Memo
August 9, 2019

Su oject: O-19-051 PROVIDING FREE LIBRARY PARKING FOR UP TO THREE HOURS FOR
iWA STUDENTS USING THE NASHUA PUBLIC LIBRARY

At the August 9, 2019 Downtown Improvement Committee meeting discussion was presented regarding
a proposed resolution to provide free parking for students at the Nashua Public Library. The committee
is unanimously not in favor of 0-19-051. If we decide to provide free parking for one demographic we
must also consider requests from others, senior citizens, mothers with children, to name a few.

Entry Rate for Full Measure and List

2019 Scarborough, Maine = 55%
2017 Brunswick, Maine = 59%
2015 Longmeadow, Massachusetts = 43%

2006 Manchester, NH = 60%

Note:

Hudson, New Hampshire, is currently undergoing a full measure and list and after
the first pass, has a 24% entry rate.

e “Entry Rate into Properties”

It is not true that we can expect only a 15% entry rate. Full measure and lists conducted by other
communities indicate we can expect a much higher rate of compliance. It is simply not true that
“experts from other cities” believe only that only a “/0% entry rate” can be expected. (See
Exhibit 1.)

e “The Law”

© “City should wait to move forward on the Full List and Measure until the results of Mr.
Cornell’s Review are issued.”

The purpose of the technical audit currently being conducted is only to review practices and
procedures of the assessing department on behalf of city management. The scope of work does
not address a recommendation for a full measure and list.

e “The City should wait to move forward on the Full List and Measure until the Inquiry of
the New Hampshire Board of Tax and Land Appeals (NHBTLA) is Closed.”
