Board approves accessible minivan and ADRC replacement vehicle paid from trust and non-lapsing funds
Summary
Human Services Director Jill Bender requested and the Board approved using trust funds for a handicap-accessible minivan (up to $90,000, Wis. Stat. §85.21) and ADRC non-lapsing funds to buy a replacement vehicle (up to $45,000) to support home visits and transportation for elderly and disabled residents.
The Board approved two vehicle purchases to support Human Services operations. Human Services Director Jill Bender asked to use restricted trust funds and WisDOT trust fund authority to acquire a handicap-accessible minivan (projected cost up to $90,000) to supplement the existing fleet; the Board approved the request and the Finance Committee recorded a projected county fiscal impact of $0 because the purchase relies on trust/WisDOT funds.
Director Bender also requested approval to purchase a replacement vehicle for the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) using up to $45,000 from ADRC non-lapsing funds; the Board adopted the replacement vehicle request, and Bender noted that ADRC staff must perform home visits and that a dedicated vehicle reduces mileage costs. Supervisors asked about storage and possible departmental sharing; Bender said elderly and disabled clients have priority but other departments may request rides.
Both motions were adopted by voice vote.
