Also joining us via Zoom is Mayor Jim Donchus, and with us in person is Corporation Council Steve Bolton.

So I'm going to take a moment to um recognize our colleague, Gloria Timmons, who passed away on Wednesday, October twenty-ninth after our last meeting.

What I'd like to do is have a moment of silence so we can remember Gloria.

But Madam President, I wanted to join you in expressing uh deep regret for the passing of Alder Woman Gloria Tibbins.

She was a close friend to many of us and many, many close friends throughout the national community.

She had served not only on the board of Alderman for nearly four years before her passing, but also had been on the school board for four years.

She wonderful person, very warm and just a big family.

One thing about her that you know I wanted to make the you know she was very modest.

She was a 25-year veteran of the U.S.

Army, and something she didn't really very much, and I a couple of times said to her, you know, especially in terms of her seeking elective office.

I said you should talk about that more.

I mean, people respect that, you know.

This is there aren't many 25-year veterans in Nashua, or some, but you're one of us one of the two, um, which he did a little bit, but uh I know she's going to be missed by many of us, and uh there will be uh calling hours and a funeral later, I think on the 23rd of November, uh and she definitely will be missed, as I've already said.

Um but with that, madam president, I wanted to move on to the election.

I want congratulations to successful in being elected to the Board of Alderman.

Uh it is quite a privilege to serve the city.

Uh certainly it's a situation where you, as a new member of the Board of Alderman, learn a lot about the city.

Many some of your ideas are confirmed, some are not when you get into the details.

Uh, and uh also, though, thank you to everyone who sought election and uh for putting on the line and trying to help our community.

And we do owe a thanks uh for the election to City Clerk Dan Healy and the staff for again doing a great job with it.

Uh also with the for the election workers uh who you know are essentially volunteer because they get us they get a little bit of money, but they they're not doing this for the money.

So we have people working in every war who really who make our look not only our local election and national elections when they come around to uh make them possible.

I wanted also to mention, madam, uh recognition that the city received.

There was a study that was published in the ported there, that Nasha was found uh the best place to move to, the best city to move to in the United States.

Now, of course, we've been fortunate to receive many of these recognitions and honors over the years.

Uh best place to live in America, best run cities, one of the safest cities.

And we owe just a lot of different people for that because the whole community uh gather, and I think we're all very fortunate to be living in Nashua and uh have this as our home.

Um President, I wanted to mention that we have on the agenda the confirmation of Dan Diane Mulholland as the sixth uh treasure tax collector.

Uh she's been interviewed by personnel.
