Chairman Dowd
Good evening everyone. We have two Public Hearings this evening on two different subjects. We will not
be taking a break between them. We will take a 5-minute break between the Public Hearing and the actual
Budget Meeting. | will be calling for testimony in favor and testimony in opposition twice. If somebody would
like to speak, if you are on video, please raise your hand and | will see you and recognize you. If you are
on the phone, please just state your name and | will try and catch you — if many people are talking at the
same time we will get whoever will like to speak on either one of the items. Vhen we leave the Public
Hearing, we will be going into the Budget Meeting and then the only people that will be able to attend will
be from the Board of Aldermen.
When we include the Public Hearing, before we get into the Budget Meeting, if you have any lingering
questions for Attorney Clarke, Treasurer Fredette or Mr. Griffin, they may not be staying for the entire
regular Budget Meeting so if you have a question, please ask them so that they can sign off.
PUBLIC HEARINGS

HAMPSHIRE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES STATE REVOLVING LOAN

THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,500,000) FOR PUMP STATION UPGRADES

Is there anyone that is going to speak to that for us from the City? Someone going to present what we are
doing with this motion?
David Fredette, City Treasurer
That would be the Superintendent of Wastewater. This is David Fredette.
Chairman Dowd
Yes. Would the Superintendent please let us know the extent of what we are doing with this particular bond?
David Boucher, Superintendent of Wastewater
Yes this is David Boucher, | don’t know if you can see me, but | am the Superintendent. This bond, currently
we have a sewer pump station upgrade project. The project consists of upgrading 13 sewer pump stations
throughout the City of Nashua. Most of the pump stations were built in the 1960’s and have exceeded their
useful life. So we are doing complete rehabs on all of them; some are receiving new buildings. All are
receiving new pumps, some that didn’t have buildings are receiving buildings. Some only had one pump, now
they are receiving back up pumps. So this is taking place, currently we have six being upgraded currently as
part of Phase I.
