LEGISLATIVE YEAR 2018

RESOLUTION: R-18-073

PURPOSE: Proposing an amendment to the City Charter relative to filling
vacancies in elected boards by majority vote of the remaining
members of that board

SPONSOR(S): Alderman-at-Large Brian S. McCarthy
Alderwoman-at-Large Shoshanna Kelly
Alderman-at-Large Michael B. O’Brien, Sr.
Alderman Jan Schmidt

COMMITTEE

ASSIGNMENT:

FISCAL NOTE: The City Clerk estimates the cost associated with a charter
amendment as approximately $200 during a regular municipal
election.

ANALYSIS

This amendment would provide that vacancies in the Board of Aldermen, Board of Education,
Board of Public Works, and Board of Fire Commissioners are to be filled by a majority vote of
the remaining members of that board. Much of the proposed language is the former charter
language relative to filling vacancies on the Board of Aldermen, before the charter was amended
in 2006. In 2006, the language regarding filling vacancies on these four elected boards was put in
place, which provides for special elections if more than six months remain in the unexpired term
that has been vacated. This amendment further clarifies when individuals elected to fill vacancies
take office and provides that vacancies caused by death or declination prior to inauguration are
filled in a like manner.

The procedure for charter amendments is set forth in RSA 49-B:5. The Board of Aldermen must
hold an initial vote to determine if the amendment is “necessary”. Ifthe amendment is
determined to be necessary, the Board of Aldermen must order that notice be given for a public
hearing on the amendment. Notice of the public hearing must be published in a newspaper of
general circulation at least seven (7) days prior to the scheduled hearing. The notice must
contain the text of the proposed amendment and a brief explanation.

Within seven (7) days after the public hearing, the Board of Aldermen shall file with the City
Clerk a report containing the proposed amendment. Within ten (10) days of filing, the City Clerk
files a certified copy of the report to the secretary of state, the attorney general, and the
commissioner of the department of revenue administration pursuant to RSA 49-B:4-a. Within
seven (7) days after receiving approval from the secretary of state, the attorney general, and the
commissioner of the department of revenue administration, the Board of Aldermen may vote to
order the proposed amendment to be placed on a ballot at the next regular municipal election.

Enriching the lives of children
and families since 1903...

Alderman June M. Caron
24 Montgomery Avenue
Nashua, NH 03060

Dear Alderman Caron:

A former President of the Nashua Children’s Home Board of Directors, now a New Hampshire Supreme
Court justice advised me long ago that false or erroneous testimony left standing absent a response,
becomes the recard. It is in this spirit that | write to you. | have been able to review the transcript of
the 4.8.19 Public Hearing held by the Aldermanic Human Affairs Committee, and am offering
clarification relative to the commentary on Nashua Children’s Home by Fred Teeboom of 24 Cheyenne

Drive.

*Mr. Teeboom stated, rather incessantly, his belief that Nashua Children’s Home provides services for
“12 kids.” You correctly pointed out the application in question was for a project at our Concord Street
Girls’ Home which does house 12 girls, but that we have other facilities as well. In fact, Nashua
Children’s Home, between our Concord Street site and our Amherst Street campus provides residential
programming for up to 46 New Hampshire boys and girls, provides special education services for 30 area
students, and transitional living housing and associated support for up to nine young people who have
“aged out” of our state’s child-protective of juvenile justice system and must confront the challenges of
adult living, as 18-year-olds, absent any financial support from their families of origin.

*Mr. Teeboom made several references to “S4 million dollars’ worth of salaries.” The application that
we submitted, contains a salary line for this year, and a projected salary line for next year. Neither
figure reaches $3 million dollars, much less $4 million dollars. To offer further context, both the current
and projected salary expenses are based on an anticipated full-time staffing of over 70 employees.

Lastly, I’ll repeat the testimony that | have consistently offered Aldermanic committees over the years.
Typically, half of the boys and girls within our Residential Program are City of Nashua residents.
Typically, 830% of those youngsters are identified with special education needs. Most often, those young
people maintain their enrollment in the City’s public schools. If Nashua Children’s Home did not exist,
and those boys and girls were placed in other residential/educational facilities, via court order, that
decision being beyond the purview of the Nashua School District, the taxpayers of this City are on the
hook for $47,411.64...per student!! (Re: Court Ordered Payment Chapter 402).

Nashua Children’s Home remains appreciative of the support and advocacy provided over the years by
City government. Hopefully, the paragraphs above serve to set the record straight.

Sincerely,

Executive Director

RE: Administrative Services Director and Division

Dear members of the Board of Aldermen,

I ask that you approve my appointment of Kim Kleiner as Administrative Services Director for the City of
Nashua.

The Administrative Services Director plans and directs the operation of the Administrative Services
Division, which includes Human Resources, Information Technology, GIS, Purchasing, Assessing and
Risk Management.

Ms. Kleiner’s experience and expertise make her the best person to be Administrative Services Director
for the City of Nashua. As the Mayor’s Office Chief of Staff, Ms. Kleiner has a deep understanding of all
City Hall departments. For the past several years, she has been successfully working regularly with
Division Directors and acting as a liaison to the Nashua School District, Police Department and Fire
Rescue. Ms. Kleiner also performed the recent management audit of the Assessing Department and has
been working with Assessing staff and other departments to improve the city’s assessing function as
identified in the audit.

The Administrative Services Director also performs an integral role in budget planning and the city’s
fiscal policy. Ms. Kleiner has played a vital role in preparing the last four city budgets. Ms. Kleiner also
has a strong background in finance and senior management in the private sector. She is a proven leader
with excellent analytical, problem-solving and communication skills. In addition to her experience in city
government, Ms. Kleiner served four years on the Nashua School Board:

Ms. Kleiner will effectively lead the Administrative Services Division. Appointing Ms. Kleiner to this
position will mean a more efficient and effective city government. Thank you.

Sincerely,

vale
