Special Board of Aldermen 08-24-2021 Page 3
Alderman O’Brien
Since there seems to be a question, | have a parliamentary inquiry. Since there seems to be a question that this was
tabled, would | be correct to assume the proper motion going forward would be to remove it from the table and thus
enable us to have a discussion on the current motion?
President Wilshire
| guess we could do that.
MOTION BY ALDERMAN O’BRIEN TO REMOVE FROM THE TABLE THE COMMUNICATION FROM MAYOR
DONCHESS REGARDING THE PHASE II OF THE PUMP STATION UPGRADE PROJECTS
ON THE QUESTION
Aldenvoman Lu
Wouldn't that usually be done at a regularly scheduled regular meeting of the Board of Aldermen and not at a special
meeting that’s called?
President Wilshire
We can do this at this meeting.
Alderman Klee
| apologize. | do have the original letter from David Boucher. It says, “To approve the contract with Wright Pierce of
Thompson, Maine, in an amount not to exceed $427,600 for the construction administration services for the pump
station upgrades Phase Il project. Funding will be through...” I think that’s what one ofthe issues we talked about
was that this was a smaller amount.
President Wilshire
That was part of this project Mr. Boucher that $427,000?
David Boucher, Superintendent of Wastewater
That is correct. That’s for engineering oversight. We hired an engineer to help oversee the whole project. Wright
Pierce is the engineer. That is forthe $427,600. It’s part of this project but we’re contracting them separately from the
construction company.
Alderman Tencza
So Madame President if| may. | know there’s a record of this so. My understanding in the Memo we have before us
tonight from the Mayor is the same July 28" Memo. The issue that we had was that there was | think inthe agenda a
mistake as to the total amount which Alderwoman Lu brought up at that time the $426,000 or so which was the
discrepancy. What's been presented to the Finance Committee is my understanding had not changed at all. The
Mayor's memo has no changed. It was just a discrepancy in the agenda that was put out. I think that’s the reason
that we tabled it last time. We've made that correction but everything is the same.
President Wilshire
The motion is take that communication from the table. Willthe Clerk please call the roll?
Awiva voce roll call was taken which resulted as follows:
Yea: Alderman O’Brien, Alderman Klee, Alderman Lopez, Alderman Tencza,
Alderman Schmidt, Alderman Cleaver, Alderman Harriott-Gathright,
Alderman Wilshire 8
Nay: Alderwoman Lu 1
