12 <br />1 Peter Murphy said the capital costs are primarily to replace older vehicles or vehicles <br />2 with well over 200,000 miles. <br />3 Commissioner Pelissier asked for an explanation of why the capital request is lower than <br />4 it has been in the past. <br />5 Peter Murphy said this is because the County is getting 5 new vehicles and 2 expansion <br />6 vehicles. He said, based on the rules, at least 3 vehicles need to be replaced for year. He said <br />7 the recommended vehicles meet the criteria. He said there are others that could also be <br />8 replaced, but if that were to be done now, it would create a predicament with vehicles used in <br />9 both the urban and the rural setting. He said these vehicles can only be purchased for the rural <br />10 setting. He said there will be another source at a different time for the urban setting. <br />11 <br />12 PUBLIC COMMENT - NONE <br />13 <br />14 A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Price to: <br />15 1.
