Finance committee recommends payment of prior pool‑chemical invoices totaling $14,617.95
Summary
The committee recommended approval to pay two prior invoices for pool chemicals totaling $14,617.95, citing invoice delivery delays caused by a pool manager turnover.
The Somerville Finance Committee on Oct. 21 recommended approval to pay two prior invoices for pool chemicals totaling $14,617.95.
Linda Duong of the Parks and Recreation Department explained the invoices covered chlorine and other pool chemicals used at the DeBoy Pool and the Jenny Smithers Pool. The orders were placed in June, but personnel turnover in the pool manager position delayed receipt of the invoices until September, preventing payment in fiscal 2025.
"These are two invoices that are being used for pool chemicals that were mainly chlorine that are used to maintain DeBoy Pool during the summer and also the Jenny Smithers pool," Duong said, explaining the delay stemmed from turnover in the pool manager position.
Committee members raised no substantive objections. The committee laid the item on the table to recommend approval; the clerk read the final motion to recommend approval and the roll call recorded unanimous approval.
Clarifying details: invoices totaled $13,084.20 and $1,533.75; both were for pool chemicals ordered in June but not received until September due to staffing turnover, which pushed payment into the current fiscal period.
