GOV Board of Aldermen 6 23 2026

The Nashua Board of Aldermen held a regular meeting on June 23, 2026, with extensive discussions focused on the city's fiscal year 2027 budget. Key procurement-related topics included approval of a three-year contract with Wastewater Management of New Hampshire for biosolids management valued at nearly $3.9 million, and the purchase of ADA-accessible buses from Model 1 Commercial Vehicles Incorporated for approximately $857,000 funded through federal grants. The board debated salary adjustments for unaffiliated city employees, including fire department raises, with motions to amend the budget to restore previously cut raises, resulting in an overall budget increase of about $67,615. The meeting also addressed capital improvement projects, notably reallocating over $1.6 million in unexpended bond proceeds for school roof repairs, which was approved despite some concerns about timing and bond interest costs. Additional budget amendments included a $10,083 reduction related to digitizing city clerk records. The board passed the amended budget after multiple motions and roll call votes, reflecting tensions over balancing employee compensation with tax impacts. Other items included lease agreements for community deployment projects and approval of collective bargaining agreements for city employees. The meeting concluded with various community announcements and adjournment.
