wanted the window shrunk to Memorial Day to Labor Day and the city wanted the first of May to the middle of October.
So we compromise and cut two weeks off of the end. 5% decrease or something like that. So yeah, this is a compromise
but it's not much of a compromise.

Speaking of moral courage, my mother is against this 100% and she would kill me for my vote as a Nashua citizen that
she is. | hope she's in bed and she's not watching this because | will get a call. It will probably be about 60 minutes
tomorrow yelling at me for my vote, but | am going to support this. Thank you.

compromise. We really have listened to many of the businesses who had concerns and these amendments have
addressed as many as we really could. Is it perfect? No but I'm a recovering perfectionist so | think if you wait for perfect,
you're gonna get in the way of progress. So | think this is the right way forward for now and | really want to see us as a
city continue to look at how this becomes more of a permanent cultural shift for our downtown and what that looks like.

don't know how much longer we're gonna be here arguing about this. | would rather we just, you know, adopt with the
committee came up with and let the Mayor use the power that we've given him in the ordinance to make adjustments.

President Wilshire

Mayor did you want to chime in on that?

Overall, | can't support this legislation because | listened to the people. | read the e-mails. | heard the concerns from
public safety. | think there is an idea out there. | just don't think this is the one. Hats off to all my colleagues that spent
hours upon hours times that number of people trying to come up with a solution. | just can't support this one. Thanks.

fact is that anything related to the viatic use of the right of way, the owner of the fee interest has no right to control the city.
You can determine that with or without the agreement of the fee owner.

Now non-viatic uses. If the property owner or the owner of the fee interests objects, well then perhaps if it is a non-viatic
use and the court determines that as such, that objection could be recognized by the court and the court could order the
non-viatic use not take place.
