Board of Aldermen 01-25-2022 Page 5

Allison Dyer

Hi. Allison Dyer, 9 (inaudible) Drive. | also my comment is just in regard to the mask mandate or the mask ordinance for
Nashua. As | expressed to you all in my e-mails at various points, Nashua is not an island. Our hospitals are regional.
They feed all the other surrounding towns and we’re two years into this. We do all have an idea of how to protect
ourselves and others. We are capable to make those decisions for ourselves and | would just like to see us go forward
and try to quell and calm a little bit more of this city-wide divisiveness that we have going on and the mask ordinance and
let’s all move forward to better times. Thank you.

Justin Rosenberg

Hi, Justin Rosenberg, 30 Kessler Farm Drive. It said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting different results and that’s a perfect way to describe what the Board of Health is overcome with — insanity. This
Board is completely divorced from reality. The real virus in this community and it has been for a long time is the delusion
that masks and the recommendations from this deluded group can prevent you from getting an (inaudible) virus. This
Board still says to this day that cloth masks provide protection which even the most fervent mask proponents says it’s
useless like Dr. Leana Wen likened them recently to mere facial decorations. The Board says it wants to (inaudible)
information. I’m here to tell the public and the Aldermen misinformation is coming from inside the house.

Here’s the life cycle of a Board of Health recommendation. They put forth a policy proposal that’s passed by the
Aldermen and it doesn’t work at all. They blame everybody but themselves and then it’s back to square one. The Board
of Health is the epitome of a self-fulfilling prophecy. They justify their continued relevance with policies that don’t work so
we just run the same playbook over and over again as if it will magically work despite all evidence of the past few years
showing the opposite. The Board of Health speaks towards those in the public by differing and often superior evidence
with the level of scorn and distain. It begs the question how the Aldermen keep listening to them. It’s like an abusive
relationship. Their mask manics don’t work and their response is you made me mask you. The Aldermen here tonight
are not totally given over to this (inaudible) show and you will vote no on the mandate extension. If you do, | will continue
to not follow it in any capacity and will encourage as many people as possible to do so as well. If all of the Board is
capable of doing is parroting CDC and big pharma talking points without even a shred of doubt or questioning, then what
use do we have for you? The fact that the simple questions like Laurie had cannot be answered definitively at these
meetings in 2022 is absurd. That is alll have to say. This mandate should be needed. The Board of Health’s (inaudible)
is over. We're done.

Joann St. John

Good evening. | just would like to say that | definitely would like our Board of Aldermen to vote to maintain the mask

mandate here in Nashua. | don’t want to repeat what others have said. I’m hoping that going forward throughout the
night though it’s not one repetitive insult against our Boards and science after another. Thank you very much for your
time. | hope that you all vote sensibly this evening. Thank you.

Chris Parks

Chris Parks 24 Bolic Street here in Nashua. Just wanted to comment this evening and tell you a story. One of the
greatest jobs ever had in the Marine Corps. was training and teaching newly commissioned second Lieutenants. |
remember a time where we were doing some urban warfare training and | sat there and watched Lieutenant send one of
his squads into a building and as they were coming up to the building, they all got killed — simulated — from one window.
So his next thing was to send another squad at the same window. Guess what happened, they all got killed again. So his
third option he’s just going to send another squad. They all get killed again. The lesson with this was that he kept
reinforcing failure and that’s exactly what this mask mandate is and let’s talk about the mask.

Since COVID started over two years ago, we’ve been told hey no one needs to wear a mask — and this was from Fauci
back in the day — no one needs to wear a mask. You only need one if you’re a healthcare worker. You only need one if
you're sick. Then we need to wear two masks. Then Fauci wants us to wear three. As everyone has stated tonight, it’s
been proven that they don’t work. The cloth masks don’t do anything to stop the spread and it’s a great opportunity for
people like me to sit here and look at people like the Board of Health and say | told you so. Maybe we can also — well I'll
leave that for another day.

I'd like to say congratulations to the returning Aldermen and Alderwomen. You've legislated yourself into insignificance.
There’s a (inaudible) and shop in Nashua never wearing masks. | can tell you that no one has asked me to leave and
store owners really aren't complying. Congratulations to the new Aldermen. Perhaps you'll not follow the same process
as your predecessors and think for yourselves and disregard the Board of Health who have now not only made the

recommendation to continue wearing masks will still work but remember about a year ago when they also recommended
curfew because COVID only comes out at 9:30 at night. Hopefully you’ll continue to disregard the Mayor. He is the guy
who brought us question 2. We saw what a roaring success that was.

