PUBLIC COMMENT

Laura Colquhoun

Laura Colquhoun — | live at 30 Greenwood Drive. I’m calling in tonight to say that | strongly disagree with the city in
charging the tax abatement appeals consulting contract to the general fund account. It appears that the City of Nashua
does not want the Nashua residents to know how much money of our tax dollars are going back to both the residential
and commercial property owners on abatements. Now the city is trying to put through assessing expenses through the
general fund. Talk about hiding expenses from the Nashua residents.

In 2011 there was an account that residents could clearly see to tell them how much money was being returned on
abatements. However, the city no longer shows this line item. If a resident wants to get the information, a resident must
file a Right-to-Know and we all know that our Legal Department does not like to answer Right-to-Know requests. By
chance, a resident found out this year by going through expenditure reports that large sums of tax money was being
returned for abatements and now the city is trying to slip through regular expenses into the general fund when this should
be charged to assessing.

Also looking over the list attached to the agenda tonight, some of these accounts have already received their abatements.
Nashua taxpayers are currently paying Vision and our own assessors to do the job of assessing and now this bill comes
up for more help in assessing and the city wants to bury it. | do not object to the bill, however, | object to the fact the city
is hiding it from taxpayers. This bill is for assessing and that’s where it should be charged. Nashua residents did not
know that we’ve already paid $20,000 for consulting fee in assessing because the city swept into general funds. This

action is a clear violation of our trust with city officials. Do the right thing and charge this bill to the right account. This bill
is for $150,000 and taxpayers should know about it so do not sweep it under the carpet. Thank you.

Chairman Harriott-Gathright

Is there anyone else for public comments? Seeing none.

ON THE QUESTION

Amy DeRoche, Hunts Memorial Bldg. & Arts Administrator

I’m on the line.

Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

And | am as well.

Chairman Harriott-Gathright

Amy DeRoche, is that right?

Amy DeRoche, Hunts Memorial Bldg. & Arts Administrator

Yes that’s correct.

Chairman Harriott-Gathright

Are you going to speak to this?

Amy DeRoche, Hunts Memorial Bldg. & Arts Administrator

Yup so we currently have our landline through Fairpoint but the lines are the old copper lines which are being
discontinued so we need to port the line over to Comcast.

Chairman Harriott-Gathright

Anyone have any questions?

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you. Amy it appeared by the contract that they’re picking up the cost of conversion. It’s just the monthly cost to
us? There’s no additional — maybe Director Cummings is the more appropriate here but | looked through it and the only
cost that | can see is (inaudible). Miles is talking — sorry guys.

Chairman Harriott-Gathright

Is there somebody here to speak on that? Okay, Director Kleiner.
ON THE QUESTION

Kim Kleiner, Director of Administrative Services

Good evening Madam Chair and members of the committee. This is for the annual renewal of our legacy admin. system.
The city has been working for a number of years to migrate away from this system. As many of you know, we moved a
number of our assessing functions off of this to the new AP5 system. The remaining processes that we have on this
software is the wastewater billing and we are presently working. We have a team of IT working with our Treasurer and
Tax Department to move that to Munis. That will be the last process that we will have on this software so we see no need
to renew for Fiscal 2023 but we will need to renew for Fiscal 2022.

Chairman Harriott-Gathright

I’m not sure how to pronounce you — Mr. Nick. Do you have anything you want to add to that?

Nick Miseirvitch, Deputy Director of IT

No Director Kleiner addressed everything regarding this piece.

Chairman Harriott-Gathright

Can you give me the pronunciation of your last name?

Nick Miseirvitch, Deputy Director of IT

Miseirvitch.

From: Kelly Parkinson, Purchasing Manager

Re: Tax Abatement Appeals Consulting & Appraisal Services Change Order #1 for in the amount not to exceed
$150,000 funded from the General Fund account 11500 Overlay

MOTION BY ALDERMAN O’BRIEN TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE, AND APPROVE A REVISED CONTRACT -

CHANGE ORDER #1 - FOR CONSULTATION AND APPRAISAL SERVICES FOR VARIOUS TAX ABATEMENT

APPREALS BETWEEN THE CITY AND BARRY CUNNINGHAM, VALUATION RESEARCH COUNSELING IN AN

AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $150,000. FUNDING WILL BE THROUGH: DEPARTMENTS: 132 ASSESSING AND 103

LEGAL; FUND: 11500 OVERLAY ACCOUNT, BY ROLL CALL

Chairman Harriott-Gathright

Director Kleiner is this yours? I’m not Sure.
ON THE QUESTION

Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel

Well | can probably speak more to it.

Chairman Harriott-Gathright

Okay, thank you.

Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel

This particular one is for an appraiser that we use on large expensive properties. Things like the big box stores — Best
Buy, Lowe’s, Kohl’s, the anchor stores which are separate parcels at the Pheasant Lane Mall. So it had been Sears for
the tax years in question. It won’t be Sears going forward. Macy’s, Target, and in fact both Target stores the one at the
mall and the one up on Amherst Street as well.

