Mr. Boucher

Yes, it’s sodium bisulfate that removes the sodium hypochlorite.

Alderman Klee

And the reason you needed this was because — we haven’t had a whole lot of rain or anything else like that.

Alderman Laws

| appreciate your answer and just so you know, | probably said this last year too, but | am looking for a job. So
please keep me in mind. Thank you.

Ms. Chisolm

You’re welcome.

Alderman O’Brien

Mr. Mayor?

Mayor Donchess

Yes, Alderman O’Brien.

One of the other things that we do for Invasive Species Management, if you haven’t read in the packet, is we
also have a bit of an issue on the Nashua River with water chestnuts. So we typically clear those by hand. So |
get some volunteers to come out and help in July and August, if anyone is interested feel free to shoot me an
email and I'll let you in on that fun event. But for now with the milfoil and the curly leaf pond weed we usually
do the spraying of the invasives.

Alderwoman Lu

OK. | misunderstood. So the previous glitch was prior to the increase in use and it was not adequate to serve.
Mr. Miseirvitch

Correct.

Alderwoman Lu

Thank you. | am all set.

Mayor Donchess

Anyone else have any comments or questions? If not, Madam Clerk, could you please call the roll?

A viva voce roll call was taken which resulted as follows:

Mr. Miseirvitch
Absolutely. So we are looking to expand the size of our back up internet line in the event that our primary

internet line goes down. As it sits right now, that existing line will not suffice our requirements due to our ever-
growing needs for the internet. So this upgraded line will handle all of our traffic, in the event that it is needed.

Mayor Donchess

Any discussion, questions from the Committee?
Alderwoman Lu

| do have a question, please.

Mayor Donchess

Finance Committee - 04/07/2021 Page 3

Alderwoman Lu

Alderwoman Kelly

We can now, yes.

Alderwoman Lu

Oh you’re kidding. | was just calling in, yes | am alone and | can hear you.

Alderwoman Kelly

Great, thank you. We have a quorum.

Mayor Donchess

Alright, great. Now the first item on our Agenda is public comment. Is there any member of the public who
would like to speak to the Finance Committee? (There were none.)
