Alderman Clemons
Thank you Madam President. | just wanted to reiterate something that | said in the past and that is that | admire
all of our City employees. And in particular, our City Attorney’s Office, | think you do a wonderful job and | think
folks who unfortunately have the other opinion or a different opinion might have one because of some biases. But
| certainly think that you serve our citizens well, you serve us well and keep up the good work. Thank you.
President Wilshire
Anyone else? Alderman Dowd.
Alderman Dowd
Just a couple of quick things, one additional note I’d make relative to the School Department is we have bottom
line budget authority but once we give them the money from the budget, they have autonomy on how to spend it.
So we always reiterate that during the budget season. The other things is last week the Mayor had a special
event outside City Hall recognizing all the work that the Public Health Department has done to support the City,
especially during the pandemic. It was very nice recognition for all of those workers who were there. Also we
have now received the AOT Permit that is Alteration of Terrain Permit from the State of New Hampshire. So
Pennichuck Middle School construction will be moving out very smartly, probably tomorrow or Thursday. While
we were waiting for the AOT the contractor had to leave to do some other job and they will be back.
Also on O-21-060 on Cleveland Street, those signs and requirements have been approved by the Department of
Public Works but it needed the Legislation to put the signs up in the right of way and those are all for safety,
safety of the students. So we will be addressing those in Infrastructure. Thank you.
President Wilshire
Thank you. Anyone else? Seeing none, Committee Announcements?
