ON THE QUESTION

Alderman Caron

Could you explain what this $25,000.00 is going to go for. | did go through it quickly but give us some feedback
on this study, please.

Tim Cummings, Director Economic Development

Yes, again for the record my name is Tim Cummings, | am the Director of Economic Development for the City.
Under my office’s purview we are charged with executing on the performing arts center project and contingent
on the construction of the performing arts center, we have to capitalize an endowment fund of $4 million
dollars. This is the first step in trying to move that aspect of the project forward where we will be looking to do
essentially a feasibility study and assessment on how much money we can raise from direct private
contributions. This is standard practice in standard practice in capital campaign type of efforts. We went out
and did an RFP to 18 vendors, all within the northeast.

We received zero submissions officially, however, one of the vendors that we did submit an RFP to did happen
to come back to us and respond once we had a conversation. That is Betsy McNamara of Full Circle
Consulting. We had a good conversation and she ultimately recommended we do a phased approach where
we do the assessment and then we enter into a second phase type of contract where there would be the
execution of the campaign; that wouldn’t come until later on this summer. The funds are available through
Downtown Improvement Committee, it was recommended by the Committee at their previous meeting. | am
here before you to get the endorsement of this contract so we can move forward. Thank you.

Alderman Caron

So this is the money that the Downtown Committee approved for you to do this?
Mr. Cummings

Correct.

Alderman Caron

Ok | was just, because | couldn't see it, and | didn’t want to ask ... but | appreciate this. Do we have any idea if
the private sector has collected any money towards this $4 million dollars?

Mr. Cummings

| can answer that question Mr. Chair if | may. Yes | actually spoke to Lisa Bissonnette earlier today, she is the
president of City Arts Nashua. Earlier this year they had a fund raising event where a portion of those
proceeds are being dedicated to this.

Alderman Caron

Thank you very much.

Finance Committee - 5/16/2018 Page 3
Alderman O’Brien

Thank you Mr. Mayor. Mr. Cummings, as you have been aware there has been a lot of questions by some
people in the public, a couple people have come up and everything. So this should particularly answer those
particular questions. We have got to have a company that is going to come in and designate and get the funds
and put it in the right account. And like you say, it is something that has been done in other communities that
has this type of goal. So it basically should clear up a lot of questions that came from the general public on this
correct?

Mr. Cummings

Mr. Mayor, if | may. Yes and in particular the consultant we are going with has extensive experience here in
Nashua and also for fund raising in general and particularly with theaters. | have her biography here, | can
pass it around to the committee if you would like. Essentially she did the capital campaign for the YMCA here
in Greater Nashua, working with Mike LaChance and she also helped do the brand new Nashua Soup Kitchen
and Shelter, so that is very specific to Nashua. She was the campaign consultant for the fund raising initiative
for Red River Theater up in Concord. She has a wealth of experience in this subject matter and we are pretty
excited.

Alderman Klee
Thank you. Correct me if | am wrong, but one of the things with this type of a plan is that she is not necessarily

the one that is going to be doing the fund raising. She is going to be kind of consulting and working with the
people private and public, to get the funds. She is just going to help us through the process, correct?

Mr. Cummings

That is absolutely correct. She, being Ms. McNamara, has to adhere to a code of conduct and ethics for her
profession. She is prohibited from making “the direct ask”. Her role will be administrative and organizational in
nature to help us move the project forward.

Alderman Klee

Thank you.

Re: Contract for Tax Credit Consultant (Value: $63,450)

MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN KELLY TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND, CONTINGENT UPON BOARD
OF ALDERMEN APPROVAL, AWARD THE TWO-YEAR CONTRACT TO WILLIAM C. (NIEL) CANNON,

FINANCE & DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT, IN THE AMOUNT OF $63,450. SOURCE OF FUNDING IS
DEPARTMENT 183, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT; PAC FEASIBILITY STUDY

ON THE QUESTION

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you. | was just wondering if you could talk a little bit about this and what they are going to be doing that
is different from the first one, | was a little bit confused when | read through it as well.

Finance Committee - 5/16/2018 Page 4

Mr. Cummings

Again, for the record, Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development; this is essentially if you wanted to
look at it from an organizational standpoint, would be a strategy that we could use to execute in raising of the
$4 million dollars or bringing additional non-public, non-city money to the project. We have a fund raising
consultant and she will make recommendations and strategies which will include looking at grants,
foundations, tax credits, direct private sector investment, marketing opportunities with sponsorships and
naming rights. Then a subset of that, and we’ve said from the beginning because of where this building is and
because of the nature of downtown redevelopment, there is a particularly unique opportunity for us to pursue a
new market tax credit. We know that this project qualifies for it, we’ve had that conversation well in advance
before we even moved forward.

