UPDATING THE FINANCIAL STANDARDS FOR THE CITY’S WELFARE GUIDELINES

President Wilshire

PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT

Paula Johnson Just hold on to this, it kind of fell off, I'm kind of short. Paula Johnson, | still live in
Nashua, exhausted from this whole thing. | don’t know how | ever sat on this, maybe ‘cause | was
younger. | would like to thank the Aldermen for that bill, the smoking, | want to say it takes courage to
vote what you feel is right, you beat a dead horse to death, you know, it went round and round. And
some of the Aldermen that | don’t agree with many times, | want to say thank you, because yeah does
it have to be at the State Level?

Yeah | think it’s better at the State Level that they address it so then it’s at throughout the State, not
just one community, another community, State Law supersedes City anyway.

I’m here to talk about and | know it’s going for its first reading, O-19-044. Let’s talk about that
legislation and what has happened. | was the original sponsor of that legislation, remember Alderman
Wilshire, remember Attorney Bolton. No? Well let me refresh your memory. The reason | did the
compensation and what was the intent of this? The intent didn’t have anything to do with pregnancy or
adoption, it wasn’t the reason why. And it had nothing to do with any of this. It had to do, we had an
Alderman, if you remember correctly that never came to Committee meetings. He would show up
more times at the full Board meeting and yet he was being paid to sit around the horseshoe for
meetings and the full Board meeting. That was the intent of this. Not the intent of somebody being
pregnant or adoption. And I’m a woman and | have the right to say that.

And | have the right to say what the intention was; because | was the original maker of it and there was
no action. But over the years, it got watered down a little bit. And the reason | made so clear and | sat
down with Dori Clarke and we really worked on this. So nobody would be left out but the question
was, why should you be paid for meetings that you did not attend? Simple as all that. You go to work,
you get paid; you don’t go to work, you don’t get paid. There is no sick time really here because it’s
not a job. That’s why we never put in certain things because this is not a job this is an elected position.
You go to the polls, you have the voters vote for you; you get a stipend, it’s not a paycheck it is a
stipend. By rights it is not even supposed to have taxes taken out if you look at the US Code. This
was added in after. So this is why | wrote this piece of legislation. No action was taken because that
person, after it got written, decided to show up to the meetings again. So this isn’t a job and if you
can’t fulfill your duties because of maternity or adoption, there are other ways to be in touch with the
Board. You can Skype, you can FaceTime.

There is a member of the Board of Education that doesn’t come to any meetings anymore because
he’s ill and he’s telephonically. So you don’t have to have this in legislation that says because you are
pregnant or you have an adoption that you can’t come to meetings. You can call in at every meeting
and you can still be part of the meeting and be paid for your presence. So when we did this, it was
based on the attendance at meetings of the Full Board of Aldermen and the meetings of the standing
committees; that’s what you are paid for. All the work is really done in the Committee. Am | correct?
Of course | am correct. And then you bring it to the Board to vote on it, which is assigned. And
absence will be excused only if due to illness, which illness could cover pregnancy because you don’t

have to put down health, illness, and or death in the Alderman’s family. Simple, it’s simple. Let’s not
water it down and make it more complicated than itis. You are being paid to be here.

When | was on this Board | was raising 3 children; worked part-time, ran a business with my husband
because he worked all the time so | was basically raising them by myself and | managed to be at every
meeting here. Very rarely did | take any time off unless | was sick. So if you want to be an elected
official, you can still have children, you can still have a pregnancy, you can still adopt, you can still
have a baby and attend every meeting. You can Skype, you can FaceTime or you can be on the
phone. This piece of legislation was written probably for somebody, you know, and if I’m correct | think
she’s pregnant she just put her name on the legislation which | think is a conflict now. Self-serving and
the mere fact that it should not be like this. These words on the original and the ones that were
changed covers everything, maybe you should just add in there ‘can be at the meeting by FaceTime,
Skype and / or telephonically’ like on does at the Board of Education. So there’s no reason why you
can’t attend a meeting unless of illness and/or death in the family. Thank you very much.

Michael O’Connor_ Hi Michael O’Connor, 42 Berkeley Street in Nashua. This is a long evening of
course as you know, but | was glad | stuck around. There were two positive things that | saw; | like
that decency act you have and the civil discourse. I’m just hoping that we will see some of that
directed towards Ms. Ortolano who | think has done yeoman service and | think it’s fair to say without
her hard work you wouldn’t even be aware of the mess that’s is down in the Assessing Office.

The second positive thing tonight is you have this recognition method. And you know, a little biased
obviously but | think Mrs. Ortolano deserves some recognition and | think if there is an official way for
you to do it, the Board should really consider that.