As someone who has lead over 200 marines in combat situations across multiple continents and multiple countries, got
shot at multiple countries, | can tell you that | won't let fear shake my decision making. | would hope the rest of our so
called leaders would understand what that title means and do the same.

Alderman O’Brien

30 seconds

Representative Linda Harriott-Gathright

Hello President Wilshire, and Mayor Donchess, and to the Board of Aldermen. | am truly appreciative of our Health
Department and ...

President Wilshire

Linda we need your name and address for the record please.

Representative Linda Harriott-Gathright

I’m sorry. Linda Gathright, 28 Marion Lane, Nashua, NH. Thank you. So as | said, | appreciate the work that the Board
of Health has done and as well as the Board of Aldermen. | am definitely in for the mask continuing at least another
month or so until hopefully things get much better than where we are today. | do believe in the work that the Board of
Health is doing to keep us abreast of what’s happening here in Nashua. Thank you.

Alicia Houston

Aldermen and Mayor, | appreciate the time. Alicia Houston, 139 Westwood Drive. | would just like to echo the sentiments
of Ms. Ortolano, Ms. Colquhoun, Mr. Gouthru, Ms. Scaer, Ms. Smith, Mr. Rosenberg, Mr. Parks, Ms. Dyer, and | also
would like to remind everyone that New York City actually just lifted their mask mandate. So if they’re able to do that,
there’s no reason why we can’t do that in a smaller city like Nashua. Thank you.

Brady Owens

Hello, my name is Brady Owens. I’m live at 16 Danbury Road in Nashua, NH. | just wanted to also support that | am not
for extending this mask mandate. | am thankful for the Board of Aldermen and President Wilshire for allowing public
comment this time. It was very upsetting the last about a month ago we were here and we weren't allowed to talk. So I’m
not going to take a long time but what Laurie Ortolano said, and Colquhoun, Chris Parks, and everybody else | support
everything they said. | just want to remind the Board of Aldermen you know one of you all’s job is to represent us. We're
here talking. We're telling you we don’t want this.

| was very disappointed when at the last meeting Alderman Dowd who represents me started the meeting by saying hey
I’ve heard from a lot of businesses. I’ve heard from a lot of people. Nobody wants this but yet you voted for it anyway.

We've heard the Board of Health. You can’t go anywhere without hearing that stuff. We're done with it. We're here
telling you the people we don’t want this. As many people have already said, we’re not paying attention to anyway. |
haven’t worn a mask yet and I’m not going to and there’s a lot of businesses around town that aren't willing to enforce it. |
can’t blame them. This needs to be over. Thank you for your time.

Don Whalen

My name is Don Whalen, 12 Lincoln Ave., Nashua. I’m against the mask mandate in Nashua. Mask mandates have
always been more about showing compliance than keeping people safe. The CDCs latest embarrassing disclosure
further proves it. As outline in a recent New York Times article, the CDC concedes that cloth masks do not protect
against the virus, especially Omicron, as effectively as other masks. This, again, proves that the CDC is continuing to
change course on mask messaging as well as other COVID related items. What’s next for Nashua N95 or KN95 mask
mandates? Don’t laugh, this is actually happening in California. Just this week the Los Angeles Times noted “a big push
for California’s to switch to N95 or KN95 masks as an updated county health order” that went into effect this past Monday.
Requires employers to provide not just masks for their employees but a well-fitting medical grade mask, surgical mask, or

higher level respirator such as N95 filtering face piece, respirator, or KN95. What’s happening in California is real and not
a TV show or movie. In other news just yesterday, the New York Supreme Court struck down the Governor’s mask
mandate for schools and public areas ruling that the Governor overstepped her authority. It’s hard to believe that when it
comes to masks, Nashua, New Hampshire, is more restrictive than the State of New York.

As everybody probably knows, the Omicron variant is extremely contagious. As early as December 20, 2021, the CDC
warned that anyone with Omicron infection can spread the virus to others even if they are vaccinated or don’t have
symptoms which means that vaccinated Nashua citizens can not only catch the new variant but spread it too. Unless you
never leave your house, you will probably either get COVID now or later. Most experts predict that COVID-19 will become
an endemic disease after the pandemic phase. Once enough people have developed immunity to COVID-19 either
through vaccination or infection. In other words, COVID-19 is expected to become a recurring disease like the flu. Masks
have been largely political theater from the start. Back when Dr. Fauci and team promised we didn’t need masks and
then flip flopped and promised we did need masks. If you want to wear a mask, wear one. If you don’t want to wear a
mask, don’t wear one. If businesses require masks for entry into their establishment, then that is their choice and people
can choose to wear a mask or to go elsewhere. Masks should not be mandated. It should be an individual choice.

