Alderman Lopez
| just want to point out, everyone has been thanking me but she’s been working for years, all | did was
nominate her.
Alderman Dowd
Just really quickly, yesterday the Mayor, myself, Alderman Jette and Alderman Klee stood out in the
rain and the snow to watch the Ribbon Cutting for the Connection of the Pennichuck in Nashua to the
Pennichuck East Utility in Litchfield. They laid 5,600 feet of pipe under the river to provide clean
drinking water to Litchfield and beyond because of the pollution over there that they’ve been having. It
was quite an event. Honorable Chuck Morris, the President of the Senate was there and | think we
must’ve had about 40 people in a 10x10 space under a tent. But it is a very interesting site, it’s kind of
hard to find but it is going to provide a fantastic service for the community.
Alderman Klee
| just wanted to add one other thing, the trees that were donated to Delaney House were donated from
a very incredible man, he is the manager of the Home Depot, Exit 6 and he donated the five live trees
personally — not from Home Depot, but he donated five live trees, not plastic to the Delaney House and
| wanted to thank him for doing that.
Committee announcements:
Alderman O’Brien
Tomorrow night, November 28", at 7:00 p.m. here in the Aldermanic Chamber we are going to have the
Infrastructure Committee meeting. We will be approving the preliminary design of the Greeley Park
Boat Ramp.
Alderman Dowd
Yes this evening we had the first reading of the secretary’s contract for the school department and had
to call a Budget Meeting on December 6th because by legislation we have to handle contracts in a
timely manner. So | am going to have a meeting on December 6th to discuss that one item.
Alderman Caron
Personnel will be meeting Monday December 3” at 6:00 p.m. We have a lot of people coming in for
appointments for various committees.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
Tomorrow night’s evening was originally scheduled as a joint Infrastructure/PEDC meeting and | know |
will not be there because we have a meeting for the Joint Special School Committee and | wasn’t sure
whether or not we would have a quorum. So in not wanting to lack of quorum of one of the committees
hold up that meeting, that meeting was re-posted this afternoon as being an Infrastructure meeting.
That being said, for members of PEDC who were planning on going, | would encourage you to go. It is
certainly an infrastructure project but it is also something | think it is going to have an economic impact
downtown and in the greater City. So to get an understanding of how that project is moving forward,
would probably be useful and | know | will be watching that meeting at some point. So | would just
encourage you to attend even though it no longer posted as a joint meeting. Thank you.
