MOTION BY ALDERMAN KLEE TO AMEND R-20-077 AND PUT IT ON THE BALLOT
Alderman O’Brien
Excuse me, point of order. Was that a vote on moving the question?
President Wilshire
That was a vote on moving the question.
Alderman Dowd
Now it’s the question.
President Wilshire
Now it’s the question, right.
Alderman O’Brien
OK thank you.
President Wilshire
The Motion is to put the R-20-077 question on the ballot. Would the Clerk call the roll?
Alderman Jette
Madam President, | have a point of order question for Attorney Bolton. So the question we would be
putting on the ballot is renaming Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Nashua. Not selecting
another day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day which | think was what Alderman Klee was looking for. | just want
to make sure we understand what we are voting on. What we would put on the ballot is the question of
renaming Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day am | not correct about that.
Attorney Bolton
Yes | think the question would actually read something like, Shall the Board of Aldermen or should the
Board of Aldermen vote to rename Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day or words to that effect. And
| Know this was coming, | could have been more thoughtful as how to word it all. | think that’s how it would
come out.
Alderman Klee
Madam President?
