Nashua Aldermen,

| am writing regarding the mayor's proposed appointment of Matthew Sullivan to the role
of Community Development Director. | applaud the mayor for this appointment as |
have had the opportunity to work with Mr. Sullivan over the last couple years as we’ve
worked thorough the permitting for a retirement home we seek to build.

In the numerous dealings with Mr. Sullivan, | have found him to be consistently
professional, knowledgeable, sincere, accurate, personable and quite a pleasure to
work with. He returns calls and does what he says he'll do! | am confident that these
traits will serve him, and the City, well in a role of increased responsibility.

| strongly recommend approval of Mr. Matthew Sullivan’s appointment.

Best Regards,

“Motes Bad

Hi Graham,

I am writing in regards to the current proposal for outdoor dining in Nashua

downtown. The outdoor dining areas in Nashua's downtown that were implemented
during COVID, have brought so much energy and life to the downtown area. We meet
friends and family on a regular basis downtown and love sitting outside and enjoying the
outdoors and the camaraderie of our fellow Nashuans. The setup was not perfect, and
can be improved upon, but it is something that I believe is such a benefit to the
businesses of Downtown, that it should be kept and improved upon.

Sincerely,

Staci Blecharczyk

Goad afternoon,

i wanted to send a brief message of support for outdoor dining. Not only did outdoor dining help save multiple
downtown restaurants during a challenging time, it livened up our downtown. | hope to see outdoor dining in the future
as we continue to expand and improve the process.

Subject: Jersey Barriers

CAUTION: This email came from outside of the organization. Do not click links/open attachments if source is
unknown.

Asa resident of Ward 2 for the past 23 years, my wife and | write to oppose placing the jersey barriers out again this
coming year. While we are grateful that the City implemented the use of these barriers to create more space for
outdoor dining during COVID, we do not believe it is necessary to continue the expanded seating areas. The reduced
flow of traffic makes it very difficult to travel downtown. As a practicing attorney in Nashua for over 23 years, it is
important for me to be able to travel downtown without unnecessary traffic. While my wife and | enjoy dining
downtown, we believe that the outdoor seating that has historically been limited to the sidewalk is more than sufficient.
Furthermore, when we go to patronize other businesses on Main Street, the jersey barriers result in us never being able
to secure parking on Main Street. We hope that you do not adopt this ordinance.

Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Deposit of $4,000 into the City of Nashua Expendable Trust Fund

The Memorandum of Agreement to construct the NH Holocaust Memorial in Rotary Common
was adopted by the City of Nashua with Resolution R-10-43 on August 10, 2010 and signed by
Mayor Lozeau on August 26, 2010.

The Memorandum of Agreement provides for:

> Part III: The Corporation shall establish an endowment fund for purpose of maintaining the
memorial. $13,500 and any additional funds remaining upon completion of construction shall
be initially deposited into the maintenance fund. Proceeds from this fund shall be transferred

as necessary to the city and deposited into an expendable trust fund designated to maintain the
memorial.

The Holocaust Memorial in Nashua, Inc. established a fund since the adoption of Resolution R-10-
43 in year 2010, which has been used to maintain the memorial.

During a meeting on 18 July, 2016 the city’s Department of Public Works expressed the need for a
not-to-exceed $4,000 for constructing a water irrigation system to maintain the memorial site.

The City adopted an Expendable Trust Fund (ETF) #7579 with Resolution R-16-055 on September
14, 2016. This memorandum serves to document the deposit of four thousand dollars ($4,000) by
corporate check #0616 dated October 7, 2016 into this Expandable Trust Fund.

With this $4,000 deposit to the city’s ETF the corporation’s maintenance fund is now depleted to
below $500. With no additional contributions received nor expected since construction was

completed, and the anticipated dissolution of the corporation with its mission now accomplished,
this mefintenance fund is not expected to grow. 4

David L. Boucher, Superintendent
Wastewater Department

Maintenance Contract for Energy Recovery Generators

To approve the Energy Recovery generator 3-year maintenance contract with
Southworth-Milton, Inc. (Milton CAT) of Milford, MA in an amount not to
exceed $277,014. Funding will be through Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund:
Wastewater; Account Classification: 54 Property Services.

The Energy Recovery facility was recently upgraded to include 2 new generators,
purchased form Milton Cat, that run on digester gas generated from the primary
and secondary sludge digesters. The installation of the new generators was
completed in August 2021.

Milton CAT provided an O&M manual for the new generators that includes
different levels of maintenance required based on hours of operation. Milton
CAT has been performing oil changes and other maintenance related work on a
temporary basis until a maintenance contract is established and approved.

Quotes for a 3-year maintenance contract was sent to several vendors. Only
NEESCO and Milton CAT responded back with a maintenance proposal and
quote. It was difficult to compare the proposals duc to the different maintenance
approach offered by each company. Although NEESCO’s quote was lower than
Milton CAT, Milton CAT has specific knowledge on the functions of these
specialty generators and can provide ready access to spare parts as they are the
authorized representative of Caterpillar. This would also minimize long lead
times for repairs should any generator parts fail.

Milton CAT have provided a quote for the 3-year maintenance on two generators
in the amount of $277,014. Their costs include a top end engine overhaul between
years 2 and 3, which was quoted at $42,380 per generator.
