Jim Testaverde, Deputy Police Chief
Yes Ma’am. | apologize. You're absolutely correct. The $2,500 is the initial cost to do the unlimited service
and the other $1,000 that we're asking to be appropriated is to actually start to use the translation while we
wait to see if we get the grant.
Alderman Harriot-Gathright
Okay.

Alderwoman Klee.
Alderman Klee
| believe those are two separate Memos so if I'm not correct. Yes, they were two separate items. The lighting
is a separate item from the purchase of the vehicles.
Brian Sojka, Fleet Maintenance Manager
Correct.
Mayor Donchess
Yeah | don’t know if you have the agenda but we’re just on the $83,000 purchase at this point. All right any
other comments or questions? Alderwoman Kelly.

Alderwoman Lu
Well | know they’re not.
Mayor Donchess
They own the team and they have a catering business also down in Worcester. So they are a well-established
organization. If you go over there, they’re definitely there.
Alderwoman Lu
My thoughts go along the same lines when we make appointments and we’re not using — these people are not identifying
that they, in fact, do live in the City of Nashua. It’s just my feeling that | prefer it to be done differently but, you know,
thank you.
