Special Bd. of Aldermen — 05/14/2019 Page 4
Testimony in Favor
Andrew Olding 8 Royal Crest Drive. So the idea of adding or appointing does sound iffy to me but | do like this
because obviously the special elections do cost a lot of money. | would like to make a recommendation for an
amendment to this where particularly on this Board if the vacancy is an at-large, | think it’s perfectly fine to fill it,
if the vacancy is a Ward, | think you should still have a special election because at that point in time, only the
at-large are the people who actually represent that Ward at any given time. And so the Ward should be able to
choose its own representation. If it’s an at-large it is easier because you all represent, collectively, all of
Nashua and that’s cleaner to me. And just doing a special election on a Ward | don’t think is going to cost the
$30,000.00 or whatever the last special election cost us. | don’t know exactly how much it cost but | figure like
$5,000.00, $6,000.000.
President Wilshire
About $30,000.00 about $35,000.00 Is there anyone else who wants to give testimony in favor of R-18-073?
