<br /> trade-in is unknown—plus it's expected any purchase–8 years out will, as with all the other out-year purchases, be at a much
<br /> higher cost.
<br /> s Net cost was$228,210($238,210 less$9,999 for trade-in 2006 Chevy).
<br /> 6 Received by dealer on Mar 2,2018,but resolving specification issues;therefore, Put-In-Service date is yet to be determined.
<br /> 7 $485,000 was appropriated for FY2014 to replace E-2 that was plagued with serious mechanical issues. (See Committee's
<br /> Report to the 2013 ATM,Article 10(a), for the background on that matter.) The legal action taken by the Town for a refund is
<br /> been resolved.The replacement was purchased under the 23 Feb 2015 STM#2,Article 3,$500,000 appropriation for$415,000
<br /> ($465,000 less $50,000 for the trade-in of E-4—a 2003 Ferrara/International pumper that had been purchased for$210,000
<br /> and put in service in Jul 2003).Approximately$20,000 of the FY2014 appropriation was spent for ancillary equipment for the
<br /> new pumper. A rescission of$20,335 of the 23 Feb 2015 financing authorization was approved at the 2016 Annual Town
<br /> Meeting under Article 20 which closed out all the related funding.
<br /> 8 Pumper was purchased using funds received in Town's legal settlement with Ferrera FireApparatus. The 2010 Pumper was
<br /> returned to the manufacturer.
<br /> 9 This is the full purchase price. Rather than having traded in the then-current aerial truck as part of purchase of the new aerial
<br /> truck ($25,000 was offered), that old truck has been auctioned off—only bidder was the Town of Acushnet, MA—for$40,000.
<br /> (There is no new-equipment cost as the current equipment will be used on that newly purchased truck.)
<br /> (Fire & Rescue Department 5-Year Capital Appropriation History has been combined with the Police
<br /> Department History as some appropriations are for the joint benefit of both Departments. That combined
<br /> Public-Safety History is after the following Police Department narrative.)
<br /> Police
<br /> The Lexington Police Department, which provides public safety services through a team of dedicated
<br /> police officers, detectives, dispatchers and support staff, is supported by the Town's Capital Program in
<br /> the areas of communication systems, computer systems, and improvements to the facilities in which it is
<br /> housed and trained.
<br /> The primary, on-going, capital effort for this Department is the Headquarters rebuild of at the current
<br /> location at 1575 Massachusetts Avenue, with interim"swing space" at the 173 Bedford Street site after its
