PLease forward to all of the so called alderman. Thank you.

| am ashamed to have you alderman represent this city. Not only are you all cowards for voting for the
stupid mask mandate, you are even bigger cowards for not allowing any public comments during the
meeting last night. For those that are supposed to represent the people of this city, you are complete
frauds.

1 will be supporting business’ that ignore your ridiculous mandate and will be working to support

whoever oppose you in the next election.

There is no DEFINITIVE PROOF that wearing masks prevents the spread of Covid.
To date , there are NO confirmed deaths in NH or the country from Omicron.

Passing this will dramatically affect the small business’ in our city during a critical time of
the year.

DO THE RIGHT THING AND VOTE NO !!

Comments | was participating in the Nashua NH town Zoom meeting on 21

Dec 2021 regarding the reinstitution of a mask mandate. |
made an audio comment that they don't want the public to
speak unless their comments support their masking narrative. |
was immediately booted from the meeting and could not rejoin
as a taxpayer and concerned citizen. Who is the host and on
what authority can they ban participation from public meetings?
We have this thing called the First Amendment... Does the
Nashua Board of Aldermen not recognize that Constitutional
right? | look forward to your reply.

MOTION BY ALDERMAN SIEGEL THAT ALL COMMUNICATIONS BE READ BY TITLE ONLY
MOTION CARRIED

From: Fred S. Teeboom, President, Holocaust Memorial in Nashua, Inc.
Re: | Assumption of Ownership and Maintenance of the NH Holocaust Memorial

MOTION BY ALDERMAN SIEGEL TO ACCEPT AND PLACE ON FILE
MOTION CARRIED

PERIOD FOR PUBLIC COMMENT RELATIVE TO ITEMS EXPECTED TO BE ACTED
UPON THIS EVENING

Attorney Andrew Prolman, Prunier & Prolman, Nashua, NH

| represent the Renaissance Downtown, the developer of the Bridge Street Project that hopefully is
closing this coming Friday. | am here in support of the temporary skate park easement and | am here to
answer any questions the Board may have when that matter comes up.

Mr. Fred Teeboom, 24 Cheyenne Drive

You just acted affirmatively on the communication on your agenda. The purpose for this communication
is to place on the city’s record the assumption of ownership of the memorial. You will notice that it is
signed by the mayor and myself, acting as the president of the corporation. It follows Resolution R-10-
043.

It took six years to construct the memorial, a period from 2010 to earlier this year in 2016. It took an
additional year of preparation primarily getting the 501(c)(3) designation for the corporation from the IRS
and also to complete an engineering study that was required by the city and by the state to dig the six
feet deep foundations into the site.

R-10-043, the enabling resolution, was unanimously adopted back in 2010 signed by then Mayor Lozeau
in August, 2010. | want to note that six aldermen that unanimously adopted R-10-043 are still here. I’d
like to mention their names because it is highly appreciated: Ben Clemons, who was then an Alderman-
at-Large, Mark Cookson, David Deane, Brian McCarthy, Lori Wilshire and Mary Ann Melizzi-Golja. They
all signed and they all agreed. There are nine new aldermen so you may want to take your time and
actually read the communication.

R-10-043 resulted in a very successful public/private partnership. There was a lot of private involvement.
There was a great deal of public involvement as well in getting the site ready, doing some of the
foundation work, some of the landscaping and all around assisting with the engineering decisions to get
it all built.

The Telegraph declared this site one of the finest in the entire northeast and | thought that was quite a
commemoration.

The City of Nashua will now maintain this memorial in perpetuity. | understand a video maintenance
contract is being negotiated for a fairly sophisticated video surveillance system for this site with the
contractor that initially installed it almost three years ago. An engineering trust fund has been
established and the corporation deposited a few thousand dollars, quite a few thousand dollars, to help
pay the cost to complete the irrigation system which was just completed last month. If you look at it you
see all of the roses in bloom and everything is coming up green.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Board of Aldermen

FROM: Susan K. Lovering, City Clerk
Donna L. Graham, Legislative Affairs Manager

DATE: December 20, 2021
RE: Proposed Ordinance O-21-082, Requiring Legislation and Related Information
To be Available

At the Board of Aldermen meeting of December 14, 2021, Ordinance O-21-082 was tabled at the full Board
level pending receipt of a memorandum from the City Clerk and the Legislative Affairs Manager.

By way of background in early 2020, President Wilshire, City Clerk Lovering and Legislative Affairs Manager
Donna Graham met with Alderwoman Lu to discuss ways she could more easily research legislation on the
city’s website. Clerk Lovering provided a brief overview of the history of the website, noting that in an effort to
preserve the integrity of the records and the city's website, certain departments were assigned to the maintenance
of certain webpages. The legislative office was assigned the responsibility of maintaining legislation from its
inception to its final disposition.

Several scenarios were discussed to assist Alderwoman Lu with her research online. For example, Clerk
Lovering offered to post the resolution and ordinance logs her office creates to track and maintain the physical
bills. These logs include the bill number and title, dates of all readings, committee assignments, and the dates
and nature of final disposition taken by the Board of Aldermen and the Mayor. Upon review of all options
presented, it was agreed at the conclusion of the meeting that upon final disposition of all legislation, Ms.
Graham would upload the signature page.

The signature page includes all sponsors to the legislation, date of first reading, committee(s) assigned, dates for
second reading, third reading, fourth reading, other action, passed, indefinitely postponed, vetoed, etc. However
when I (Donna Graham) agreed to assume this additional task, it was early in the legislative term and being
newly hired did not realize how time consuming and the additional steps it would take to scan, combine, save,
and upload to the website. This process continued until COVID hit and when the meetings became remote it
became more difficult to get all the required signatures.

In discussing the proposed legislation, both Clerk Lovering and Ms. Graham do not believe the duties prescribed
in the ordinance are sustainable by either office, particularly as it pertains to specifying each date every piece of
legislation is discussed at a committee meeting. Hundreds of bills are introduced over the term, many of which
are tabled indefinitely. Tracking each and every time a bill is mentioned at a standing committee is not feasible

without some type of software program in place.

As of this writing, Clerk Lovering and Ms. Graham are unaware of any software that exists to track legislation
to the detail described in the proposed ordinance. Therefore, it is respectfully requested that the ordinance
remain tabled to allow time to explore sustainable alternatives. In the interim to assist in electronic legislative
research, the City Clerk’s Office has posted the above-described legislative logs dating back to 1970 on the

city’s website.
