Given its second reading;

MOTION BY ALDERMAN HARRIOTT-GATHRIGHT FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF O-19-061
ON THE QUESTION

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

| would like to speak to it. For those that might not realize that Glen Drive is like a half mile of hill and
cars just come straight down, straight down. That intersection is a bus stop, a school bus stop.
Probably about a month and a half ago there was a terrible accident there about 10 minutes before the
kids got off the bus. But there was damaged property, tore up another car in the driveway, tore up the
mailbox, the whole 9 yards. So | got several calls from Glen Drive at that time asking to come look at
the damage that was done on the street and | think Mike did the same thing, we both got calls.

We agree that it wasn’t the first time and that there’s always been complaints right there at the school
bus stop, so it was really important that they have a four-way stop sign. Currently today it is a two-way
stop sign on Nottingham, but nothing to stop the cars that are coming zooming down Glen. | know that
Glen Road will be very happy as well as Nottingham with the four-way stop particularly since it is a
school bus stop.

PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT

Stacie Laughton 8 Elm Street, Unit 1, Nashua, New Hampshire. | come to you tonight with a different
issue then when | have spoken to you in the past. | as you know, as | just stated | live at 80 Elm Street.
I’d like to talk to you for a minute about my street and some traffic issues we have. Where | | live, right
at 80 Elm Street, is right across the street from us we have the street Oak Street. We have oftentimes,
we have a sign right next to my driveway that says, “one way” and that’s one way heading towards
Otterson Street and heading towards the Middle School. Vehicles aggressively ignore that one-way
sign. We see that all day long, all night long. We see, you know, the sign does appear to be a bit dull,
but nobody even listens to it. I've even seen people come in all the way down from the Otterson Street
side you know, and they will be driving you know the wrong way all the way down.

Board of Aldermen 11-26-2019 Page 17

| even had an UBER recently actually the day of the parade that we were all in. The UBER must've
come down Oak Street, parked in front of my house and proceeded to go towards Kinsley Street in the
wrong direction. | am concerned that maybe the sign isn’t bright enough. Maybe the other signage
isn’t working. | do believe as you get towards the end of our street because it is a school zone, it is
supposed to be reduced down to 20, nobody listens to that either. Oftentimes I'll hear or my wife will
hear people just zipping down the street, especially when recently the street was unpaved and it was
just the stone that was out there, you could hear them rumble right down in the middle of the night. Our
bedroom happens to be right in the front of the house and the vehicles would just fly right down. Itis an
unsafe situation and from personal experience, | know when | was living in Laconia the street, we lived
on prior to moving back to Nashua, just after my family and | moved back here, there was a terrible
accident on that street. That was Messer Street in Laconia that was right next to the Middle School in
that City as well. Two little girls were hit by a drunken driver and then the vehicle that hit them
proceeded to back up and re-back over them which is a very sad and traumatic situation to have
happened.

My concern is with there being, you know, my next-door neighbor has children that use these Special
Ed buses. We see a lot of school buses coming down there. We see a lot of students going to the
school. My concern is there is going to be a situation like that where we are going to see somebody get
hurt coming down Elm Street. Maybe there should be added patrols, better signage, | don’t know what
but | do know that even my neighbor to the other side of me was warning me that once the road gets
paved, it is going to be like a little mini-speedway coming down that section of Elm Street from Kinsley
to Otterson. | don’t know. There are a few issues there that | am a bit concerned about; definitely the
speeding and definitely maybe more signage needs to be put up promoting that it is a one-way.
Because nobody really pays attention to those one-way signs as it is and definitely, | am really
concerned about the speeding and the children in my neighborhood. Thank you.

And also, the Board here, Happy Thanksgiving this week. And | hope you have a lot to be thankful for
this year. | know | certainly have a lot to be thankful for. That’s all | have to say this evening, and you
have a great evening. Thank you.

REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Alderman Clemons

| just want to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving.

Alderman Schmiat

What he said.

Alderman Tencza

| just want to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving too. | think we have a lot to be thankful for here in
the City. We have a lot to be thankful for as a group on this Board so thank you to all my colleagues
that | have had the chance to serve with over the last 2 years; looking forward to serving at least a
couple more with you folks.

The other thing | just wanted to mention a lot of people, it is a great time of year for a lot of people.
What a lot of you don’t realize is that tomorrow night, Wednesday before Thanksgiving, is Known as
Black Wednesday for a lot of people because people go out, drunk driving incidents and arrests raised
from tomorrow night through New Year’s significantly. So you know let’s have a great Thanksgiving
and Thanksgiving Weekend here in Nashua but let’s all please remember to be responsible, be
respectful and stay safe. Thank you.

