Purchase 2 Used Vehicles for Nutrition Reid stated that the nutrition program could use a couple more vehicles. After the Platteville site moves, there will be a need of a vehicle to assist with home delivered meals. The Bagley and Boscobel vans are not in the best of shape and may need replaced soon.

Reid hopes to find two vehicles off the lot with low mileage to fulfill the nutrition vehicle needs. Purchase Wheelchair Vans from Trust/Grant Reid discussed the need for a wheelchair van(s). Reid has spoken to DOT and it is a difficult time to receive a van through the Grant process. Reid may look at purchasing vans from the lot after the annual report is complete, stating the Trust fund balance. Rawson/Hirsch: Motion to approve the purchase of up to two vans, if sufficient funds are available. Motion approved.
