ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Wilshire
Nashua always does such a fabulous job with their fireworks. I’m always happen to see this contract come
through. | believe Atlas was the provider last year. They do an excellent job.
Alderman O’Brien
Is this equal to what we have done in the past?
Mr. Kooken
| actually spoke with Nick yesterday. He is very certain they will do as well as what they have done in the past.
Alderman Cookson
It’s the second year of the three year contract, is that correct?
Mr. Kooken
Yes it is.
Alderman Cookson
It’s the second year. It’s an $18,000 investment and they are providing a $2500 discount. Next year, again
it's an $18,000 investment and there’s a $1500 discount. Then there’s an option for 2019 of $18,000 with a
$500 discount. It seems like we’re paying more every single year for the same amount.
Mr. Kooken
It is slightly up as we go along. It is still better than the others.