Lastly and you know | am going to try to do this very decently, | am going to try and be kind and civil.
This is a you know, | could claim some sort of maybe Irish disability or something. Alderman Jette, |
normally agree with you, | respect you and you seem a very reasonable man and | look around and
there are probably other ex-service people here. As a Vietnam Service Veteran | found extremely
patronizing your reference to people outside the Dalianis Building as smoking and the service had
somehow, you know, caused them to smoke, nonsense. Ok, ask any one of them, I’m sure, maybe
you are unaware but it would be as if you were saying “Oh these people over here, have this problem
because they are those poor people over there” pick your favorite group to stigmatize. Yeah you sit
next to them or you see them on the sidewalk, go over and talk to them but | am guessing and | don't
know, | can’t speak for them, but | am guessing that they don’t feel victims that you portray them to be.
And having been forced by the military to take up smoking, thank you.

Laurie Ortolano 41 Berkeley Street | followed all of this discussion on smoking and | think I’ve watched
all of you debate it for probably 7, 8 hours. | wish you would spend a little more time all of you in
debate on assessing. | think I’ve watched you really have discussions on it for just over an hour and
15 minutes. The presentation on the 30" generated about 25 minutes of comments but it was alll
compliments with the exception of Mr. Jette and | think Alderwoman Kelly asking some good questions
and hard questions which were very appreciated. Everyone was just lock step in agreement and
thought it was all wonderful.

It was an extraordinarily difficult meeting for me to sit and watch and listen to an individual up here
presenting about all the hard work when | knew what that individual was doing. And it was anything but
hard work. So I’d love to see you spend more time as a group, all of you, engaged in the topic of
assessing and give it a good 90 minutes in a Board Meeting for me. I’d love to hear that.

Secondly when it comes to Mr. Lopez’s comments about attaching e-mails to the minutes; every e-mail
that | have sent to this Board is not attached. And | don’t know that you have to request it but for me,
e-mails that came to this Board were not acknowledged either, largely, fully. So you know | feel like
anything | send to you just goes in the can. So I'd love to see these e-mails put with the record. And
last week when | wrote an e-mail to the whole Board and | requested through Trish who was on the
hiring committee, she said “Well it’s not separate it’s all the Board Members that you sent your letter to

regarding your concerns about the Administrative Services Director’. | went to that meeting and |
watched whoever was chairing it acknowledge that several letters had been received and put them on
the record, but mine was never acknowledge, because | probably didn’t, | guess | had to ask for it. But
it seems to me there are e-mails you are given and you should acknowledge them or they should go
on the record somewhere. It wasn’t as if | didn’t give thoughtful attention to that.

Thirdly Right to Know Law. | think we’ve done a really poor job in this City of addressing Right To
Know. You know when | look back October/November and | wrote a request to John Griffin trying to
access information, one of the things | asked for were the expense logs, the travel logs. | knew that
there was a log system down there that was supposed to tie to the expense report. | didn’t Know the
specific name but | asked for the log. What | received back is no such information existed; but in fact
that wasn’t true. Logs do exist and they tie. And Kim had pointed it out when at the last month she
asked all of the assessors to start stapling the log to the expense report. Cool, good idea. And then |
had the name of it, the full name, you know, expense mileage reimbursement log. But just because as
a resident or a citizen on the outside you don’t know the formal name and you are asking without
saying RTK but asking. It should have been given to me and what came back was a letter that went to
all of you at an Aldermen Meeting with the answer that “no such logs exist”. They existed and | could
have had that information a lot sooner and | could’ve been looking at this travel information because |
went to Mr. Griffin and | said to him after collecting 3 years of data, “your travel logs look fraudulent,
you’ve got a fraud issue in here”.

There’s a problem especially with one that is grossly out of line. | was told they would get back to me,
he would get back to me in a week and he did not. And then | asked for those logs and was told none
exist.

| am going to be RTK’ing for them again. Let’s see what we come up with. But | feel like you are not
fully honest about that type of information. And | am now going to also try and find out what is the
name of every report you print in assessing. There are a lot of reports you can print. Just because |
don’t know the names shouldn’t mean that | can’t get them. | don’t know how to request them because
| don’t know their titles. | sat in a meeting with Ms. Kleiner on Friday, she had a whole sales sheet
done up of a bunch of data. | am going to RTK that but | don’t know what it’s called. What is that
sales data? | know I’ve generated my own, but | have no idea what that report is. So somehow we’ve
got to get a list of all the reports that are being generated so that the public can see all these reports as
well. So somebody help me figure that out. Thanks.

REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Alderman Klee

I’d like to address a couple of things. First I'd like to address Mr. O’Connor’s comments about filling
the Chief Assessor position. | have full confidence in whether people think I’m over-complimenting or
not, | have full confidence that Mrs. Kleiner will in fact eventually fill the Chief Assessors. | don’t know,
| have not spoken to her about it, | do think it would be a good position to do. Right at the moment |
think we’ve had enough change, I'd like to get things moving. A lot of information has come but that’s
one of the feelings that | have on it but yes | do believe that eventually we do need a Chief Assessor. |
think each of the departments should have a Director or at least a lead assessor, whether it’s above
and beyond the four or one of the four. | think we do need something like that, | think that would be
putting too much pressure on Mrs. Kleiner to hold that position as well. Thank you.

Alderman Lopez

| just wanted to thank Paul Shea and Great American Downtown for the work they did with the Nu
Muse Festival. It was a great event and | think it was enjoyed by many. And | also just wanted to
remind the public that the Gate City Marathon is coming up on Sunday so there will be some traffic
delays and a lot of tired people running around.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT onal Offices
Nashua, NH

Andover, MA
Greenfield, MA

Board of Directors and Stockholder Ellsworth, ME

Pennichuck Corporation and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pennichuck Corporation
and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and
2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in
stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the
consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of
internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements
are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the
auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Board of Aldermen 05-14-2019 Page 43
Alderman Caron

Yes thank. First I’d like to address Alderman Lopez’s concern about the letters that came through. |
did speak to our legislator manager and what we had were letters, not e-mails and she did say she
would put them in as part of the record and the minutes. As far as e-mails that go out to the Full
Board, | don’t have control over that; but there some letters that came in at that last minute that were
left on the desk. So she is doing that for you.

The other thing is | want to thank everyone who was able to attend Fire & Fusion a couple weeks ago
to benefit the Nashua Senior Center. It was very successful: they made a little bit more money than
last year. We are already getting requests to hold tables for next year’s Viva Las Vegas. So plan
ahead. Thank you.

Alderwoman Kelly

| want to address a few comments and things that have come up over the course of our very long
meeting and I’ll try to keep it brief. When we were talking about Kim my comment, | definitely want to
talk about her being very competent and collaborative; | think that was covered by a lot of people. But
| feel like reducing her role to a note-taker is pretty demeaning and downright incorrect. And perhaps
Mr. Teeboom would feel different if she was aman. | want to address Mr. O’Connor’s comments; I’ve
raised my own concern about eliminating the Chief Assessor both publicly and to the Mayor and Kim
directly. | feel confidently that they will look at that and | plan to advocate for keeping the position open,
that time would be at the Budget Meeting and making sure that we have that space for that. So |
definitely see that is something we need to continue to look at in terms of technical experience. | want
to address the tirade that happened with Ms. Johnson but I’m not really sure where to start so | am just
going to leave that alone for now.

Alderman Jette

| too join in Alderman Lopez’s request that all communications sent to the Board, whether it is in writing
or a physical document or an e-mail | think should be part of the record. Today, people send e-mails
instead of letters so | don’t know how ...

President Wilshire
We are working on it Alderman Jette.
Alderman Jette

That’s good to know. As far as the comments made by Mr. O’Connor directed to me, you know if |
said anything to offend, if he felt that | offended anybody that certainly wasn’t my intention. | ama
Veteran. And when you say | should say | should speak to those people? | have spoken to those
people. | know a lot of Veterans who are suffering from the effects of smoking who contracted that
addiction in the service; I’m one of them. | was introduced to tobacco by free cigarettes put in my meal
kits and that’s how | got introduced to smoking and that’s how | picked up what | thought was a bad
habit at the time. But it turns out it was an addiction and | smoked for a long time. And as a result of
that smoking for a long time, | contracted cancer and | am survivor of cancer. And you know my efforts
in trying to eliminate or prevent people from becoming addicted to tobacco here were with the best of
motives.

| was just trying to help people avoid that addiction and | certainly, you know, I’ve had conversations
with the Veterans that | identified and that you spoke about. So | wasn’t, it was not my intention to be
callous towards them or to be demeaning of them. | do think that if you think saying that they are
victims, if my calling them victims or describing them in a manner that made you think | was calling
them victims, if you think that’s wrong, | respectfully disagree. | think people who have become

addicted to tobacco are victims, | was one of them. | know people who not only suffered the
consequences of tobacco addiction with disease, but death. And my motives were, you know | had the
best of intention and if trying to save lives, if some people think that’s a waste of time, I’m sorry, | don’t
agree with that. | think it was an effort worth making, I’m sorry it didn’t work, and hopefully our State
Legislators will pass a Law that makes it, that prohibits purchase of tobacco State-Wide. Thank you.

Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

| just wanted to comment on the appointment of the Administrative Services Director and | too have
had the opportunity to work with Ms. Kleiner and as I’ve come to know her, | believe that if she sees
things that she thinks aren’t right, she will bring them to our attention. | also believe that she will give
us a fair assessment of needing a Chief Assessor there or whether or not we at least start with outside
consultation. And my reason for supporting her appointment was that | believe she will let us know
when we need someone there or she needs additional support.

Also a reminder to everyone, you may want to, if it stops raining or snowing or whatever else it is
doing, stop by the Picker Building, the Picker Artist's Building, because the Sculpture Symposium has
started and our sculptors are there working, unfortunately in some cold, damp weather. But they will
be there through to the beginning of June so | invite you to stop by and support them. Thank you.

Alderman Tencza

Thank you. Just very quickly | too wanted to just congratulate Kim Kleiner, | think one of the nice
things for here, for people in City Hall, is that there is a comfort level with Kim. There will be good
communication both ways, for employees and for the Board of Aldermen. And | also wanted to
congratulate Paul Shea, the Great American Downtown; | had a chance to go down to the Nu Muse
Festival for a couple hours. | am always impressed with the level of the musicians that they are able to
bring in to Nashua, the number of people that they get downtown to enjoy. It was the one couple of
hours when it wasn’t raining this whole month, so it was a great time and | can only imagine the effort
that he puts into pulling it all together. He makes it look easy; so congratulations to Great American
Downtown.

Alderman Schmidt

Thank you, | too would like to congratulate Ms. Kleiner and | would like to make it clear to people in the
City that everyone here has had dealings with Ms. Kleiner. | first did with the School Board and was
totally impressed with how she maintained relationships with people that perhaps did not always
agree. And she looked at every issue as very important and treated people who cared about things as
very important as well. Nobody here just heard what the Mayor said and agreed along with it. We all
have our experience with her and we are so grateful that she is doing this for us because | think she is
the best person. Thank you.

Alderman Clemons

Just to follow up what Alderman Schmidt had just said and everybody really. | was on the Board of
Alderman before and Mayor Lozeau was Mayor and | was called a rubber stamp and now we have a
Democrat as a Mayor and I’m a rubber stamp so | guess I’m just a rubber stamp. But no, Ms. Kleiner
is the one for this job absolutely in the City. And you know it’s funny because one of the speakers
tonight Mr. Teeboom went on and on and on about the amount of money that is being handled and he
then went on to say that how Ms. Kleiner has over 20 years of accounting experience. Well who would
you want better than an accountant to handle all that money?

So you know | think we are making the right decision there; we made the right decision. | have all the
respect in the world for her. | think she is doing to do an amazing job and if she feels that Assessing
Department needs a manager, I’m confident that she — number one, has the independence regardless

of what the Mayor thinks to come forward to the Board of Aldermen and tell us that we need an
Assessor, but two — | have all the confidence in the Mayor that he will listen as she is the manager
there overseeing that and will bring forward a proposal to do so. | think that dynamic is there and it’s
good and | think we are in good hands.

President Wilshire

| just want to weigh in on that as well. I’ve Known Kim for several years; she’s awesome, she’s
professional, she is well liked by everyone because she puts herself out there. | can’t think of anyone
better to serve in that capacity than Kim Kleiner, she’s wonderful. You know the Mayor gets elected
and he serves for 4 years and he doesn’t know everything about Assessing and IT and all that but he
knows how to manage a City; he knows how to do that. That’s what Kim brings. | was very insulted
about the speaker who thought maybe you were just a good secretary because that was not OK and
should not have been said, because | think a lot of you Ms. Kleiner and | think you know. Mayor, you
made a good decision.

Committee announcements:
Alderman Dowd

Thursday is the public hearing on the Budget at 7:00 p.m. Nashua High North Auditorium. The Full
Board is expected to be there. | believe we will have reserved seats in the front row so we conduct a
regular meeting going into the Public Hearing and Tricia and | will be up on the stage as targets along
with the Mayor and Chief Financial Officers. And all the Department heads will be there. So it’s an
opportunity to listen to the public and then we will be getting in touch with the budget wrap up and
anyone that has proposed actions on the budget should be formulating them before the wrap up
session. Thank you.

Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

Yes PEDC next Tuesday and as long as we are here, | may or may not be at the Public Hearing
depending upon whether or not they need me for quorum at the Planning Board since | am Alderman
Tencza’s alternate, it seems like he should be there since he’s on the Budget Committee. So if I’m not
there, | will be at Planning Board.
