Summary

Parks and recreation staff said the city added an 11-passenger van to its fleet and is advertising for an additional driver; the van does not require a commercial driver's license but staff said budget and scheduling will determine use of a second vehicle.

City of Angleton Parks and Recreation staff told the Senior Citizens Commission the department has added an 11-passenger van to its fleet and is seeking a driver to operate a second vehicle for senior trips.

Staff said the 11-passenger van does not require a commercial driver’s license; the department is seeking a non-CDL driver with a clean driving record or exploring seasonal staffing options. "We do have an 11 passenger van ... that has been added to our fleet," a staff member said, and added that with a van the city "doesn't have to have a, CDL driver."

Staff said the city is evaluating budget and schedule options during the slower season to determine whether it can expand afternoon and trip offerings. Commissioners asked whether the 11-passenger capacity includes the driver; staff confirmed the vehicle seats 11 passengers plus the driver (12 people total on board). No formal action was taken; staff said they will continue recruiting and return with updates.
