On July 23 the Millyard Nano Brewery which is on East Otterson Street is doing a fundraiser for the Dreams
Heard Foundation which is located in Nashua. If any of you have family members or children that have
hearing loss or deafness this organization provides funds and help locate services for children throughout the
year including camps.
Alderman McGuinness
| lost my father a week or so ago and | want to extend my thanks to all of you for your sympathy and the
flowers.
Alderman LeBrun
Some months ago | met with Alderman Deane and Ms. Marchant in reference to the skateboard park and |
expressed the same concerns that the previous public speaker expressed. This is not the place for another
facility. There are too many problems in that area and too much congestion.
Alderman Lopez
With respect to the skateboard park, | don’t Know enough about the site selection to start second guessing the
whole process but what | will say is that it did strike me as a surprise that we are moving it so far away from its
other site because | would have imagined that local neighbors would have probably been the main users of it.
| will also say that there is a skateboard park on West Hollis and Ash Streets that is very popular. | definitely
look forward to the discussion at the Infrastructure Committee meeting. | also wanted to announce that on July
4" the Riverside Bar-be-que and at Bicentennial Park there are two events going on to celebrate the 4" of July.
There are a lot of Veteran’s in our downtown area who can’t celebrate the 4" of July with a Bar-be-que
because they don’t have a backyard. All Veterans are welcome.
Committee announcements: None

Governance recommendations
In this case we recommend that the City of Nashua be the owner and and operator,
with at least two partners:
1. A foundation to raise money and represent the interests of the private sector.
2. Aprogrammer to bring cultural and entertainment events to the new facility.
We make this recommendation given:
The City has the resources and the ability to recruit the skills required to manage
the Center, and the City’s mandate to serve local residents is consistent with our
operating goals of providing access and support to local and regional residents
and visitors.
The Foundation can play a role through the renovation, leading the private sector
component of the capital campaign and providing guidance and advice to the City
as the project advances. Once the Center opens, the Foundation can play an
ongoing role in fundraising for annual support, taking some responsibility for
programming, education, and outreach. That promise of an ongoing role will be
important to drive private sector financial support for construction and operations.
A programmer can be solicited through a competitive bid process and be
contracted to take the risk on programming the Center.
