Description:  In order to have clarity and make progress, the following items need to be discussed as it falls within an apparent gray-area within Board Policy and Supt authority.  I could not find this information. These questions arose when the offer made (close to 3% increase from previous contract) was not accepted nor rejected, but an unspecified significant increase was verbally requested.  I would prefer to do my due diligence prior to moving forward so there are no surprises, as much of this seems to be a Governance issue.

Description:  With the purchase of the 2 new vans, the 2 Chevy express buses are no longer being used.  And we upgraded the plow truck, so the 2004 GMC is also no longer being used.

2007 Chevy Express, 142,119 miles (for all vehicles: best guess on details, wouldn't take VIN#) - $6,055-$6,930, "good condition"

2004 GMC Sierra 2500, 38,842 miles — $8950—$10,975, "good condition"

2007 Chevy Express, 148,028 miles, $5,915-$6,780, "good condition"

Description:  The attached spending plans at the State Level. Due to the total amount to spend it requires Board approval.
