Mayor Donchess
I'd be glad to Public Works about this again. We have discussed presenting, again, publicly the snow plowing
plan, as we did at the beginning of this term, but very few members of the public showed up for that. So we’d
been talking doing kind of a video. Now, it doesn’t allow for much input but certainly, you’re right, we should try
to treat all streets — there has to be a plan to maximize efficiency, but we should treat all streets with
importance.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Clemons
Is there a reason it’s going to the Board of Aldermen? Just curious.
Mayor Donchess
Yes. It was over the 10 percent allowable increase for CERF. They’re changing from F-250’s to F-350’s with
the big V plows on them so they’re more expensive. This has been approved by the Board of Public Works.

just walk out of the room.

more homework on it?

The Broad Street Parkway intersection of Elm Street and Central Street has been ruined. Now you have these
two traffic lights and its perpetual gridlock. That poor market there is going to go out of business.

were very close and he liked Siemens because they do their own work and they don’t subcontract. Some of it
had to do with the fact that some of the employees who would be doing the work for Siemens were from
Manchester. He suggested that we should negotiate with both parties to see whether we get price
concessions. Mayor Lozeau, what is your response to what he had to say?
