ON THE QUESTION
Shawn Smith, Director of Plant Operations - School
| think it pretty much speaks for itself. The youngest of these vehicles we’re replacing is 14 years old. So | feel
like we got our monies worth. The oldest was driven by the Superintendent. Some of you may remember Joe
Guiliano. So this goes way back. The vehicles that we’re replacing actually we’re semi-retiring we'll use them
as spares for about a year. We're trading two vehicles that were actually replaced last year. The $106,000
and change that the total comes to will be slightly less than that when we get the trade in value. | don’t expect
that to be very much because the vehicles that we’re going to be trading in are even older than these so
maybe a couple thousand dollars less. We'll know when we actually get the invoice.
Vice-Chairman Klee
Are there any questions for Mr. Smith?
| just have one quick question Mr. Smith. Do the vehicles as you said that the two that it’s replacing obviously
we’re keeping those. We're not using those as a trade in. Is that correct? Just using the previous trade ins.
Shawn Smith, Director of Plant Operations - School
Yes. So the vehicles | replaced last year are the ones we’re trading in this year.
Vice-Chairman Klee
Do we just keep these others in abeyance in case something happens or?
Shawn Smith, Director of Plant Operations - School
Yes. So the box van for example, the cargo van, really all of them will be used by summer grounds personnel
or when one of my vans goes in for service, then the technician will be using one of these spares until they get
their own vehicle back.
Vice-Chairman Klee
Thank you so much. That answers those questions. Again, no other questions or comments? Mr. Clerk
would you please call the roll.
A viva voce roll call was taken which resulted as follows:
