Canutillo ISD approves purchase of eight electric buses using EPA grant funds
Summary
Trustees approved buying eight electric buses with part of the cost covered by an EPA grant and designated the Finance Assistant Director and a designated accountant as additional Lone Star Investment Pool representatives.
As part of the consent agenda, trustees approved multiple business items, including acceptance of the October donations report and updates to Lone Star Investment Pool authorized representatives. Item 6.A.4, the purchase of eight electric buses using an EPA grant to cover a portion of the EV fleet cost, was discussed separately. Dr. Oscar Rico and Mr. Ricotta answered trustee questions about the Highland agreement and the purchase.
On a motion by Mrs. Borrego, seconded by Mrs. Barnes, the consent agenda passed and the board later approved the separate motion to purchase eight electric buses (Barnes-Yes, Borrego-Yes, Maldonado-Yes, Ortega-No, Rodriguez-Yes, Zuniga-Yes). The minutes record the number of buses and the funding source as an EPA grant; exact dollar amounts were not specified in the minutes.
