Boscawen delays new facilities pickup; elevator maintenance estimated at about $115,802

Facilities Director Gary Moore and finance staff discussed vehicle needs and elevator maintenance. For vehicles, the group favored cascading newer DPW vehicles into facilities duties rather than purchasing a new facilities pickup now; Kate suggested a warrant-article approach if a new vehicle is pursued.

On building accessibility, Moore reported the elevator requires parts and mechanical work and estimated approximately $115,802 to keep it operational (motherboard obsolete; doors and mechanics need attention). Committee members noted the municipal buildings & grounds capital reserve had roughly $149,000 as of Aug. 31 and left the timing for major elevator work at 2032 provided reserves continue to be funded.
