Board members agreed to bring the discrepancy to Treasurer Mary Castonguay’s attention.
Administrative Assistant Aaron Miller reviewed the town’s Purchasing Policy with board members who requested that Miller expand the policy’s five articles by referring to other municipalities’ policies.
The policy outlines the town’s purchasing procedures and promotes fair and equitable treatment of all suppliers of goods and services. Proposed changes by the board included omitting the requirement of the town administrator’s written approval of supplies or services exceeding $1,000.
Selectperson Brett Deyling also proposed changing the language of Section 4.E so purchase negotiations would be unnecessary for purchases less than $2,500, during emergencies, or when it is “impracticable or impossible to obtain competition,” as worded in the policy.
