John Griffin, CFO
We noticed it late this afternoon and tried to contact the legislative office but we thought we'd be able to explain it
here. So there really isn’t any need to have a agree and disagree for 164.
Chairman Dowd
So we only need a public hearing on 168 and 169?
John Griffin, CFO
Correct.
Chairman Dowd
So 168 was just described to us about the opioid abatement expendable trust fund that was explained by Director
Bagley. Okay. So on R-21-168 I'll take any testimony in favor.

Chairman Dowd closed the public hearing on Resolution R-21-168 at 7:09 p.m.
Chairman Dowd opened the public hearing on Resolution R-21-169 Authorizing the City of Nashua to Enter into an
Agreement and Consent to Joint Use with Liberty Utilities and Making a Supplemental Appropriation of $38,394. Who
is going to give us an overview of that?
Dan Hudson, City Engineer
| can do that Mr. Chair. So Dan Hudson, City Engineer. The city has a drainage and sewer easement which runs off
the end of Swart Terrace towards the railroad to the east. Liberty Utilities wishes to upgrade their gas service to that
neighborhood. They have a high pressure main along the railroad so they're seeking to co-exist in our easement for a
portion of it because where it comes to Swart Terrace is narrow.
Working with Legal, we’ve drafted an agreement with them. It involves them paying us to line one of our drainage
pipes which is in close proximity to this proposed gas line. Those linings are now good for 50 plus years, 75 years, or
something like that. So we’re comfortable with this co-existence and this easement area with a provision that that
lining occur. So the $38,394 that’s derived from our lining contract with our contractor, and their unit rates, and this is
no cost to the city. This is Liberty making that contribution in return for us granting this right to co-exist on our
easement.
Chairman Dowd
Any questions from any of the Aldermen on this Resolution? Seeing none, I'll open up the public hearing on R-21-
169.
