AUTHORIZING A MODEL OFFICE LEASE FOR THE HUNT MEMORIAL BUILDING AND THE
HUNT MEMORIAL BUILDING BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO LEASE OFFICE SPACE USING THE
MODEL LEASE WITHOUT FURTHER APPROVAL OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN FOR FIVE
YEARS
MOTION BY ALDERMAN SIEGEL TO RECOMMEND FINAL PASSAGE
MOTION CARRIED
ON THE QUESTION
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
R-14-086 is in reference to the model lease agreement that the Hunt Memorial Building Trustees have
been using to rent office space. They have been bringing each lease into Finance for approval and what
they are requesting is that they be able to just be able to move forward with the lease that they have been
using and sign those rather than waiting for approval from the Finance Committee. The reason they are
asking for this legislation is because they lost a tenant this summer because they couldn’t move quickly
enough. The tenant had to move quickly and they couldn’t response quickly enough to lease the space. I
would just also refer to the information I put on your desk and the original legislation talks about the lease
coming back every five years; that they will use the model lease without further approval for five years from
the passing of the resolution. In conversation with the Hunt Board of Trustees, they agreed that they would
bring the lease forward annually for you to approve. This gives you the opportunity to see it annually and it
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 2
also gives them the opportunity to truly sit down and review it and see if there’s anything they desire to
change. That’s the one change that’s been added to this.
Alderman Siegel
Will there be a motion to amend in committee?
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
Yes.
Alderman Deane
The sponsor has the authority to amend if she chooses to do so.
MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN MELIZZI-GOLJA TO AMEND R-14-086 TO READ “RESOLVED
FURTHER, LEASES, ONCE APPROVED BY THE TRUSTEES, WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE FINANCE
COMMITTEE AS A COMMUNICATION AT THE MEETING IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE LEASE
SIGNING”
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Deane
I think what would really work good just for the record is have them sent to us in memo form, that way they
are made as part of the record.
Mayor Lozeau
So as a communication, not as something to be approved?
Alderman Deane
Yes. I did speak with Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja about this and we are trying to get the Hunt Building to
financially satisfy itself and its costs with the lease agreements and I’d rather not be a hindrance of losing a
potential lease to help fund the maintenance and operations of the facility. I think we can put a little faith in
the trustees. We have a boiler plate contract and we can review once per year. I don’t want to get into
percentages of change in the contract but I think we have to give them a little leeway to work to get these
empty units filled so I think it benefits everyone.
Alderman Donchess
How many leases have come to us under the current system and how many discrete spaces in the Hunt
Building to lease and are there any unleased spaces presently?
Mayor Lozeau
There are six office spaces; four of which are leased. All of those leases have come before the Finance
Committee. There was an additional two leases that had been leased but not renewed that also came to
the Finance Committee.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
There was also one that was lost this summer because of timing.
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 3
Alderman Siegel
As clerk, I have in front of me the copy which was amended and I’ve written down the suggested
amendment. Can I read the changes? Following the first paragraph, there are two asterisks and in that it
says “Resolved further, that the Hunt Memorial Building Board of Trustees will annually provide the Board
of Aldermen a model lease for their approval. The approved model will be used for all leases during the
next 1-year timeframe.”
“Resolved further, that the Hunt Memorial Building Board of Trustees are authorized to use the annually
approved model lease to enter into leases for Hunt Memorial Building office space without further approval
of the Board of Aldermen.”
“Resolved further, leases, once approved by the trustees, will be provided to the Finance Committee as a
communication at the meeting immediately following the lease signing.”
Alderman Deane
Do we still need to bring in a piece of legislation after the fact for the lease agreement approval or does this
forego the legislative process altogether?
Mayor Lozeau
I think other than the annually approved model lease which would have to come in for the approval, we are
foregoing it.
Alderman Deane
Each lease that we have approved has been done legislatively and then referred to the Finance Committee
and then back to the full Board for final approval.
Mayor Lozeau
Right.
Alderman Deane
So basically what we are doing is the Finance Committee is taking the full Board out of the equation then.
Mayor Lozeau
With the exception of the annually approved renewal.
Alderman Deane
Since no one rules us and we approve the lease agreements I guess, I am looking at it from a legal
standpoint.
Alderman Donchess
I think the way it is written now, neither the Board of Aldermen nor the Finance Committee would be
approving any specific lease; we would just be told of that so that would take both of those entities out of
the process but legislatively the Board of Aldermen would approve the model lease once a year.
