Selectmen approve sale of a 2014 Chevy Caprice; discuss courier fleet options
Summary
The board approved disposing of asset #101275, a 2014 Chevy Caprice (VIN read into the record) via GovDeals and discussed whether the town should reassign a hybrid or other vehicle for courier duties while considering replacement timing and fleet priorities.
The board revised and approved a motion to dispose of municipal asset #101275, described on the record as a 2014 Chevy Caprice (VIN announced), to be sold through GovDeals.
Members discussed whether to repurpose the Caprice for courier duties versus keeping a Tahoe or assigning a hybrid from another department. Staff reported the Caprice had high mileage and maintenance concerns; the board agreed the vehicle should be sold and that staff would look for alternatives (including hybrids or four-cylinder replacements) for the courier function.
"It's not worth saving," one member said about the Caprice after staff described mileage and condition; the board then approved the disposal motion by voice vote.
