Staff says vendor choice is ‘‘up to the council’’; Nikon training set for Dec. 2

An unidentified staff member at the opening of a Glens Falls City Council meeting said the choice of vendor or option “is really up to the council, who you decide to go with,” and noted a training arranged by Nikon on Dec. 2.

The remark came during early procedural remarks at the start of the meeting. The speaker said, “I did have a training scheduled, that I actually just got the flyer for today from Nikon for December 2,” and added later that “there is no and also there is no board restriction.” The transcript does not identify the speaker by name or title beyond the recording label.

The transcript excerpt provided contains no formal motions, votes, or amendments related to the vendor choice. The comments frame the matter as a council-level decision and note a specific training date; the recording does not include further detail on which vendor options are under consideration, which council members will make the decision, or whether the Dec. 2 session is mandatory or informational.

Next steps: based on the remarks in the transcript, the council retains authority to select a vendor and a Nikon training is scheduled for Dec. 2; no formal action on the vendor selection is recorded in the provided segments.
