NASHUA – Board of Public Works Commissioner Tracy Pappas made a motion at the tail end of the board’s meeting Thursday to move its meetings to 5:30 p.m. starting next year.
The response? Crickets.
The motion was never seconded by the board – echoing her similar effort in December that was rejected the same way.
“Frankly, I’m embarrassed,” Pappas told The Telegraph on Friday. “It says we don’t care about the public.”
It’s one of the reasons some officials, including Alderman-at-Large Jim Donchess, believe the only way to budge the meeting from its early-afternoon time slot is to amend the city’s charter.
At 7 p.m. Monday, the aldermen’s Personnel and Administrative Affairs Committee is hosting a public hearing about legislation that would put the Board of Public Works meeting time on the next city ballot.
The commissioners meet the fourth Thursday of the month at Division of Public Works offices at 9 Riverside St.
