Board of Aldermen 06-12-2018 Page 19
So a reminder to individuals that although you may be able to buy them they are illegal to use in the
City and it is my sincere hope that the Police Department will be responding to calls from residents
regarding the fireworks occurring in their neighborhood. Thank you.
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you Mr. President. | just wanted to thank anyone who had a hand in the moving of the Farmer's
Market to Main Street, | think that is going to be a wonderful cultural shift for our Downtown community
and | hope everyone will come out on Sunday and see that.
Alderman Jette
So | had told you that | was going to be sponsoring a resolution or an ordinance to form a Committee to
study the solid waste and recycling situation. But at the last Board of Public Works meeting, the Board
of Public Works Commissioners voted to form a committee to do just that — to study specifically the
recycling situation and to see how best to deal with that. So | will not be sponsoring that resolution, the
Board of Public Works has already done it and they have asked me to serve on that committee which |
will be doing. Hopefully we will come up with some ideas on how to deal with the recycling situation.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
On Tuesday, June 19'" we will be celebrating in Nashua Juneteenth so that is a new one for different
community folks here. That is the celebration that ended slavery particularly for African-Americans. So
if you are free, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 19" at the Arlington Community Center, please
come out, there will be light refreshments.
President McCarthy
| would like to thank the organizers for the Tree Streets Block Party and particularly Alderman Lopez. |
had the opportunity to attend for a while, it was a very nice event. And | look forward to the new
Farmer’s Market on Main Street, that took a lot of work to get that to happen but | think it will be a great
asset for the City to have it there. It is going to have a lot more vendors and for the public that comes
downtown, the block between Pearl Street and Temple Street will be one-way southbound and there
will be a detour around that block of Main Street. But please come down and check out the Farmer’s
Market. There is plenty of parking at the Elm Street garage, just a block away from the start of the
market.
