GOV Special Board of Aldermen 7 27 2026

The Nashua Board of Aldermen held a special meeting on July 27, 2026, which included public hearings and discussions primarily focused on budgetary and procurement matters. Key procurement-related topics included a supplemental appropriation of over $1.6 million for various projects, notably the Leed Street playground renovation funded partly by charitable gaming money. The board discussed the possibility of voting on this project separately from the bundled supplemental budget. Additionally, the board reviewed grant-related items such as the extension of performance periods for three Homeland Security Police grants, allowing more time for procurement and implementation without additional funding. The meeting also covered financial details related to FEMA COVID-19 reimbursements and administrative leave costs associated with a federal lead grant. Several motions were passed, including the approval of the Homeland Security grant extension by unanimous roll call vote. The meeting concluded with plans to continue budget discussions in the upcoming budget review committee meeting.