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 4
Mayor Lozeau
That process still has that legislative piece to it so every year you will get that annual lease and the trustees
will tell you if they would like a change or you would talk to them and then we will no longer say its okay for
“Joe’s Donuts” to rent an office; the trustees will manage that. That’s in essence what we are doing.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
I discussed with the trustees, if for some reason, there was a tenant who needed something modified in
this model lease; I was very clear with them and they were very clear that they would no longer be using
this model lease and that would definitely have to come to you for approval because it would be outside of
the model lease. The model lease has been the template and they have been plugging numbers in.
Mayor Lozeau
We have consistently used the same one.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
Right.
Alderman Donchess
The most critical aspect of any lease is the amount of the rent and since we are dealing with six discrete
spaces, which might have advantages and disadvantages, are we saying that there would be a given per
square foot rental fee for all six spaces or would the trustees have the right to decide how much a specific
tenant was going to pay?
Mayor Lozeau
The formula is the same for all of the units. It’s based on square footage, it’s a flat fee per square foot and
that’s in the lease.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
That all came before the Finance Committee and the full Board when the Hunt started renting office space.
They are also clear that any changes in that needs to come back here.
Mayor Lozeau
It’s also in the legislation in the fiscal note that Alderman Siegel and I were just discussing.
Alderman Donchess
I would offer this. Since we have been into this for about two years, if there are two spaces still unrented,
doesn’t that say that our rent is too high? If we can’t find a tenant after two years, the rent is too much so
the rent should be reduced.
Mayor Lozeau
Actually, we had five offices that were leased and there’s only one that has not been leased. It’s just a kind
of awkward space. I don’t think the issue is money. When they advertise the space they don’t necessarily
advertise it as this space is for lease at this price, they advertise the Hunt Building. I think what
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja is saying is if someone comes in and makes a case for I’d like this space but not
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 5
at $14.00 then that would be a lease that would come back here if the trustees wanted to negotiate a
different price.
Alderman Siegel
I want to read the last paragraph again just to be clear. “Resolved further, leases, once approved by the
trustees, will be provided to the Finance Committee as a communication at the meeting immediately
following the lease signing.”

ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Lozeau
Ms. Hoye, if you wouldn’t mind walking us through the proposal. At our last meeting it was tabled because
there were questions on the return on investment that the committee was concerned about.
Ms. Meaghan Hoye, President, LighTec, Inc.
The Mayor presented at the last meeting a project that has two components and in the table it is presented
as one. The first component is part of the turnkey program which is a PSNH program that provided 50%
incentives if meets certain cost benefit requirements. The second part of the project is really a capital
improvement. That’s the section that is described as a prescriptive. The reason we broke it out is because
of the fire stations and the bay areas are really under lit so to bring it up to the Illuminating Engineer
Society recommended light levels, we are putting in a different style fixture that is going to – first of all we
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 6
are going to take out the existing fixtures and redesign a layout with the new LED fixtures that will have a
longer life which addresses maintenance concerns expressed by the department and brings them up to
where they need to be to perform the work they need to do in those spaces. That’s it in a nutshell.
Alderman Deane
I’m looking at the East Hollis Street fire house with a 235.2 year payback.
Ms. Hoye
Yes, because what we are doing, we are adding more light and more watts. It’s not an energy savings
project and that payback is really a capital improvement; it’s a nonsense kind of number. You have no light
now and we are going to make it so you can see. It’s similar to the garages where there is not enough
light. We are putting money back in. That payback really; those numbers are more important to the utility
to determine what kind of incentive they can give than it is when you are thinking about a capital
improvement.
Alderman Deane
So if there is no light there…
Ms. Hoye
There is lighting there but there is very little light getting out where it needs to be in the space.
Alderman Deane
How is that determination made?
Ms. Deb Kravitz, Sr. Project Manager, LighTech, Inc.
I went out to all seven fire stations last week and I took light level measurements and the one specifically
that you are talking about, the East Hollis Street fire house, in the upper bay there is an average of 13.6
foot candles for their working space. That’s how we measure light levels. I went to several different points
throughout each bay. The recommended is 40 for turnout areas.
Alderman Deane
Was there a vehicle parked in that spot? That station has empty bays. Were these empty bays?
Ms. Kravitz
There were both empty bays and there were a couple of vehicles parked in there.
Alderman Deane
They weren’t fire trucks were they?
Ms. Kravitz
Not at the time because they were out doing scuba training.
Alderman Deane
But is there normally fire trucks parked in these bays?
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 7
Ms. Kravitz
Yes.
