Finance Committee - 10/16/2019 Page 2
Since we have the Director of Park Rec here, if he wants to come forward and see if he can, through the
invitation of the Mayor and the Chair, if he could repurpose this vehicle and has a need within the Park Rec
type of Department. If he does, and | would like to amend this to include $13,000.00 that would be the price
that we would get in the trade-in value and amend it to $146,564.00.
Nicholas Caggiano, Superintendent of Parks & Recreation
Nick Caggiano, Park & Rec Superintendent. This is the 11" hour for me too because we weren’t planning on
this but it actually is a good idea. Currently we have one bucket truck and it is a large vehicle. The use of
having a smaller unit that doesn’t go up as high would be very valuable; especially on Main Street. We do a lot
of banners and put up decorations and a smaller unit is going to much safer to use especially during the day
when we are out there. If the funding is in there and we can try...
Mayor Donchess
Do you want to take a look at it?
Mr. Caggiano
Sure | don’t know anything about it, | just found out about it. But it would be a good asset to keep if it is road-
worthy. Does it say what year it is?
Alderman Caron
2003.
Mr. Caggiano
That’s not that bad.
Mayor Donchess
So would the maker amend the motion to suggest that we increase the purchase amount by $13,000.00, save
the truck for Park Rec as long it passes Park Rec’s inspection and meets their satisfaction once they get a
chance to see it?
Alderman O’Brien
| would like to make the motion to amend.
MOTION BY ALDERMAN O’BRIEN THAT ACCORDING TO THE APPROVAL OF THE PARK
RECREATION DEPARTMENT IN ACCEPTING THE VEHICLE THAT WE AMEND THE PURCHASE ORDER
TO $146,564.00 FROM DEPARTMENT 152, FIRE RESCUE FUND CERF.
