And it is not by anything that we can do because that is not something that the City of Nashua should have
to bear the burden because the State of New Hampshire is receiving an incredible amount of money to deal
with this but unfortunately, they never consulted us to see why our model was so successful.

Chairman O’Brien

Before we adjourn, is there anybody from the Board of Aldermen that has a question for Attorney Clarke or
Treasurer Fredette on either one of the items that we just had the Public Hearing on as they will probably
be stepping off of the meeting? Alderman Lopez.

Alderman Lopez

| have a question. Is Chief Rhodes still on?

Alderman O’Brien

Mr. Chairman? May | rise to ask a parliamentary question, please?

Chairman Dowd

Sure.

Alderman O’Brien

You did not mention that there would be a time limit and we do have two testimony in favor and two
testimony in opposition. Would Mr. Davidson where he may have had to cut his point of view short, could
he speak again in the second half of the testimony in question?

Chairman Dowd

Yes.

Alderman O’Brien

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Chairman Dowd
