REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN

President McCarthy

Alderman Deane, would you please come up to the podium? | want to thank you for your service as President
of the Board of Aldermen in the past term. | know a lot about that position including how uncomfortable that
stupid stool is and | want to thank you for putting up with it. I’ve Known you for 25 years almost and | want to
thank you for your commitment to the City of Nashua as it’s exemplary and I’d like to present to you on behalf
of the Board of Aldermen with a token of ours.

Board of Aldermen - Organizational Mtg. - 1/10/16 Page 3
Alderman Deane

Thank you.

President McCarthy

In the time that | have been on the Board I’ve learned a lot about public speaking. When | was first on the
Board | learned that you should always go to events prepared to speak whether you are on the agenda or not
and that you should always open with a joke. Today | learned that you should bring two jokes in case the
Master of Ceremonies takes your first one. That was my second one.

| want to thank the Board for making me the President for the next two years. | think we are going to have an
interesting time. The other thing | learned is to be brief and that was made easier to adhere to by the fact that
Governor Hassan, Senator Ayotte and the Mayor have touched on virtually all of the things that I'll speak
about. Since we don't have a Pats game and there is no informational press conference afterwards |’ll
channel Coach Belichek and say that we’ve done some things really well but there are other things we could
do better. In the past two years, as the Mayor mentioned, we’ve seen the acquisition of Pennichuck which
was a great step forward for our city. We've seen the renovation of our downtown infrastructure which has
helped us to build a thriving downtown and most recently the opening of the Broad Street Parkway which
provides really phenomenal access to our downtown area and to our Millyard. What we need to do is to figure
out how to develop those areas now that we have access. We need to work on the zoning in the downtown to
promote housing and business. We need to work on economic development in both the Millyard and the
Technology Park at Exit 1 to get good jobs here and to attract the people that we need to live in the downtown
and in our suburban areas. We also need to face a host of other problems. We need to deal with our
infrastructure issues; we need to prepare for commuter rail on the assumption that we are going to get it at
some point. We need to look at our traffic in the downtown and I’m going to call on our various committees to
look at those issues and to come up with solutions to them over the next couple of years. | think, most
importantly, as has been mentioned earlier today, we need to deal with some of the problems that we get just
by virtue of being a small city. The problems of mental illness, homelessness and substance abuse are
problems that will plague us and my concern is | don’t have any idea how to solve them so | am going to call
upon some of our members to work on those problems. | know that on our Human Affairs Committee we have
substantial expertise in those areas including two new members who are very interested in solving those
problems. | look forward to working on those and finding solutions that will help Nashua to move forward. |
look forward to working with the Board and | look forward to working with the new administration. Thank you
all very much.

Fm: Shawn M. Smith, NSD Plant Operations Director
Subj: Purchase of Replacement Loader/Backhoe

In this year’s Capital Equipment Replacement Fund (CERF) we are scheduled to replace our
2005 New Holland Loader/Backhoe. Over the past few years we have spent thousands of
dollars keeping this equipment up and running until such time as it could be replaced. More
expensive repairs are on the horizon, so immediate replacement is necessary.

In considering a replacement, we considered not only capability, but also maintainability and
of course cost. The Public Works Department, which does a significant amount of
maintenance on our fleet, has standardized on Caterpillar for its earth and debris-moving
vehicle. So it would make most sense for us to follow suit. The Caterpillar we’ve selected
meets all our needs and, with the trade-in of our old New Holland, is below the amount
budgeted in the City’s CERF.

The Caterpillar is being purchased via Sourcewell, a nationwide procurement instrument for
state and municipal governments, which has already received competitive quotes for a wide
variety of supplies and equipment via its RFP process. This is the same instrument used by
DPW. Copies of the quote and a couple pages providing information on Sourcewell are
attached.

I recommend the Finance Committee approve the purchase of a 2022 Caterpillar 420XE
Loader Backhoe in the amount of $123,900, which includes the trade-in value of our 2005
New Hollard Backhoe. Funds to purchase this are from the City’s Capital Equipment Reserve
Fund.
