Should Aldermen Convene Ad Hoc Commuter Rail Committee?

The Aldermanic Personnel and Administrative Affairs Committee meets tonight at 7 p.m. in the aldermanic chambers, with an agenda full of interesting items.

We've linked to the proposed legislation and ordinances below so you can get up to speed, should you feel like weighing in:

O-13-42 RELATIVE TO THE ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION OF MATERIALS TO THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN

This is a proposal to go paperless with more of the documentation that is routinely printed for the board of aldermen.

O-13-44 RESTRICT LOCATIONS FOR MID-YEAR TAXICAB INSPECTIONS TABLED IN COMMITTEE

R-13-95 PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CHARTER RELATIVE TO MEETING TIMES OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS

This is to change the meeting time for the Board of Public Works to start no earlier than 6 p.m.

R-13-105 ESTABLISHING A COMMUTER RAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY AD-HOC COMMITTEE

Alderman Dan Moriarty would like to launch an ad-hoc commuter rail study committee consisting of six members (three aldermen) to meet monthly over nine months and explore the feasibility of bringing rail to Nashua and the pros and cons.

On his Facebook over the weekend, Moriarty encouraged citizens on both sides of the issue to come out and speak.

"Yes, at least as I envision it, this ad-hoc committee's function is to provide a balanced view of the pros and cons of commuter rail - in addition to other tasks which we will decide as we go along. We will need motivated volunteers to help," Moriarty wrote.

O-13-39 AMENDING SEWER USE FEES RATES AND CHARGES

O-13-40 CHANGING THE LICENSING PROCESS FOR PARADES AND ROAD RACES ON PUBLIC STREETS
