How many other bridges around Nashua are we going to be doing projects like this on?

Mr. Kohalmi

The Main Street Bridge will need some work, | am not intimately familiar with each bridge; but | know the Main
Street Bridge will need some work as well as the Hudson Bridge over the Merrimack.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

| was just going to ask what is considered the Main Street Bridge? Is that the Bridge right down there by
Canal Street?

Mayor Donchess

Yes, going over the Nashua River, right by Peddler’s there.

Alderwoman Kelly

Yes | was wondering if you know how long this might extend the useful life of the bridge? It sounds like it is
coming to its end by what you said before?

Mr. Kohalmi
| really don’t have a good answer for that, this is Phase | of 2 or 3 Phase project. First we have to need to

keep the spalling from getting worse and then we need to start making repairs to the concrete. | don’t foresee
anything, this bridge needing major repairs for quite some time. Right now it is in OK shape.

Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you.
Alderman Caron

Yes thank you. So when this repair work is being done, is that bridge going to be closed or it is going to be
one lane?

Mr. Kohalmi

It is not going to be closed, the work is underneath the bridge. There may be some sporadic one-way
alternating traffic. But no it is not going to be closed.

Alderman Caron
Ok good thank you.
Alderman O’Brien

A little off subject but the same bridge, how is the lighting on the bridge? | remember there was talk in the past
about torch lighting that’s quite elaborate where you can never replace that. You know, is it working?

Finance Committee - 07/10/2019 Page 16
Mr. Kohalmi

| can’t speak to that Alderman, I’m not aware of the lighting on it.

TO: City of Nashua Finance Committee
FROM: Gary Braun, 8 Monza Road, Nashua NH
RE: Statement re: Proposed Contract with Humane Society

DATE: 7/10/19

Members of the Committee and Mr. Chairman. Thank you for this opportunity to speak. May
name is Gary Braun. I’ve resided at 8 Monza Road, Nashua NH with my wife Nancy, since 1991. I’m semi-
retired after being a lawyer for almost 30 years. I’ve already provided you 2 letters, one dated May 17,
2019 and the second dated tuly 9, 2019. | would like to enter those letters onto the record this evening,

along with a copy of this written statement.

We've had cats living with us for almost all of the time we’ve resided in Nashua. In September
2017 one of our neighbors used a live trap to trap one of our cats. The neighbor claimed that our cat
was harassing a cat living with the neighbor. It may be that the neighbor thought our cat was feral. We
were informed that a high ranking officer of the Nashua police department advised our neighbor to
obtain the live trap from the Humane Society of Nashua. Our neighbor called the Police Dept.’s Animal
Control Officer (ACO) after catching our cat in the live trap. The ACO took possession of my cat — i.e.
seized the cat - transported the cat to the Humane Society, and impounded her there pursuant to this
form which is entitled :Nashua — Municipal Impoundment Claim Form for Police or ACO”. A box is
checked on the form indicating the cat was impounded as a “stray” and/or “for running at large.”
Based on these facts, it is and has always been my position that my cat was impounded by the City and

the ACO on the basis that she was a stray or because she was running at large.

The ACO and the Humane Society do God’s work in my opinion by caring for animals. But the
ACO’s and the City’s actions must be consistent with the authority provided the City by law, as well as

with public pronouncements made by the City with respect to animal control issues. | feel there were

and are a number of significant issues associated with the manner and circumstances under which my
cat was impounded including on the basis of her being a stray or for running at large. | would like to

speak to those issues tonight.

