Mayor Donchess

As Chairman of the Finance Committee, | find that due to the State of Emergency declared by the
Governor as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and in accordance with the Governor's Emergency Order
#12 pursuant to Executive Order 2020-04, this public body is authorized to meet electronically.

Nonetheless, the City will have the opportunity for one round of substantive edits from
Staffand one round of substantive edits in direct response to comments from public
bodies like the City Council and Planning Board.

Deliverable: Draft comprehensive plan, two revised versions during the process,
and one final draft for approval and publication. The final draft will be available in

past plans, give a snapshot of current planning and economic trends in Nashua, and
summarize analysis of demographics and physical and environmental conditions of the
City. In subsequent conversations, we will gather the collective input of the public on

festivals, dedicated focus groups and/or interviews, one-off events, and “intercept”
outreach at busy sites like the farmers market, transfer station or grocery stores.
Activities could include straightforward tabling with Q&As, mapping outreach
exercises, and storytelling techniques used to gather information and attitudes about
specific places. While the exact number of events depends on Nashua and New
Hampshire’s evolving guidance on social distancing, between seven and ten of these
