Date: June 22, 2022

RE: Communication on R-22-047 Relative to a Supplemental
Appropriation of $75,000 for Saint Andrew’s Park Improvements

I am writing to ask that you favorably approve R-22-047 Relative to Saint Andrew’s Park
Improvements.

The genius of this legislation comes from the sale of a facade easement off Amherst Street.
Where the City released an easement in exchange for $50,000 along with some other additional
minor conditions. At any rate, at the time of when the easement release approval was sought by
me a few ideas were floated as uses for the funds. Specifically, the idea of using it for downtown
public art was articulated. However, this use failed to gain traction and consensus. Fast forward
to the Joint PEDC and Infrastructure Committee on May 17" where now that we had received
the $50,000 I asked the Joint body what their pleasure would be in using the funds. Again, it was
clear that using it on public art in the downtown was not a prevailing matter, but some of the
suggestions were as follows: parking improvements, historic preservation, supplemental CDBG
spending, additional money for the Performing Arts Center or use it on Court Street Theater.

Ultimately, the general sentiment expressed was that there was a preference to preserve the
$50,000 and not allow it to lapse to the unassigned fund balance where it would default to unless
some sort of proactive action was taken. Additionally, it was clear there was consensus to use
the funds for general infrastructure improvements.

To that end and hearing the sentiments of the Joint body. I made some internal inquiries to see if
there was a capital improvement need that fit with the available money. After speaking with
Director Fauteux, I learned that Saint Andrew’s Park was in need of repair. Furthermore, it is my
understanding that Saint Andrew’s Park is the last park in the city to receive some sort of
attention and/or upgrade.

229 Main Street, Suite 234 » Nashua, New Hampshire 03060 * Phone (603) 589-3106

I further learned that there is a tentative plan to procure equipment along the lines of the
following to improve the park if there was $75,000 available:

e Swings including one inclusive
e Climbing Web Activity Net,

Some Playground Structures w/ Climbing Structures and Slides
Congo Drums

e Inclusive spinner

e Mushroom Steps
*Please note, some of these items may change and is for illustrative purposes only to help provide an
understanding as to how the money may be used.

As noted above having identified $50,000 of the necessary $75,000 there is a need to find an
additional $25,000. In consultation with the Finance Department, I learned that through
miscellaneous revenue an additional $25,000 could be identified with a NHRS reimbursement
and the sale of some vehicles/equipment. Using these three sources, we could achieve the
$75,000 without raising the funds through the property tax base.

The below chart more clearly identifies the three sources of funds that aggregates to $75,000.

45100 Sale of Vehicles & Equipment $13,000
45910 NHRS Reimbursements $12,000
45912 Other Reimbursements (release of the easement) $50,000

$75,000

Therefore, 1 am recommending and requesting that R-22-047 be adopted.

THANK YOU.
