Bolivar City Council voted to accept a $50,000 state grant to purchase a 15‑passenger Sprinter van for senior transportation and approved the vendor bid of $42,000. Council members discussed seat counts and vehicle accessibility before voting to accept the grant and proceed with the purchase.
S1 told the council the grant was for $50,000 and the city received a single bid from "the bus center" for $42,000. Council members asked about seat count (13 versus 15) and vehicle features. After discussion, a motion to approve was made and seconded; S1 announced "Motion carried." The motion was recorded in the dialogue as moved by Mister Williams and seconded by Mister Lyle.