So this individual and this firm we’ve added more parcels to the list that they are doing the appraisals for us. This is to
prepare for tax abatement appeals either in Superior Court or at the Board of Tax and Land Appeals. This work is not
anything that our in-house staff is prepared or able to do. Significant tax dollars are at stake and our feeling certainly in
the Legal Department that this expertise is needed and will ultimately save us money in the long run.

Chairman Harriott-Gathright

Any questions.

Alderwoman Lu
Yes please. To you through Corporate Counsel.

Could you comment on the callers comments? Specifically have we always put these charges through the overlay
account or have they previously been charged elsewhere?

Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel

Well always is a long time. | would say for at least the last 15 years they've been charged to overlay. No different than
what’s been going on. No different from what is contemplated here. All funds come out of the general fund. Anything
that comes out of the general fund has to be made available by appropriation that the Board of Aldermen passes. Funds
over a certain amount and contracts over a certain amount have to be approved by the Finance Committee. Contracts
that go on for more than a single year have to be approved by the full Board of Aldermen. There is nothing unusual going
on here. There is nothing that hasn’t been done this exact same way for more years than | can remember.
Alderwoman Lu

Can | do a follow up?

Chairman Harriott-Gathright

Yes.

Alderwoman Lu

So partly | don’t understand the overlay. | understand that the State tells us what our overlay contribution is each year.
Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel

No.

Alderwoman Lu

Not the State? No? We determine it?

Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel

Yes.

Alderwoman Lu

And it’s meant for abatements as well as the cost to you know negotiate, etc.?

Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel

Its primary use is to pay for refunds resulting from successful abatement applications or appeals. It also is available for
expenses related to the defects in those type of cases — abatement appeals.

Alderwoman Lu
And a follow up please?

So one question | have is | didn’t see any difference in the list of properties for the change order and the list that was
presented with the original contract for $20,000. | think you said that there was new work added to it?

Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel

There has been. When we originally entered into the agreement with Mr. Cunningham’s firm. We didn’t know how much
we'd be using him for. We listed a lot of property, asked him to take a look, make sure he thought that they were within

Board of Aldermen — 11/28/17 Page 2

made an impact, but we can do better. As | said, the facts — both anecdotal and various studies — show that
this peer recovery coaching has a very significant impact.

So what does a peer recovery coach do? This would often be a licensed drug and alcohol counselor. A peer
recovery coach helps people who are coming off treatment or coming off a 28-day program, who are in
treatment and stay in recovery; helping them with daily problems when they are in a very vulnerable situation
and have trouble thinking through even normal lifetime situations. What if they can’t find housing? What do
they do? Where should they go if they have a different medical problem? How about trying to find a job? How
to organize life in general? This is what a peer recovery coach does; helps a person work through the daily
struggles that a person in recovery has, so that as they advance to 30 days to 60 to 90 to a year to two years
and their brain continues to get better, and they get into a very stable, long-term recovery, this assists a great
deal in that respect. We have this, that is peer recovery coaching or any mentor that works closely with a
person with this type of problem. We have, in the city for several months now, Revive Recovery, which has
opened 263 Main Street. It’s been open since this summer. They’re in grant funding for three years. They’re
led by Justin Ebling, Nikki Casey, and Alan Erwin, who are all in long-term recovery; Justin for 20 years, Nikki
and Alan for about two years.

What I’m proposing is, and of course this issue would be referred to a committee, is that we provide a $42,000
grant to Revive Recovery to hire a recovery coach who can work with people coming off the safe stations
program; either who are coming out of a 28- or 30-day treatment program, (Safe Stations, then the inpatient,
then they come out; sometimes they’re just kind of thrown into life “Well, have a good life,” and we don’t really
know what happens), or into an inpatient recovery program or intensive outpatient program over at Harbor
Homes or elsewhere. This recovery coach could work a caseload of 30-50 people who have reported to safe
stations, and this could be a rotating group, and who have either gone through the 28-day treatment program
or are in another type of treatment. If you agree to fund this proposal, this would be a one-year pilot. We would
propose a contract with Revive Recovery, which we would bring to Finance, to define their obligations under
the grant. But what we need to do with respect to this is to develop data and information that can be used to
show how effective this can be here in Nashua. For example, we can require that their recovery report
indicates how many people that they’re dealing with and how many people they’ve dealt with, how many are in
recovery after 30 or 90 or 180 days or at 360 days, the number of people that have gone into relapse, the
number of people that have been lost. If this proves to be as effective in keeping people — and it won’t be
everyone — but keeping many people in recovery as is suggested by research and by anecdotal reports, then
we can use this data to convince other funding sources to help rapidly expand Recovery Coach network here
in Nashua. It would help us understand much better what is happening to the safe stations’ participants, and it
would help us to demonstrate and gain funding and expand this program.

I’m going to come to the committee and | think | can bring the people from Revive and you can meet them, we
can give you more data and more support. But | think the issue of opioids is affecting so many people and so
many families that | wanted to address you in some length to explain what I’m hoping to do and I’m hoping you
will adopt, and how | think we can build an even stronger response to the opioid problem in Nashua.

RESPONSE TO REMARKS OF THE MAYOR

Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

| would just say, Mayor Donchess, that my experiences working with juveniles through the Juvenile Parole
Board has shown to me that laydex play an important role in working both with individuals as they travel the
road of recovery and their families.
