3 Capital Improvement Program Committee Minutes December 9, 2016 Recreation: (continued) Feasibility Stgdk Ms. Bradbury indicated that currently the Recreation Department is not fully contributing to the adult population. To complete this undertaking for a community/recreation center, additional options such as potential partnerships with neighboring towns would be explored. If there is feasibility, other revenue sources for this project could be realized. When asked if Ms. Bradbury has percolated any interest with other communities in an Upper Cape regional concept,Ms. Bradbury stated she has not yet explored this option. In the fiscal reality of the Town of Mashpee,the Quashnet School project is prioritized over wastewater/cleanwater at this time, and wastewater/cleanwater takes preference over new recreational/community facilities. It was suggested the Recreation Director gather more information in terms of logistics. If there is potential feasibility,this concept would be further explored. It was agreed the project would remain in the que of the CIP as a placeholder. Health: Vehicle- $32,612: Board of Health Agent Glen Harrington was in attendance to request the CIP consider a vehicle for the Board of Health to replace a 2006 Crown Victoria with 40,257 miles as of September 2016. Although replacement is not anticipated"this year,this vehicle is a turn-back from the Police Department with low miles,but heavy use. Mr. Harrington recommended that a 4WD vehicle be considered for off road investigations. The Board of Health previously used a Jeep, and this type of vehicle worked well with the department. The Jeep also served as an additional emergency Police vehicle during winter storm events. In reviewing this need, it was agreed the Town Vehicle Pool would be further reviewed, and a less costly three-year lease purchase option would be considered. The replacement vehicle will remain in the CIP que for this fiscal year until the matter is fully vetted by the Town Manager. Police: Lease of Police Vehicles - $223,000: Mashpee Chief of Police Scott Carline was in attendance to review the continuation of Police Vehicle Replacement Program with members of the CIP. In FY18 the Police Department has proposed to complete the lease/purchase of 4 police vehicles at a cost of$48,000. This would be the final payment in Year 3 of a 3 Year Lease"program. A total of 10 police vehicles,black and white line vehicles are proposed for replacement in FYI which represents a cost of$175,000 in Year 1 of a 3 Year Lease program. Chief Carlin indicated this is the same Police Vehicle Replacement Plan that has been in instituted in the department for the past ten years. It was noted the plan works well without incident. In standard process 10 line vehicles, black and white are replaced every three years. Non-line or unmarked vehicles which include detective, administrative and detail are replaced on a 6 year cycle.