First, please be aware of the information on the Police’s public website covering FAQs regarding
animal control. A print out of the web page is attached to my July 9 letter. | printed out the web page
on July 9" so that information is current. It is information that is currently available to the public in
Nashua and which to my belief has been provided continuously to the public since at least 2017 or
before. The info on the web page is the same as the info shown on the web page in September of 2017
when my cat was impounded as a stray. As you can see, the webpage expressly provides that cats are
not subject to a leash law. The webpage further provides that cats are not required to be licensed. Lastly
and perhaps most importantly, the webpage provides expressly that “there is no law prohibiting cats
from ‘running at large.” If the information on the Police website is accurate, then | ask you why was my
cat impounded as a stray or for running at large? If the info on the website is inaccurate, then the
citizens of the City are not being properly advised what the law is regarding cats in the City. To me it is
fundamentally unfair to lead cat owners to believe that their cats may run free, including off of the cat
owner's property, when in fact the City or Police in practice are impounding cats for running at large or

as strays.

Second, the City’s animal control ordinance (Title or Article 93) on its face authorizes only the
impounding of dogs as strays or for running at large (and perhaps chickens as well). Conversely, the
ordinance does not authorize the City to impound a cat as a stray or for running at large. State law is
similar in that it provides that dogs only may be impounded as strays or for running at large, and only
then pursuant to the terms of the State statute and a licensing law for dogs adopted by the municipality.

| do agree that State law allows a cat to be impounded for having rabies or being suspected of having

SUBJECT: MOTOROLA MAINTENACE CONTRACTS (VALUE: $233,158)
DEPARTMENT: 157 CITYWIDE COMMUNICATIONS FUND: GENERAL

Please see attached communication from William Mansfield, Radio System Manager to Dan Kooken,
Purchasing Manager dated December 4, 2019 for the information related to this purchase request.

Pursuant to § 5-84. Special purchase procedures. The competitive bidding process shall not apply to the
following special purchases: (4) Sole-source procurements, where the proposed purchase is
manufactured by only one company.

The Radio System Manager and the Purchasing Department recommend awarding the contract in an
amount of $233,158 to Motorola Solutions, Inc., Schaumburg, IL.

Respectfully

RE: Motorola Service & System Upgrade Agreements
Dear Mr. Kooken,

Attached please find copies of the Motorola Service Agreement and the System Upgrade Agreement
(SUA il), totaling $233,157.72

The City of Nashua’s radio system is scheduled to be upgraded on a biennial schedule to keep current
with hardware, software and security features to avoid any catastrophic failures. In June of this year the
City’s radio system received its first major upgrade. This upgrade increased the processing speeds of the
radio consoles at both Police and Fire, replaced servers, switches, routers, workstations and software
and has brought the system up to current standards. Due to the ever changing technologies and the
never ending security concerns in the cyber world, it is imperative that the City continue the biennial
upgrades to reduce our risk of a system failure. The first payment of a two year SUA Il would allow the
City to have its next upgrade in FY 2021, once that installment is received. This year’s installment is
$193,963.80.

Along with the System Upgrade Agreement the Communication Division is also requesting to purchase
the following additional services to assist with maintaining the system.

Remote Security Upgrade Services $19,965.24

This service provides the City with the software necessary to upgrade our system security on a weekly
basis. The City receives notification of an upgrade being available, the upgrade is received and then the
upgrade is installed into the necessary equipment.

ASTRO Technical Support $7,806.96
This service allows the Citywide Communications Staff to contact Motorola Solutions experts in Elgin, IL
to assist us in troubleshooting issues or problems with the radio system.

Preventive Maintenance $11,421.72

This service provides a Motorola System Technologist and the Local Radio Shop, Two Way
Communications, to respond to the City on an annual basis and perform Preventive Maintenance on the
system. The City’s Communications Division does not have the equipment necessary to perform this
function. The cost of this equipment would be too costly for the City to acquire and would require a
substantial amount of additional training to be able to perform. it is more cost effective to have the
personnel with the equipment ana training io perform this function.

Pursuant to NRO Sec 5-84 (A)(4}, Special purchasing procedures for sole-source procurements, a
quotation dated May 2, 2019 was solicited from Motorola Solutions Inc. to purchase Maintenance
Services along with the System Upgrade Agreement (SUA II) totaling $233,157.72. Funding for these
services is available in the FY 19 Citywide Communications Budget, Communications Equipment
Maintenance, Account #57. 1. 620 54435.