Board of Aldermen 11-26-2019 Page 18
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

Yes, I’d just like to each the Mayor's invitations to everyone for both Plaid Friday and the Stroll. | know
our downtown merchants and Great American Downtown have been working with the City Departments
to dress up the street and they are ready and wish you a Happy Holiday Season. And then Happy
Thanksgiving to all of you and to the members of our community. Thank you.

Alderman Jette

| hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. But next Monday we get back to work, we have a Public
Hearing on several bonds. One of them is the Middle School, the bond for the Middle School. We had
an informational meeting at Main Dunstable School that gave people a chance to ask questions about
it. Unfortunately one of the bonds that is on the schedule for this coming Monday is the bond to build a
new Public Works Building. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to have the Public Informational
Meeting prior to the Public Hearing. | noticed that today | think it was we were all invited to a Public
Informational Meeting on December 9", which is the week after. | don’t know, | confess ignorance on
whether or not the public hearing scheduled for December 2™, since we voted on that, whether we
have to do something here and whether it is necessary for me to make a motion to postpone that public
hearing until after the informational hearing is held on December 9". | am asking for your guidance
there whether that’s necessary or not?

President Wilshire

Well the public hearing does give the opportunity for the public to come in and express any concerns. |
thought about it because you did mention it to me before the meeting tonight. | don’t see a need to take
that bond off the table and hold it because the people that are concerned about it have a right to come
here, that’s what the public hearing is about. And if they get two opportunities all the better because
they will still have an opportunity the following week.

Alderman Jette

With all due respect, | don’t know if | am the only one that thinks that we ought to have an informational
meeting to explain to the people what it is that we are looking at so that they can hear what the
proposal is before we ask them to come to a public hearing and express opinions. We are asking them
to express opinions about something that they know little about. So | think that it is better to have the
informational meeting and then have the public hearing after they know what it is about and then they
can speak intelligently about whether they support it or oppose it.

President Wilshire

Didn’t you just say there was an informational meeting already at Main Dunstable School?

Alderman Jette

That was on the Middle School Project.

President Wilshire

Oh that wasn’t on the Public Works Facility.

Alderman Jette

That was not on the Public Works Building Project, no.

Board of Aldermen 11-26-2019 Page 19
Alderman Dowd

Just want to check with Attorney Clarke when a motion for a bond is made, | believe we have to have a
public hearing within a certain timeframe. That’s usually 15 days is the minimum, so we are under that
constraint as well as we are under the constraint of moving towards the end of the year. Anything that
is not acted on by the end of the year falls into a black hole and everything has to start over again. So
they have an opportunity at the public hearing to voice any concerns. They'll have a presentation at the
public hearing as to what the project is all about.

Then it will have a Budget Meeting after that which takes a vote on that particular, one all three bonds,
and then it goes to the Board of Aldermen on the 18" or whatever that next date is. They can also
come and hear a presentation and voice any concerns at that time. So | think they have plenty of
opportunities.

Alderman Jette

| think what Alderman Jette is alluding to is that he doesn’t think we should vote on it before the public
gets a chance to hear the presentation. Do you have someone lined for a presentation that night,
Alderman Dowd?

Alderman Dowd

Yes.

Alderman Clemons

If | might so just to get the calendar correct here; the Public Hearing would be on the 2™ and that would
include a presentation that evening. And there will be a separate public presentation on the 9"?

President Wilshire
Correct.
Alderman Clemons

And then we will take this up on the 10" to which the public can speak here at the Aldermanic
Chamber, correct?

President Wilshire
Yeah that would be 3 opportunities.
Alderman Clemons

Thank you.

Alderwoman Kelly

Yes if | could speak to that. | guess | have a question because | think what | heard when | went to Main
Dunstable School was this feeling of “the decision has already been made, like why am | being
consulted now, there’s not much that | can necessarily change” from the public. So if we have a public
hearing and we approve the bond, and then 10 people say that they don’t like that we are doing it at
perhaps the location. Can we change that once the bond has been approved, because otherwise why
are we collecting feedback?

Board of Aldermen 11-26-2019 Page 20
Alderman Dowd

The passing of the bond does not mean we are selling bonds or expending that money. It gives the
authority to move forward with that amount of funding for a project. And again several time constraints
relative to this project, the decision has been made by the people that are authorized to make the
decision the Board of Education and the Joint Special School Building Committee to build a new
school. Nobody has any concerns with Fairgrounds and Pennichuck evidently because we haven't
heard anything on those.

