| don’t know. The Board of Health did recommend it; for it to be considered an Aldermen, well in order to enact
a curfew there would need to be action by the Board of Health, which has occurred, but also by the Board of
Aldermen, the same process that was used for the mask Ordinance.

REMARKS BY THE ALDERMEN
Alderman Klee
Mr. Mayor | have a comment, remarks if | may, thank you. It has nothing to do with Finance. It is just today
they announced 21 more deaths in the State of New Hampshire. For those people out there who have lost
those 21 family members and friends | wanted to at least send out my condolences. It is devastating to hear a

how to use it after 4 years, it just...
Mr. Codagnone
Essentially, yeah. It’s not really per person that’s for a classroom training, you know, so it’s the type of thing
that they do need to have a lot of training to utilize the system effectively. They have had training in the past
but in order to expand the usage of it and get more bang for our buck, we do need more additional training for
the resources in DPW.

Alderman O’Brien
Mr. Mayor, if | may, Alderman O’Brien. Thank you Mr. Mayor. Just to remind Alderman Klee and
Representative Klee, last (inaudible) | did file a bill to increase in that metering. As we know, eventually it was
vetoed by the Governor, you know. So | put it in again, ready to smash my head up against the dam or
whatever, but we will see if goes through and hopefully we have better luck this time. So | think there’s enough
Legislation, hopefully, and we can get that net metering better.

Alderwoman Lu?
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you so my question is just — this is $2.6 million dollar purchase and | just wondered. | think the
paperwork said it did not go out to bid. And | understand the paperwork said that they are the only qualified
person in the area. But it also made a reference to the Ordinance and the Ordinance gives like | don’t know 10
different reasons why bidding is not needed in this case. And I’m not sure which of those 10 reasons you know
this one qualifies?

The Mine Falls Project has ...
Alderman Klee
Has the potential for 5.
Ms. Chisolm
That’s a three megawatt project.
Alderman Klee
3 megawatts OK. And we do use the power of this, correct? The megawatts power falls within the State’s
guidelines of allowing us to, without having to do any extra Legislation?
Ms. Chisolm
We sell the power. We sell the power from both of those projects.
Alderman Klee
OK.
