This vehicle was approved as a CIP purchase for the current year. The overage <br />resulted from a miscommunication between the Town and the dealership; the issue did not <br />originate with DNR sta?. <br />The additional funding will cover the remaining cost of the truck and attached snowplow. <br />Although the vehicle will be assigned to the DNR Director/Harbormaster, it will also support <br />the Department of Public Works (DPW) during major snowstorms. In recent years, it has <br />become increasingly di?icult to hire contracted plow drivers due to insurance <br />requirements, limited snowfall, and rising operational costs. As a result, the Town has had <br />to rely more heavily on existing sta? with the proper qualifications and experience to <br />operate plow equipment. <br />This truck, will be used in the New Seabury area, where delays have already been <br />experienced in clearing some routes. Even with approval of this funding, residents should <br />expect that plowing delays may continue throughout the Cape due to workforce shortages <br />and the decline in available contractors. <br />Motion made by Greg McKelvey to approve the DNR request of $1,585.96 to cover an <br />unanticipated overage in regard to the purchase of a new utility/plow truck. <br />Motion seconded by Darlene Furbush. <br />Motion passes 6-0 <br />ROLL CALL VOTE <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
