Alderman Tencza
Just a follow up, again thank you to Clerk’s Office and | had questions yesterday for them and | was
amazed at how quickly they were able to respond and how knowledgeable. | was able to get back to
folks who had questions, with really answers that everyone could accept. So thank you for all the hard
work that the Clerk’s Office had done.
Just to follow up on something that the Mayor talked about earlier and Ms. Ortolano talked about tonight
too. These meetings, if nothing else, it is an opportunity for folks to go talk to KRT and get information.
It is not the end of the process as the Mayor outlined; there are multiple other steps. If you really feel
that your assessment is off, it is going to be worth your time to go these meetings, get information and
then figure out how to approach it later on. So hopefully folks are happy and satisfied as the process
goes forward.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
First | would like to thank GAD and all of the restaurants and breweries and wineries that took part in
putting together a great evening Sunday night on Main Street. The Mayor and Alderman Lopez were
there serving and the Mayor | hear might be serving at MT so let us know. And the only request of
course is that we have heaters because it gets cold when the sun goes down. But it was a delightful
evening and some of us got to sample beers from the brewery that is going to be opening up in the fire
station over by the Court Street Building and they were very good.
The second thing is the Everett Turnpike project there is going to be a public hearing on October 3,
2018 at the Merrimack High School. The Hearing will begin at 7:00 but the doors will open at 6:00 so
there will be an opportunity to look at the information they have. If you would like to look at a draft of the
environmental study it is available at www.everettturnpikewidening.com.
The Wheels and Wings event is going to be at the airport, I’m sure Alderman Dowd will be there, that is
Saturday from 10 to 2 and | think something that they do that is very important for families who have
children who are sensitive to noise, they do a ‘no horn hour’ the last hour. So the sirens will not be
going and the horns will not be honking, but your child will still have an opportunity to enjoy the
equipment.
The last household hazardous waste will be October 6 and November 3 so as we all get ready to clean
up and do all our fall clean ups, just a reminder that there are two more hazardous waste collections.
And finally, | can’t believe it was only a couple of weeks ago, but thank you Mayor Donchess for all of
the City support for the Nashua Goes Back to School Event. Someone said to me — oh well you do it at
the library and | said — no you don’t understand, we have Fire & Police and Park & Rec and we have
the Library and certainly we couldn’t do it without the school district support and all of the principals
being there. As usual, my right-hand person, as | point to my left, Alderman Caron who coordinates this
event of packing the bags which Mayor Donchess witnessed this year, but just thank you to the City for
all of their support and to the committee and Alderman Caron. Thank you.
Alderwoman Shoshanna Kelly
| wanted to thank the Board for passing R-18-070, | know that it is a small thing but helping to reduce
congestion downtown for BAE, giving them some alternatives and certainly as a member of the Board
of Energy & Environment Committee | think this is a step in the right direction to help us reduce our
energies.
