As part of the animal, they call it the ADPAC and now I’m blanking on the Committee’s name but as an
alternate to that committee and him going to the meetings, it is an issue between the Humane Society and
our ACO, Animal Control Officer. So we do need to look into it and we do need to — and that’s why |
brought it to the attention of Alderwoman Kelly and so on. We have to take care of that issue. So thank
you.
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you for making an exception for me too. So | have spoken to Director Marchant about this. They
don’t have a way of knowing exactly how many chicken coops are out there, because if it’s under 200
square feet you don’t have to get a permit. They’ve issued six permits for over 200 and they have had five
complaints and three have been taken care of. So | want to make sure, | think there are adjustments we
can make, | am totally open to new adjustments, but | want to make sure we are not over indexing on a
few complaints when ultimately it has been fairly successful from Director Marchant’s perspective.
Alderman Schmidt
Thank you, Madam President. | wanted to add my voice to welcome back Alderman Laws. He has been
so missed. Thank you for coming back to us. | too enjoyed the Saturday event, | was absolutely thrilled
because it was incredibly smoothly run, everything worked right from DPW moving the trucks in, to the
Police coming when they heard a noise, everything was perfect. And the one thing | learned, is that we
need to listen. We need to stop talking, we need to listen and | think that'll make the biggest difference in
everything we do. That’s all | needed to say, thank you very much.
President Wilshire
You’re welcome. Anyone else? | would just like to add my condolences to the family of Kevin Slattery.
Kevin was a very generous businessman here in Nashua. He did a lot of volunteering for the United Way.
He will be definitely missed. The vigil on Saturday was really terrific. I’d like to thank Alderman Gathright,
Alderman Kelly and everyone involved in that vigil. It was very moving and very well planned, went very
smoothly. So thank you all for that.
Committee announcements:
Alderman Tencza
Thank you, Madam President. PEDC will be meeting on June 16" at 7:00 p.m. to discuss various things
we have going on.
Alderman Dowd
Yes tomorrow evening we have a Public Hearing on two pieces of Legislation. One has to do with the
Fireman’s Contract and | believe the other one is having to do with authorizing the Mayor and City
Treasurer to borrow $2.5 million. So there are two Public Hearings and right after that we will be having
the Budget Meeting and voting on the two items that we had the Public Hearing on. We have 30 days
from today to take action on the Fireman’s Contract. So it will be coming up on the 23” along with the City
Budget. Thank you.
