Exhibit B
Scope of Work

The operation and management of a public access television organization; or the management of electronic and
online media production and cablecast equipment and use of City offered shared production facilities

The promotion and education of the public with respect to the City of Nashua's Public Access Television services
for promoting community dialogue and communications diversity;

Prepare and report operating budgets to account for city provided funding.

The contracted Vendor’s primary purpose shall be to manage and coordinate access to the City’s Public Access
Channel, and the use of related facilities and equipment by individuals, groups or institutions to the extent that
such channel, facilities and equipment are provided by the City or whose purchase is funded under contract with
the City.

Community Television Channels:

Under the 1984 Cable Act, local franchising authorities may require cable operators to set aside television channel
“access” for parties other than the cable operator to provide video programming over the cable system. The
number of available access channels varies depending on the community, its population, and needs. Cable
operators are expressly prohibited from exercising editorial control over the programming content of any Access
Channel.

The City of Nashua currently has three designated PEG access channels provided under franchise agreement with
Comcast, of which the City has allocated one for Public Access. Location of these channels on the basic tier is the
under discretion of the cable provider. The City is currently authorized to collect cable television subscriber PEG
support fees from the City’s cable television operator, Comcast of New Hampshire/Massachusetts/Ohio, under
authority of State of New Hampshire RSA Chapter 53-C. The City, authorized by federal law, assesses this cable
operator a subscriber fee per month, which is used to fund the management and operation of the community
television channels.

Under the FY2023 annual operating budget the City has allocated funds for public access television. Additional
funding may be available to the City’s selected public access television operator through grants, program
underwriting and sponsorships obtained and developed according to contractual operational guidelines as may be
set forth in the City’s Cable Franchise Agreement, and in the operating agreement that shall be negotiated with
the selected PATO. All additional revenue generated by the vendor must be used pursuant to the agreement with
the City. Additional funding may also be available under any increased funding allocation by the City in subsequent
annual operating budgets, and provided upon contract renewal.

As currently operated and defined in the City’s community television policy and procedure guidelines under
resolution R-06-54, content differentiation exists among the three channels: Government programming (GOV),
Educational programming (EDU), and Public Access Television programming.

Objective:

To promote the public's opportunity for interactive participation through electronic media resources in the overall
community dialogue as a function of day-to-day management of cablecast and production facilities and equipment.
Another important purpose is to actively promote an awareness of this opportunity as widely as possible.

Implementation:
Responsibilities of the Vendor shall include managing the operation of the City of Nashua’s public access television
channel. This includes but is not limited to the following:

Alderman Comeau

Thank you Madam President. | don’t necessarily have a problem with the revised committee assignments. | just wanted
to say the other day Alderman Jette and | attended a kick off meeting for one of our liaison committees and | was
disappointed to hear that in previous years they had very little involvement from their aldermanic liaisons. Just looking at
the new assignments, it seems like there are a couple of Aldermen who have very heavy workloads, including their liaison
committees. | just hope that they are able to perform the work that’s required of all of those committees. If it’s too much
of a workload that maybe we can revise some of that down the road.

President Wilshire

Yes and the reason we appoint a liaison and an alternate is if the liaison can’t make that meeting, then they would reach
out to the alternate and say hey | can’t make tomorrow’s meeting are you available. We do the best we can to represent
all the committees that we are assigned to but it’s not 100 percent possible to always be there. | mean a lot of us work
daytime and it’s not always possible but we do our best. Thank you for that.

MOTION BY ALDERMAN DOWD FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-22-001, BY ROLL CALL

ON THE QUESTION

Alderman Dowd

Yes today | sent out clarification on the questions that came up yesterday. | got the answers from Mr. Dan Donovan — the
CFO of the School District. | hope that answered all the questions that were before us.

Alderman Cathey

Did we get clarification from last night’s meeting on when the contract date the clock started ticking?
Alderman Dowd

| had a discussion with legal counsel today and the date of starts on the first reading. | believe 30 days will be up on
February 11* if | have the date correct.

Alderman Comeau

Given that the 30 days starts on the date of the first reading, it would seem that we do have another Board of Aldermen
full meeting before that deadline expires. If we were to wait until then, it gives the public an opportunity to review this as
well as the Committee members last night. | know they got their questions answered but we haven't allowed the public
time to review that and there may be additional questions that we don’t know of yet. So it think it would be prudent given
that we won’t be in violation of that 30 days to wait until the next meeting for final passage.

