In the future a lease purchase for a longer duration may be considered for the <br /> DPW. In the Police Department vehicle replacement program, a rotating schedule for marked <br /> vehicles is planned every three years, non-line vehicles are replaced every 6 years. Given the <br /> hard use of the Police vehicles,the use of the lease program is preferred. <br /> The replacement of the boats used by Natural Resources, Shellfish and the Harbormaster are <br /> deemed mission critical. Last year,the Finance Committee approved an emergency reserve fund <br /> transfer to allow for the purchase of(1)boat. A boat replacement plan would be considered in <br /> future years. In addition to the patrolling of waters, the boats would be used to haul and replace <br /> navigational aids. <br /> It was noted that(3) flagpoles are proposed to be installed at all three schools. The American, <br /> State and Tribal flags would be honorably flown at each site. <br />
