REMARKS BY THE MAYOR
Mayor Donchess
First | wanted to address something on the Agenda which is the report from the Rail Committee that Tim
Cummings, the Economic Development Director has forwarded to you, and which | understand will be
referred to one of the committees. For those of you who were not here when the committee was formed,
and | think there are a number of you, we formed the committee through Legislative action when the
possibility of working with the Boston Surface Rail Corporation originally arose. The idea was to appoint
people knowledgeable and interested in the task of bringing rail service to Nashua to help advise the Board
of Aldermen and the City as to how to proceed.
Of course, | am preaching to the choir; | know here when | say that a rail would bring great benefits to the
State of New Hampshire in its entirety as well as to the City of Nashua, as well as to the neighborhood that
would host the rail station and of course all the commuters who drive from Nashua into Boston or
Massachusetts.
The Rail Committee was given actually a limited term but they have continued to work as issues have come
up and | think that definitely has been a good thing. They have kept up-to-date regarding rail issues; they
include a number of recommendations in their report. They are basically suggesting, and you will hear this
directly when they report in more detail: they are basically suggesting that we as a City continue to pursue
two parallel tracks. Number one, our work with the Legislature in the effort to get the last planning stages for
the capital quarter project funded with the $4 million dollars of Federal money, not one State dollar involved
that would be required to complete that last planning phase, while at the same time acknowledging that over
time there has been quite a bit of opposition to rail in Concord and many legislators over time have not been
supportive. So, at the same pursuing the joint approach with Boston Surface Rail to work with them to
determine if they could bring a private service to the City; the Committee is recommending that we pursue
these two tracks and you will hear more about that when they report.
We do have a very active Committee, technically its life has run out but | don’t think we should let that
interfere with their work. We could re-authorize the Committee to give them an indefinite life, if we want to
make this formal is something that we could do. If we do do that, | think we should expand the membership
by a couple of members. In appointing the initial people on the Committee we included two people who
were in the Legislature and very active and interested in the rail issue; those being Bette Lasky who was
then District 13 Senator as well as Carl Seidel who was then a Ward 1 Representative. Neither serve in the
Legislature at this time but both are interested and involved and in the Committee and are knowledgeable
on the rail issue. If we expand the membership it would be my intention or suggestion that we appoint two
additional members who are in the Legislature because of course that feedback from the Legislature is very
important and we could find maybe 2 or 3 other people from the Legislature who are involved in the
appropriate committees and could help provide a perspective as to what is going on in Concord.
Board of Aldermen 01-08-2019 Page 2
In any event, those are all issues to consider as they make their report and as we think more about the rail
issue.
Another item on the Agenda, Madam Chair, is the continuation of the baseball contract with the Silver
Knights for another 3 years. | think they have provided a very valuable entertainment asset to the City. A lot
of people attend and it is great to have them playing all of their home games at Holman Stadium and so | am
sure that you all agree that continuing our agreement with them would be a very positive step forward.
Finally on a sadder note, Madam Chair, | wanted to give my condolences to the family of Jack Nelson. Jack
passed away about a week ago, | think on December 31", his wife and now widow Mary Nelson, who lives
down in Ward 8, was a State Senator in the City for a number of terms. She was very effective; she helped
bring the Court House actually over here. She was very instrumental in bringing the downtown Court House
when that seemed like it might not be possible; the State wanted to locate elsewhere, and accomplished a
number of things for the City. Then she later worked for the City of Nashua, worked over at Public Health &
Community Services as their Director for a number of years and | think retired in about 2008.
In any event, Mary and her family, Jamie and the other members of the family have suffered a very
significant loss, Jack was a really great guy and so | want to extend my condolences to Mary and her kids
and grandchildren.
With that, Madam Chair, that is all | that | have.
