Board authorizes auction of two buses and denies three-point seat belt installations over warranty concerns
Summary
Trustees authorized auctioning buses 13-01 and 14-R1 and voted to deny installing three-point seat belts on buses 16-01, 13-03 and 15-A1, citing potential warranty voiding.
The Reagan County ISD Board voted to auction two district buses and to deny installation of three-point seat belts on three other buses during its Feb. 18 meeting.
"Motion was made by Ruben Martinez and seconded by Felix Sanchez to approve to auction Buses 13-01 and 14-R1," the minutes record. The motion carried unanimously with one absent.
Separately, the board recorded a motion to deny adding three-point seat belts to specified buses "due to potentially voiding the buses warranties." "Motion was made by Billy Hodge and seconded by Ruben Martinez to approve to deny adding 3-three-point seat belts to buses 1601, 13-03, and 15-A1 due to potentially voiding the buses warranties," the minutes state. That motion also carried unanimously with one absence.
The minutes do not include a manufacturer response or detailed warranty language; the board recorded the warranty concern as the rationale for denying the seat-belt installations.
