Alderman Caron
| think the idea of a skateboard park is very important for the city. The city took great pride in building the
original skateboard park. The skateboard park is Ward 7 and even when | worked for the city we did not
have a lot of problems there. Yes, there was some vandalism but when you looked further into it; it was
not the skateboarders who were causing the problems. The skateboarders worked very hard to run
camps and teach kids how to use that facility and to take care of it and be proud of it. | think moving this
over to an area where we already have recreation facilities is a great thing. If you want Nashua to be
progressive and for people to think about us then you don’t want that skateboard park to die on Bridge
Street and never get replaced. A lot of the locations had asbestos or ledge so | think that he and his
committee and the group from Eastern Border has done a very good job and | am fully in favor of
relocating the park at this site.

President McCarthy
Would you care to mention what the changes are in the golden rod copy?
Mayor Donchess
| think what the change is and maybe the Infrastructure Committee can correct me if | am wrong but one
small parcel was dropped out of this because it is a parcel that is ineligible for federal reimbursement. It
is part of the little roadway that goes down from the Millyard down to Mine Falls and the idea is that we
