OFFENSE RESULTING IN A WARNING; SECOND OFFENCE RESULTS IN A $25.00 FINE
President Wilshire
I'm sorry did you say $25.00 fine Alderman Clemons?
Alderman Clemons
Yes.
President Wilshire
The motion is to amend by adding — the first offense would be a warning; second offense would be a
$25.00 fine. Discussion on the amendment? Anyone? Ok, would the Clerk call the roll?
A viva voce roll call was taken which resulted as follows:
Yea: Alderman O’Brien, Alderman Klee, Alderman Clemons, Alderman Tencza,
Alderwoman Lu, Alderman Jette, Alderman Harriott-Gathright, 7
Nay: Alderwoman Kelly, Alderman Caron, Alderman Lopez,
Alderman Schmidt, Alderman Wilshire 5
AMENDMENT MOTION CARRIED
President Wilshire
So the motion before us now is for final passage of Ordinance O-20-018 as amended. Further discussion
on that motion?
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Tencza
Madam Chairman if | may?
President Wilshire
Alderman Tencza?
Alderman Tencza
Thank you. If | could make a subsequent follow up Motion. There was something that was sent around to
all of us to look at what the Ordinance is or what the Executive Order down in Massachusetts. One of the
things that stuck out at me is that as this Ordinance is written in Nashua, if you had some kind of medical
issue where you couldn’t wear a mask, you would have to provide proof of that medical issue, presumably
now after the first or second time that you are stopped and questioned about why you didn’t have a mask
