6 <br /> Town of Mashpee Deparomnt of <br /> ic Works <br /> 350 Meetinghouse Road <br /> Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br /> Telephone - (508)539-1420 <br /> FaX- (508)539-3894 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> March 4, 2019 <br /> T0: Board of Selectmen <br /> Rodney Collins, Town Manager <br /> FROM: Catherine Laurent, Director <br /> CV/ <br /> RE: Request for Approval to Deficit Spend Snow & Ice <br /> Description <br /> DPW is processing expenses from the storms over the last week (DPW was called out for <br /> varying responses four times over the last seven days). These expenses will use all funds <br /> remaining in the Snow & Ice expense budget for the fiscal year. <br /> Background <br /> The annual Snow& Ice Budget is$116,570. While DPW started the season with over 1,000 tons <br /> of salt, 1,350 additional tons have been ordered to date. This represents approximately 70% of <br /> the budget. <br /> With the balance of the order being delivered this week, there may be sufficient salt for <br /> treatment for 1-2 events, depending on the severity of the storm. <br /> Recommendation <br /> I recommend that the Board of Selectmen approve deficit spending for Snow & Ice for FY19. <br /> Pros and Cons <br /> Without approval, DPW will not be able to respond to further winter storms. <br />