Alderman Deane
What were the assumptions used to figure out that the foot candles had to be increased? How was that
calculated? What are they doing there that requires the foot candles to be increased?
Ms. Kravitz
When we look at the recommended light levels of the Illuminating Engineering Society they have a table
and tells you that in fire stations where they are doing their turnout and their gear and they are trying to get
ready to go to a fire, the recommended light level is 40 foot candles.
Ms. Hoye
The Illuminating Engineering Society is the body that – it’s the lighting snobs of the world. There is 10 lb.
book listing its best practice for lighting.
Alderman Deane
So basically what you are doing is that you are taking what this skull & bones lighting society has to offer
and that’s what you were using for the data required for the standards of foot candles in certain areas?
Ms. Kravitz
Correct.
Alderman Deane
And you found this to be deficient in that area?
Ms. Kravitz
Yes, in the upper bays it’s 13.6 foot candles and in the lower bay, which is used less, it’s only 12.3 on
average.
Alderman Deane
We didn’t build that fire house that long ago. It kind of surprises me that some of this data wasn’t used to
provide sufficient lighting while the construction was being done. It makes me wonder with all of the work
we are doing in our schools what they are doing to measure foot candles there.
Ms. Hoye
They should have taken a before and after.
Ms. Kravitz
I know that when I was a project manager when the Nashua Schools had all of their gymnasiums done and
I did measure the foot candles prior to and after to make sure the light levels were adequate per the
standard.
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 8
Alderman Siegel
I understand what the book says but was there anything that the fire department specifically said was a
deficiency or was this something that you investigated and said okay, well the book says there should be
40 foot candles and there happens to be 16.
Ms. Kravitz
When I was taking light level measurements, I know that I had discussed that I had several different
stations, in particular was the maintenance bays; they weren’t there when I went back last week to do the
foot candle measurements, however they did discuss with me that the light levels were atrocious and they
were always having to use flashlights or supplemental lighting to just do their job.
Mayor Lozeau
When Assistant Chief Galipeau first approached me a couple of years ago to talk about the lighting that
was one of the concerns that he raised.
Alderman Siegel
I’ve heard all I needed to hear. The second that you said doing maintenance without proper lighting for life
safety equipment; I just wish the column wasn’t there with payback because payback is not even relevant
in that particular case.
Alderman Deane
I’m a little disappointed in Harvey.
Mayor Lozeau
What year was the fire house built, was it 2005?
Alderman Deane
It was something like that. I was on the building committee. It would seem to me that when the architects
came in and they did all the design that they would have put adequate lighting in. It’s not like we took
fixtures out to meet a cost. We had quite a bit of cost avoidance but we shrunk the station down. Did you
go in the storage underneath at all?
Ms. Kravitz
What I refer to as the lower bays, those are much more active than I originally thought. They do use those.
Alderman Deane
They store a lot of things in there.
Ms. Kravitz
They store equipment. The lighting measurement there is 12.3 foot candles and whereas that is not the
first place that they go get to a fire that’s going to be their secondary equipment, their lighting levels won’t
be increased as much as the other active bays where they actually get ready to go out to the fires as
opposed to coming back and cleaning their equipment and making sure it is serviceable.
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 9
Alderman Deane
Some of our older firehouses I can see having inadequate lighting, especially Amherst Street but East
Hollis Street is not that old.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Moriarty
This and the next one I was noticing that we’ve been buying a lot of gigantic trucks lately and I presume the
Department of Public Works has seen all of this and there’s some sort of schedule but I wonder if you could
quickly summarize how many trucks there are and why does the Parks & Recreation Department need a
$110,000 truck?
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 10
Mayor Lozeau
It’s replacing a similar vehicle. This one is actually a little bit more versatile and ten years ago we did an
assessment and purged all of the vehicles that we thought we didn’t need any more and changed some out
as well as taking some off of the list. Our CERF schedule has all of the vehicles that are scheduled to be
purchased over the next 10 – 15 years and we are following that schedule. Trucks meet their age and we
replace them. Some time ago there were a lot of vehicles that we were behind on that didn’t stay on the
replacement schedule and since then we have updated the schedule and we budget accordingly so that we
can make these planned purchases. The dump trucks that are coming right behind replace others which
will come in the spring. This truck we are pleased that it is actually on the lot and we can have it for this
winter season. This truck is sized in a way that it is very helpful on the tree streets and some of the school
areas.
Alderman Deane
It’s an ugly truck.

Alderman Donchess
How many 6-wheel dump trucks does this city have?
