Dear Alderman McCarthy

I regret to inform you that I must step down from my place on the Citizens Advisory Committee.
Unfortunately, | accepted the nomination, without enough consideration of the additional time
involved. I am already a member of the City Arts Commission, and am currently volunteering
for the Revive Program. Additionally, | am also in the middle of a job search.

Very truly yours,

Alderman-at-Large Brian S. McCarthy
President, Board of Aldermen

229 Main Street

Nashua, NH 03060

Dear Alderman McCarthy:

In accordance with NRO 5 — 6, Compensation, I am hereby notifying the Board of Aldermen that
Alderman Sean McGuinness missed three regular meetings of the Board of Aldermen for the last
quarter of 2017.

The dates of the absences are as follows:
November 14, 2017
November 28, 2017
December 26, 2017

The relevant section of NRO 5 — 6 is as follows:
B. If, in any quarter, any member of the Board of Aldermen is recorded absent at three or
more regular meetings of the Board, the City Clerk shall transmit a communication stating
that fact to the Board of Aldermen, and the stipend for that quarter shall be withheld. In
accepting the communication, the Board may also determine by vote that for good cause
shown that member shall receive a full or partial stipend for the quarter. Good cause shall
include but not be limited to attendance at committee and other meetings, or health or other
extenuating circumstances for the absence. Additionally, the Board may find that the
attendance of any member within a quarter has been unacceptable and by a majority vote
withhold any or all of the stipend for that quarter.

Patricia D. Piecuch
City Clerk

Siemens has the personnel

At Siemens we employ only the finest Project Managers, Roadway Lighting Engineers, Field Technicians
and Network Analysts. We pride ourselves on the high level on training, education and certification of
all our team members. Our customers expect their projects to be managed in an excellent, innovative
and responsible way, and this applies to all of our projects from large multi-million dollar projects all the
way to smaller turnkey projects. Our project management processes and certifications are models for
project management around the globe. Professional project management is a vital success factor for
Siemens. We have been a project company since inception and currently we have over 15,000 certified
project managers world-wide.

As a large, multi-billion dollar company, Siemens has a wealth of employees to draw from for our
projects including our New England-based team that focuses exclusively on streetlight retrofit projects.
We do not operate with a handful of employees, stretched thin to populate our projects, but rather we
pride ourselves on our strong team structure.

We also pride ourselves on standing behind what we do, and making projects of benefit to our
customers. In short, we make it right even at our cost. In previous engagements with Nashua, Siemens
did not do the job well; our performance was not to our standards. Drawing on our deep resources,
Siemens bore the financial cost of any project over-runs, as well as replacing the entire management
team and project management organization in New England. The result of this change is evidenced in
the success and satisfaction we’ve brought to the Cities of Manchester, Salem, and New Bedford
(referenced in the response); three examples of the performance and satisfaction we will bring to
Nashua.

Siemens has the relationships

Throughout our projects, our team has proven that we have the technical, financial, and contractual
ability to assemble the right people and companies to implement these initiatives quickly and efficiently.
For this project, we will team with local engineering firm, CDM Smith. All these factors combine to
provide your community with the full confidence that the Siemens team is uniquely qualified to
successfully perform this work.

Board of Aldermen
229 Main Street
Nashua, NH 03060

To Members of the Board of Alderman:

Robert Hallowell, had submitted his resignation to the Board of Education, effective December 31,
2017. A citywide election will need to be scheduled in order to fill the vacancy on the Board of
Education for that unfinished term.

Charter Sec. 75 provides the methods by which vacancies on the Board of Education shall be filled.
Since there are “at least six (6) months and one (1) day remaining in the unexpired term” the
following process applies:

= The vacancy shall be filled by an election held on a date determined by the Board of
Aldermen.

« The date of that election shall not be earlier than forty (40) days and not later than one
hundred eighty (180) days after the vacancy occurs. Thus, the election may be scheduled
anytime between February 9" and June 29".

» All nominations for the Board of Education shall be handled in the same manner as
nominations for the Board of Education at a regularly-scheduled election.

= Nominating Petitions and Acceptances of Nominations shall be accepted by the City Clerk
“not earlier than forty (40) days nor later than thirty (30) days before the election.”

As part of this process, a Resolution should be introduced in the coming weeks so that the Board of
Aldermen may consider and schedule a date for this election, establish polling hours (RSA 659:4),
schedule the period during which candidates interested in completing the unfinished term may file
for office, and issuing precepts to the Selectmen of the wards (NRO 23-8).

Sincerely,

Patricia D. Piecuch
City Clerk
