Board of Aldermen 11-12-2019 Page 16
We came out for Veterans Day Parade, it looked colder and looked like it was going to rain but it ended up
being a very nice event for everyone. So | appreciate everyone in the City who participated but also helped
make that happen. That’s it.
Alderman Caron
Yes thank you. | too would like to thank everyone who came out to vote on Election Day; it was not a bad
day unless you were standing there for 14 hours in the rain and cold. But also to Ms. Lovering and her
staff, congratulations, you jumped in with both feet, now wait for the primary which is going to be a lot of
fun. But everything seems to have gone smoothly; | heard a lot of good compliments so that is a wonderful
thing.
On another note, | too would like to give condolences to the Savage Family and also to the Elks because
they were such a big part of the National Lodge of Elks. | know that | worked with them for over 40 years
and Marion was always there by Al’s side, whether it was in the kitchen, in a parade, and back in the early
70’s when the City gave out the Service Youth Award during 4" of July, Al and Marion Savage were the
first people to receive it as a couple because they always did everything together concerning the youth of
the City. It is a tremendous loss | know. So thank you.
Alderman Lopez
| would also like to congratulate Ward 1 on being the best Ward and I’d like to thank Ward 4, everybody
who showed up despite having multiple jobs, being single parents. Thanks for making the time, although
we might want to do slightly more turnout for the primary. | also appear to have received on my desk a
petition from most of Eighth Street regarding on-street, overnight parking and it is printed on the back of a
parking ticket. So | am guessing that the parking department has been out. | got it guys. So | am planning
on giving this to City Clerk Lovering and maybe we can put it in the minutes of the Committee of
Infrastructure. We are in the middle of working on approving and finding a vendor for a comprehensive
parking plan for the City. We are going to hear more about that in the Committee; so we will take it up.
And then on a completely unrelated note, Mayor we have Coffee with the Mayor tomorrow at 8:00 right at
Ja Ja Belles?
Mayor Donchess
Yeah can you please try to be on time this time?
Alderman Lopez
| am promising nothing, the parking it terrible.
Mayor Donchess
At least you come.
Alderman Laws
I'd like to congratulate Ms. Lovering, I’m sure that was a daunting task. You did an exceptional job. I’d like
to congratulate everybody who ran here and won, | sincerely believe that the outcome was the best for the
at least next two years of this Board. I’d also like to point out that since Tuesday, at least 70 people have
come to me and complained that Sports Betting didn’t pass which is an odd coincidence, because it didn’t
pass by fewer than 70 votes. | would just like to take this opportunity to remind people that there are
elections every November and it would behoove you if you care about your community to show up and
vote. So thanks to the 60% of eligible voters in Nashua did make it to the polls. Let’s aim a little bit higher
next time. Thank you.
