Board approves box truck and two activity buses, switches credit-card services
Summary
During the work session the board authorized purchase of a replacement box truck ($134,624.63) and two 14-passenger activity buses (listed at $91,453 and $89,884), and approved moving district credit-card accounts from Truist to FirstBank.
The Harnett County Board of Education approved multiple action items during its December work session, moving forward on capital and administrative items funded from county capital outlay.
Staff recommended replacing a 21-year-old district box truck used by purchasing and deliveries; the board approved purchasing the proposed vehicle from White's International Truck at a stated price of $134,624.63. The district also approved buying two Class A activity minibuses (14 passengers, non-CDL) to support club and team transportation across attendance areas; the two bids listed prices of $91,453 and $89,884 and the motion carried.
On administrative services, staff requested permission to move district credit-card services from Truist to FirstBank to consolidate banking relationships. Board members noted operational benefits and existing local contacts at FirstBank; the motion to apply for the change was approved.
Each item passed by motion with the chair and named board members recorded as voting in favor; detailed roll-call tallies beyond the names captured in the meeting minutes were not provided in the transcript.
