recommended to them that they try to ask the Chair of the committee - the relevant committees for a special meeting but
given the date that was just read for when it needs to be on the Governor's desk even that wouldn't work because it has to
come back here. So | don't know that President Wilshire is entirely to blame. | think she's just trying to be flexible for
public health needs so that we're able to put the resources that we are eligible for into use effectively and don’t let them
get caught up in bureaucratic issues.

President Wilshire

Further discussion?

Alderwoman Lu

Thank you. | appreciate Alderman Jette’s point and just to clarify, | don't think there's any question that the President did
anything wrong. | think the point is just that that type of insight as to why we are moving things along this way is helpful

and it's helpful to everyone. Yeah, | don't think that there was any question that you did anything on purpose. It sounds
like you found something out this morning. Thank you.

ON THE QUESTION

Board of Aldermen 11-23-2021 Page 19

Alderman Lopez

| just wanted clarifications Madam President. Are we just going to be doing this for this motion as well or is it possible to
suspend the rules for the ones that we need to read specifically the public health grants as a collective? So suspend the rules
to read and then the Resolutions all at once?

President Wilshire

We could do that.

Alderman O’Brien

ON THE QUESTION

Alderman O’Brien

Thank you. Nice job, everybody.

Alderman Lopez

| just wanted to clarify a little bit of Public Health. This grant and then the 199 one that was for STD workforce
development and COVID. Like if ever we needed a comment, it was STD, and workforce development, and COVID-19,
and particularly STDs have become an increasing problem over the past few years. Probably partly because of our
isolation in COVID and that kind of thing. But one of the things that the Public Health Department noted was that there's a
surge in syphilis. So we're bringing back some blast from the past and | would just urge the public to be cautious in your
decision making.

President Wilshire

Thank you Alderman Lopez. Any further discussion? Okay, motion is for final passage. Would the Clerk please call the
roll?

MOTION CARRIED
Resolution R-21-201 declared duly adopted.

Without objection, President Wilshire suspended the rules to allow for a first reading of two Resolutions that
were received after the agenda was prepared.

Alderman Jette
| feel a need to object but I'm not sure because I'm not sure why these are being brought in under suspension?

President Wilshire

You would have to ask the maker of the — Alderman Klee.
Alderman Klee
Thank you, Madam President. The reason for the request for the suspension is that this is something that has a real time

crunch on it. There is a current development plan in place for this property. When the developer spoke, he mentioned
that if the city wanted to buy it, he would step back. Since then he has come back. He said he still would step back but

he didn't have the authorization to turn it over to the city to assign it to the city. He didn't have the authorization for third
party. This means that we have to work with the seller, etc. At this point, I'm not really sure whether or not that's going to
go through but in order to do this, | refer to this oftentimes as this request here is kind of like getting pre approval for a
mortgage. We have to show that we are good faith. That if we want to buy this, this suspension does nothing more than
allow it to go to all of the committee's. We're not going to vote on it. There will not be a second reading. It will just go to
the appropriate - much like we’re doing with all the other suspensions that we've done. We just brought it in.

There's a time crunch. We need to get this through as quickly as possible so nobody loses any money in it if, in fact, they
do allow us to purchase this piece of property. | could go into the details of it but | think we just really need to talk about
the suspension of it. This piece of property is connected, actually almost surrounded, in three areas of Greeley Park. It's
very important that we look at it, it gets discussed, and so on. I'm not asking the committee here to vote one way or the
other. I'm not asking on the merits of it. | just want it to go forward before for a public hearing, before the Budget, before
Infrastructure, and to go forward the Planning Committee. That's all this is doing. It's just a suspension of the rules to
allow it to go forward. No discussion here as to whether it was right or wrong. It will eventually come back to the Board.
Because it’s a bond, it will need 10 votes by the - just like all other ones, the supermajority. Nothing more than that, just
asking for a suspension so can move forward.

Alderman Jette

Thank you.

Alderwoman Lu

| had a question. | haven't had a chance to look at the paperwork as | just received it as | stepped up to attend this
meeting. So | think that what you want to allow us to move forward is that the City of Nashua buys a piece of property?
Okay. So did we not know it was on the market before? Is this just a big surprise and we had always wanted that piece of

property?

President Wilshire

Can we can defer this to the committee? This is just a suspension of the rules to send it to a committee. We're not
debating the merits of this legislation this evening. If it gets to committee and you don't agree with it, you can vote against
it but | don't want to start debating this because it's not - the only thing we're doing here is suspending the rules to bring it
in.

Alderwoman Lu

To buy the piece of property?

President Wilshire

That's what the legislation is but that's not what we're voting on this evening. We're voting on suspension of the rules.
Alderwoman Lu

No, | understand. Sure. No, | understand.

Alderman Klee

Just a comment. Thank you very much. The reason why you did not have it was because this was all came to light on
Friday.

Alderwoman Lu

On Friday?

Alderman Klee

Friday, this past Friday. Legislation was put through and | think Donna didn't get it until about a couple hours before this

meeting started. That's when all the legislation was finalized. That’s the reason why you have it now. That is why we're
only asking for suspension not to discuss the merits of it one way or the other. That will happen in all the committees and

Board of Aldermen 11-23-2021 Page 26

that's where it should happen. This would be no different than if this were December 14" and this showed up without a
rule of suspension. Nothing more, nothing less. It would still go forward.

Alderwoman Lu

Sure. And just to follow up? Regarding my vote, I'm going to vote against this suspension because | do feel that this
body — well there are many things that are couched in. This is a rush and I...okay, you're nodding your head but it
suggested that there's a real time crunch here and | personally don't care to act that way, especially when I've never
heard a word about our interest in buying property at this area but thank you.

President Wilshire

The motion is to suspend the rules to allow the first reading of Resolution R-21-202. Further discussion on the motion to
suspend? Seeing none, would the Clerk please call the roll? Oh, I'm sorry Alderman Clemons.

Alderman Clemons

Yeah | just wanted to be at added as a co-sponsor that was actually supposed to happen with this legislation and the
other one, but | didn't get to Corporation Counsel in time. So if my name could be added to this one and the next one, I'd
appreciate that.

President Wilshire

Okay. Thank you Alderman Clemons. | didn't ask for additional sponsors. | was going to suspend the rules to bring it in
and then ask for sponsors.

Alderman Clemons

I’m sorry.

President Wilshire

That's all right. You jumped the gun. That's okay. The motion is to suspend. Would the Clerk please call the roll now?