The way the steps are put in place is the motion came before this Board, got referred to a Public
Hearing. The Public Hearing is to take comments in favor and opposition, and we will hear that before
the Budget Committee meets. Whatever action the Budget Committee meets then goes to the full
Board of Aldermen on all 3 bonds, not just the school bond. The Full Board of Aldermen will make their
decision at that point in time. And all bonds require 10 votes so once the bond is passed, then that
doesn’t necessarily mean that everything is cast in concrete, we have a lot of work to do. It does allow
us to go into the detailed design phase and there are numerous opportunities for input before any
shovels hit the ground. So the process has to be completed because of the way it’s gone through this
past year. There have been 9 opportunities during the past year for people to give input. We need to
turn on the architects to do their work or because of the timeframe involved so | think there is plenty of
opportunity for people to have input. Remember, the City is comprised of 70,000 to 80,000 people. |
know that some people have concerns, but on anything we do as a City there are always people that
have concerns. We listen to them; we try to incorporate concerns and alleviate their concerns but that
doesn’t mean that we stop the train.

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you. Is this my response to or can | go into my other remarks as well when I’m done? Does it
matter?

President Wilshire

You can do both.

Alderwoman Kelly

So | appreciate your explanation and | think a lot of people around the horseshoe understands this but
a lot of times the public isn’t fully aware. We can be talking about something for months before they
even understand what is going on. | think that’s a continual thing that | hear at least from my
constituents, “So | didn’t know about it until it was in the Telegraph” you know we all have busy lives.
I’m just trying to figure out a way to make sure that people can get their comments out there and feel
like they are heard, especially on really big projects like the DPW or the School Building.

Can | go to my remarks? | actually just wanted to thank the children from the Boys & Girls Club |
thought that was a really great presentation and | would echo Alderman Lopez’s recommendation that
we hear from them and kind of walk through those potential action steps with them. | think they did a
really good job not only identifying things but weighing out how we might help them improve the city
that they live in. That was a nice bright spot for the — evening.

Happy Thanksgiving. One of the things | wanted to do was to shout out to the agencies in the City, we
have an incredible group of agencies that help everyone, especially as we go into the holidays. We
have the Soup Kitchen, we have the Children’s Home, Harbor Home, End 68 hours Hunger, our
community | see everyday examples of people who are coming together, and | appreciate seeing that
at the Holidays and even when it is not the Holidays. So thank you.

Board of Aldermen 11-26-2019 Page 21
Alderman Klee

| just wanted to comment on the Public Hearing for the DPW. So | want to make sure that I’m right in
kind of adding to what Alderman Clemons said. There will be technically 3 chances before the Board of
Aldermen does the final vote on that particular bond, is that correct? There will be the Public Hearing
with a preview, then there will be an informational meeting with DPW and then there the public will
have the right to speak prior to that. So there will be 3 chances before we do anything, so nothing is a
done deal, even if the Budget Committee does or doesn’t approve it, nothing is a done deal until the
Board of Aldermen hear it on the 10"? Is that correct?

President Wilshire
That’s correct.
Alderman Jette

| just wanted to clarify, Alderman Dowd, you were talking about or remarks seemed to be directed
mostly at the Middle School Project. What | am talking about is the Board of Public Works Building
Project. | am not aware of anything that is requiring us to move forward with that other than we’ve got
to use the money from the sale of the Burke Street property within 2 years. But delaying this by a few
weeks or even a month | don’t think is going to endanger that 2-year requirement that we spend the
money from the Burke Street property.

One of my original questions was is it appropriate, is it out of order for me to make a motion? | don’t
want to put Attorney Clarke on the spot but is it true that we have to act on this because we've already
made a motion on it? Do we have to do it within 15 days or whatever was mentioned?

Attorney Clarke

| guess | would say yes if you are looking to reschedule a Public Hearing on the Public Works Building
Bond or even, | mean | guess it wouldn’t be just postponing, it would be probably rescheduling to a date
certain. | think that would be a motion and action by the Full Board.

Alderman Jette

So that would be in order?

Attorney Clarke

| don’t see why not.
Alderman Dowd

However if this particular legislation is not passed by this Board before January 5" it dies. It would
have to start all over again which would have to through the entire process again. That takes time. |
personally don’t feel that there will be a presentation for every bond for every public hearing we have
regardless of what it is. There’s always a presentation and there will be a presentation on that building
as well as the other DPW Bond that is being presented that same evening and it is also televised so
people can get input that way and it is recorded so people can look at it at any time. So there are
plenty of opportunities and | don’t see that there is any great controversy other than that some people
might have some misconceptions that would be clarified at the Public Hearing. | have more
involvement in the Joint Special than the actual DPW Building.

