PERIOD FOR PUBLIC COMMENT RELATIVE TO ITEMS EXPECTED TO BE ACTED UPON THIS EVENING
Kevin Rourke, Nashua Police Chief
Good evening. Thank you for allowing me to speak tonight. I'd like to speak on behalf of the Collective Bargaining
Agreement between the Nashua Police Commissioners and the UFPO Local 645. The Union is made up of 17 civilian
members. Most of these are civilian supervisors and they supervise the Teamsters Union. They include 3 lawyers, IT
manager, Community Policing Coordinator, 2 Fleet Maintenance Supervisors, Citywide Radio Communications
Supervisor, 2 Domestic Violence Advocates, the Records Manager and our Building Maintenance Supervisor. They are
some very talented and important people that we have today at the PD.
During the early part of negotiations, we expressed to them, like we do all our Unions, the cities perspective on important
items. One of those important items was the health care give back with HMO deductible plan. This was very important to
the Mayor and the City. They gave that back with no reservation. They were very reasonable in their proposal. The
Nashua Police Commissioners and | think this is a very fair and reasonable contract and | would ask that you support this
contract this evening. Thank you.
Tim Senna
Thank you. Tim Senna, 62 Underhill Street, Nashua. I’m just here to briefly speak to Ordinance 0-22-004 which will
prohibit a right turn on red from Adventure Way onto Daniel Webster Highway. | just want to start by thanking Alderman
Thibeault for offering this legislation and everybody who supported it either here in this chamber or with the Infrastructure
Committee.
The reason | want to speak to this tonight it’s not a particularly exciting or attractive piece of legislation, but anybody who’s
driven down Daniel Webster Highway lately can see how important that intersection is becoming. The Bu’s gas station
has recently opened there and the recent influx in gas prices has caused significant traffic increases in that area backing
up in both directions, not just down the South end, but the North end as well. Just around the corner we have plans and
intent from the Costco Superstore to open their new location behind Old Navy, which is going to add to that block of traffic.
| want to repeat my thanks to Alderman Thibeault and hope that everybody in this room will keep this intersection at the
forefront of their minds as this development increases. It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better and | hope
