marked public by assessing staff and they’re interface is installed, it would actually be linked to our city website. That link
would bring them into a public version of the docuware system.

Alderman Cathey

Okay, great. Thank you. | appreciate it.

Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel

May | correct something that was just said?

President Wilshire

Attorney Bolton.

Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel

The Legal Department will not be going through 29,000 copies.

Alderman Cathey

Thank you.

Alderman O’Brien

Thank you Madam President. | don’t know through you to the Legal or to Kim, whoever is best to answer this. This is
very concerning. Is this being referred to any other agency for further investigation?

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

Yes it has been reported to the Nashua Police Department.

Alderman O’Brien

Thank you.

Alderman Sullivan

Thank you Madam President. Question for Director Kleiner. You had mentioned that the documents were on a private or
in private status? Is that with the city or is that with the company that has done the scanning? Where do those
documents sit right now currently?

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

Great question. They sit on the docuware cloud. When | say “in private status’, that’s a setting on the document that
doesn't allow them to be accessed if we did have the public interface. So it’s a marking and an indication on the
document and when assessing staff go in and review it, they will remove that flag which makes it then a public document.

Alderman Sullivan

Thank you. Follow up please.

President Wilshire

Thank you Madam President.

Alderman Sullivan

With regard to the letter, | just skimmed it seeing it just got it this evening and as far as it’s been sent to the Nashua Police
Department, at what point do we get involved here and understanding either both sides of the story or see what’s going
on. | underlined the word “thinking” a few times in the letter which maybe that is not clear by the person that wrote it or

maybe misunderstanding. | don’t know. So | am just bringing that up as this is a communication from one side. | don't
know what happens from here but | would like to hear both sides of the story if possible.

Alderwoman Kelly

| just had a clarification in terms of the cost. | know you’re going to come to Finance but you had said that there was an
additional cost to make them public. That was always part of the plan or is that now an additional fee that is outside of the
scope?

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

It was always part of the plan. We just received the quote because | asked him. | said moving in that direction | don't
expect — it’s certainly not going to be within this fiscal year so preparing for next fiscal year, | wanted to have that figure to
put in the budget for the next fiscal year.

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you Ms. Kleiner.
Alderman Klee
Madam President, I’m going to waive off right at the moment. | Know hard to believe but yes.

President Wilshire

Alderman Sullivan when something is being investigated by the police, we have no role there. Okay. So at this point we
have no role in that.

Got it. Thank you.

PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT

Laurie Ortolano

Laurie Ortolano, 41 Berkeley Street. Madam President I’d like to ask for an extension of time given what happened here
tonight.

President Wilshire

No. We have a three minute time period. That’s the end.
Laurie Ortolano

| did not know Ms. Kleiner was going to be granted an exception to speak to an item that | could have spoken to as an
item being acted on.

President Wilshire

You're wasting your time so just get on with it.
Laurie Ortolano

Please don't interrupt me. It’s very concerning to me that she could come to the microphone and defame my reputation,
and make the statement she made about requiring a police investigation, and me impostering a city official which is
completely inaccurate, and not go into nonpublic session to allow my reputation to stay intact. | had to go into nonpublic
session when | discussed an abatement regarding an assessor whose name was never used because the city wanted to
protect the assessor. It was just about an abatement value. | come here and | hear the entire public just got a report that
I’m under criminal investigation for impostering a city employee and it never happened. | wrote an e-mail. | absolutely did
make those calls. | want you to all know as well that Tim Cummings has sent me responses to Right to Knows where he
has told me to contact vendors myself. Call them. That’s how the city is directing me to handle my comments, my
concerns.

| called Inception Technology two months ago. | never hid it. | called them again last week because of information from a
Board of Assessor’s meeting. | wrote an e-mail to the city to tell them | did it. Do you think | would be that forthcoming if |
wanted to imposter somebody? If! was being sneaky? The guy’s phone number is in my phone. | sent him an e-mail
today and | didn’t make four phone calls to speak to people. | couldn’t reach anyone. They must have tagged it. | did
send an e-mail which he didn't tell you to Ray the President to ask him to look for the property record file for the arts
center that I’m trying to track. Here you’ve got Tim Cummings telling me to contact the company in Boston doing the
parking surveys and get the data down there yourself. You're trying to figure out what regulations you’re going to put in
against citizens contacting vendors. Are you kidding me? | can’t tell you how upset | am because | can’t even defend
myself.

Donna Graham, Legislative Affairs Manager

30 seconds.
Laurie Ortolano

There are two sides to a story and | had no idea. I’ve been nothing but forthright with this city and Ms. Kleiner to share
these communications and once again, | come in and | am ambushed in this meeting. Completely ambushed. | didn’t
even have the courtesy of getting the documents you all have. | have no rights in this city. Where are the First
Amendment rights for your citizens? Where’s my side? Where’s the nonpublic session to protect my reputation.

Board of Aldermen 02-08-2022 Page 11

Donna Graham, Legislative Affairs Manager

Time.
Laurie Ortolano
Please start thinking about that.