President Wilshire

Further discussion?

Board of Aldermen 01-25-2022 Page 12

Alderman Sullivan

Thank you Madam President. | was going to make a motion to definitely postpone this vote until the February 8'" meeting
just to get a chance. It’s a big contract - give a chance to the Board. We just looked at it last night for the first time. We
did get answers and since we are inside the window, | would like to make that motion to see if we could definitely
postpone that vote until...

President Wilshire

Indefinite postponement means we're killing it.

Alderman Sullivan

I’m sorry — definitely postponement.

President Wilshire

You can definitely postpone it to a time certain, is that true? Thank you. Until February...

Alderman Sullivan

February 8'". | want to make sure that we’re inside the window so that this doesn’t expire. Thank you.
MOTION BY ALDERMAN SULLIVAN TO DEFINITELY POSTPONE R-22-001

ON THE QUESTION

Alderman Dowd

Again, just to reiterate that we’re not in a position where we can renegotiate the contract. It’s either a vote up or a vote
down based on the cost of the contract. So I’m not sure what questions could be answered by the public that would affect
this.

President Wilshire

So this is only debatable to the time of the consideration.

Alderman Comeau

Thank you Madam President. Just to agree with Alderman Sullivan, | think that we might not know what questions we
want to ask yet because a lot of people haven't had time to review it. Again, some people saw this for the first time last
night. | think that the definite postponement to the February 8" meeting is prudent and will give us time to make sure that
it’s properly reviewed and vetted before we vote to pass it.

President Wilshire

Anyone else?

Alderman Clemons

Madam President, roll call.

A viva voce roll call was taken which resulted as follows:

ON THE QUESTION

Alderman Clemons

Roll call please.

Alderman Moran

Thank you Madam President. | was fortunate enough to join the Public Health meeting as an alternate because
Alderwoman Timmons could not attend. We heard some data from the doctors at the local hospitals and the medical
staff. This seems like a very pragmatic ordinance to temporarily extend this for thirty days. | will have to acknowledge
everyone that spoke on both sides, | think it is very important that the public have public input whether you agree with
something we do or not. | think public dissent is American and we should be doing that as much as we can. We may not
always agree, but we need to listen to each other.

Masks and COVID for me is very personal. | lost my father to COVID. He was 52 years old. So | take any precautions as
you can as serious as possible. With that being said, | also understand that the medical community is not always right
and | am part of the medical community. I’m a healthcare worker. Sometimes we have a tendency to have a white coat
mentality and we tell you what is right and we don't take into your opinion. Fortunately science is pretty black and white.
Yes the efficiency of cloth masks is not as effective as N95 but we’re trying to do something to relieve the burden of our
healthcare workers in the hospitals.

| can say that it seems like that the endemic is in sight and that we all want to get back to living as normally as possible
without masks. | believe that and | hope this is the first and only vote that | would make to extend this mandate given the
data that I’ve been seeing and that | can read and understand myself without having the Board of Health explain it to me.
We are going to have a sharp decrease very soon but | do think the current decreases that we are seeing are in part due
to these masks that we’re wearing today. That’s alll have. Thank you.

Alderman Lopez

I’ve been volunteering with the United Way to help the hospital workers that need to be tested in COVID because they’re
spread very thin. They’re already being supplemented by FEMA doctors. They're already being supplemented by
National Guards people. They’re struggling too. | empathize with the healthcare workers that have to make decisions
about what risk to put their families in while continuing to practice their careers and work in their practice. | hear and see
many healthcare practitioners considering different areas of work opportunities to be educators, opportunities to work in
healthcare fields that are a little bit more voluntary, particularly hospital workers that are being pushed very hard. As
difficult as COVID-19 has been on all of us, it has been very difficult for hospital workers who didn’t get a summer off,
didn’t get that return to the way things were we all enjoyed when our community transmission was low. They've been
working throughout the whole year wearing mask their whole shift - sometimes 24/7 depending on what roles there are.

| Know multiple residential care facilities have created an isolation model where staff have been recruited to stay on site
for two weeks or one week at a time to minimize the number of people coming in and out of those sites. That comes with
it some financial opportunity but also some serious personal sacrifice. | think the medical community has been doing as
much as it possibly could to offset the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic. | think as politicians, we probably could have
done more many, many opportunities and many, many times if we’d known, if we had better perfect information, better
insight. What we do have, we use.

