Police Car Purchase



Bridgewater Town Council has given pre-budget approval for the police department to buy back the vehicle used by the South Shore Street Crime Enforcement Unit. Mayor Carroll Publicover says the lease expires April 1st, and it's a cost saver for the Town. He says although the Chev Impala is a 2007, it doesn't get severe use and has been fairly well treated. He says the mileage is not extreme and the Town can purchase out the lease and still get a good number of years of use out of the vehicle.The matter was brought to Council for early approval of the capital budget in the amount of 11 thousand, 245 dollars and 50 cents plus taxes.