Matthew Gouthro

Matthew Gouthro, 104 Fawn Lawn. Thank you Madam President, Mayor and Aldermen. While we can all agree that our
Public Works Department does a great job supporting our city, this Friday’s past storm demonstrated some
inconsistencies where we need to do better. On Friday, February 1*', we experienced the storm in which we can only
describe as a wintery mix that cancelled school and many other happenings in our city. My concern in which | brought to
the attention of my Alderman that day and now to you today that it seems ridiculous that we can’t have our Public Works
vehicles in our neighborhood to plow our neighbors. In my neighborhood particularly, | didn’t see a Public Works vehicle
until after 4 p.m. that afternoon.

Now | understand there’s a need to clear the main arteries, we here in Nashua pay an extraordinary amount of property
taxes not to have our local neighborhood streets cleared and to be essentially shut into our homes. I’ve reached out to
the Director of Public Works. | still haven’t heard back from her. This seems to be a problem where whenever some of us
in the community reach out to the Director of Public Works it seems as if she’s not very responsive to us — the
stakeholders and taxpayers in our community. | would hope that you would reach out to her on our behalf to see what we
can do so that we can avoid this from happening again. Thank you.

REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN

Alderman Thibeault

I’ve got a few remarks so please bear with me. | like to use my remarks to note on positive things like | did a couple of
weeks ago with the basketball player from South. Today that’s not going to be the case. I’m going to talk about a few
things real quick. Mask Mandates. So I’m sure we've all been getting tons of e-mails on mask mandates. People were
trying to want me to think about it differently and maybe overturn this mask mandate which there’s no real way to do that
in this meeting today. It wasn’t on the agenda. I’ve been asked to do motions. I’m not going to do that. | don’t think
that’s the right way to try to get that put through. People are saying that — the people who want masks are doing it for
political theater and from my angle it’s not. | believe in masks. Whether it’s right or wrong, that’s what | believe. | believe
in trying to save people from getting sick and people from dying. With that being said, no one is telling me to do that or
say that. With that being said, going around the city — | went to three stores today. No one had masks in the stores, not
even the people running the stores. Two out of the three didn’t even have a sign. That’s been going on for a while now.
People are telling people not to wear masks. So if we have an ordinance that’s unenforceable, I’m not sure it’s right to
keep it going but I’m not going to try to put that on the agenda tonight.

Number two. | wanted to mention in schools currently when there’s a sporting event, there is a limit to how many people
can watch the sporting event — basketball, wrestling, or whatever it may be. | sent an e-mail two weeks ago to our AD
asking her to look into that and maybe to repeal that. It’s not coming from us. Unfortunately she told the coach and she
never went back to me that it was the city that was causing that. Ifthe city was causing that then when you go to the Rec.
games, there would be a limit. There was more people at the Rec. games — the Biddy, the Jr. Biddy, the Bantam, than
can go to at the high school games. | look at a senior — and just so you know, | don't have a kid involved in any of this
stuff so it’s not based on any of my children — but a kid that’s a senior in his last basketball game might want to invite more
than a few people but you can go see the Jr. Biddy kid and have 50 people there if you want. So | really think and | hope
she’s listening. Repeal that. It’s not coming from the city. | think it’s disingenuous to say that it’s coming from us instead
of taking ownership that she made that rule. | hope she’s hearing this.

Next, so today | saw on Facebook and I’m not going to put the person’s name out there. They were telling parents to tell
their kids when they go to school to defy the mask mandate. This person has a following so people might listen. This
person does not have any kids in our public schools. They go to private so | don’t see the reason to cause this kind of
insurrection in our school systems. It’s wrong. It’s putting kids in the middle of something that’s not theirs to be in the
middle. It’s putting teachers in a bad spot. It’s dangerous. Again, we put orders in. We put ordinances in. We put
resolution in and whatever. People aren’t following them, that’s a problem. To tell kids to do that is just wrong. Whether
you believe in the masks or not, it’s wrong.

Board of Aldermen 02-08-2022 Page 12

Lastly, and I’m sorry that I’m taking up so much time. Teachers and the union. We have to get this contract settled.
Union — you have to get back to the table. Board of Education — you have to meet with them and you have to make the
concessions. We have to get this contract done. We’re losing teachers. Forty-one teachers are retiring. That’s double
what normally retires. It’s not that we just have 41 teachers that are at the retiring age. | think they’re just fed up with the
way schools are dealt with today. You cannot manage a classroom like you used to when we were all kids, except for
Tyler. You can’t manage that. Teachers feel threatened by parents and they’re leaving. So this contract is just another
piece of that. We have to get them back to the table. We have to keep teachers. Young teachers are being paid too low.
They can go to other cities and make much more money than here. We don't want to lose good teachers. They’re the
ones teaching our kids. I'll leave it as that. | just want to see us doing more in the city. | want to get us back. We have a
good Board of Aldermen and | want us to get back to — and Alderwomen - and | want to get back to doing good things in
the city and having some of this stuff resolved so thank you.

