Alderman Harriott-Gathright

| have a question. So what is a County Commissioners contract?

David Boucher, Superintendent of Wastewater

I'll let John answer that.

Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets

That is a Massachusetts State bid.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

It's a State bid?

Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets

Massachusetts State bid?

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

Okay. So is that the same thing with the Boston Police Council contract?

Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets

Yes. They have several of the contracts for Massachusetts.

Mayor Donchess

So they offer to when this bid takes place, they bid to a large governmental entity and agree to equal the price for every
other governmental entity. So the low bidder to a big contract like that, we can attach ourselves to that and get the same
price basically. We're likely to get a better price and we don't have to put it out to bid ourselves because of the volume
connected with that contract. All right. We didn't vote on that though. Please call the roll.

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess

Is there someone from Public Works here on this? Mr. Fredette is here to tell us that this will need approval of the full
Board of Aldermen because the price exceeds 10% more than the budgeted amount in CERF.

Finance Committee — 12/01/2021 Page 24

David Fredette, Treasurer/Tax Collector

Yes that's what | was going to tell you. So yes it has to be approved.

Mayor Donchess

Now Mr. Ibarra is there anybody here to just cover the solid waste?

Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets

Yes, Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste is on the line.

Mayor Donchess

Oh, okay.

Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste

Thank you. Jeff Lafleur.

Mayor Donchess

So this will appear on the aldermanic agenda.

Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste

Yes Sir. This vehicle here is part of our permit for the landfill. We need to water our roads to keep the dust down so it
doesn't leave the premises. This truck will also help us respond to fires in the landfill (inaudible) much having to call the
Fire Department.

Mayor Donchess

Okay. Questions? You’ve got to be quick.

Alderman Klee

| Know. It actually is just a quick question. You said that it goes to the Board because it's 10% over the budget and |
think that Mr. Fredette was going to speak to it. Is it 10% over the budget because of the current state of affairs of COVID

and so on.

Mayor Donchess

| think it would be because the value was established some time ago Mr. Fredette, right?

David Fredette, Treasurer/Tax Collector

(inaudible)

Mayor Donchess

Sometimes they go over, but you've seen others that were under. A lot of the ones we've approved have been under the
maximum price. This one happens to be over. But if it's more than 10% over, then the Board of Aldermen has to approve
it. Any other comments, questions?

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

| think | just missed something there. So in the budget we didn't have $132,000?

Mayor Donchess

Correct.

REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN

Alderman Lopez

| want to give my condolences to the family members that had to witness their loved ones die on
YouTube. Regardless of the circumstances of why they were there and all of the associated concerns,
no one should have to see that. | also wanted to express my condolences to the police department in
Dallas for the loss that they suffered and just state for the record that the police should never be targeted
for doing their jobs. | want to take knowledge of the foresight that Mayor Donchess had with regard to
ensuring our community, as a whole, is represented when he started the Ethnic Awareness Committee.
It's my belief that we should not have our police on the front line of racial warfare or disagreement of
cultural issues. | think the Cultural Connections Committee has played a good role in that over the years
in creating the disproportionate minority contact, which evolved to be a statewide initiative and is now the
Nashua Red program. It emphasizes how to behave and how to respond when a police officer pulls you
over. It also supports sensitivity training to the extent that New Hampshire can pride themselves on
having the second largest trained police force with regard to sensitivity and our merit program is
regarded as highly effected and a model for the rest of the country. | appreciate that effort and the
foresight. | also look forward to what the new initiative, My Brother’s Keeper, can bring because | believe
as a community if we’re working together and we are well represented, we have a confident professional
police force then everybody will be acting in their best interests and we won’t have tragedies like that in
Nashua.

Alderman O’Brien

| similarly would like to say to my brothers and sisters in the police community, |, too, share their loss with
the tragedy that we witnessed in Dallas and also in St. Joseph, Michigan. | respect what the men and
women of law enforcement do. | know there’s good and bad in each and every single one of us, but I’m
very proud of the force that we have here in Nashua. It shows the investment that we put into them; we
get in return better quality service. Finally, | would like to say welcome to our new twin sister city. | think
this is a big step forward, and | look forward to the communications that come forth. Thank you.

Alderman Moriarty

We mentioned something about black body radiation, and I'll make a comment on the LEDs. If you
looked at a lightbulb and had a detector that could see heat, it would look a lot brighter in heat than it is
visible. | mentioned this because the firemen were here earlier. You can build a camera that has
electronic eyeballs that are particularly sensitive to heat, especially the type of heat that comes off your
body so you can race into a burning building and look through this camera and it will only see the heat at
that particular color that is radiated by people so you can see people in a burning bundling. What is that
relevant to stop lights? | was never a fan, and | am still not a fan of those yellow reflectors that were put
up on all the traffic signals all over Nashua. Especially in 8 or 9, you would come over a hill and you
used to not be able to see anything. You would see trees, you would see houses. Now you see this big
yellow square hanging in the middle. It’s just ugly. | don’t know of anybody who’s never seen the light.
You see the light. Does the big ugly yellow picture frame around the light actually really help that much?
I’m of the opinion that if we’re going to pick the $3,000 or the $4,000 LEDs | would pick the ones that are
not as bright for the very reasons the study showed the people out in the country don’t want these bright
turn signals everywhere. Thanks.

Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

| would also like to welcome the signing of this agreement with the City of Mysore. | think it will not only
enhance our relationships with the city but also help make the members of our community here feel more
of a part of our community. | electronically contacted the chief but will publicly comment about thinking of

The City of Nashua has brought together architects, performing arts center experts, community leaders, arts and
performance organizations, private performance oriented businesses, elected officials, and the broader
community to the conversation. The City and its consultants have produced a report and plan that indicate that
the 201 Main Street Building (formerly Alec’s Shoes) would be the best site, and that an audience size of 500-700

is the right fit for the region.

At this time, the City is working through the process of approval for a bond measure for this project. The total
amount of the bond is $15.5 million. This bond will support both purchasing the building, and the construction
and fit up for this modern venue. In addition, project organizers will also have to raise $4 million from private
donations to make the project possible and most importantly - truly feasible. These private funds will ensure an

endowment that will produce substantial revenue, and offset the cost of ongoing operations of the project.

We, the undersigned, petition the Nashua, NH Board of Aldermen to unanimously vote yes on the passage of
legislation relative to bonding the proposed Performing Arts Center at a meeting of the full Board of Aldermen

at 7 pm on Tuesday, September 12th.

OF WINTER ROAD SALT FROM GRANITE STATE MINERALS OF PORTSMOUTH, NH, AND EASTERN MINERALS,
INC. OF CHELSEA, MA, IN THE AMOUNT OF $465,000. FUNDING WILL BE THROUGH DEPARTMENT 161
STREETS; FUND: 61514 SALT, BY ROLL CALL

ON THE QUESTION

Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So this is an annual expenditure out of our operating budget for winter road salt. What | would like
to mention is that this year's price of road salt has increased dramatically from last year's $49.50 a ton to $72 a ton.
Actually the State bid went out at $72.60 a ton and they give to the city for $72 aton. This will impact us by about 3,000
tons less this year with our operating budget. Hopefully the brining operation that we've implemented and continue to
grow will help us out in that aspect. I'm happy to take any questions you may have.

Mayor Donchess

Anyone?

Alderman O’Brien

Yeah, thank you. It's just mostly a comment. But if you want to speak briefly what the brining process. | think it's been
highly successful. | know, we tried it out and it seems whenever we pretreat, | know, the State pretreats the roads. So as
we're coming into the season, if you just want to give a brief explanation and the benefits of it?

Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets

Sure. So the biggest impact would be the reduction in the use of salt. So making brine we can actually get more out of
the ton per lane mile. This also keeps the hardpack from forming on the road. The limitations are the pavement
temperature, air, relative humidity. So you really have to, more or less, be a meteorologist to know when you can actually
use it. But we're seeing around a 20% reduction in the use of solid material by implementing this brine. Every truck
purchased, that's a big truck, we have the liquid application tank included in the purchase. So we're growing our brine
application process it seems every year. It’s a great benefit to the environment and the budget.

Mayor Donchess

And the roads

Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets

And the roads.
Alderman Klee

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. This is not the same salt or sand that the citizens or residents can get over at the over by Stello's
Stadium?

Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets

So it is actually. We take it out of the salt barn and put it over there and the residents’ salt barn. We have a pile of sand
in the other side of that same little shed.

As far as the brine goes, that is not open to the public. That's an in house application that we use. If any of you are
interested in a tour, we built our own facility over there. It's a really neat process and I'd be happy to show you around.

Alderman Klee

Thank you. So with the reduction of by having 3,000 tons less with this, are we going to still be able to offer it to the
citizens?

Finance Committee — 12/01/2021 Page 28

Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets

We will always take care of the citizens in this city. That is what it exists for.
Alderman Klee

ON THE QUESTION

Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So this is our sidewalk trackers that we use for snow removal on the sidewalks -primarily around
schools. But we do maintain 50 miles of sidewalks throughout the city. These particular tractors you can use multiple
implements. So we get to use them in the summer with the milling attachment. So we do our mill and fill program that's
paving. We grind out bad sections of street that aren't on the paving program and we pave small patches citywide. We
have a sweeper, we have a sickle bar mower form. So it's a multi tool that’s used year round. We typically have nine of
them. We just auctioned off two that were out of service. | have two out back that are out of service. So they work hard.
They beat themselves up every time they run. This is replacing 16-060. It is a 3,200 hired hour machine and I'm happy to
take any questions you may have.

ON THE QUESTION

Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So this will be replacing our 12-105 excavator. It's a 312 Cat and this one will be a rubber tire
machine which will get us out to the jobs a lot quicker. We can actually drive it down over the road versus loading one up
on a flatbed trailer and carting it to the jobs.

As you probably know, we take on through the Division of Public Works a lot of larger scale projects. This will make it a
lot more equitable to take on those projects. It'll be the backbone of our operation, so to speak. We do sewer repairs,
drainage repairs, road work but also projects as the sidewalks downtown and the Greeley Park program, rehabilitation of
the Lincoln Park project, the skate park. All these larger projects, we're getting into and saving the city a lot of money.
This will this will help us continue to do such things and I'm happy to answer any questions relative to this purchase.

allow the guys to change out signs, do any traffic details, and anything to do. 40 will be kept in service as long as
possible. So it's no longer feasible to keep it on the road or if it fails inspection. And, again, I'm happy to answer any

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. This purchase will be to replace our existing street sweeper 1292. It’s a Timco 600 regenerative
air sweeper. We're going to go with a vacuum sweeper, which seems to work a lot better around town to get a lot more
debris up off the street and the curb. This one that we're replacing has 6,392 hours and it's getting near the end of its life.
It’s got a lot of breakdowns. We do run five large sweepers from early spring until fall. They're actually still running now
and will continue to run as long as the weather permits. But this is key to keeping our city streets clean and safe. I'll take
any questions you may have on this purchase.
