N Capital Improvement Program Committee Minutes February 10, 2015 Review & Deliberation, on Projects proposed_for_May__2015 _Town Meeting: SCHOOL DEPARTMENT: The CIP Committee was in agreement to continue to fund wireless improvements at the schools at a cost of $30,000. The use of MCAT funding was considered for this expenditure. Due to funding constraints, the capital request to fund core network switch replacement in the'amount of $50,000 was deferred at this time. TOWN FLEET OF VEHICLES: The Capital Improvement Program Committee gave consideration to upgrade the Town Hall Vehicle Fleet in fiscal year 2016 in a lease program. At minimum, three vehicles are proposed for replacement. It was noted the fleet is managed by the DPW, and Town Hall vehicles are generally handed -down from other departments, and therefore well used vehicles. Due to funding constraints, it was agreed the Town Hall Vehicle Fleet would be a capital item considered in the FY2017 CIP program. DPW STORAGE BUILDING: Estimates are currently being compiled to consider the much needed storage building at the Department of Public Works. The project has been an ongoing request in the CTP program. It is hopeful that estimates would be secured for possible design funding at the May 2015 Town Meeting, and construction funding at the October 2015 Town Meeting. It was noted that Chapter 90 funding is permissible for use to offset costs associated to the housing of vehicles and/or lease payments for the ensuing years.
