RESOLUTION

RELATIVE TO ADDRESSING POSSIBLE INEQUITIES IN SICK
LEAVE POLICY FOR CERTAIN UNAFFILIATED EMPLOYEES

CITY OF NASHUA

In the Year Two Thousand and Eighteen
RESOLVED by the Board of Aldermen of the City of Nashua

WHEREAS a change to the policy related to sick leave accumulation and
severance payment upon retirement was made effective July 1, 2001;

WHEREAS said change to the policy in certain cases may have resulted in
employees being deprived of a benefit that had already been earned;

NOW THEREFORE it is hereby resolved that the Unaffiliated Employees
Personnel Policies Section B. 3. Sick Leave shall be amended by deleting the
redlined language and adding the bold language in paragraphs 4 & 5.

RESOLUTION

PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CHARTER RELATIVE TO FILLING
VACANCIES ON ELECTED BOARDS BY MAJORITY VOTE OF THE REMAINING
MEMBERS OF THAT BOARD

CITY OF NASHUA

In the Year Two Thousand and Eighteen

RESOLVED by the Board of Aldermen of the City of Nashua that pursuant to RSA 49-
B:5, the following amendment to the Nashua City Charter is deemed necessary and shall be
submitted to the voters by placing it on the ballot at the next regular municipal election on
November 5, 2019, in the manner required by NH RSA 49-B with the following summary:

Shall the municipality approve the charter amendment summarized below?

This amendment changes the way that vacancies on the Board of Aldermen, Board of Education,
Board of Public Works, and Board of Fire Commissioners are to be filled until the next
municipal election. Currently, if there are more than six (6) months remaining in an unexpired
term that has been vacated, the vacancy is filled by a special election held after forty (40) days
but before one hundred and eighty (180) days following the creation of the vacancy, or, if the
regular election timing is appropriate, the vacancy can be filled by the non-incumbent candidate
who receives the most votes at the regular municipal election for the next term of office which is
then vacant. This charter amendment would instead require vacancies on the Board of
Aldermen, Board of Education, Board of Public Works, and Board of Fire Commissioners to be
filled until the next municipal election by majority vote of the remaining members of that board
within sixty (60) days following the creation of the vacancy.

Amend the City Charter by adding new underlined language as follows:
Ҥ 44, Vacancy in office of aldermen

Vacancies occurring in the office of alderman [aldermen] from any cause shall be filled

termras-seon-asthe election results-arefinat until the next municipal election by the election

purpose of filling the vacancy within sixty (60) days following the creation of the vacancy.”

[Board of Public Works]
Ҥ 59. How chosen: tenure of office

chosen by the qualified voters of the city at large, voting in their respective wards. .

Vacancies s shall be tilled es follows: Hethere is atleast si (6) months and one (1) day

; 2 2 until the
next municipal election by the election of some qualified person by the recorded votes of at

following the creation of the vacancy.”
