Given its second reading;

MOTION BY ALDERMAN KLEE FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF O-20-026, BY ROLL CALL
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Klee

And if appropriate I’d like to make a comment. Thank you very much Madam President. | brought this
forward because of hearing from constituents that there were handicapped spots in front of these properties
at 3 Beacon Street, 9 and 11 Mount Pleasant Street that were no longer being used. And where parking is
always such a premium everywhere within this City, we brought this forward and so on. And the fact that
this existed is a good thing because they were very well needed at the time that they were requested and
so on but | think we need to review our process as to when we do approve special spaces for whatever the
reasons are as to a sunset or a revisit of them. Because many of these, from what I’ve heard from the
residents in the area is there were years that they weren’t being used .So I'd like to just kind of put that out
there as food for thought that we should probably review the current ones. If they are still needed and
perhaps there are others that are needed but that’s why | brought this forward. So thank you very much.

President Wilshire

You’re welcome. The Motion is for Final Passage; further discussion on that motion? Seeing none would
the Clerk please call the roll?

PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT

Laurie Ortolano — 41 Berkeley Street

I'd like to address some of the comments made at the July 15" Finance Committee meeting. | was really
disappointed in the conversation with the Mayor — the talk that the Mayor gave to the Committee and Ms.
Kleiner regarding the cost of the assessing issues. | saw it as very heavy blame laid on me for costing the
city so much. The Mayor made a comment that we couldn't find a Chief because of all the allegations — |
believe he felt many unfounded — that were pointed at assessors in Nashua for failure to do their job. He
said the assessment community consists of a very small group of people that all Know each other and talk
and they all believe that these actions by this individual are unfounded and they don’t want to come here to
work because they’re going to be accused of the same thing Nashua assessors have been accused of.

| want to share a little bit more truth on that issue and a story that | want you to understand. We had a
Deputy Assessor named Andrew Lemay who worked in Nashua for a number of years. He left around
2012 and he has since retired and he’s retired into a community up in Concord. He was talking to an
individual that | happen to have an acquaintance with and they met up there because they had moved into
the retirement community. Andrew had explained that he had been an assessor down in Nashua. The
individual knew the issues going on in Nashua and they struck up a conversation. Andrew Lemay’s
statement to this man, which can be verified, was that you know the Mayor appointed a woman who is
completely unqualified for the job and now it’s all political and that there was a Coordinator in there, a
woman, who had the best interest of the taxpayers at heart. She really watched out for the people and she
was removed. He was referring to Cheryl Walley. That’s a story with somebody who worked down here
and he still has close relationships with Greg Turgiss, Louise Brown.
