Also, the Stepping Stones program a new program to Nashua located in Pine Street Extension, works with
adolescent homeless youth, another huge problem that we've finally started to make some headway on for
people who are experiencing homelessness ages 18 to 25. It gives them a day center to go to. It gives thema
place where they can search for jobs or even just take a crash from the pressure of the day, pursue education,
identify resources and case managers. It’s a really good program and they are also going to be working on
extending into Saturday. So again | want to thank Director Bagley for all of her help in managing that meeting. It
is a very good step | think and there was a lot of conversation about what we could do to better approach this in
future meetings so | think it was very encouraging.
And then finally | just wanted to let my constituents know that we have scheduled a Ward 4 Town Hall for March
18". So | will be posting about that on my page; it should be on the City’s website. Please plan to attend and
bring any issues that you have that are local to Ward 4 up. It'll be your chance to talk to the Mayor, find out about
City Projects that he’s working on and express your views. Thank you.
President Wilshire
You're welcome. Anyone else? Alderman Klee?

President Wilshire
Alderman Caron, | am sorry about that.

That’s ok — when you can’t see someone. Thank you Alderman Klee. On a happy note I'd like to take the time to
thank Ruth Raswyk Deputy City Treasurer for her 45 years of service to the City of Nashua. She beat me out by
a couple of years. Her dedication to her job and the citizens of the City should not go unnoticed. | want to wish
her many happy years in her retirement and know that she will be missed by all who worked with her over the
years. Because of COVID and everything she really didn’t have a huge retirement party, but hopefully down the
road the Board of Aldermen will be able to recognize her in person before the year is out. And thank you for that,
Alderman Klee.
President Wilshire
Thank you Alderman Caron. Alderman Klee?
Alderman Klee
Thank you, Madam President. | have a couple of comments to make. One is I'd like to thank the Mayor for his
Ward 3 Town Hall Meeting. | have gotten a lot of really good feedback for it. The residents of Ward 3 that were
able to attend truly appreciated it and because it is videoed, | was able to send that out to other constituents who
were unable to make it that day. It brought up conversation and | think that was a great thing. The same with the
Parking Study Meeting for Ward 3 that Director Cummings had. That too brought up conversation and | was able
