Funds derived from the $90,,000 C appropriation for fiscal year 2012. The purchase was timely as the two vehicles being replaced have not passed inspection. The' on Manager wormed the Board that a third pick-up-truck vehicle used by the DPW did not pass inspection. This vehicle was also a part of the Capital Program,but was placed on hold due to ceding constraints. With the competitive bid savings o $24,297.12 from the original appropriation and a reserve fund transfer o $12,000,a much needed pick-up truck could be purchased for the DPW now to meet the demands of the upcoming snow plow season.