Mayor Lozeau
At least 12 if not…
Alderman Deane
Nashua?
Mayor Lozeau
We have 2 10-wheelers; the 6-wheel dumps…
Alderman Deane
I’d say we have somewhere around 30 trucks.
Mayor Lozeau
6-wheel dumps?
Alderman Deane
Yes, between the streets and park. The park department has 4 of them right?
Mayor Lozeau
Yes. I’m looking right now on the CERF schedule. We primarily do most of our work with the 6-wheel
dumps.
Alderman Donchess
What is the average life of a 6-wheel dump truck?
Mayor Lozeau
It’s not just mileage; it’s also hours of use.
Alderman Donchess
But typically how many years do these things last?
Mayor Lozeau
If you look on the next sheet of what we are replacing I would say some are 8 years, and some are 10
years. Last year we replaced one that was even older.
Alderman Deane
Two of these trucks are 01’s and another two are 99’s; one is a 98’.

So these are about 15 years old?

Mayor Lozeau
As we have been discussing at the last quite a few Finance Committee meetings, we are updating and

Alderman Chasse
Do we have any back-up on the shelf?
Mayor Lozeau
No, Alderman Deane, do you recall?
Alderman Deane
I believe what is happening now is while Weston & Sampson is in there, I think Director Fauteux has asked
for a total inventory of what exists, what is junk, and what should be placed on the shelf for redundancy to
be formulated. She wants to start stocking items. Some of these pumps are rather large but some of them
are small but they are going to go through and look at the stock and parts for rebuilds and that’s a step in
the right direction for sure.
Mayor Lozeau
That’s correct about the inventory, yes.
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 13
Alderman Donchess
I believe the city response to DES regarding the questions that DES asked was circulated and went in 10
days ago or so. When do we expect a response back from DES clearing the situation or making further
comments?
Mayor Lozeau
Sometimes we see a quick turn-around. When you look at the findings that there were, none of them were
critical that we would be fined but they were things and many of them were things because of systems like
this being down. As you saw we responded to them. We could get a 10-day turn-around or a 30-day. I
think it was important from their perspective was to see that we were managing it. We have had
conversations with them to let them know that some of things, as Alderman Deane has pointed out, what
we are doing with Weston & Sampson and inventory. I think we are in pretty good shape with them right
now. I think they are waiting to see if we follow through on the commitments that we are making.
Alderman Donchess
I forget who circulated it but when the DES response comes would you make sure that it gets circulated
again?
Mayor Lozeau
Certainly. We have been sending the committee that’s been working all of the information as we move
forward. You made a specific request that it be shared so we included you so I’d be happy to do that and
for anyone that is interested.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Deane
At the last public works meeting we had discussion about a lot of these pumps and it was my
understanding when we left there was that the director is going to bring someone in to install some of
these. Some of these pumps are huge.
Mayor Lozeau
That’s correct.
Alderman Deane
So it’s not going to be handled by staff and I don’t think it should be personally but I don’t make those calls.
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 14
Alderman Siegel
Actually, carrying on with Alderman Deane’s thought, does this include the cost of installation? I don’t
recall that and I definitely agree with Alderman Deane, there is a lot of work to be done down there and
there’s too many things going on at once and it would be nice to have someone else from the outside to
install this stuff.
Mayor Lozeau
I believe the way that we left it was that some of the smaller items that we thought the staff could install,
they would install and only if the staff could install them in the timeline that we wanted it turned around in.
There are line items in there budget that cover the cost of installation of things. Some of the bigger pumps
have the installation in because we knew going into it that they would not be installing it so that would cover
that.

When you read through this the normal daily operations of standard flow, only one of these pumps runs
and then as the flow picks up in order to move it then they’ll start ramping in. I don’t know if we talked
about how these were phased in and I wonder if they could do that. Instead of having one running all of
the time, have pump 4 run week and then pump 1 the next and then just rotate them so that they wear
evenly.
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 15
Mayor Lozeau
You raised that issue, Alderman Deane and the director brought it to Weston & Sampson to ask them to
take a look and make sure that in those places where we should do that kind of thing that they make those
recommendations.
Alderman Deane
You probably only max have 3 pumps running at the same time. This is where redundancy is of the utmost
importance because if these pumps don’t run, that plant doesn’t work and I wouldn’t want to have your
phone number, Mayor.

ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Lozeau
As you can see in this memo, the issue is that we need to get the boilers replaced and operational. We are
already a bit concerned about winter approaching and how quickly that can happen. We are looking at a
five week turn around on receiving the boilers and we are working with the company that is going to install
them we hope and all of the work that surrounds that is laid out here in this memo. I wanted the committee
to be aware that there’s the possibility that when we get that information that we are waiting on from the
company to do the installation, I may have to authorize it through an emergency approval in order for them
to get started on the work so that everything is ready when the boilers arrive.
Alderman Deane
It’s not that you may have to I think you have to because there’s no heat in the main part of the plant.
Through our discussions about all of this the plan was to get a company that’s been well vetted and…I
mean you are dealing with huge pieces of equipment. The boiler comes in section and they put it together
in the basement but we have to take the old one out. I think we had discussed going through the plant and
replace 72 – 80 steam traps and pressure test all of the coils in the whole building while we are waiting for
the boilers to be built, shipped, and delivered. That way that work will be all done and hopefully the old
boilers will be out and we can rig the new boilers in and tie them all in. We will need an analysis done on
the water, a system has to be designed, and have a contractor come in and set the water treatment for the
boilers because that’s one of the downfalls of these boilers here. We got 5 or 6 different bids on the
existing boilers that were in there and they were kind of all over the chart but there was one company that
wanted to come in and dismantle the boilers and dye test them to see if the sections didn’t have any voids
or cracks or whatever and if they did find that problem they wanted to go over to the boiler next it which is
basically part of the redundancy but it does pick up the BTU load because you are looking at about 7.5
million BTU’s that these two boilers put out. They take pieces from the other one and bring it over and
make one boiler out of it which to me if you are going to start tearing boilers apart, you might as well keep
going and carry them out the door. The other problem is was a breaching which is the exhaust lines. With
the age of the boilers in the $41,000 to $42,000 cost that we got for the breaching replacement, it made
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 17
absolutely no sense to do that because these boilers were not going to last much longer anyways.
Common sense prevailed and the general consensus was that it made sense to replace the boilers; it
meant sense to put valves in to isolate the boilers so that we can take one boiler off-line to do preventative
maintenance or repairs to it and still retain heat in the building. My understanding was that the other boiler
would fire but it the conditions would have to be warranted outside, it would have to be brutally cold out to
have both of those boilers running. I did speak with an individual who had done a lot of work down there
and I did speak with the Independent Pipe people and these are probably the best boilers on the market.
They fit where we need them to go, they meet the BTU requirements, they are a top line boiler, and I am
sure the new water treatment system that’s going to be installed we should get 35 years out of these
boilers. The one thing that struck me in speaking to one of the mechanics down there was if you look at
what we have and what we are talking about doing, we are all going to dead and gone and somebody is
going to ask why didn’t they just replace these? We got a price on these boilers and then the Director of
Public Works asked Independent to sharpen their pencil and they did and she got the price down from its
initial cost down by $16,462.52 which is outstanding cost avoidance. She should be commended for that.
Alderman Donchess
Once these boilers are purchased, what do you think it will cost for installation?
Alderman Deane
I have no idea. I know the company that the director is dealing with, I’m not; does a lot of work in our
school district so a little bell went off in my head. I know how they are over there and they are well vetted.
The last I’ve heard from the Mayor is that she is waiting on a cost. The problem is that time is of the
essence. There’s catastrophic failure and it doesn’t make sense to wait. She’s waiting on CMD Boiler
Works to give her a price. It’s not going to be cheap. The total dissolved solids that they were finding in
the untreated water created a lot of havoc in the building so we have to go through it. When we talked to
the mechanic he said he had been rebuilding those traps and he said that you just can’t rebuild them
anymore. We decided to pressure test all of the coils and then replace the traps and start new. The
process seems kind of long but hopefully we’ll be able to get them in there to do that work while we are
waiting for the boilers to be delivered. She’ll have the cost. I look at this; I look at the $110,000 plus
thousand she reduced on the compactor so I have a little faith that she’ll be having some stern discussions
with these folks as well. We also looked at Dillon Boiler Works.
Mayor Lozeau
They are finishing a job at Elm Street School which is why they couldn’t turn around the estimate but they
know the circumstances that we are in and they weighed in about what they thought about the boiler
product.
Alderman Deane
They were happy with the boilers that we got and happy with how they fit and the ratings. The boilers
work, they will fit, and they have the BTU rating.
Alderman Siegel
The one thing that I haven’t seen come up is the water treatment piece because without the water
treatment system, the ion exchanger, and also, an on-going contract to maintain the ion exchanger, we are
going to get into a situation where our boilers are screwed up again.
