4. Motion To: Purchase New Mower and Budget Transfers
COMMENTS - Current Meeting:
Steve Frazier stated, "I've studied my current budget standings and have come up with several budget
line transfers that will accommodate the purchase of a new Toro mower to replace an aged John Deere
unit. Total cost of the mower is approximately $52,000. 1 have considered current budget reconciliation
and what will be necessary to operate for the rest of the fiscal year and am comfortable with the
following recommendations:
Town of Wappinger Page 4 Printed 10/4/2017
Special Meeting Minutes October 2, 2017
Transfer $7000 fromA.7110.0106 Seasonal #4 to A.7110.0212 Equipment. The employee in this position
has resigned and it doesn't make sense to fill the position again this late in the season.
Transfer $18,000 from A.7110.00107 Full Time #3 to A.7110.0212 Equipment. The employee in this
position is not earning the rate the position was calculated for and there remains enough to cover the
rest of the year.
Transfer $15,000 from A.7110.0239 Parks Contingency to A.7110.0212 Equipment. This will leave
enough in Contingency to reconcile other deficient lines and leave a small balance for unforeseen needs
Transfer $2000 from A.7110.0412 Camo Water Testing to A.7110.0212 Equipment. I have calculated
usage for the year and this will be the surplus in this line.
Transfer $3000 from A.7110.0420 Gas & Oil to A.7110.0212 Equipment. I've estimated our needs
through the end of the year and this is the surplus
These transfers total $45,000 leaving a shortfall of $7000 of the $52,000 purchase price. It has been
suggested that this amount be transferred from A.1990.0402 Town Board Contingency. The mower will
be purchased through a municipal contract which forgoes the need for competitive bidding. "
RESULT:
ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]

5. Motion To: Transfer Money To Purchase Ford Transit Van
COMMENTS - Current Meeting:
Transfer from Supervisor's equipment (car) A1220.200_to Dog Warden equipment A3510.200
total of $ 25,000.
Steve Frazier wrote in an email to the Supervisor, "I have received the results of the bid request for the
Animal Control van, they are attached. The low bid is $22,542.16. 1 received a price quote of $1150 from
DB Graphix to letter the van in a theme similar to the Building Dept. vehicles. A driver's partition to
separate the operator from the rear compartment is less than $500 and I can install it. Total cost of the
vehicle is in the area of $24,192. It will be a 2018 model that will need to be ordered, there are none
available from dealer stock. Let me know if you would like to cover this along with the mower request at
the special meeting this coming Monday. Thanks!"
