Mayor Donchess
Please note that Alderman Wilshire is present. Is there any discussion on the amended communication?
Alderman Cookson
Just a parliamentary inquiry. So I’m looking at the second page of the paper clipped communication and it’s
City of Nashua Public Works Division to the Purchasing Department. Did this have to go before Public Works?
It’s dated September 6. Was there a Public Works meeting on the 6" of September?
Mayor Donchess
No but the unamended communication which approved a slightly higher purchase amount they did approve.
Alderman Cookson
So yes it went before Public Works. Somebody in Public Works made a motion. It was a motion to approve
for a certain amount of money to a particular bidder and they approved that. They haven't approved this
motion which is to a different bidder and for a different amount.
Mayor Donchess
That’s correct.