Scientific data is helpful in predicting outcomes and theoretical models. We rely on those for everything from testing the
weather to organizing mass transportation. Those models say or have said that we were going to see the surge that we
saw in January due to holiday in home interactions and we did. The onset of Omicron did start to coincide with that but
there was a prediction that it could get much worse, much faster if we didn’t intervene so we did. We did implement the
mask mandate.

In the original legislation for the mask mandate that we’re discussing tonight, the Board of Health did reserve the right to
revisit it in February because the models show that there was likely the possibility that this surge wouldn’t be low enough
that it couldn’t just return. So as usual, we have the choice between us to stop or keep going. Do we stop what’s working
and potentially let a resurgence happen, let our hospitals face even more overwhelming, oversubscribing | think that was
used in the Board of Health meeting, or do we just assume that everything will go away like a miracle. | don’t see
miracles. | think we need to do everything we can to protect the people that we love. | think we need to do everything we

Board of Aldermen 01-25-2022 Page 16

can to protect people we don’t know. If that means wearing a mask, | think many people will chose to do that because of
the leadership that the city shows. There will always be people who will not follow laws. We don’t make laws for people
who are going to break them unless we're specifically trying to target them with penalties. Most laws are designed for
people who are going to follow them out of a sense of responsibility to their city and a sense of responsibility to their
community. So while we did hear from some people tonight who are unwilling to follow rules unless the agree with them,
we also heard from a lot of citizens who are willing to do what is necessary to help other people and who will abide with
uncomfortable situations if necessary.

Alderman Jette

Madam President would it be in order — | noticed that the Chairman of the Board of Health is here. Would it be in order to
allow him to explain to us why the Board of Health is recommending that we extend the mask mandate?

President Wilshire

Dr. Storace are you willing to give a few minutes since you are here?

Dr. Anthony Storace

Good evening. Thank you for allowing us to be here. One of the things running it across and | think is important is the
fact that this is something unique that has never happened to us at this magnitude. Yes this managed to kill a lot of
different people but times were different, techniques, education was minimum. We're writing this book as we’re going. |
apologize if there’s a lot of confusion because there’s a lot of confusion for us too as well as we listen to information
coming down. | apologize. There’s probably been a lot of politics involved in it as well but we and science don’t like that
at all.

| can tell you that the masks do work. I’ve worn one for 40 years — 10 to 12 hours a day. I’ve never had a patient say hey
doc take it off it doesn’t work. It does work. Yes the Omicron and the Delta particles are small and can get through but
one of the things that all of us wearing the mask help protect is it knocks down most of them and that helps us.

I'll also bring your attention, without naming names, the last time we were here one of the Board of Aldermen came down
with COVID. | think that that was the only person, and you can correct me if I’m wrong, but | believe truly it was because
we were all wearing masks. Yes how did we get, how did he get it, | don’t know. | don’t go home with him. | don’t watch
him. He’s not on surveillance. We know that this last variant — and there’s other variants out there — but luckily it looks
like they’re dying out. This last variant had the bad news extremely infectious. The good news, not as (inaudible) as
Delta. The vaccines that we gave out who I’ve know many people who have been vaccinated who have gotten Omicron.
So that happens. | know one person in particular personally who’s gotten COVID three times. | personally think he
should be a study model for the case. While that’s true but each one of those cases was verified by a nucleic acid test
which is very, very sensitive to what is going on.

So we know it’s there. We predicted the surge. We were getting tired. We got a little bit lax. We went out and partied at
Christmas and Thanksgiving and we told you there would be a surge and even a spike on top of the surge. They were
thinking that by mid-January based on the models from the University of Washington, also from John Hopkins, thought
that this would kind of crest in our area by the second weekend of January. Now they're predicting it’s more like the first
weekend in February. Yes if you go on the CBC website and you look at the graph, you'll see we're coming down. When
you look at those graphs, you have to remember it’s also like looking at a stock graph. Is it going down? Should | buy?
Oops is it going back up or is it flattening out? We don’t know. We just don’t know. We’re hoping it’s going in the right
direction. The bad news is it’s not going in the right direction fast enough that we feel comfortable saying take the masks
off, we can go ahead, there will still be some spread but it will be reasonable.

