There is currently 60,537 <br /> miles on his odometer. The truck needs brakes, rear axel seals, a <br /> new exhaust system, and there is so much front end frame rust that <br /> it will cost $3, 300 to repair the damage. There are no other town <br /> vehicles available to him at this time. He researched the purchase <br /> of a new truck, approximately $18,000 to buy. He would like to <br /> repair the truck he is currently using. He felt that it was a good <br /> truck other than its current problems. He was utilizing the <br /> school's station wagon, but it was not a vehicle he was comfortable <br /> with driving near the water. He has been driving his own vehicle <br /> while the truck is out of use. Mr. York explained that he has had <br /> numerous people look at the truck and none can figure out why it <br /> has rusted in the front only. The amount requested by the <br /> Shellfish Constable is $3,000 to be transferred from the Reserve <br /> Account into the Shellfish Expense Account for the replacement or <br /> repair of the Shellfish Department's truck. Members of the Finance <br /> Committee requested that Mr. York get three bids for the costs of <br /> repairing the truck and then propose them to the Board of <br /> Selectmen. Afterwards, the Finance Committee would be willing to <br /> sign the transfer. Deirdre Greelish, MOTIONED to transfer an <br /> amount from the Reserve Account to the Shellfish Expense Account <br /> for the purpose of repairing the truck.

Denise Sullivan seconded the Motion and members voted <br /> unanimously 5-0 in approval.
