The Finance Director forwarded a

payment for damage to the 2001 pick-up truck.
Payment will be made for the new bed, any remaining balance will be

The Selectmen will return a quote
for a new Bobcat amounting to $26,139.00 back to the Transfer Station for
adjustment; the Town approved only $25,000.00.
Selectman Hartman asked for the background regarding the bid process that
took place for the new Bobcat. Chairman
Eigabroadt explained that quotes were received for equipment like the Bobcat.
The Finance Director researched sources that have like equipment, Paul
Fouliard then contacted the sources for quotes. Chairman Eigabroadt discussed the
final purchase order for the 1 ½ ton dump truck for the Highway Department.
The Town appropriated $58,000.00 for the vehicle.
Chairman Eigabroadt discussed his concerns regarding the upgrades to the
vehicle; the upgrades were not discussed during the budget process or with the
Selectmen and are in excess of the $250.00 Purchase Order Policy limit,
(extension to the frame, larger fuel tank and a fuel transfer pump and radio).
Chairman Eigabroadt noted that these upgrades totaling approximately
$3,000.00 were added after the budget process was completed.
Selectman Hartman views the purchase as status quo regarding the trade-in
and the upgrades. Selectman Hartman
reminded the Board that all the upgrades were presented for the Board to review
on the original purchase order last week. Chairman
Eigabroadt feels that the upgrades were added in order to secure the trade-in.
Selectman Cook recommended meeting with the Director of Public Works,
adding the trade may have been in his mind all along and would like to ask Mr.
Brown what his thought process was in adding the frame and the larger fuel tank.
Chairman Eigabroadt recommended a vote to rescind the approval until
further notice. Finance Director
Wendy Pinkham stated for the record that the truck that is being traded recently
had a new transmission installed that amounted to almost $2,500.00, with that
being said the trade-in value is quoted at $5,800.00.
This is the third transmission installed in this truck; maybe the town
would make more money on the vehicle if it was bid out.
In the past the Director of Public Works has always included a trade
toward a new purchase. Chairman
Eigabroadt has learned that when the Director of Public Works heard that the
trade may go to the Transfer Station he then added the upgrades so there would
be no choice but to include the trade. It
may be financially beneficial for the Town to keep the pick-up truck instead of
trading. Selectman Hartman made the
motion to table further discussion until the Board meets with the Director of
Public Works. Selectman Cook
seconded the motion. Martha Mical commented that approval of the purchase would
be published in the March 15th meeting minutes.
