between the 1.7% cost of living increase I proposed for each department and the increase passed

by the Board of Aldermen on July 1, 2021.

Because the State of New Hampshire is hitting Nashua with a big property tax increase of
$11.8 million in increased pension costs and reduced school aid, I asked departments to do their
best for the hard-working taxpayers of Nashua. As a result, the City Hall budget for FY 2022 is
down 2.9% from FY 2021, the Library Budget is down 1.9% from FY 2021, and the Public

Works budget for FY 2022 is down 1.35% from FY 2021.

Adding personnel to the Fire Department — even at mid-year — does not make sense in
the context of the tax increase being imposed by the State of New Hampshire. Adding personnel
at mid-year builds in future costs and higher future budgets — an approach to budgeting that I

have been cautioning against for years.

The City has done well by the Fire and Police Departments. If my proposed compromise
is accepted by the Board of Aldermen, the Fire Department’s budget will be up by 26.3%, and

the Police Department will be up by 20.5%, over the last 6 years, excluding pensions.

In total, these line item vetoes reduce the bottom line of the complete FY 2022 budget by

$329,000, reducing the total FY 2022 bottom line from $425,353 ,036 to $425,024,036