Mayor Lozeau
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 18
As you see in the memo, we do talk about water treatment being one of the other things. I know you just
got it this evening but it says that it’s in the list of replacement of steam traps and water treatment and
Alderman Deane has provided us with two companies that do that kind of work that we have reached out to
and we are going to follow through on that.
Alderman Deane
Yes, that’s not an "it’s nice to have; it’s a must have." You have to get the total dissolved solids out of that
water before you put in those boilers. That’s what kills black iron pipe.

DISCUSSION
Alderman Chasse
I did my patriotic duty yesterday. I showed my I.D. and the woman asked me about the ballot. That ballot
was written up in such a tedious way that people were coming out of there and saying “I don’t know how to
vote on it.” There was nothing that said a “yes” or a “no” and I understand and I explained to her what it
was and she said that people were asking her all day and she really didn’t know how to explain it. I went in
there and voted and when I came outside there happened to be an English teacher that’s out there with a
picket sign. She said who the heck wrote that thing up because it was so unclear and that the typical blue
collar person, it was a very difficult article to read. There could have been something on the bottom that
said a “yes” changes the Spending Cap and a “no” keeps the Spending Cap the same; something simple
and easy for people to understand. I know it passed by 20 votes and there’s not much anyone can do now
but to me it was very difficult for an individual to understand it.
Mayor Lozeau
I know that there are state laws and local ordinances that dictate how things are written and the best
person to ask your question to is the City Clerk.
Alderman Donchess
I would like to thank everyone who voted but beyond that, Ward 3; I don’t think the new polling place is
working very well. The parking lot is hard to get into and it’s very crowded. The area where people vote is
pretty small. As you come out there is a step down where people could fall. In a presidential election I
think things would be more difficult there because there would be a lot more voters and so at least the
opinion of the people that I talked to at Ward 3 was that this alternative is not really one we should pursue
in the long term.
Mayor Lozeau
I understand that the City Clerk is aware of that. As you know, one of the challenges is that some of the
schools cannot be used in a manner that prevents voters from mixing with the students which raise
concerns with the school district and the parents. That’s what the City Clerk is trying to overcome and I
think we would agree that there’s more work that needs to be done. I think he did the best he could in the
time that he had.
Alderman Donchess
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 19
I am not criticizing anything that has been done so far but now that we are trying it. I mean there was no
school yesterday so there could have been but I understand because there was school on primary day,
they wanted to have the same polling place for both. Maybe the answer is just not to have school on either
primary or general election voting day and that way we could use the schools without having that problem.
Mayor Lozeau
When I started here in this job I talked to the superintendent because there was some problems with some
of the schools back then. It used to be that the schools were only closed on presidential election days and
we got them to close them on the general election days. We didn’t ask for the primary so I think that is a
conversation in play as well.
Alderman Moriarty
It’s ironic, I brought this issue up when we originally voted on it and I felt like I was chased out of the room
by spears; dare I question the concept of moving the location before we a lot of discussion about it. Do we
know the status of the recount and the status of the information that many few, if none, of our oversea
veterans that filed absentee ballots did not get the Charter amendment sheet?
Mayor Lozeau
I think the City Clerk would be best to answer that. As you are well aware, the City filed with the court and
went through how that would play out. Some of it was the length of the question and what fit on the ballot
and what didn’t. I’m not aware of how many didn’t get it. I know that there was a second mailing that went
out but again, I think it’s probably best for the City Clerk to respond to that.
Alderman Moriarty
Is this another….I follow the saga in the newspaper, it was State vs. City.
Mayor Lozeau
There is a piece of that that plays into this. I’ve asked the City Clerk to put together a memo to be able to
update the Board on what took place, what was done, where we are now, and where we go from here.
Alderman Moriarty
Part of my worry is that…
Mayor Lozeau
I think today would be a bad day for him to be working on it. I think he has his hands full.
Alderman Moriarty
Part of my worry is the deadline, I think the deadline is Friday and if we don’t know whose jurisdiction it is,
you have to file with the state and the state says not our problem.
Mayor Lozeau
Do you mean for the recount?
Alderman Moriarty
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 20
Yes.
Mayor Lozeau
I am going to go out on a limb here and say that it’s the city that manages the recount. I’ve not had a
chance to follow-up with the clerk and the legal department based on that discussion with the Secretary of
State but I think that’s likely what is going to happen. I could be wrong but I think so.
Alderman Moriarty
Okay.
Alderman Donchess
Is there definitely going to be a recount?
