for their porch parties, introducing their neighbors to candidates and office holders. Sandra has also been very
active in the City, Planning Board member, an advocate for the neighborhood. She keeps a beautiful, beautiful
garden. But she is active in the Arts and just in many ways as contributed to Nashua so it is very sad that her
mother Catherine passed away and I’d like to extend my condolences to Sandra and all the rest of the family.
That’s all | have Madam President, unless there are questions.
RESPONSE TO REMARKS OF THE MAYOR
Alderman Lopez
Yeah just two things. First, just an observation in talking to DPW about the upcoming changes it was a little
confusing at first, but we have a Veteran’s Drive next to the Nashua Guard and we want to change the
Parkway to Veteran’s Parkway so we have to change one of them to Veteran’s Parkway and one from
Veteran’s Drive to something else, otherwise we end up with two streets with practically the same name which
is confusing.
And then the second thing was a question to the Mayor, in that there is funding to reimburse for overtime, is
there any chance that funding could be used towards pensions since pensions are calculated based on
overtime and annual projections or is that just wishful thinking.
Mayor Donchess
Well we can check that out, certainly not any pensions beyond those hours expended. But we will check that
out.
Alderman Lopez
OK thanks.
