Given its second reading;
MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN KELLY FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-21-118, BY ROLL CALL
ON THE QUESTION
Alderwoman Kelly
And I'd like to speak to it please.
President Wilshire
Alderwoman Kelly.
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you. | know the Mayor mentioned this piece of Legislation. We had a good conversation around it at
Committee. | have been very passionate about this and as everyone spoke about it at the Committee level, this
is Step 1, just to get it open and have the conversations and then continue to build affordable housing. As we
saw with the Housing Report that we got earlier this year, this is a critical need for Nashua. | am thankful for
everyone’s support on this and looking forward to continuing the good work here.
President Wilshire
The Motion before us is for final passage. Is there discussion on that motion? Alderman Klee?
Alderman Klee
Thank you, Madam President. | want to add my voice to how excited | am about this. Myself, Alderman
Schmidt and Alderman Cleaver had met with a community group and they were very interested in this type of
Trust Fund and so on to kind of get us started. We keep talking about this as the “baby” this is the seedling
that we are starting this Trust Fund from. The group that we met with, | think they want more and | think we will
get there, but we are going to have to take baby steps.
