It is a very old vehicle and this will continue towards the goal of reducing our emissions. It will also bring their
vehicles into compliance with the Transit Asset Management Goal that says we’ve got to keep, not only our
buses, but our support vehicles and our facilities in a state of good repair.
Mayor Donchess
And this 85% federal?
Ms. Chizmas
| believe it is, | think it and | am sorry | didn’t have this in front of me but | want to say this one is 85% and then
15% local or it may be 7 %, if you give me a second | can look that up.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
It does state that it is 85% federal transit administration.
Ms. Chizmas
Yeah it is just we have some grants that the State helps us fund with some of the match. So | just want to pull
that up.
Mayor Donchess
This is an electric vehicle, right?
Ms. Chizmas
Yes, yes it is.
Mayor Donchess
So the City’s share of this is $4,700.00.
Ms. Chizmas
Yes the City is contributing the full 15% matching funds.
Mayor Donchess
Any questions/comments? Alderwoman Klee?