Board of Aldermen 11-26-2019 Page 22
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

Thank you. | too was looking at this informational meeting and looking at the timelines but as Alderman
Dowd indicated there will be a presentation prior to the Public Hearing. As | am looking at the e-mail
about the informational meeting, | would hope that much of the information that is going to be presented
at the informational meeting will be presented the night of the Public Hearing because all of the
Aldermen need to have that information to vote or at least those who are members of the Budget
Committee. Supposedly this e-mail says that they are going to talk about the options that were
analyzed regarding the renovation of the current facility, potential of utilizing City land and the option of
building new. | would think all of that will be presented at the Public Hearing. So what | would
encourage people to do is watch the Public Hearing, even if you don’t want to come to City Hall
because | think for some people that will be the first time they hear the information. And then go to the
informational meeting the next night and then maybe have some questions crafted after listening to the
Public Hearing. Seek answers for your questions or additional information. And then again when that
piece of legislation comes back to the full Board there will be another opportunity to at least comment,
not ask questions, but comment. So a good presentation at the Public Hearing | think will lay a nice
base for people to have 24 hours to mull over what is going to be presented to go to the informational
meeting and not hear that information cold but then maybe dig a little deeper. I’ve been looking across
the horseshoe at Alderman Dowd and | am sure you will convey that message to DPW.

Alderman Dowd
Not only will | convey it, but | am sure the Mayor will as well.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

Thank you.

Alderman Lopez

| just want to say, well it is my understanding of roles that while the at-large Aldermen have to represent
the entire City and have obligations to engage and interact with the entire City, one of the reasons |
have never wanted that job, it is because at the local level we also have the same obligations to
represent our constituents in a vote, make decisive action and then also to engage them when issues
that we are not sure about personally, we want to make sure they are aware of, we have a
responsibility to actually reach out to them and act as ambassadors. The timeline laid out here seems
like there is plenty of opportunity for us to do that as local Aldermen as well. There will be plenty of
media. The City spends money on paying staff to put it on YouTube, to promote it on Public Access, to
record the minutes and all of that.

We have the media in this room, and | believe they will be at this meeting now, so there is going to be
plenty of content. So | think if there is concern that our constituents aren’t going to be aware of
something, then we need to work to make sure they are aware of it.

Alderman Jette

| realize that the Board of Public Works needs new facilities. | learned that after | was elected and
before | attended the first meeting of the Board. So | am not opposed to their building a new building. |
feel it is very important that my constituents in Ward 5 where this proposed, you know, the landifill
property where this is proposed to be. They deserve an opportunity to hear what the plans are. | am
looking and because | am down this path this far, even though there doesn’t appear to be a light at this
particular tunnel for me. | feel that | need to pursue this. So right now the informational meeting is
scheduled for December 9". The Budget Review Committee has a meeting presently scheduled for the
16" and the Board of Aldermen has a meeting scheduled for the 23. If | am not correct it seems to me
that we could postpone the Public Hearing on the BPW building only, not the Middle School, just the

Board of Aldermen 11-26-2019 Page 23

BPW meeting. We could postpone the Public Hearing to December 16" the night of the Budget Review
Committee Meeting and then the Board of Aldermen is meeting the following week, the 23% and you
know so we could | think there is time for the Board to act on this even if we postpone the public
hearing until the 16".

Since | have heard that it is in order, | would like to make a motion to postpone the public hearing on
the Board of Public Works Building to December 16h

MOTION BY ALDERMAN JETTE TO POSTPONE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE RESOLUTION
FOR THE BONDING OF THE NEW BPW BUILDING TO DECEMBER 16, 2019

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Dowd

When we were first talking about the Public Hearings and the dates and having them and everything,
Treasurer Fredette came to me and said that he would like to have all three of those Public Hearings
the same night. So this is all going in lockstep because it saves him a tremendous amount of work with
Bond Counsel. So the request to have these in a separate meeting and in this timeframe was a
request of the City Treasurer.

Alderman Clemons

| understand that the motion is in order, my question is are we meeting the legal obligations required by
the State of New Hampshire or our own Ordinances regarding Public Hearings if we were just to
reschedule this to the 16". | know that we have to do Public Notices and things like that and that is the
nature of my questions.

President Wilshire

| would have to defer to Attorney Clarke.

Attorney Clarke

| think from a legal standpoint the statute for bonding | think it might even actually be 7 days’ notice
although | don’t have the analysis. | am getting a nod from the City Clerk. Legally we meet the notice
requirement for scheduling that Public Hearing. | don’t know if there would also be any issues with
getting that notice published or anything.

Susan Lovering, City Clerk

Attorney Clarke is correct it is 7 days; it takes 3 days to get it into the paper, but | think more importantly
is after the Public Hearing you must wait, | believe, 15 days, before you take that second reading, that
vote. So there has to be a period of time according to the RSA’s, | believe, after the Public Hearing and
before the second reading. If my memory serves me correctly that is 15 days. The sheet is in the back
if you'd like me to get that, in reference to the RSA.

Alderman Clemons

Yes that would be helpful, | think. My only other comment was that if indeed we have to wait the 15
days after the Public Hearing, then the bond wouldn’t come up until the 23" anyway, because it couldn’t
come on our calendar for the 10". So therefore that would create a situation where we had the Public
Hearing on the 2™, we had the other informational meeting and then there would be a significant
number of days in-between that and the next Board of Aldermen where that would appear which would
