Tony-
The Finance and Cable Committee requested that I contact you regarding microphones they discussed with you at the cable
meeting. They would like you to prepare a purchase order for the microphones for the mayor to approve from the cable account
20212 52000. Please be sure to follow Massachusetts General Law Chapter 30B which requires three written or oral quotes for
purchases between $5,000 and $25.000. Once the mayor approves the purchase order you can order the microphones,
Cheryl
