Board of Aldermen 06-26-2018 Page 16

And then | also wanted to invite everybody on the 4" of July, especially veterans, to a 4" of July
Celebration at Riverside BBQ. It is sponsored by a number of organizations, Positive Street Art, VFW,
American Legion, Elks Club and it is meant to kind of help make veterans feel a little bit more included.

So it will be a free concert for veterans, there will be a hotdog eating contest, I’m looking forward to
being the number one contestant on behalf of the Board of Aldermen. It is going to be a good time. So
all veterans are welcome. Maybe it is an alternative to watching fireworks and that kind of stuff.

And then finally | wanted to express my condolences to the family and teammates of Manuel Barbosa.
He was a leading figure in helping form the soccer movement that we have in the community today. |
think that he is going to be deeply missed, but his legacy is being carried on by his sons Jarrod and
Hayden who are both in their own ways great leaders in the community. Soccer isn’t just a game, it has
cultural roots. It is a way of positive self-expression and encourages people who are trying to find a way
to be visible and be seen and to do it athletically but also to study and to be part of the community to
volunteer. | have found the soccer programs over the years to be very, very much an asset to the
community and | think a lot of that came from Mr. Barbosa’s leadership.

Alderman Laws

| just think it is worth mentioning that for the Pride Parade if you are parked on Main Street between
2:00 and 2:30 p.m. on Saturday you are not going to be able to move your car until after the procession
goes through. And you are not allowed to park in the Water Street parking lot and you are not allowed
to park in the Renaissance parking lot from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. that day.

Alderman Klee

| would also like to show my support with the Pride Parade and Festival. | plan on being there with my
husband. | have been putting it all over my Facebook page, I’m very happy to celebrate all mankind
and to show how equal we all are. | am proud to be there. Thank you.

Alderman Dowd

Today | had the opportunity of attending the Chamber of Commerce State of the State with Governor
Sununu, Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja was there as well as the Mayor. A lot of great things were said but
the one that | wanted to key on was that they have allocated several millions dollars to schools for
safety allocations and we have applied for and are receiving some of those grants.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

| just want to say thank you to City officials and to the community that came out last week to celebrate
Juneteenth. | was out of town and was unable to be there but | have so many wonderful things said
about that evening and in terms of speakers and of watching video as well.

Alderman Wilshire

Thank you. | also want to thank all of those who put the Pride Parade and Festival together. | am
looking forward to it. It should be an exciting time for downtown Nashua and for our citizens.

I’d also like to mention something that the Mayor brought up earlier about the grants that the Police
Department is getting and | think the message that is getting out there to drug dealers that Nashua is
not a good place to sell drugs. So the more support they get, the more grants, the more funding they
get to keep after this issue, | think it is great. So that is all, thank you.

Board of Aldermen 06-26-2018 Page 17

President McCarthy

| want to say thank you to GAD for the new Farmer’s Market. | had the opportunity to go to the first one
and it was quite impressive. | think it is going to become a great asset to the City and | would
encourage everybody to get down on Main Street and go on Sundays.

Committee announcements:

Alderman Dowd

Yes the Joint Special that was going to be this Thursday has been cancelled. The next one is July 25",
we may have one prior to that because the one order of business for the meeting is to approve the
request for solicitations for an architect and a contractor for the middle school projects. So stay tuned.
Alderman Caron

Yes, thank you. Personnel is cancelled for July since we have no nominations. Thank you.

Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

Yes PEDC was originally scheduled for July 17" and it is not only in conflict with the Holman Event but
there is no business at this point so | will not be rescheduling it for July.

Alderman O’Brien

Yes just to remind everybody tomorrow night in the Aldermanic Chamber, starting at 7:00 will be a
Public Hearing on the renumbering of impact to properties to 3 and7 Dawn Street and immediately
following that will be a meeting of the Infrastructure Committee and you are all welcome.

Alderman Wilshire

| was just going to mention the Special Board of Meeting for the Public Hearing tomorrow night. Thank
you Alderman O’Brien.

Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

May | just make a comment? | thought about this as you were asking for Committee Announcements.
The Police last weekend really made a concerted effort to address the noise problem that | Know many
of us have heard about from outdoor diners. There was a large number of stops and | think in most
cases the people who were stopped were given warnings. | know many people in the past 8 or 9 years
have commented to me that they love being downtown but they hate the noise as they are sitting
outside dining. So | had a chance to thank the Chief this afternoon but | would also like to thank them
again for finding the resources to do that.

Alderman Lopez

There are other activities that happen downtown too, we just had our Longest Day Vigil for people that
we have lost to recovery and | mean some of our statements were punctuated by the roar of a herd of
motorcycles. So | appreciate that we can find a balance between the two. | wanted to announce that
the Substandard Living Committee is going to be July 12" here in the Aldermanic Chamber.

Board of Aldermen 06-26-2018 Page 18

President McCarthy

| did want to comment that Mr. Roche’s comments regarding the budget, | think we need to be aware of
and | just want the public to be aware that there are opportunities after we have seen what the impact is
likely to be of the reval to perhaps make some adjustments. | look forward to seeing positive results
when we are able to do that.

Alderman Dowd

One thing also along those lines when we passed the budget as of July 1“, the amount of money
allocated to the School Department is given to them and they can spend it anyway they want to. So the
items that we were talking about that they want are not cut per se, they were additional items that they
were looking for. But they could still implement those by cutting something else. | know that is hard to
find but there is that possibility.
