r <br /> Finance CommitteefFebtuaty 29,2000 <br /> is the desire of the Finance Committee that the Police Department provide this information, <br /> the policy for the past 5-6 years has been to go through the Selectmen first. <br /> Chief Przyb'lek noted that they do have the budgeted amounts in many of hose categories <br /> listing name by name. He said it lists the personel,and covers nearly everything requested <br /> by Mr.Arnold,with the exception of overtime. Chief Przybylek noted that this was included <br /> as part of their budget which was received by the France Committee. Chief Przybylek <br /> distributed an additional copy of this report to the Finance Committee members. <br /> Overtime <br /> Chief Prybylek stated that Section B,Section C,and Section D,and all the questions on <br /> overfinne will be covered during the review of the budget. <br /> Chief Przybylek stated that the van has been removed from the Capital hnprovement <br /> Program. It has been pushed to next year. He noted that,as far as amortizing the$ ,Ono <br /> over four years,the figures noted in W.Arnold's letter reflect an interest-fine arrangement. <br /> He said they cannot get an interest-free loan. They do leasing mostly through AMI using <br /> either the Plymouth County Contract or the State Contract via,the Greater Boston Police <br /> Council. The intermit gate on that is around 5 or %. He said you could push it out to a four- <br /> year lease. <br /> Some of the mons they lease is because they get quick turnover on the vehicle. Liability i <br /> the main concern with the police department. Before they were leasing,they had vehicles <br /> with over 100,000 miles on it and vehicles with tremendous maintenance costs. The liability <br /> for the cars on the safety aspect was not desirable. By doing the leasing program,they get a <br /> general turnover. They have vehicles that do high mileage on two-year lis and they have <br /> vehicles with lower mileage output on four-year leases. when they turn the vhicics in after <br /> two years,they get good presale value for there. They usually eliminate the high-end <br /> maintenance because the vehicles are being disposed of probably around the 75,000 to 80,000 <br /> mark. As far as mileage caps,they have no mileage caps on municipal leases. <br /> Chief Przybylek commented that,as far as the additional wiser,that has been eliminated b <br /> the Board of Selectmen. The reason for the cruiser originally was predicated on the fact that <br /> they were going in for extra personnel. Ther efore,this was a reasonable reduction in view of <br /> the fact that all personnel had been removed from the budget. <br /> Mr.Arnold commented that at the workshop held with the Selectmen,it was noted that the <br /> lease,when put over two years,is$13,900 per year per vehicle. If purchased,on 3 years, <br /> 75,000 mile warranty with zero deductible,it conies out to$7,500 per vehicle. Chief <br /> Pr ybylek questioned Mr.Arnold where he got his figures from. Mr.Arnold stated that he <br /> got his figures from ANU. He commented that he talked to Mr.Chasse at Ate. Chief <br /> Przybylek stated that there are extra costs factored in for emergency equipment,vehicle <br /> changeover and things of that nature. liar.Arnold stated that he factored all that in. Chief <br /> Pr ybylek stated that the figures they use are provided from AMI and then given to their <br /> Sergeant. Chief Prybylek stated that he would have to bring Sergeant Clancy in,go over the <br /> figures,and review them with AMI. <br /> Grants <br /> Chief P'r ybylek stated that the questions raised by Mr. Arnold conceming the grants do not <br /> have any impact on this F ` 001 budget. He stated that they only have two lines in this <br />
