No. If the City was to terminate the contract the payments end. The reason that we say not to exceed $124 is
we figured on a year if he was to last a year, that’s how much the weekly payments would turn out to be.

Alderwoman Lu

I’m sorry, | didn’t completely read the contract. How is the fee determined, is it an hourly rate, is ita weekly
rate?

Director Kleiner
It’s a weekly rate.

That it would; all of our staff would have their work, their valuations reviewed by and signed off by Mr. Norman
before brought forth to the Board of Assessors.

Mayor Donchess

And one question that we received was given that he, Mr. Norman, works for the Town of Windham, does he
have time and will he be able to provide the necessary services to the City of Nashua given his affiliation with
Windham.

It really is the history of the property from beginning until now where the property record card is just that
snapshot, right, that’s showing you what is with the property now other than the portion of the card that will
have the history of the assessment. And even that is generally 7 to 8 years, it is not the entire list of the
assessment on the property record card. So we try to think of the card as a snapshot in time and the file as the
history.

And we felt that although it was a worthy project, we were in the middle of the testing for the AP5 upgrade and
we were just beginning the Full Measure & List Revaluation and we did not feel it was a project that we could
take on at that time. We set it aside and then COVID happens.

Mayor Donchess

Any comments or questions? Alderwoman Klee?
Alderman Klee

Thank you. Mr. Boucher this is just for the wastewater, this is not for any of that combined sewer is that
correct, because we wouldn’t be able to get to that?

Mr. Boucher

That is correct; this chemical is only used at the wastewater plant and it is just added to the water just before it
gets discharged to the river.

Alderman Klee

OK, thank you very much.

Mr. Boucher

You’re welcome.