Alderman Cathey

Thank you. I, too, have a few questions and thoughts. First, I’d like to echo what Derek is saying about teachers feeling
threatened. My wife and | have talked to many a teacher who feel disinclined to take cell phones because parents will
complain that cell phones have been taken. | have instructed all the teachers to take my kid’s phone because | don't care.
Do it. Keep them if you want to | don't really care. So | understand that there’s a lot of stress on the teachers for how to
manage classrooms especially with the schools being as large as they are, especially for South and North.

A question. Is the BOE the one controlling the masks for the AD or is it just a separate athletics policy?

Alderwoman Timmons

It’s the BOE.

Alderman Thibeault

Thank you. So the BOE is the masks. The AD controls things like how many people can show up there. She does, | will
say in her defense, she does meet with the Board of Health | think what | was told weekly. So she’s getting her direction
from the Board of Health. Still to say it’s from the city and people come back to me on it, again, if the city was doing it, all
the other city stuff would be limited too.

Alderman Cathey

So separate from the BOE, that’s the policy that she’s implemented for athletics?

Alderman Thibeault

That’s what | believe.

Alderman Cathey

Okay. Good to know.

| had two procedural questions that | don’t really understand. One would be — and we actually talked about this — when
something is not on the agenda — so let’s say someone wanted to bring up the mask mandate for reconsideration can you
do that or does it have to be pre-planned on the agenda? How does that work?

President Wilshire

You can make a motion.

Alderman Cathey

Oh, okay. | didn’t Know police, procedure wise what that looked like.

If we were to object to something, what does that do? When you said, “there being no objection’? If an Alderman
objected, what happens?

Board of Aldermen 02-08-2022 Page 13

President Wilshire

Then we would have discussion about it.

Alderman Cathey

But if only one alderman objected, it just ultimately goes through anyway, right?

President Wilshire

Well if we take a vote, yes, and everyone else votes in the affirmative it goes through yes.

Alderman Cathey

Right. | just wanted clarification on how that all works. Okay.

President Wilshire

Okay. That’s fair.

Alderman Cathey

| understand some of the public’s frustration with DPW. I do. | got a lot of e-mails, some from the same people which is
fine. | don’t mind being contacted. | love to help out the citizens and | will reach out to whomever | need to. | will say that
DPW gets a lot of calls from residents about storms. They do. So if you think that they’re not answering, they're talking to
someone else on a daily basis — 40, 50, probably sometimes 100 calls a day, multiple days in a row when there’s a storm.
They just don’t have that kind of time. They’re not trying to avoid. They’re not trying to dismiss. They have a job to do
just like the rest of us. If you feel like you’re not being heard, you can e-mail your Alderman. Certainly people have e-
mailed me to reach out and | did. | got some great answers from DPW about plowing. | had multiple individuals worry
about the sidewalks from BAE down to Bernie and Phil’s. Just so the public knows, that sidewalk cannot be plowed
because does it not meet the reqs. of the machine that plows sidewalks. There are not enough people in the DPW to go
manually shovel it because those same people that would be shoveling also drive plow trucks. It’s the same crew. We
don’t have that money. We don’t have that manpower especially in a big storm.

| will note that DPW plows hundreds of miles of streets every storm and 50 miles of sidewalks every storm. They have to
continually do that and they have to cover the safe roads initiative for schools, the main arteries, and then they will get to
whatever they can when they can. Lauren has told me multiple times if a citizen has a problem, reach out and if they can
get to that street, they will. That’s their best intention. They don’t like to leave citizens without plowed streets. So we
need to kind of give them a little bit of grace because some storms are a lot. A lot of work, a lot of hours plowing, salting,
sanding, and whatever they’re doing. Just so citizens know, a lot of the streets are being plowed. It might not just be
yours. So it might go unseen. So they're doing their best.

Lastly, | think that | would agree with Alderman Sullivan earlier. | think in the future maybe, | don’t really know how this
would work. | would appreciate both sides of the story of a situation. | don’t know how that would work but | think it’s fair
because | don't have all the facts. | have this letter. I’m a data guy. | want to hear all the information first. | think that
would be more helpful. | don’t know how we move forward in the future how that gets handled. | think that would be best
for all sides involved that both sides are given ample sort of time to express themselves or talk about their grievance as it
were and then we can move on from there. | understand that now the situation is with NPD. So that might not be
appropriate but certainly in the future | think that would be maybe best. | don’t know. Something that we can discuss as
Aldermen. | think that’s it forme. Thank you.

Alderman Dowd

Two very quick things. One — we had the first reading of R-22-009 tonight. We will be discussing in Budget on the 28". It
will come back to the full Board on the 8". We have 30 days so Budget Committee review the contracts so if you have
any questions. If you have questions you'd like to get answered, if you want to reach out to me, I'll make sure the Police
Department gives us an answer before the meeting and other questions. There will be people from the Police Department
here to answer the questions on the negotiations but we have 30 days.
