Saint John council approves emergency Internet repair purchase and $1.85 million accounts payable
Summary
The Town Council approved an emergency purchase of $7,095.62 for Internet repairs between Town Hall and the Public Safety Building and approved an accounts-payable voucher totaling $1,848,825.29.
The Town Council of Saint John on July 23 approved two financial items during its meeting: an emergency purchase request of $7,095.62 to repair Internet service between Town Hall and the Public Safety Building, and an accounts-payable voucher dated July 23, 2025, totaling $1,848,825.29 covering payroll, supplies, services and equipment.
Clerk-Treasurer Beth Hernandez described the $7,095.62 request as payment for emergency Internet repairs linking Town Hall and the Public Safety Building. The council approved the purchase by voice vote 5-0 after a motion and second. The council then considered the accounts-payable voucher representing regular payments for town operations and approved that voucher by the same margin.
The meeting record does not include vendor names for the Internet repair or line-item detail for the accounts-payable voucher beyond the total amount and a general description (payroll, supplies, services and equipment). No council discussion on alternatives, contract terms, or contingency funds was recorded during the items presented.