President Wilshire

It looks like the end of our public comment period. Mr. Sewell.
Al Sewell

Al Sewell, 5 Lincoln Avenue, Nashua. | am gratefully impressed and blessed to see that our elected officials have offered
public comment at this point in time. I’m actually appalled and embarrassed and | think if you take a look at in all honesty
the mistakes that we’ve made in the recent past of what you did not allow in recent history for public comment. | think you
would take a look at that and honestly maybe perhaps admit that that’s why you were elected in the first place. You’re
elected by the residents and citizens of Nashua to represent our interests. Clearly overwhelmingly if you look at the
Facebook poll, or talked to people in the city that we live and that we all love, you would know and realize that people can
make smart decisions and they typically do. If you follow the science and follow the numbers, the numbers are going
downward and trending in the right direction. People can make the right decisions and my belief it’s their personal
decision of whether or not they want to wear a mask or not. We should not mandate it. Absolutely should not mandate it.
Thank you for your time.

Barbara Villandry

Good evening. Barbara Villandry, 127 Peele Road. | am in favor of extending the mask mandate as people are talking
about the scientific statistics and what they know from scientists but not quoting the scientist. That doesn’t match
anything I’ve heard and | have watched a lot of news and a lot of medical people talking about this. It seems to me that
the masks in fact do work and an extension for another month should reduce our rates and get us into summer when we
can get out without the masks. So | urge you to vote in favor of extending the mandate. Thank you.

Tim Sennott

Thank you. I’m sorry to drag out your time. Tim Sennott, 62 Underhill Street here in Nashua. I'd be remiss If | didn’t
come before you and speak to those of us you're hearing a lot of opposition tonight. You’re hearing a lot of stories of
people who will leave the city and do their business elsewhere. I'd just like to remind you that there are those of us
whether they're here to speak or not that we'll continue to do business in the city regardless of whether or not this
mandate is extended or not. | am one of those people. My family is as well. | live in this city and | care for this city. |
care for the businesses here. Whether a mask mandate exists, | will continue to do my business here. | think there are
many that are like me.

I'd also just like to speak to comments that | heard earlier regarding the effect on children. | care for my 7 year old son
very deeply. As you know since the beginning of the school year masks have been mandated in our public schools. I’ve
not heard one peep out of my son about wearing a mask during the day. Yes it’s natural that we’ve had spread in the
schools. They can’t stay on all day. Children can’t eat wearing a mask. There are other things they can’t do wearing a
mask. They can’t drink water wearing a mask. Those are opportunities for spread but to date | have not heard my son
make a peep out of it other than when | asked him if it bothers him to wear a mask. He told me Dad it’s really not that big
a deal. I’m going to continue wearing mine and I’m going to continue doing business here in Nashua. Thank you for your
time this evening.

Tyler Ramrath

My name is Tyler Ramrath. | live at 34 Tufts Drive. A component to many government mandates is enforcement. If you
vote for a continued mandate what you’re saying to the citizenry is that you think it is moral for you all to dispatch armed
men and women from the government who is trying to force or force a mandate to only protects those who choose not to
be vaccinated or choose not to mitigate in other ways (inaudible) threatened by government agents over the wear of such
a garment. | very well may defend myself for the means of lesser than or equal to that which is being used to threaten
me. Thank you.

Re: Amendment to Aldermanic Committees 2022-2023

MOTION BY ALDERMAN CLEMONS TO APPROVE THE AMENDED ALDERMANIC COMMITTEES 2022-2023

ON THE QUESTION

President Wilshire

I'd like to explain what happened here. When | was putting the committee assignments together, | didn’t realize that three
at-large members had to be on the Finance Committee and three Ward members. | didn’t set it up that way. It was my
error and so | spoke with the individuals that were affected by it and all agreeably to move this forward. It was my error
and | appreciate both of you who were willing to accept the changes so | appreciate it.

Alderman Cathey

Thank you Madam Chairman. | would just like to echo your sentiments that | was one of the people that was asked to
step down from the Finance Committee and it was completely voluntary and | was happy to do so so that we were
complying with the affected ordinances. Thank you.

