Board approves interlocal agreement with Ritzville for bus maintenance; shop rate increases
Summary
Trustees approved an interlocal agreement to use Ritzville's bus shop services; the proposed shop rate rises from $45 to $53 per hour and parts will be billed with a 10% handling fee, the board was told.
Staff presented an interlocal agreement with Ritzville to provide bus servicing and asked trustees for authorization to sign. The document specifies a new shop rate of $53 per hour (up from the $45 the district had typically paid); parts, supplies and repairs are billed and a 10% handling fee for procuring parts was noted.
A motion to approve the interlocal agreement was moved and seconded, and trustees approved it by voice vote. Staff said the agreement does not obligate the district to use Ritzville exclusively; it provides an option for service. Trustees asked for clarification on billing and whether routine items (windshield wipers, oil) would be charged and how parts on account would be handled.
