That’s where it stands out. | think it is reasonable to point it out. It’s not you, it’s them. So think about
that. Thank you.
REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Alderman Jette
The ordinance that | proposed raising the age to which people can buy tobacco related products, raising
it from 18 to 21, is going to be heard by the Personnel/Administrative Affairs Committee on Monday
night. Anyone who wants to be heard on that issue, they are welcome to come Monday night. As a
matter of information, there was a Senate Bill in the New Hampshire State Senate to raise the age from
18 to 21 statewide. That was before the Commerce Committee. The Commerce Committee voted to
hold it in committee. | haven’t been able to find out what the discussion was or why they did that. | just
know that Senator Waters, who sponsored it, said that the effect of that is is it is still alive but will not be
acted on until next January. As far as raising it statewide for the time being and for the foreseeable
future that’s not going to happen. We in Nashua, if we want to, we can do it here in Nashua. It will be
before that committee Monday night, at 7 p.m., here in the Aldermanic Chamber.
Alderman Caron
| would just like to say thank you to the Citizens Advisory Committee for working very diligently last
Thursday to put together the numbers for the agency requests that came in this year. The Mayor was
working on a timeline, and we promised that we would get all the numbers to his office by Friday. They
worked very diligently to do this. Without the help of the community, the citizens, these agencies, they
would not know how hard these agencies work, so | really want to say thank you to all of them for the
time during the last three months that they have put in for this project. Thank you.
Alderman Lopez
| had a lot of constituent feedback regarding the proposed resolution that Alderman Jette referenced. |
do plan to ask the committee to hold it until April because there are more people that want to participate
that aren’t able to make the March meeting. | just wanted to make it clear that we weren’t forgetting
them.
Additionally, | wanted to remind everyone of the Special Election on March 5. JajaBelle’s is hosting both
of the candidates. Tomorrow Fred Teeboom will be there from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Ben Clemons will
be there the day after.
Alderman Klee
Ordinance 19-039, | know is going to Infrastructure. Do we have a schedule on that?
President Wilshire
It’s in Infrastructure. | don’t know when the next meeting is.
Alderman O’Brien
Tomorrow night.
Alderman Klee
Will it be before you tomorrow night? The reason I’m asking is | have a lot of constituents that want to
know.
