Alderman Dowd
My condolences go out to the Delainis and Latvis families. | support the student member of the student
member Conservation Commission. The Board of Education has one student from each high school and
they do provide their opinions. You get a good insight of what is really going on in the high schools. We
did have a great election day but | was disappointed by how little people showed up. | really like the new
voting booths though. We have two candidates running in November who will be spending about $100
million to educate the students in the State of New Hampshire. People are tired of seeing negative
advertisement; it’s why people don’t come out to vote.
Alderman Deane
The Conservation Commission operates under their own rules and the only authority they have is to
issue recommendations could they not just take it upon themselves to appoint a student?
Mayor Donchess
That’s what | was basically suggesting. If the Board of Aldermen wanted to be involved then we could
propose legislation but | felt we could informally appoint the students.
MOTION BY ALDERMAN DEANE TO ASK THE MAYOR TO WORK INFORMALLY WITH
CONSERVATION COMMISSION CHAIR TO APPOINT A STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman O’Brien
Would that include both high schools?
Alderman Deane
The Conservation Commission is citywide. Was Mr. Gallagher looking for a student from each high
school?
Mayor Donchess
Possibly, depending on what we get for responses.
Alderman Deane
Why don’t we give the Mayor the authority to informally meet with Mr. Gallagher and if they want to
appoint a student from each high school so be it.
MOTION CARRIED
Alderman Clemons
My condolences go out to the Delainis and Latvis families but | also want to send condolences to the
family of Glen Marshall, my good friend. Glen was a mortgage originator like no one I’ve ever seen.
Glen helped countless numbers of Nashuan’s get their home for the first time or get a lower rate. He did
a lot of things for this community which some people might think are just business transactions but things
that we take for granted most of the time. He passed away unexpectedly in August and he will be
missed.
