RESOLUTION

ESTABLISHING AN EXPENDABLE TRUST FUND FOR STATE EMPLOYER
PENSION COSTS AND APPROPRIATING $350,000 FROM FUND BALANCE
ASSIGNED FOR THIS PURPOSE INTO THE EXPENDABLE TRUST FUND

CITY OF NASHUA

In the Year Two Thousand and Sixteen

RESOLVED by the Board of Aldermen of the City of Nashua that pursuant to NH RSA
31:19-a, the City of Nashua hereby establishes an expendable trust fund for the purpose of
funding the city’s employer contributions to the New Hampshire Retirement System. This is
established to fund pension costs in excess of yearly budgeted pension costs appropriations.
Funds may be expended or transferred from this fund for this purpose by the Financial Services
Division. Any balance remaining in this expendable trust fund at each fiscal year end will not
lapse or be closed out to the General Fund, but will remain in this expendable trust fund. This
expendable trust fund will be discontinued on June 30, 2019. At the time the fund is
discontinued, any remaining balance shall be transferred into the General Fund.

FURTHERMORE, BE IT. RESOLVED by the Board of Aldermen of the City of Nashua
that $350,000 is appropriated from fund balance assigned for this purpose into this expendable
trust fund.

As this is a resolution which supplements the FY2016 Adopted Budget, the following
information is provided pursuant to NRO § 5-145, E:

Currently, the accumulated sum of all appropriations of the FY2016 combined annual municipal
budget is $260,536,617. The FY2016 dollar amount under the limit established by City Charter
Section 56-c is $40,276

If this resolution passes, the accumulated sum of all appropriations of the FY2016 combined
annual municipal budget will be $260,886,617. The FY2016 dollar amount over the limit
established by City Charter Section 56-c would be $309,724.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Aldermen of the City of Nashua that
under the authority of the City of Nashua Charter Section 56-d, the amount of $350,000
representing certain principal and interest on municipal bonds included in the FY2016 Adopted
Budget is exempt from the budget limitation imposed by City Charter Section 56-c, resulting in
the FY2016 dollar amount under the limit of $40,276.

REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN

Alderman Lopez

| just want to thank all the people who came out to do the service projects on Saturday. There are still
some garbage bags there along the rail trail and by City Hall which | am sure are going to be picked up.
A lot of volunteers came out, it looked like a couple hundred actually, working through Mine Falls,
working in the Heritage Trail, and Court Street Theatre particularly sounded like it was a lot of work. A
lot of people just gave their Saturday morning to make Nashua look a little better so | am just very
appreciative of that since | am an Alderman for where all of that took place. And | also wanted to
second what the Mayor was saying earlier about what Nu Muse is looking like it is going to be a great
event. | encourage everybody to turn out. It is going to be a great opportunity just to see downtown
light up and have a lot of activity right on Main Street, so | am looking forward to it.

Vice President Wilshire
| just had one remark. | attended the Nashua Housing Authority Board of Commissioners Meeting last

week and just wanted to announce that they have changed their name. They are now going to be
known as the Nashua Housing and Redevelopment Authority which | think is timely. | think they are

Board of Aldermen 04-24-2018 Page 9
going to start to look at doing some redevelopment and started a 501c3 to do more affordable housing
in the City. So | think we are going to see some pretty exciting things coming from the Nashua Housing
and Redevelopment Authority.

Committee announcements:

Alderman Dowd

Yes Budget tomorrow evening in the Chamber at 7:00. | will be at the Ward 2 meeting and it will be
admirably chaired by Alderman Wilshire.

Vice President Wilshire
Thank you so much.

Alderman Lopez

| was just going to make an observation. Instead of Nashua Housing and Redevelopment Authority we
could just call them NHRA.

Vice President Wilshire

I’ll pass that along.

Alderman Caron

Yes thank you. Personnel will be meeting on Monday, May 7" at 7:00.