One of the things we feel the masks have done significantly is help the hospitals and we know that that’s a problem. We

have National Guards in our hospitals here in Nashua filing in for people. It’s been a tough road as Mr. Lopez has talked

about. Yes there’s financial gain but there’s a huge personal price you have to pay when you work those hours under that
kind of stress, etc., etc.

I’m not a pediatrician so | can’t answer any of your questions regarding the schools. The school mandates for masks
come from the School Department. | have some of the staff here who’d be more than happy to share the data if you’re
data driven. If you’re tired and you don’t want to hear it, that’s okay too. | understand. | look at the data every day. Like
I’ve said last time, studying for infectious disease for the last two years just to try to keep up and watch the changes. One
week we hear one thing. The next week we hear something totally different or a variation on that. That’s the book being

Board of Aldermen 01-25-2022 Page 17

written and the sound you hear is the person erasing what was just said the last week before. Again, it’s changing. Any
questions you might have? Thank you for consideration. Again if you want to hear from the staff, please.

Alderman Klee
Thank you Madam Chair and this question may be for Corporation Counsel. I’ve gotten a lot of phone calls relative to the
previous mandate and this is basically just an extension of it. Defining businesses and so on and did that also include

churches and private schools within the city limits obviously?

Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel

We in the Legal Department have discussed this and we believe it would not include churches or would include private
schools.

Alderman Klee
Thank you.

Alderman Comeau

Thank you Madam President. In preparation for the meeting tonight, | have been doing a lot of thought to the term
“representative government” and how to interpret that. | know it’s not feasible or practical to entertain the idea of sending
every ordinance and resolution to the public for a vote every time that we discuss something so they depend on us to do
that for them. There’s basically two ways that I’ve come up with that you can look at that. The first is that they ask
somebody to go and make their decisions for them and the second possible interpretation is that they ask somebody to go
deliver their voice. So which one are we? | think that it’s probably both. The right answer to most things is it’s in the
middle. It’s both. It depends on the situation. If there’s a topic that we’re debating that we feel that the public is 50/50 on,
| think they expect us because they voted for us to vote our conscious, our ideals, and our values.

However if there’s a topic that’s overwhelmingly lopsided, | think that we’re doing a disservice to the public when we
ignore their very loud voice. So I’ve done a little bit of looking at some of these numbers and | know that we all get the
same e-mails. So we’ve all been reading them over the last week or two. Over 90 percent of the e-mail correspondence
that we’ve gotten is for us to vote no on this. | personally have received 100 percent of the correspondence to my
personal e-mail that was asking us to vote no on this. | kept track of the speakers tonight. It was about 70 percent
against and | did do a very, very informal poll on the Nashua Scoop which is the largest social media site in Nashua.

They have membership from every ward, of every political belief. They are roughly 50 percent larger than the next largest
group with 15,000 members and over 70 percent of the respondents to that poll are opposed to this mandate with
hundreds of responses in the last 12 hours.

| think that it’s our responsibility as public servants to serve the public. I’m not going to debate whether masks work, or
the science, or anything like that because I’m wildly unqualified to do so. We've been asked to represent the public and
it's very clear what the public wants. | don’t think there’s any debate about what the majority of the public wants us to do
and it’s our responsibility to do that. Thank you.

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you. | actually wanted to start out the gentleman from the Board of Health really did an incredible job and you
started off by saying I’m sorry. | just wanted to say thank you not just for serving but for really putting out why you put this
ordinance in front of us.

It’s going to come as no Surprise to anybody that | support this. | support our health workers. | support our Board of
Health and the job that they are asked to do. They are experts in their field and they are here like any other department
head whether it’s the Chief of Police, the Chief of Fire. If they’re telling us that this is the appropriate thing to do, then |
100 percent am going to be backing that. Thank you.

Alderman Dowd

Yeah I’m just going to make a couple points. One is | don’t think anybody likes wearing masks. | think if you took a vote,
nobody likes wearing masks. So that’s a given. | know | don’t like wearing masks. However, a couple of points. One —
we had a big scare. We had a family gathering and one of my 12 year old granddaughters came down with COVID. It put
the whole family in lockdown. Fortunately she had been fully vaccinated and it was a mild case. No one else came down
