Thank you, Mr. Chairman. | also enjoyed working with Mr. Kooken and | wish you a great retirement. | hope

you have a wonderful first year and enjoy your new home. | wonder if we could just go back, | had a question
about something, part of the meeting that | missed. Simply did we buy the barriers or are we leasing them?

GENERAL DISCUSSION

Mayor Donchess

you got a Memo about his replacement. But | just wanted to wish Mr. Kooken well and thank him for his
service to the City of Nashua.

Mayor Donchess

Yes.

Alderwoman Lu

Wonderful, that’s a good spot to work. And also why is the company not named on the Agenda? What is the
company name again?

Mayor Donchess
Mr. Ibarra?

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

It said Highway Safety.

Mr. Ibarra

Highway Safety.

Alderman Klee

It’s on there, it does say “Highway Safety”.

Alderman Klee

Yeah, and not the $247,720.00. | just wanted to get that straight and actually while | have the floor for a

moment, the correction to that other Memo that will take place and be reflected in the minutes? Is that correct?
The one that switched the grant to the City money. | just want people to understand that that was switched.

Mayor Donchess

That will definitely be reflected in the minutes.

Of course, yes.

Alderwoman Lu

| think it might have been asked, | apologize again. But do we have one of these already and is it just that we
need two?