Mayor Lozeau
My understanding is that a request has been made and it’s been made both to the state and to the city so
that way, both bases are covered.
Alderman Donchess
Is it of the ballot question?
Mayor Lozeau
It is.
Alderman Donchess
Is there anything else?
Mayor Lozeau
Not that I am aware of. I think there might be some election ones but I don’t usually get a call, I am just
aware of this one.
Alderman Deane
I agree with Alderman Donchess about the Ward 3 polling place, it is way too small. The City Clerk and
everyone did a great job yesterday. It is my understanding that the charter amendment picked another 45
votes. A lot of those ballots that we got, as they went in, the machine was eating them and then there were
about 3,000 that didn’t get counted; there was no vote marked on it. There could have been an “X” or an
“O” or a circle that the machine did not pick up. It’s my understanding that we end up overseeing the
recount, right, if it’s done locally?
Mayor Lozeau
That’s right.
Alderman Deane
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 21
That ought to be a fun night.
Mayor Lozeau
I would agree that the City Clerk did a really great job. The turn-out was higher than a lot of people
expected. There were an unusually high number of new poll workers. The clerk was managing a lot of
fires yesterday, it was not easy, and I think he agrees that the Ward 3 location is not…he talked to me after
the primary about it and I think that he did the best that he could in the time that he had. As Alderman
Donchess pointed out, you don’t want to move it from the primary to the general because then people are
really lost. One of the things that we did do this year that I am looking forward to find out how well it was
used, for the first time we had bus routes for all of the voting places. I think it was a great opportunity
particularly for people; Birch Hill is a hard school to find in Ward 1. When I have more information, I will be
sure that the City Clerk shares it.
Alderwoman Brown
Can you tell us who requested the recount?
Mayor Lozeau
I believe it was Mr. Teeboom and I think I would have been surprised if he didn’t with a 20 vote margin.
Alderman Moriarty
I was in Manchester last night and I was talking to a lot of people that were not from Nashua that worked as
poll checkers in Nashua and there were a couple of people that made the comment that they were impressed
with how well the moderator’s ran a tight ship and I made a point that a lot of that style, you have no idea if the
person is a republican or a democrat comes from Bergeron.
Mayor Lozeau
He does a few trainings, he really works at it.
Alderman Donchess
One of the wards has pointed out that they are having trouble getting poll workers because it’s a very difficult
job and it doesn’t pay very much. The suggestion was that unlike State Rep, where you can either pay $2.00
and qualify to run or get signatures, for the poll workers, you need to get 15 signatures and some people who
would like to work in the polls don’t feel like they really want to go around the neighborhood having to get
signatures and so this discourages them from paying the $2.00 and being a poll worker. Along those lines, I
have communicated with the City Clerk about the possibility – but to make the change, according to the City
Clerk requires a charter change. To me it’s worth making the change just because it’s so hard to get these
people to work the polls. Why should it be more difficult to sign up to be a poll worker than to run for State
Rep? I have proposed a change that the poll worker can either pay the $2.00 and become a candidate for that
office or, if they wish, to save the $2.00 and go out and get the 15 signatures. I think changing the system
making it consistent with the state rep system would encourage more people to sign up then it’s worth making
that charter change.
Mayor Lozeau
Does the 15 signatures have to come from the ward they want to be a poll worker in?
Alderman Donchess
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 22
I think so.
Mayor Lozeau
That’s unfortunate because otherwise you could just have a night of coffee with the aldermen and all 15 of you
could sign anybody that’s willing to work.
Alderman Donchess
Most of these offices go uncontested. You’ve just got to find someone to put their name up.
Mayor Lozeau
What I find is a lot of people think that “selectmen” mean I am a selectmen like in Merrimack. They don’t
understand. That term is somewhat foreign.
Alderman Deane
They don’t know that they are stuck in a gymnasium for 16 hours.
Mayor Lozeau
I think people don’t know what a selectmen is.
Alderman Moriarty
If anyone wants to run for selectmen or clerk and they have a hard time getting signatures, call me up and I’ll
get them for you.
Alderman Deane
I’m sure your phone is going to be ringing off the hook.
Alderman Moriarty
891-1020
Alderwoman Brown
Even though a state rep only pays $2, the fact that they are elected; it takes several hundred people that would
more or less approve that they be elected whereas in a way of having 15 signatures I think should be less. Still
you want someone that is of sound, moral character.
