$50,000.00 | think we can all agree that qualifier is proper and these people do need some attention
particularly with the State revaluation that was mandated upon and that came upon us. This seems like
a fair way for the City to react, thank you.

PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT
Fred Teeboom, 24 Cheyenne Drive. Good evening, | am here to introduce Lynn Berry. You may have
read the newspaper recently that had an article about Lynn Barry, an editorial about Lynn Berry and I’d
like to briefly mention her before | introduce her. Lynn Barry is 86 years old. Lynn has been a 63 year
resident of Nashua. She is probably the feistiest 86 year old that I've ever met. She has owned a
business in Nashua for 25 years and paid taxes to the City all through that time.
Lynn Berry fell on some bad times and she needed some help, she needed some help to repair a
broken water pipe, hot water pipe in a mobile home and she didn’t have quite the cash to pay for that.
She got some estimates that came to $100.00 to $200.00, basically needed like a shark back coupler
inserted into a section of the pipe. Because she didn’t have the money she contacted the City, the City
put her in touch with the HUD program office and now Ms. Barry has $1100.00 mortgage on her home.
That is not right. The system failed her. We failed her. We need a better system than what happened
to Ms. Barry. I'll let her tell her own story, she’s perfectly capable of it, she will be the next speaker Ms.
Chairman.