So we are wanting to get a jump on the gun, | put an RFP out we solicited proposals from 3 different vendors
from all across the country one based in California, one based in Boston, Massachusetts. And then this local
vendor who is based out of what is essentially Manchester and who has done extensive work in new market
tax credit financing which is just another type of financing to help close a gap in a private sector project. So
what you have before you is a proposal by Niel Cannon who has done most of the work up in Concord for new
market tax credits. He is looking to pursue a new market tax credit on our behalf for 201 Main Street. We
have had very positive conservations leading up to this.

Mayor Donchess

A new market tax credit is a very technical area and this gentlemen knows this area very well and has qualified
many different projects for a new market tax credit, so that’s the point of this, focusing on that source.

Alderman Klee

Thank you. Do we have any idea as to how much any of these would be, any of these new market tax credits
would be?

Mr. Cummings

Mr. Mayor, if | may, yes | have an idea though | don’t want to be held it. | can tell you that the new tax law that
was just passed by Congress has thrown a little bit of a curve ball into the tax credit market in general. So
taking that one issue and setting it aside, up until this past winter, this type of tax credit received statutorily you
get up to a 39% reimbursement. Of that, what you see, is approximately 20 to 30%, so call it 25% once you
use all the fees and other costs taken away. Essentially what you could see is approximately 25% of a $15
and a half million dollar project. How much actual money that translates into depends on the market. Right
now | am being told, and this is what Niel Cannon specializes in, is really how much on the cents per dollar you
actually receive and it is somewhere between .85 and .90 cents. It is trending a little lower because of what
happened this past winter.

Alderman Klee

Ok thank you.

Alderwoman Caron

Yes thank you, and | am assuming this amount is also coming from the Downtown Committee?

Mr. Cummings

Yes.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman O’Brien

| would just to say Mr. Mayor, | kind of poured over this and looked at it and this is a much needed upgrade |
think that would enhance the operation of our Fire Department in the City. It will give them a whole bunch of
things as far as the medical reporting, computer aided dispatching, also can make decisions upon the closest
apparatus to a particular emergency situation. In the past | know they have tried to take something from
somewhere else and apply it to here. This is well intentioned for the Fire Service, it is what they should have
had in the beginning and | think it is about high time, | am definitely going to support it. This is probably, what
we will vote for tonight, may save some lives. It is that critical.

Mayor Donchess

Now Assistant Chief Walker from the Fire Department is here. Are you here on this particular time? So he is
available for questions, if you have any questions for him as well.

Re: Fiber Optic Cable Test Tool (Value: $20,933)

MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN WOMAN TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND AWARD THE CONTRACT TO
ALPINE SOFTWARE CORPORATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $20,933. FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE IN
DEPARTMENT 122, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY; NGIN BOND FUND

Finance Committee - 5/16/2018 Page 6

Alderman Laws

What is this a fiber optic testing tools?

Bruce Codagnone, IT Director

It is a fiber optic test tool so typically we hire contractors whenever we have breakage in fiber optic cable, we
have 45 miles of fiber connecting all the city buildings as well as all the traffic lights throughout the city as well
as redundant back up for the radio towers for the emergency response. And then we have, within the buildings
and the parking garages, we have fiber optic cables. So it is probably is more like 90 miles of cable when you
really look at it. Every time there is a mouse or a squirrel or something or something breaks in the cable, we
usually have to hire a vendor to come in, figure out where that break is, hire someone else to come out and
repair the break. It takes a lot of time and it is also very expensive. So it kind of long overdue to have our own
tester; people on my team know how to use it so it helps us to be able to determine where a break is, how
good a fiber optic line actually is and make any necessary changes or adjustments that we have to do.
Alderman Laws

How long do you anticipate using this?

Mr. Codagnone

It seems like we get breaks like once a month, especially on the traffic poles and the traffic cabinets. There is
always a squirrel that wants to live in there and decides that this is food. So we have breaks a lot of times and
plus we have people that when the traffic cameras go off the road, they hit them. And also we have within
buildings where someone is working, they drill a hole through the wall and actually hit a cable. It is hard to find
those.

