Senior services requests small transfers to cover van tires and DMV inspections
Summary
Human Services Administrator Danny Gorman asked the board to approve two FY26 transfers — $1,100 for new tires on two senior vans and $1,000 for required DMV inspections and minor repairs — and described how many senior programs are now funded by user fees.
Danny Gorman, human services administrator, told the board he sought a $1,100 transfer to replace tires on two senior vans and a separate $1,000 transfer for DMV inspections that resulted in minor repairs. He noted van maintenance can be unpredictable and that unexpected costs — such as recharging fire extinguishers or unplanned repairs — can arise.
Gorman described program-funding changes: the quarterly "loop" newsletter has reduced postage costs by encouraging residents to use an electronic version, and many recreational and fitness programs now operate as self-funded activities paid by participants rather than by general tax revenue. When asked, Gorman said ADA services and interpretation needs are met using staff iPhones rather than an outside vendor. The board approved the transfers by voice vote and forwarded items to the board of finance as required.
