Board of Aldermen — 7/11/17 Page 5
Alderman O’Brien
I'll be there.
Alderman Deane
If you get a chance to take a look at it, it’s a phenomenal piece of art and there’s a lot of talk through the skate
community. The kids are excited. They’ve closed the old park. The last | know they’ve done absolutely
nothing over there to it. The kids understand. They see what’s going on and the adults as well see what’s
going on. |’ve taken a lot of pictures and it’s quite an amazing amount of work and the Division of Public Works
should be commended for their involvement with the project. You talk to a lot of the guys and they echo the
comments. It’s nice to do something when your're finish. It’s up on top of the ground instead of below it. Most
of the work they do is buried. It’s moving right along. | just thought I'd let my colleagues if you want to go down
and take a look at it, you should do that. Thank you.
Alderman Cookson
Just wanted to let Alderman Siegel know that he’s in my family’s thoughts and prayers and wish him a speedy
recovery and hope to see him back in the horseshoe very soon.
Alderman Dowd
I’d also like to wish Alderman Siegel a speedy recovery. To the Mayor’s point, I've had a number of people
contact me about these fireworks being the best that they’ve ever seen in Nashua. They were very excited
about the city putting on such a great display.
Alderman Caron
|, too, would like to wish Ken a speedy recovery and | miss his banter. As far as the fireworks, they’re always
great and we always get a lot of bang for our buck Mayor.
Alderman Deane
| remember the day when Alderman Caron used to go out and count them to make sure we weren’t getting
shortchanged.
Alderman Caron
That’s right. Thank you, Alderman Deane.
Alderman Schoneman
Along with the rest of my colleagues here, |’d like to wish all the best to Alderman Siegel from myself and my
family. Thank you.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
Again | would like to echo the good wishes and thoughts to Alderman Siegel and look forward to seeing him
joining us here in the horseshoe. Unfortunately | was out of town so | wasn’t able to enjoy the fireworks but |
heard many positive comments. | was like hum maybe | made a bad decision. On the note of fireworks as
many of us know, there’s been a lot of personal fireworks taking place in the city. At least one property in my
neighborhood reported some damage from personal fireworks. So I’ve had a conversation with the Police
Chief about just maybe looking forward to educating the public around first of all the fact that it’s illegal to use
them within the city but also the dangers to both the property and to other individuals in using them. Just a
comment about that. Thank you.
