Board approves disposal of an old van, plans to replace with surplus vehicle from neighboring district
Summary
The board approved Resolution 25-26 to surplus an old school van with mechanical issues and accept a surplused replacement from another district; trustees voted by voice and staff outlined a cost-share and short-term reimbursement plan.
Staff described an aging district van with multiple mechanical problems and proposed surplusing it. The plan included acquiring a better-condition surplus van from Cambrian School District with a 50/50 cost split; the sale of the old van would offset most of the purchase price.
Details provided to trustees included an expected sale price for the old van (approximately $2,000) and half of the Blue Book valuation for the replacement van to be shared with Los Gatos Union Elementary School. Staff described the arrangement as cost-efficient and suitable for continuing daily food‑delivery runs to Lexington.
A trustee moved adoption of Resolution 25‑26 and another trustee seconded; trustees recorded voice votes in the affirmative. One trustee asked for clarity on logistics and staff confirmed the swap and short‑term reimbursement arrangements. The motion passed by voice vote.
