that can be done too because the lease is still being written and will have to come back to us for approval. | am
not sure that sending it back to the Budget Committee, that’s just a delay in my book. So those are two things
that can be done. You can make a motion to add the plan that Attorney Melville just showed to the current
agreement or you could say that in the lease agreement you'd like to see the statement that approximately 50
parking spaces will be part of the lease; you can say exact you’d have to say approximate for all the reasons
mentioned in the conversations.
But | don’t think moving it back to the Budget Committee at this point is prudent. | think that there are other
alternatives and | think for the expediency of getting this done, that doesn’t mean that we are finalizing it and
writing it in indelible ink tonight. The lease would be the next step and that lease is being written, it will include
the words in this agreement, plus anything else we want to add and including the mets and bounds and that
will come back for approval. But let’s get the contractor on the hook so that he knows that the City is willing to
work with him, that he has some confidence that he’s going to be spending all this money in Nashua and not
be hung up on details that can be worked out in other documents.
President Wilshire
OK the motion is to re-refer. Anyone else? Alderwoman Lu?
Alderwoman Lu
So I’ve got my answers, | mean it’s not in — Mr. Melville has answered my questions. Is it possible that we
could just ask him to give us a little idea of what we are looking at on the screen. Because if | understood that
diagram then | would vote against re-referring, | mean it would make a difference.
President Wilshire
Mr. Melville.
Attorney Melville
Yes, can you all hear me? | apologizes, | am working with my audio/visual it’s kind of studio / office here.
What we are looking at is the first floor plan, it’s labeled 49 spaces here.
President Wilshire
We can’t see it.
Attorney Melville
OK sorry | am going to try to share the screen again.
Alderman Lopez
For what it is worth, your sound quality is amazing.
Attorney Melville
Thank you | have a new console | just put in a couple of days ago. Can you all see it now? (Several Aldermen
say “yes”) It’s on one of those screens. So what you are looking at down here towards the left, the 49 spaces
are marked in red, just the label 49 spaces. | have drawn it from the first floor plan here and this is what |
received this morning so like | say this is brand new for me as well. But this is what we are showing the
parking garage plan.