Alderman Lopez

| just want to observe for the public and for any just so the new Aldermen know, we can go to all the committees and
some of us do. As an Alderman you definitely have a seat at the table. The Chairs are typically very respectful of people
because the committee’s function is to recommend things that in most cases the Board itself will vote on. The Finance
Committee is a little bit different in that it has more of a workload but you can always attend. You can always pitch in if
you need to.

Alderwoman Kelly

| actually just wanted to add on to that that you can attend but as a non-committee member you can’t make motions or
changes. You can only make recommendations or comments.

President Wilshire

Most committees will allow a non-voting member to ask a voting member to make a motion for them and that’s acceptable
as well.

Alderman Klee
Thank you Madam President. As a person who attends almost every meeting, | truly find it just helps me get all those

because as they say, the work happens in committee and it makes me a little bit more knowledgeable when we sit
through the horseshoe but not everybody has that time.

Alderman Comeau

Thank you Madam President. | don’t necessarily have a problem with the revised committee assignments. | just wanted
to say the other day Alderman Jette and | attended a kick off meeting for one of our liaison committees and | was
disappointed to hear that in previous years they had very little involvement from their aldermanic liaisons. Just looking at
the new assignments, it seems like there are a couple of Aldermen who have very heavy workloads, including their liaison
committees. | just hope that they are able to perform the work that’s required of all of those committees. If it’s too much
of a workload that maybe we can revise some of that down the road.

President Wilshire

Yes and the reason we appoint a liaison and an alternate is if the liaison can’t make that meeting, then they would reach
out to the alternate and say hey | can’t make tomorrow’s meeting are you available. We do the best we can to represent
all the committees that we are assigned to but it’s not 100 percent possible to always be there. | mean a lot of us work
daytime and it’s not always possible but we do our best. Thank you for that.

Yes last night the Budget Review Committee met and we had a discussion and questions answered on Resolution R-22-

recommending final approval.

Given its second reading;

MOTION BY ALDERMAN DOWD FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-22-001, BY ROLL CALL

ON THE QUESTION

Alderman Dowd

Yes today | sent out clarification on the questions that came up yesterday. | got the answers from Mr. Dan Donovan — the
CFO of the School District. | hope that answered all the questions that were before us.

Alderman Cathey

Did we get clarification from last night’s meeting on when the contract date the clock started ticking?
Alderman Dowd

| had a discussion with legal counsel today and the date of starts on the first reading. | believe 30 days will be up on
February 11* if | have the date correct.

Alderman Comeau

Given that the 30 days starts on the date of the first reading, it would seem that we do have another Board of Aldermen
full meeting before that deadline expires. If we were to wait until then, it gives the public an opportunity to review this as
well as the Committee members last night. | know they got their questions answered but we haven't allowed the public
time to review that and there may be additional questions that we don’t know of yet. So it think it would be prudent given
that we won’t be in violation of that 30 days to wait until the next meeting for final passage.

President Wilshire

Further discussion?

Alderman Sullivan

Thank you Madam President. | was going to make a motion to definitely postpone this vote until the February 8'" meeting
just to get a chance. It’s a big contract - give a chance to the Board. We just looked at it last night for the first time. We
did get answers and since we are inside the window, | would like to make that motion to see if we could definitely
postpone that vote until...

President Wilshire

Indefinite postponement means we're killing it.

Alderman Sullivan

I’m sorry — definitely postponement.

President Wilshire

You can definitely postpone it to a time certain, is that true? Thank you. Until February...

Alderman Sullivan

February 8'". | want to make sure that we’re inside the window so that this doesn’t expire. Thank you.
MOTION BY ALDERMAN SULLIVAN TO DEFINITELY POSTPONE R-22-001

ON THE QUESTION

Alderman Dowd

Again, just to reiterate that we’re not in a position where we can renegotiate the contract. It’s either a vote up or a vote
down based on the cost of the contract. So I’m not sure what questions could be answered by the public that would affect
this.

President Wilshire

So this is only debatable to the time of the consideration.

Alderman Comeau

Thank you Madam President. Just to agree with Alderman Sullivan, | think that we might not know what questions we
want to ask yet because a lot of people haven't had time to review it. Again, some people saw this for the first time last
night. | think that the definite postponement to the February 8" meeting is prudent and will give us time to make sure that
it’s properly reviewed and vetted before we vote to pass it.

President Wilshire

Anyone else?

Alderman Clemons

Madam President, roll call.

A viva voce roll call was taken which resulted as follows:

Yea: Alderman Sullivan, Alderman Jette, Alderman Comeau,
