Approving the cost items of sidebar agreements between the
Nashua Police Commission and the Nashua Police Patrolman’s
Association and the Nashua Police Commission and the Nashua
Police Supervisor’s Association regarding military leaves of
absence

Alderman-at-Large Lori Wilshire
Alderman Richard A. Dowd

Budget Review Committee

The cost analysis is as follows: if the employee makes less than
their Police Department pay through the military, these sidebars
authorize the Police Department to make up the difference. For an
example using a Senior Patrolman, the Police Department would
pay 44% and the savings in the budget would be 56%. If there
were to be any backfill, the City wouldn’t have much cost because
of the 56% payroll savings. Additionally, being at full
complement for the coming year will enable the Police Department
to better operate without having to backfill every shift for this
military individual.

ANALYSIS

This resolution approves the cost items of sidebar agreements between the Nashua Police
Comrnission and the Nashua Police Patrolman’s Association and the Nashua Police Commission
and the Nashua Police Supervisor’s Association concerning military leaves of absence, effective
February 1, 2021. The board of aldermen must vote whether or not to approve the cost items of
these sidebars within thirty days of receipt. RSA 273-A:3 II (c).

Project “New Middle School”, Account #81600 “Land”.

The Planning Board recommended passage of R-20-083 and as this amendment does not change
the parcel to be acquired by the City, further Planning Board recommendation pursuant to
