Well that’s not the case Robert, that’s not the case at all.
Mr. Farineli Then howto do plan on enforcement, who is planning on enforcing this and how?
President Wilshire
This isn’t a give and take, I’m just telling you the City is not looking for people’s business licenses. Do you
have anything else Robert?
Mr. Farineli Can you explain to me how you plan on enforcing this then?
President Wilshire
No | cannot.
Mr. Farineli Of course Nashua loves to keep its secrets.

Clemons asking what the tax rate was going to be and that is surprising. The Aldermen oughtto be more
familiar with this kind of accounting and the fact that you only give them a day for the meeting on this
question as well as on the escrow question which is quite complex, you give them only a day to make a
vote is not excusable. Thank you.
President Wilshire
Thank you. Anyone else from the public that wishes to give public comment?

The letter did go out but Mr. Teeboom hasn't received it. A fund balance will go up at the end Mr.
Teeboom so Mr. Griffin can you give the exact number but | believe it’s — the fund balance will go up above
the figure you just mentioned and is going to be added to, to the tune of about, | think about $700,000.00.
Mr. Teeboom So you are $700,000.00 above the 10%.

Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel
Madam President?
President Wilshire
Attorney Bolton.
Attorney Bolton
The Ordinance allows for public comment. It does not mean that the Board of Aldermen is subjected to a
cross examination.
President Wilshire
Thank you, Attorney Bolton.
Mr. Teeboom In absence of his letter which does not exist to my knowledge, it’s fair for me to ask the
question what is the fund balance. Could somebody address that question?

| just wanted to point out that this deafness awareness week, so | think we all just got a little bit of a taste of
what people are going through. So in all seriousness it would be nice if we had a deaf translator or
something like that in future meetings where we are doing these visually things, but yeah it was a good
solidarity moment we just had about the frustration people experience trying to speak and be heard and
also trying to understand what people are saying.
