Collins outlined the FY22 Capital Improvement Program(CIP)budget <br /> unanimously approved by the Capital Improvement Program Committee for the May 2021 Annual Town <br /> Meeting. <br /> The $2,656,046 budget is comprised of the continuation of the Police Vehicle Replacement Program, the <br /> purchase of new vehicles for the DPW and Fire, equipment for the DPW and Information Technology <br /> upgrades. The recommended budget also supports several needs of the School, and recommended <br /> improvements from the Planning& Construction Committee including a new DNR facility. Due to <br /> mission critical needs,two boats are proposed for replacement. The funding is collectively identified as <br /> follows; <br /> DPW: $256,000 <br /> Fire: $120,000 <br /> IT: $109,448 <br /> Natural Resources: $201,000 <br /> Planning & Construction: $1,534,198 <br /> Police: $224,400 <br /> School: $211,000 <br /> Total: $2,656,046 <br /> Funding Sources Identified: <br /> MCAT Offset: $80,000 (Mashpee Cable&Advanced Technology) <br /> Capital Stabilization: $2,576,046 <br /> The much-needed DNR facility was substantially reduced from $4.4 million to $850,000. <br /> The alternative solution and substantially reduced cost would allow for the purchase of(2) existing <br /> commercial bays (side by side) in the Industrial park. The site has been inspected and will functionally <br /> serve its purpose. This is a turn key facility for the operations of the Department of Natural Resources <br /> with offices to be used for the Shellfish and Harbormaster Departments. It is requested the DNR Facility <br /> be placed as a separate article on the Special Town Meeting warrant to make the building readily available <br /> to the DNR. <br /> Appreciation was given to the Finance Committee for suggesting this option. <br /> It was noted the budget is within the guidelines of the projected$2.5 million expenditure. To conform to <br /> budgetary constraints several items were removed from the funding proposal this year. <br />
