Board approves $16,500 enterprise fund amendment to replace bus engine for county transportation
Summary
The board approved a $16,500 budget amendment from the Katz enterprise fund to replace an engine in a 2022 Ford LTV transit bus; staff said the money comes from enterprise reserves, not tax dollars.
Castle County Area Transportation requested a $16,500 budget amendment from the Katz enterprise fund to replace the engine in a 2022 Ford LTV bus. Staff said the repair is preventative after a diagnostics visit found low compression and that the expense will be paid from enterprise reserves rather than tax funds.
Commissioners asked about prior repair costs and the enterprise fund balance. Staff said the fund balance is sufficient (discussed as a figure “a little over $900,000” in the meeting) and that the Stearns Ford visit that previously cost about $1,400 would be reconciled with the vendor. A motion to approve the budget amendment passed by voice vote.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the engine replacement and coordinate with the vendor on any credits for prior work.
