Council to consider higher procurement threshold; seeks snow-removal, sweeper and sidewalk quotes
Summary
Attorney Ryan recommended raising the Town procurement threshold above $10,000; the Council asked her to draft an ordinance. Administrator Braband will request a renewal quote from PE Moore for snow removal and obtain street-sweeper pricing; the Council also asked staff to revisit a sidewalk along Route 565.
Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan told the Council that the $10,000 procurement threshold forces RFPs for many purchases and recommended the Council consider raising the amount to reduce administrative burden; the Council asked her to bring a proposed ordinance to the October meeting. Administrator Erin Braband was asked to contact PE Moore to request a renewal quote for snow removal services, and President Schmidt requested pricing for a street sweeper to bring to the next meeting.
Commissioner Walter Chase also asked the Council to re-examine installing a sidewalk along Route 565 from Home Run Baker Park to the school; President Schmidt said he would pursue that project. The Council recorded no public questions or comments and adjourned at 7:05 p.m.
