Summary
The Florence Unified governing board considered the purchase of four used buses from Canyon State Bus Sales and amended contract language to require inspection by FUSD mechanics before purchase; transcript does not record a final roll‑call for the purchase motion.
During new business the board considered item 16.2: the purchase of four used school buses from Canyon State Bus Sales.
A motion to approve the purchase was made and seconded. A board member raised a wording issue in paragraph 5 of the agenda item, noting the sentence read that each bus was "expected by FUSD mechanics prior to purchase." The board member proposed striking "expected" and inserting "inspected," saying, "It needs to be inspected instead of expected." The motion was amended to require that "each bus is to be inspected by FUSD mechanics prior to purchase," and that amendment was seconded and restated on the record.
The transcript records the amended motion and a second; it does not include a full roll‑call or final tally for the purchase in the available excerpt. The board continued to other items after the amendment was recorded.
The change clarifies the district’s procurement expectation that buses be physically inspected by district mechanics before completion of a purchase agreement.
