Committee recommends Senior Programs purchase a new meal-delivery van using millage funds

Mar 12, 2026

The Properties Committee recommended that the Full Board authorize purchase of a new Pacifica Select for Senior Programs at $41,982 to be paid from the Senior Millage (line 223601-980.000), subject to a budget amendment, replacing a 2013 vehicle that was in an accident and addressing fleet vehicles with high mileage.

The full story

Senior Programs Director Andrea Pomerantz told the Properties Committee that one of the program's delivery vans, a 2013 model, was recently in an accident and needs repairs that exceed the vehicle's value. She said other vehicles in the fleet are near or over 100,000 miles and described steps to improve fleet maintenance, including a regular maintenance schedule and vehicle rotation to increase accountability.
