Alderman Moriarty

Going back a step, in general how is the Broad Street Parkway working and | will rephrase by saying that
roughly $30 million is city and $30 million is federal. Is there some account somewhere that the federal money
goes into that this is all being spent out of? The total is like $80 million or something, right?

Mr. Vancor

In total, federal funds came into the project through a few different sources; there were the original earmarks
and then there was some additional grants but about $44.8 million in total in federal funds from the beginning
of time was what was envisioned and at the time the city took over or when the bond was authorized, the DOT
had reported that there was $30.5 million in federal funds remaining and so there is never a time when they
take that $30.5 million and put it into an account per se and it’s sitting there ready to take. It’s a case where
New Hampshire DOT programs it as we move along and each contract is programmed for so much and it
depends on the cash flow of the funding and when it’s available; much more so than we realized when we
started out. It’s really reimbursement as the work goes and eligible construction work is completed and the city
puts in for reimbursement. That’s been proceeding and it was proceeding very well until this came up and
basically they are holding $2 million of eligible reimbursements until this gets resolved. That’s the $2 million
that would come back immediately. In total of the $30.5 million that was remaining when the city took over the
project, we are looking at, once this repayment is made, if it’s made, we are looking at $9 million that we need
to recapture; the $6.8 million that they are looking to the city to write a check for and then the remaining
unspent money is $9 million in total. That’s what we need to get reimbursed.

Alderman Moriarty

Okay, so let me ask again, as we go along, the checks that are written for the Broad Street Parkway, what
account are they drawn from?

Mr. Vancor

Checks to pay contractor's you mean?
Alderman Moriarty

Yes.

Mr. Vancor

| don’t Know the specific accounts.

Mayor Donchess

David Fredette, the City Treasurer is here.
Mr. Fredette

Mr. Fredette’s statements were inaudible.

Alderman McCarthy

Expenditures where we haven’t been reimbursed yet; are those coming from bond proceeds or out of...

REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Alderman Dowd

| just wanted to say that | attended the National Night Out at the Boys & Girls Club as did Alderman
Tencza and it was a very nice event, the Mayor was there. | think it did a lot; Chief Lavoie and | were
part of a group that watched a presentation from DEA to the young kids that were there with their
families. It was very entertaining and informative. | think more people should have a chance to attend
that type of presentation. But there were a lot of people there and it was well-received and | just want
to congratulate the Police and Fire Department and everyone else that was involved from the Boys &
Girls Club that evening.

Alderman Lopez

| just wanted to comment we had two pieces of legislation relative to how our City handles substance
misuse and | just wanted to remind members of the Board of Aldermen that we are far from out of the

Board of Aldermen 08-14-2018 Page 15

woods on that. There are still people struggling every day, there are still Fire Stations still open
receiving people looking for a better life. And our Police are dealing, | can say from first-hand
observation, very compassionately with people who are under the influence and making decisions that
affect public welfare. It something we still have a lot of work to do, so | encourage everybody to be
familiar with the resources and services available in our City.

| wanted to extend my condolences to the O’Mara Family for their recent loss.

There is the Downtown Arts Festival on August 25", Saturday on Main Street, so | wanted to invite all of
the members of the Board of Aldermen to attend. And | wanted to wish our Aldermanic Assistant Sue,
Happy Birthday. So Happy Birthday Sue.

Alderman Caron

Yes thank you. Thank you Mayor for talking about Nashua going back to school, we have been dealing
with that since 4" of July so | speak on behalf of Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja who is working hard on this.
It is a week from Thursday, from 5:00 to 6:30. We are looking forward to having a bus there that is
going to talk about safety on school buses and you are going to be able to have your picture taken. We
are really excited about that.

The Telegraph is putting together several articles concerning Nashua Goes Back to School; one is to
celebrate all the sponsors over the past 13 years who have participated. They are also doing
something with all the schools, all the principals that have been part of that and also all the volunteers
who have helped out. If you want to see some exciting, hard-working people, come on Wednesday
when RSVP is there and they bagged almost 1,700 bags with supplies in less than three hours. We
have students from Pennichuck Junior High School who will be there.

We also have Pokémon group that is sending 3 or 4 people. We also have members of the Lion’s Club
who also will be helping out that day. We are looking forward to it being a nice day on Thursday so that
everyone can come down and have a good time. Thank you. And Happy Birthday Sue.

Alderman Wilshire
| just want to let the citizens know that the Nashua Police Department is starting their 30" Citizens

Academy. You can register by calling Ed Lecius at 594-3544. The deadline to register for that is
August 30".

Alderman Gidge

Yes my wife broke her hip and then she ended up in the hospital with nine stitches on her finger, but
she also did something else. The front page Union Leader and | mean really the top “Nashua Artist’s
Wife Foils International Scam”. So she is pretty protective of myself and the artists, but | thought that
was pretty neat.

Chairman McCarthy

| think Sue may have thought she was going to escape notice. | didn’t post anything on her Facebook
page but that was deliberate because of the element of surprise which Alderman Lopez with the jacket;
so Happy Birthday Sue.

Committee announcements:

Alderman Jette

Although | am very anxious to find out what an urban chicken is, | don’t know if it is a city slicker, a fast
talking chicken as opposed to the rural farm slow talking chicken.

I’m sure over at the Children’s Section of the Library they can help you out.
