of the Feds
having not obtained a portion of such $money / "federal funds" legally and lawfully and that

until such statutes and laws be corrected that of THEN you/ we then to accept such grants not
tainted as like taken as "blood money"!

According to Title 28 U.S. Code Section 636(c)(1) of the Federal statutes at large a civil case can
NOT be "Removed" from a state / County Court to Federal court UNLESS there be the

"consent" of BOTH parties: Plaintiff AND Defendant. Such was NOT done in the Ed & Elaine
Brown https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_and_ Elaine Brown CIVIL case #2005-C-033
against then U.S. Attorney Thomas P. Colantuono in the Grafton County Superior Court as that
Seth Aframe, AUSA agent of "Uncle Sam" did ORDER then Clerk Robert Bruce Muh (since
retired to Littleton) to "Remove" the case as not to proceed further in one of our County Courts.
Such being a violation of N.H. Article 12 too as against the law!

htto://www.nh. gov/constitution/billofrights.html

Furthermore, in that the Feds under the word TAKE, the Feds took Ed & Elaine's personal
possessions to Nashua last November 2015 and by their Federal Auctioneer advertised such as a
PUBLIC Auction inviting ALL , but that when I did arrive there at 9:55 a.m. of five minutes
before the 10:00 a.m. start time I was BLOCKED from asserting my First Amendment Freedom
of Association with other bidders and my Right of Free Speech. Plus the Feds have still not
complied with RSA Ch. 444:6 http://www. gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/XLI/444/444-6.htm "
The holder of the lien shall cause a copy of such notices * and an affidavit of service, with an
account of the sale and of the fees and charges thereon, to be recorded in the books of the town
where the sale takes place. A certified copy of the record may be used in evidence. " Source:
1865. * "444:3 Posting Notice of Sale. — Notice of such sale shall be given by posting notices
thereof in 2 or more public places in the town where the property is situate 14 days at least
before the sale, and, if the value of the property exceeds $100, by publishing the notice. ”" There
was only that ONE notice on the "Uncle Sam” Treasury website.

Thus the items sold there and converted into “federal funds" are tainted with illegality! And so I
write and say that “we" not accept any such CDFA grants as containing ANY "federal funds"
until this and these "errors" be corrected, because as: Orlando A. Battista said:" An error
doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.”
http:/Awww.stresslesscountrv.com/mistakes-quotes/index.html &
httos://en.wikipedia.ora/wiki/Orlando_Alovsius Battista To correct would be by my and
your next Legislator to be a Re-presentative to file another LSR like the one of L.S.R.
