Alderman Deane
Mr. President, | move to allow her to speak.
President McCarthy
If there are no objections we will allow it.
Ms. Olinson
My name is Elaine, and | have been a resident of Nashua for 30 years. I’m really excited about the
partnering of our twin sister. | think it's a wonderful opportunity. | had the opportunity of hosting one of
the sculptors as part of the Nashua International Sculpture Symposium, and had an opportunity to meet
with him for several weeks. Again, | think it’s an amazing opportunity for our wonderful City of Nashua.
Thank you for letting me share my thoughts.
President McCarthy
Alderman Deane, with respect to the street lights, as | understand the tariffs are based on the number of
hours of darkness when the lights are expected to be on times the wattage of each of the lights. When

President McCarthy

It’s pretty well known when the lights will go on and go off on each day of the year.
Alderman Deane

President McCarthy
| have no idea. If they are, it’s likely on the fact that their inventory of the lights is not accurate or that the
rate that they are charging is viewed as excessive, but the bill is based on usage. | want to express my
sadness and frustration over the events that have taken place in the last couple of weeks that a number
of you commented on. | will be asking the Chief to come in and talk to us about policing initiatives and
why those things are not likely to happen here. | don’t plan to do that until after the summer schedule is
over so we don’t drag everybody in for an additional meeting. This may not be the best time to have that
conversation anyway, but | will ask the Chief to come in and talk about that at some point.
Committee announcements:
Alderman Cookson
We will be having our Committee on Infrastructure this Thursday evening, the 14"", at 7:00 p.m. in these
Chambers. We had the David Deane Skate Park legislation on our agenda. | believe we are going to
