RE: Right-to-Know Request received December 18, 2020
Dear Ms. Colquhoun,

I believe the legal office should be accommodating to these types of requests because city hall
remains closed (unlike any other city hall in the state), the public cannot access these records at the
counter any longer and Ms. Kleiner's office redesign has made record retrieval difficult. Given
these extraordinary times, the legal office could accommodate this future request, but is choosing
not to. While Mr. Neumann is correct that RSA 91-A does not require the governmental body to

and expected contractor delays has prevented the opening of the office with no reopening date
determined. Additionally, the Mayor has City Hall completely shut down to the public with no
opening date insite.

Posting the applications online would cut the workload for multiple employees of the city. If they
are not easily made publicly available, here is the current process:

Recognition

Honoring the Brave New World Art Project

Whereas The public art project, “Brave New World: Resilience in the time of

collaborative project was created by 80 Nashua students, Rodney Coffin,
art teacher from Nashua North; Robin Peringer, art teacher from Nashua
