RE: A Measure Confirming the Gift of $10,643.67 from the Department of Public Works to the
Gardner Community Action Committee
Dear Mr. President and Councilors,
Over the course of the last three (3) years, the employees of the Department of Public Works
have been saving scrap metal that could then be collected, exchanged, and the funds given to the
Gardner Community Action Committee to support their food pantry during the holiday season.
This was last done by the Department in 2022. In more recent years, the Department had held
various other “fill a front-end loader” style food drive events, as the metal collections continued.
As a result of the amount of metal that had been collected over this extended period of time, the
exchange funds received from the metal came to $10,643.67.
With the substantial increase in demand that the Gardner Community Action Committee food
pantry, this will be a large help- including being able to allow for increased protein options at the
food pantry until the end of the year as a result of this.
I hereby request that the City Council confirm the gift, similar to how legislative acceptance is
given when donations are made to the City.
Respectfully Submitted,

Michael J. Nicholson
Mayor, City of Gardner

DISPOSING OF SURPLUS PROPERTY
The Purchasing Office is responsible for the disposition of surplus items (office equipment, furniture,
vehicles, etc.). General office supplies shall not be subject to these rules (pens, pencils, paper, etc.). For
items with a value of $10,000.00 or more, the City is required per MGL to offer the supply through
competitive sealed bids or public auction.
For items with an estimated value of less than $10,000.00, the supply is disposed of using these written

Greetings and salutations,
I wanted to flag, in case it was missed, that at the last full council meeting on an item pertaining to free
cash/stabilization I made the following motion that was approved:
We accept the order appropriating $100,975.00 from Free Cash to the City Stabilization Account
AND
We direct the Finance Committee to study and report on the salt shed repayment issue.
The bottom part, boldened and underlined, means a new item needs to be created for the next (not this

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Brad

Dear Mr. President and Councilors,
Attached, please find an appropriation request in the amount of $35,200 to cover the grant match
for the replacement of our portable radios for our Fire Department. The FEMA Assistance to
Firefighters Grant (AFG) provided $330,856.32 for the replacement of the radios with the total
cost being $365,975. These radios are over 15 years old and in need of replacement to ensure our
public safety personnel can keep themselves and the public as safe as possible.
I want to thank all those involved in securing this grant, which allows the City to make much
needed equipment upgrades at minimal cost to the Gardner taxpayer.
An order for the transfer has been included with this letter.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Respectfully Submitted,

Michael J. Nicholson
Mayor, City of Gardner

Gardner, MA 01440
Dear Mayor Nicholson,
As you are aware, the Fire Department was recently awarded a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters
Grant (AFG) for the much-needed replacement of our current 15+ year old portable radios. Due
to manufacturer price increases since the grant application was prepared in late 2024 and the
addition of several operationally-required options, an amendment to the grant award was
necessary and the total number of radios to be purchased was reduced from 42 to 38. The total
purchase price for these new portable radios is $365,975.00, with the federally-funded portion
being $330,856.32. This grant requires a match from the City in the amount of $35,118.68.
The Fire Department will not be able to fund this through the regular operating budget, therefore
I respectfully request a Free Cash appropriation to cover this expense.
Please contact me with any questions.
Respectfully,

Gregory F. Lagoy
Fire Chief

RE: Free Cash Appropriation Request – Police Vehicles
Dear Mr. President and Councilors,
Attached, please find an appropriation request in the amount of $201,000 for the purchase of
three new police vehicles for the Gardner Police Department.
This is being done in accordance with our existing vehicle rotation program that our department
has been following in recent years to ensure that our fleet remains in up to date, safe conditions.
In this request is the purchase for one patrol pick-up truck in order to respond to the department’s
needs surrounding street shutdowns and transportation of supplies. This is a purchase that
responds to a specific need and does not change the department’s traditional purchase of
interceptor cruisers.
Due to market constraints with these vehicles, I anticipate these vehicles will not be available to
be in service for a few months’ time. Purchasing them now keeps us on track with our vehicle
rotation schedule.
Our rotation schedule suggests that the City purchases three (3) police cruisers a year to keep the
fleet up to the best level possible.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Respectfully Submitted,

Michael J. Nicholson
Mayor, City of Gardner

Subject: Gardner PD Fleet Spreadsheet

Good morning Mayor,
I have attached the spreadsheet that tracks our fleet. The blocks 25, 32, 36 and 100 are to be
junked shortly. Block 84 has already been traded last year toward previous purchases, but had
not been removed. Blocks 11 and 29 are assigned to the drug unit and have been completely
redacted. The blocks 20, 26 and 90 are the cruisers being traded this year toward the purchase
of the new cruisers.
I hope this helps. If you, or any of the councillors have questions, please do not hesitate to
reach out.
Respectfully,
Eric P. McAvene
Chief of Police
Gardner Police Department
200 Main Street
Gardner, MA 01440
(978) 632-5600 Ext. 148