Alderman Donchess
Even for these offices there is still an election. Theoretically sometimes there’s a contest. You get in without
contest only if enough candidates don’t sign up. You could have six candidates for three. You could have a
primary. In the general election, you could have multiple candidates. I thought I’d throw it out to see if there’s
a lot of disagreement. If there’s not maybe I’ll propose it. If theirs is, maybe I won’t.

Alderman Siegel
I’d like to thank Mr. Griffin who got back to me on some questions I had. There was an item in the general
fund expense, $12,000 to purchase power, which as I understand it was to replenish stamps. Is that
correct? Isn’t that something that should be before the Finance Committee? I understand that we don’t
really have a lot of vendors for stamps. It exceeds the threshold for Finance Committee.
Alderman Deane
It certainly does.
Mayor Lozeau
I can’t argue with that. I don’t’ know how they purchased stamps before. Maybe they don’t’ usually hit
$12,000.
Mr. Griffin
It’s loading the machine.
Mayor Lozeau
It’s just loading the stamp machine.
Alderman Siegel
And it was loaded for more than $9,999.99, right?
Mayor Lozeau
I don’t disagree; I can argue that conclusion.
Alderman Siegel
I think we all know what stamps do, but that’s the way the City Charter reads.
Mayor Lozeau
I agree.
Alderman Siegel
There was a lot of wage assignments, and Mr. Griffin explained them to me. As wage assignments, they
look like the city was paying out. Your explanation was for something that we were garnishing wages.
Shouldn’t they be wages coming back or am I just not knowing how that is.
Mr. Griffin
This is a particular case where the federal government or some court order is basically writing to us and
saying you must reduce the individual’s take home pay and send a check or a payment to either the
spouse who owed child support or alimony, tax levy, a whole bunch of things. Instead of calling those out
either in name or IRS or whatever, “wage assignment” is what we came up with for a name.
Alderman Siegel
Finance – 11/05/14 Page 24
If I might make a suggestion. I perfectly understand the desire for someone's anonymity because that’s
just not fair to people, but if you could call is something other than “wage assignment” which I think is
associated with something else also. They are just very, very different things. To me it would be helpful.
Alderman Chasse
Garnishments is the word.
Alderman Moriarty
It’s the technical legal term, “immediate income assignment” is proper. It’s the correct term.
Mayor Lozeau
The one that we use is the correct term. I think the point Alderman Siegel is making is that many people
understand garnishment meaning that even though we’re assigning their wages, if you look at it and saw it
was a garnishment you would know that it was for that purpose. I leave that up to the finance department
to meet the auditors’ standard.
Alderman Siegel
I don’t disagree with Alderman Moriarty. All I care is make sure there’s some terminology so I can
differentiate between the money flow since that’s what this is all about, just looking at the way the money is
flowing.

TO: MAYOR LOZEAU
FINANCE COMMITTEE
SUBJECT: WASTEWATER - BOILER REPLACEMENT (VALUE: $55.494)
DEPARTMENT: 169 WASTEWATER; FUND: WASTEWATER;
ACCOUNT CLASSIFICATION: 81 CAPITAL OUTLAY/IMPROVEMENTS
The boilers in the main building at the Wastewater Treatment Plant are currently not operational. The
boilers were installed in 1996 and have an inconclusive maintenance history. A team was formed to
evaluate the boilers and decide whether the breeching and boilers needed to be replaced. The team
consisted of the Director of Public Works. Plant Operations Supervisor, a Wastewater Mechanic. Mayor,
and the President of the Board of Aldermen, information was solicited from five companies to assist in
determining the final disposition of the boilers.
The breeching alone would cost 40K to replace. Due to the age, uncertain maintenance history and
likelihood of the breeching being compromised, it is the recommendation of the team to replace the
bailers. The two McDonnell & Miller boilers were chosen due to their efficiency and ability to meet the
specifications necessary to replace the existing boilers. Independent Pipe and Supply Corp. is the local
representative for the McDonnell & MiDer boilers and estimated delivery is 5 weeks from the date the PO
is issued.
In addition, the Director of Pubiic Works has solicited a quote for the installation of the breeching, boilers,
condensate pumps, replacement of steam traps and water treatment All traps and coils throughout the
conditioned space will be examined. The boilers will be isolated from one another to allow service and
maintenance to occur while one boiler maintains operations. The plan is to perform as much of the work
as passible prior to receipt of the boilers. An update will be provided at the next Finance Committee
Meeting.
The Director of Public Works, Wastewater Plant Operations Supervisor, and the Purchasing Department
respectfully request your approval to purchase this equipment in the amount of $55,494 from
Independent Pipe and Supply Corp,, Canton, MA.
