BOARD OF ALDERMEN PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD

R-16-055

Expendable Trust Fund for the NH Holocaust Memorial
Rotary Common

On your agenda this evening is R-16-055 which establishes an ETF for the NH Holocaust
Memorial at Rotary Common Park.

Following your adoption we will deposit several thousands of dollars into this ETF to pay for
maintenance, including the water irrigation system that is now being installed by the city.

We have several outstanding monuments in this memorial, which The Telegraph declared to be
one of the finest memorials in the Northeast.

I should note that the monument we emplaced in the spring of his years is an approx. 9,000
pounds solid granite monument into which is carved the 48-inch tall life-sized image of a little
girl taken from a photograph from the Auschwitz Album, a collection of photos of 424,000
Hungarian Jews deported to Auschwitz over a period of 8 weeks in 1944. Her photo can be seen
on the card available to visitors from the brochure dispenser placed near the entrance. We hope
to have captured her indescribable expression, shortly before she was murdered in a gas
chamber. Above her image are engraved the words from Genesis Chapter 4 Verse 10, “iVhaz
have you done, the voice of blood cries out from the ground.”

There are no additional monuments planned for this memorial; it is complete.

With this ETF, we will transition ownership and maintenance of the memorial to the city of
Nashua, consistent with R-10-43. We hope the city will soon construct a foot bridge across
Salmon Brook, connecting what former Mayor Lozeau called the “sad part with the happy part.”
Eventually we expect to see Rotary Common become an integral part of Nashua downtown,
extending from Library Hill past Simoneau Plaza.

We hope to see public and private donations and grants deposited into this Expandable Trust
Fund.

I thank the city for its sponsorship of this memorial, and I thank in particular former Mayor
Lozeau, Director Lisa Fauteux, Nick Caggiano, Bob Genest, Andy Patrician, and many others in
the Department of Public Works who supported this memorial 100% and assisted with its
construction.

We thank you.

SUBJECT: Fiber Optical Cable Testing Tool
During the past several years, the IT Department has been hiring contractors to diagnose issues with the City’s fiber optic
network infrastructure. The City owns roughly 45 miles of Fiber Optic cable that connects the City buildings and traffic
cabinets. Additionally, there are countless miles of fiber optic cable internal to the buildings and garages. Each time an issue
arises or failure occurs, we are forced to bring in a contractor who has the correct equipment to diagnose and locate the
problem. Acquiring our own testing equipment, thus eliminating the extra cost of outside contractors, is both cost-effective

and time-saving. This is a budgeted purchase item.

We have obtained three quotes and wish to purchase this hardware from TEquipment for the amount of $20,933.40

Re: Consultant Funding for Lawson technical support from Surety System

We are requesting funding in the amount of $15,000.00 for Lawson technical support for Payroll
personnel. This is not continuous support but occurs on an as required basis. The support would
involve resolving issues that may be encountered while processing payroll which could
jeopardize the completion of payroll on a scheduled payday. Also, the support involves tailoring
the current Lawson system for both the City and School District as Union Contracts may provide
provisions which require altering the existing system to conform to the new requirements.

The funds associated with this request have been approved in the FY18 budget of HR/Payroll.

Sincerely,

J
