body

Official Text

To the Honorable Board:

I respectfully request appropriation from the Capital Stabilization Fund in the amount of $142,036.00  to purchase four police vehicles.  These vehicles will be deployed as (4) front line marked vehicles. Police vehicles are operated 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  The average life of these vehicles are two years due to excessive wear and tear.  The vehicles being replaced will be converted for a secondary purpose as spare cruisers to be used when primary cars are down or during snow emergency. 

Respectfully Submitted,

Mayor Joseph A Curtatone