Alderman Laws

Thank you.

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you. So would this tool allow you to take everything in house or just the diagnostic?

Mr. Codagnone

Just the diagnostics.

Alderwoman Kelly

Ok and currently, if | could follow up, how often are you paying for someone else to do that diagnostic?

Mr. Codagnone

Pretty much like once a month.

Alderwoman Kelly

Cost?

Finance Committee - 5/16/2018 Page 7

Mr. Codagnone

And also some of the repairs we can do ourselves because these fiber optic cables are multiple strains of fiber
optics, so a lot of times we can just shift to another pair if we do find a break. So a lot of the repairs can be
done by my team, it depends upon what type of break it is.

Alderwoman Kelly

Just a follow up do you know about how much it costs every time you send a consultant out to look at the fiber
optic?

Mr. Codagnone
It varies, sometimes it is $10,000.00, $5,000.00, $2,000.00, it varies.

Alderwoman Kelly

Ok thank you.

Alderman O’Brien

My question would be Mr. Mayor, would this equipment be shared with other divisions? | know in particular we
just did something with the Fire Department and they have the fiber optic, the school department and

everything else like that. So they would be able to use this to help them on their end of it as well too or do you
just manage the whole complete system?

Mr. Codagnone

No we would share it with any other division that needs to use it. But we already do it within the Fire
Department and such and we help out within the School Department as well. We work very closely with
everybody so we share well.

Alderman O’Brien

Very good.

Re: Lawson Consulting Services from Surety Systems (Value: $15,000)

MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN KELLY TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND APPROVE THE PURCHASE
FROM SURETY SYSTEMS IN THE AMOUNT OF $15,000. SOURCE OF FUNDING IS DEPARTMENT 111,
HUMAN RESOURCES; GENERAL FUND

ON THE QUESTION

Mr. Donchess

Mr. Budreau who is the Director of Personnel is here to answer any questions if you have them. Are there any
questions or any discussion.

Alderman Klee

Yes | guess | was a little confused between this one and the next one that is coming.

Finance Committee - 5/16/2018 Page 8
Mayor Donchess

Do you want to come on up Mr. Budreau?

Alderman Klee

My question is, is this just to aid in processing their current contract changes that have recently come down. Is
it just for temporary help? | was a little confused by the request so | apologize.

Larry Budreau, Human Resources Director

That’s fine, | am Larry Budreau the Human Resources Director. | have two, this is the Lawson Consulting first,
| believe.

Mayor Donchess
This is the $15,000.00.

Mr. Budreau

| never miss an opportunity especially for new Aldermen to reinforce that the city and the school district
combined have a very complicated payroll and benefits administration system; 17 union contracts, 3 non-
agreements, all sorts of different nuances. Lawson, the software that we use for the financials in the city and
for processing payroll and benefits administration needs to be constantly configured, reconfigured and
repaired. A couple of problems that we are suffering right now and have for years, is that there is a
phenomenon called comp time and it is that some hourly employees can choose not to be paid but store that
time and at a future time be able to take time and a half, an hour and half or every hour they worked overtime.
We should have a flawless record keeping system for that. We don’t. Many times they’ve tried to fix it and it
breaks. So this Lawson Consultant currently is helping us with that. So it is fixes, it is helping us to configure
for new things that come down the pike.

By way of contrast and another interesting thing that some of you don’t know because we haven't met, the
entire human resources and payroll department comprise 10 and a half people. Of that group | am the most
senior, I’ve been here less than 3 years. So we have an enormous learning curve and a broken system. In
Fiscal 2017, we spent $180,000.00 on similar consulting so we have made enormous strides. What we are
doing here is encumbering this so that we can continue on some of the projects we have and know that we
have money as issues or new challenges come up.

Alderman Klee

So if | may, so this is really kind of a one and done type of a fix or are we going to once a year need them to
come in and make these contracts or other things change? | worked in a payroll with the Department of
Veteran’s Affairs, so | understand all the different pay scales and all the different types of wage grade versus a
GF. | worked for the Federal Government so | can understand that and comp time is a nightmare yes.

Mr. Budreau

So the response is the latter, we will not necessarily, we are not going to spend all that money in one shot and
| can’t say for sure that we will spend it all in the upcoming year. But we certainly may, we have current
projects going on and with the Fiscal Year coming to a close, we want to make sure that we secure the
permission to acquire that consulting when we need it.

Alderman Klee

Sounds good to me, thank you.
