city elevators to make an evaluation as to which ones might be in the most need of repair. We could either
leave it on as a tabled item or indefinitely postpone it.
MOTION CARRIED
Alderman O’Brien
| think what we did here is we kind of disagreed with the price and it was a single vendor that was doing it and
we questioned if we were going to get the best type of pricing and if it would be better to go out to other types
of vendors. | would not be in objection if we shot this down completely since the elevator seems to be
operating good at this particular time. Next time there is an issue and we go out to bid then maybe we look at
other vendors to get involved and give us the best price that we possibly can for repair. | would have no
objections to starting fresh at this point.
Mayor Donchess
The committee did a good job because the delay, the questions resulted really in a re-examination of the issue
which is going to end up with a better result.

DISCUSSION
Alderman Deane
Mr. Kooken, the change order on the parkway lights, the state RSA requires projects that exceed $35,000 to
be bonded.
Mr. Kooken
It should have been a bonded.
Alderman Deane
Does everybody understand that?
Mr. Kooken
Yes, $35,000.
Alderman O’Brien
Mr. Kooken, just look at purchasing emergency, like a police cruiser that was damaged in an accident out of
the CERF account and at that time we did push it through so the police could have that vehicle which was wise
however, we did have some questions on the insurance. Do we have any update on that?
Mr. Kooken
| believe we communicated that as far as they were going after the insurance recovery on that and the actual
fund goes back into the general fund when it is recuperated.
