Mashpee Select Board Minutes February 7, 2022 Overview of the Fiscal Year 2023 Capital Improvement Program; The Capital Improvement Program Committee has been working diligently recommending capital projects to be funded through Capital Stabilization funds, MCAT, Ambulance Receipts and funds available for appropriation (Free Cash). The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identifies $288,500 to the Department of Public Works to continue their vehicle replacement program. Two vehicles are proposed to support the Fire Department's request as well as replacing breathing stations and equipment. The total funding amount is $215,000. Addition capital requests include $50,000 to the Information Technology Department for software, and $108,200 to the Department of Natural Resources for a truck and water quality improvements. Funding in the amount of $2,064,805 is earmarked for several recommended Planning & Construction improvements. The CIP also recommended funding to conduct a $376,000 diagnostic study of Santuit Pond and to implement water quality improvements to Mashpee/Wakeby Pond.
