RE: Sheet 103/Lot 103 Almont St

In Accordance with RSA 231:133-a and NRO 190-213, the Board of Alderman have the
sole authority to assign or alter address numbers of buildings and other property along
any public or private way in the municipality. The New Hampshire Addressing Standards
Guide developed by NH E91 |defines the universal safety standards for addressing in NH.
The City of Nashua has been notified by the Division of Emergency Services and
Communications that collection of data has begun in the City in March of 2019.

The request before you is to assign a numerical address where no compliant address is
available with the current NH E911 Standards. This lot of record has been granted
variances from the City of Nashua Zoning Board of Adjustment to construct a single
family residence.

It is this Committee’s strong recommendation to continue to move forward in a way that
will not create a noncompliant situation for future residents. We recommend 26 Almont
St (sheet 103-lot 97) be renumbered to 24 Almont; 28 Almont St (sheet 103-lot 101) be
renumbered to 26 Almont; and sheet 103 lot 103 be numbered 28 Almont St.

We would further recommend a less compliant but acceptable numbering of sheet 103 lot
103 to 28 4 Almont St. We do not recommend using the letter A as an assigned address
as this is reserved for Accessory Dwelling Units.

Respectfully submitted,
Addressing Committee

Alderman Laws did contact me to let me know he would not be able to join us this evening. Mayor, do you wish
to address the Board this evening?

REMARKS BY THE MAYOR

Mayor Donchess

Yes, | am struggling with the computer, sorry. You went off the screen, a lot of things happened this. Yes,
Madam President, | would. | have a few items to cover and | will try to do that succinctly because | know there
is a lot of business tonight. First, one of our efforts to help small businesses recover from the COVID-19
closures was, of course, to expand the outdoor dining on Main Street consistent with the Governor's and State
Orders regarding restaurants. We got some comments about that which | really wanted to relate, because this
is definitely a group effort, a lot of people involved in making this happen. The first was from Michael Buckley,
who owns two of the restaurants downtown on Facebook. He said, “I would like to deliver an overdue
declaration of gratitude to the Mayor’s Office, the Aldermen of Nashua and especially Tim Cummings, for having
the vision and forethought to engineer on very short notice, the narrowing of Main Street to allow us to expand
during these difficult times. | Know | can speak for the entire restaurant community when | say it made an
incredible difference and probably saved many of us. | for one will be forever grateful’. Signed “Michael”.

Secondly there was not a post but a letter from Stella Blu which is a restaurant on East Pearl signed by Jeff Bois
one of the owners, which says, “I want to take a moment to express our appreciation” ... it is addressed to
Mayor Jim Donchess and Team which includes the Board of Aldermen, “I want to take a moment to express our
appreciation for your dedication and ongoing support for Nashua’s restaurants and small business community
throughout this pandemic. The steps you have taken to increase capacity and drive foot traffic has been a
game changer. | feel like | can speak for all of us downtown when | say thank you. The ability to come together
is essential for communities to heal, to innovate and to adapt. | am confident that Nashua will come back
stronger, more resilient and better than ever. | am Nashua born and bred and it is incredible to see and feel the
power of the community coming together through the various initiatives. Downtown Nashua has never been so
vibrant and in a short time it has truly become a destination. Thanks and keep up the good work”. Again,
addressed to basically the whole City.

| wanted to read those because this is a project that we worked on together, one which has had a major effect,
a major beneficial effect maybe has changed downtown forever and in the words of Michael Buckley “has
probably saved many of us”. So | thought you should hear those words directly because you were clearly very
involved.

Board of Aldermen 6-23-2020 Page 4

Secondly, Madam President, of course we have the Budget tonight. Now this is an issue which | know we are
all concerned about under the conditions that we are operating, no Budget is easy to make. People can
disagree and have reasonable points of view and still disagree about exactly how these issues should be
handled. But we are dealing with three major challenges at this point, looking at this Budget and the ones that
are coming, next year particularly. First, the rising healthcare costs; for two years of running up $3 million
dollars, that $3 million dollar figure is a 1 % on the tax rate or the combined 6 is 3% on the tax rate just by itself.
Now that was a condition when | proposed the Budget; | proposed the Budget back in February pre-COVID-19.
We knew we had to deal with healthcare, we have a plan to reduce costs over time involving changes to the
design of the healthcare plan that we offer. We have talked about the details of that before. Then we proposed
the Budget, you began to consider it through the Budget Committee and then we get hit with COVID-19 which is
an unprecedented disease, a pandemic, one that has had very large economic impacts. One that the economic
impacts are being deferred as a result of aid that the Federal Government is providing to the thousands and
thousands of unemployed workers in Nashua. So we haven't yet really seen the impact of that, but that
$600.00 a week aid is ending on July 31. So then we got COVID-19.

Then 10 days or so ago, the State hits us at exactly the wrong moment with up to, we are still estimating, but we
will see, up to about a $3 million dollar increase in pension costs. The pension bill that the City pays to the
State Pension System will increase by $3 million dollars, or $2.8 or something in that neighborhood. Again, a
major hit especially on top of the other two factors. | would like to say that we do not know what is coming with
this economic — we know the $2.8, the $3 million dollars, we think we can deal with healthcare costs if
everybody cooperates. But we don’t know what is coming with economics. Automobile registrations are down
to some degree. We expect that State Revenue could be off, we just don’t know. And not all of you have been
in City Government when a major recession hits if that’s coming, we don’t know. It has a significant impact on
revenues and assessments, commercial assessments which could go down and cause the tax rate to go up,
just based on that. So we don’t know what is coming.

Jon Griffin, CFO has done a Memo where he looks at future tax rates, the one after this year, next year Fall of
2021 using a set of very middle of the road projections and we could at some point talk about what exactly all
those factors are but those are the ones that create the tax rate. He projects at 7% increase for taxpayers. Now
that is, in my mind, obviously far too high, much more than we want. Therefore, before COVID | had proposed
2.25% budgets for all the major Budgets; Fire, Police, and Schools. 2% for Public Works and City Hall
Departments. But based upon input from our Police and Fire Departments, the Budget Committee has
recommended increases in their Budgets. Now | have concerns about any increase to anything under this set
of conditions. Of course we respect the Fire Department, the Police Department, we respect the Officers, we
appreciate the sacrifice that they have made to the City over the years. We are grateful for their service. But
we also need to factor in the interest especially in the uncertain times that we face of the hardworking taxpayers
of the City of Nashua. Therefore, in my opinion really the Budget Committee has recommended some
reductions, fine but increases but | don’t think in my view are not a good idea. | know that obviously people
disagree about that, but my priority would be to maintain services basically as we have them and hold fast and
then try to do the best we can with the tax rate as circumstances develop.

| will now move to another subject, Madam President that being the Firefighter's Contract. As | mentioned, of
course, we respect the Firefighters, we appreciate everything they have done and | think the way that
negotiations were handled before the current contract was arrived at by the Fire Commission reflects that. We
had offered, in mediation, 11% over four years. 2 %4% every year a four year increase. As you, Madam
President, and other members of the Board of Aldermen approved for the Police Sergeants. So we are trying to
have equity, the same amount was offered, yet we don’t have a contract. And there’s different ways you can
look at what this contract would do in terms of cost. Yes, it’s four 3 1/2 % raises, which without any
compounding equals 14%/ But sometimes when we consider the cost of contracts, we consider what they are
actually going to cause in terms of the outflow of dollars. And because there are also step increases within the
contract, the actual cost would be a 17% increase for one that, in my opinion, and again — with utmost respect,
in my opinion one we, under these circumstances cannot afford.
