peace there and they prevented me from going on the property. | got there about five minutes to ten and
it started at ten and they said no. As | was standing by the property and would have trespassed on the
property if | came back, two people in a truck came by and they said they wanted to go to and the guy
said no, it started at ten and if you weren’t here by ten then skedaddle. | don’t know what your power is
over the police chief, | think he is appointed but is he elected?
Alderman McCarthy
He is appointed by the independent police commission.
Mr. Haas
Oh that’s right, | forgot about that. | just want to get to the bottom and the bottom line in the auctioneer,
the federal auctioneer who wasn’t licensed by Dave Gardner of Secretary of State’s Office. Even the
RSA says that all auctioneers, not exempting the federal auctioneers, have to submit an accounting of
what happened over there to the city clerk. So either he pushes it to the city clerk’s office or she ought to
be able to pull it by sending a notice to the Ward Alderman, Dowd and that’s why | wrote to him. | wrote
to the other guy because he is the Ward Alderman for where the auction took place. | thought they
would have some type of feedback to me on what to do. | come down here to spend money and | was
prevented from spending money so you would think that you would say that we will straighten it out so it
doesn’t happen next time and in the meantime, we will issue a reprimand or something like that that
something wasn’t done and the law was not complied with. | went to the commission over there and
there was a public hearing and they said too bad, those guys paid and whoever pays us gives the
command and | said no, you took an oath of office to abide by the Constitution and my rights were
violated and so what | am doing is | am giving you notice to correct the situation and if you don’t then |
might sue the city because that’s a violation of my rights. | am not doing this for myself, | am doing this
for Ed Brown too because the money that could have been collected....| went to a coin shop and he said
that if he had known about it he would have gone there too and other people would have gone and it
would have increased the price. His debt that he owes to Uncle Sam would have been paid off more
with money coming in so for not even advertising it... The city clerk said yes, they can advertise on the
city’s website but that opportunity was not even presented to them and maybe they didn’t even know
about it. Maybe McLaughlin, | don’t know what his problem is over there of not complying with the law
because the only place that | saw it was on the federal website. There was no advertisement.
Alderman Siegel
Your five minute time limit is up.
Mr. Haas
Well | leave it up to you, please would you do something about it. | spent some time coming down here
and like | said, stuff should have been done in writing and I’m not getting any feedback from the Mayor,
from the city clerk and the two Aldermen. | will send you all of the e-mails if you want. Do | give it to
someone to distribute it to someone else, | don’t know, | mean come on, please. Thank you.
REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Alderman Lopez
| want to comment that next Monday at 8:00 p.m. at Rotary Commons we are holding a vigil for everyone
we have lost to substance abuse and addiction. It’s the summer solstice and it’s meant to reflect the one
day at a time that people make to remain sober. Tonight Positive Street Art held a vigil for the Orlando
victims and they committed to free style dancing after their class.
