Finance Committee - 12/5/2018 Page 10
Alderman Caron
A question, did we ask to find out how many others, what the threshold was for purchases before they go
before their Selectman or Board of Aldermen, we weren't sure if it was $15,000.00 to $25,000.00. | think that if
the majority are at that point | wouldn’t have a problem either, Alderman O’Brien.
Mayor Donchess
Mr. Kooken has that, | don’t know if you’ve got it with you.
Mr. Kooken
| don’t have it with me, | do have that information and generally most of them are $25,000.00 or higher.
Mayor Donchess
We are very low. We really are on the low end.
Alderman Caron
Right | think so.
Mr. Kooken
And we were, at one time, | believe $15,000.00 and it went back to $10,000.00 some years ago, 2002, | think.
Mayor Donchess
Could you e-mail that to the members of the Committee?
Mr. Kooken
Absolutely.
Mayor Donchess
There is a spread sheet that shows that.
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you, | was actually wondering if that spread sheet also has information on like how many purchases last
year were under that threshold or over?
Mr. Kooken
| have that as well.
Alderwoman Kelly
Great.
Mayor Donchess
Yes we’ve had that and then we kind of moved on from that so we will come back and Mr. Kooken will e-mail to
everyone those 2 spread sheets. Alright, is there anything else?
