because | was obviously concerned that that Rail Trail being so popularly used is also used by a lot of kids, and a lot of
mothers with strollers, and a lot of people walking their dog. So | appreciate her timeliness. | appreciate in general
DPW’s patience in that area. The garbage fill up. There's a multiple volunteer groups that do brush cleanings and all that
kind of stuff and they're always there to lend a hand and be very supportive. | just wanted to express that appreciation.
Thank you.

President Wilshire, you did not see this woman (inaudible)
President Wilshire
Do not speak out in this meeting. | will ask you to be removed from the meeting if you continue. There's a process here.
Karen Bill
You just didn’t see him when you put his hand up this gentleman (inaudible).
President Wilshire
Enough.
Alderman Clemons
Thank you Madam President.
President Wilshire
| wasn’t humiliating anyone. So why don't you please be quiet back there or leave? That's a good idea.
Alderman Clemons
Thank you, Madam President. | will make this very brief. | just wanted to wish everybody a Happy Easter and Happy

wish to attend the Planning and Economic Development Committee meeting on May 17" for the public hearing around the
rezoning of the vacant lot across from the Lake Street garage.
Additionally although New Searles is not in my Ward for those of you might know Shay Patineau was a student at Nashua
South. He tragically lost his life in 2020. He was a football player. Among other things, a great teammate of my son and
a lot of other kids on the football team. On May 14th, the New Searles PTO is doing a Color Run to raise funds to install a

And then the last thing | wanted to mention not that | want to wade into the toxic waters of Facebook, but there was some
comments that were made to me that suggested that | have no right to have an opinion on the downtown barrier situation
because they don't exist in Ward 6 and because I'm a renter and not a homeowner in the City of Nashua. So | would just
